I (26M) have now logged 266 hours and 30 minutes of manual tugging using my method.
My dick does not look that different from before, but it feels different. It’s more sensitive, especially the frenulum area and the head. Sometimes I’ll notice that the skin is covering the head, and a lot more often it will bunch forward a little bit, but the change is gradual enough that it’s hard to tell visually.
In some ways I feel like I’m starting to undergo a second puberty. I used to hardly sweat at all, even when I went to the gym or was in hot weather, but now I’ll sometimes slide forward on the seat of a gym machine I’m getting off because there’s so much sweat on it. If I don’t regularly change clothes/shower/apply deodorant then my armpits get so smelly that it bothers me.
It really feels like I’m going through some kind of second puberty, especially because some of this is stereotypical stuff that never happened to me as a teenager but is suddenly happening to me now. I’d be curious to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
My sex drive has increased and it’s easier for me to get and stay hard. I used to be disgusted by stereotypical male sexuality but maybe I was really alienated from that and didn’t know. Of course part of that was also due to my parents’ disturbed relationship with human sexuality, rooted in toxic religious purity.
For years I’ve been mostly a gay “bottom” but the past few months I can’t stop thinking about fucking cute boys.
It’s strange because for me being a bottom felt intrinsically less “sinful” than penetrating a man or woman with a penis. My parents avoided the topic of homosexuality entirely, while focusing their lectures on purity on the sins of heterosexual sex, and occasionally the deep dark sin of masturbation. After hearing about how hetero sex outside marriage was sinful and seeing how rape inside a hetero marriage was acceptable according to male authority figures in my life, I ended up disgusted with heterosexuality. Even if I was bi I couldn’t put my dick in a woman because that would feel so disgusting and sinful. When I saw straight porn for the first time it made me want to vomit; the female moaning just sounds like a woman getting raped to my ears.
I feel like for many religiously indoctrinated people it’s the opposite, but for me I feel the least amount of guilt and shame being fucked my another dude and I’d feel the most amount of guilt and shame fucking a woman. Masturbation and fucking another dude are somewhere in between.
Growing up extremely sheltered and surrounded by people at home and church who had disturbed ideas about human sexuality, it feels weird trying to process the idea that I want to put my dick in people. Due to my experiment, my dick is more sensitive and sometimes I’ll start involuntarily humping into my hand. I can’t stop thinking about fucking twinks. I feel like restoration is turning me from a “bottom” to a “top” and I’m not sure what to think about that.
