how permanent is jelq in long run?

[showstoppa]

i'm quite convinced that jelq does work
although it takes persistence and patience
opening up the blood pathways will fill up the penis tissue better
but i was wondering how longlasting are the effects of jelq?
are they only temporary and require routine maintenance?
or will adding say an inch or so to your size stay that way even if you break out of a jelqing routine?

as long as u continue to have regular erections im pretty sure that once your cock increases in size it will stay there.. ive stopped my routine for a month or so here and there and it did not shrink..

after 6 weeks it starts to shrink slowly.
For me after 12 weeks of no excercise 6 to 12 weeks worth of excercise have shrunk away..so it is really frustrating.

Here is what is more frustrating. After 12 weeks of no excerise my penis feels better between my legs. I gets harder more frequently e.g. morning erections in dreams, dancing in clubs with chicks etc.

I just wish I knew wish excercise is the one that is bad for me:
jelq, pump, clamp, slight stretching.
Personally I think for me clamping and stretching are bad and jelq is not good.
I can;t see what damage pumping could do.

This is for me, for other people maybe these excercises do not cause any of these side effects, though I know of a 60 year old guy who used weights for 2 years and now his penis is buggered and will not get hard anymore..not even with Viagra.

Periods with no exercises and less erections have caused a maximum of 1/4" shrinkage in length and 1/8" in girth. Annoying having to regain those losses!!

I would say over the years I have lost maybe 1/8-1/4" not bad considering I don't do it much anymore.
