The Question That Guarantees PE Failure

Sep 06, 2025

“How long will it take me to gain [insert measurement]?”

If that’s what you’re focused on, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

 

Why This Question Destroys Progress

Your brain is focusing on this question because it’s afraid of uncertainty. Humans are hard-wired to avoid uncertainty. By clinging to a timeline, you feel a false sense of control – “if I just do PE for X months, I will get Y result.”

But just like fat loss, lifting weights or running marathons, there is no guarantee that a certain amount of time and effort will create the desired result.

  • You could train for a decade and still come up short of your goal marathon time.
  • You could follow the perfect diet and still not be as lean as the guy that created it.
  • You could nail the perfect lifting progression and still lose the powerlifting meet.

Because PE follows the same biological process that drives all adaptations.

The Stimulus → Fatigue → Recovery → Adaptation model.

And because everybody needs different stimulus, accumulates different amounts of fatigue and recovers at a different pace, there is no one size-fits all formula to create an exact adaptation.

But that doesn’t mean it’s hopeless.
It only feels this way if you let your brain continue to run the “I need certainty” script.

 

Flipping the Script

Zoom out and ask yourself two simple questions:

  1. Would my life be improved if my penis was larger?
  2. Am I willing to put in time and effort necessary to grow?

If you can answer yes to both those questions — it’s a no-brainer. Start.
Pursue your goals knowing there will be challenges and setbacks, but if you stick with it, you will get bigger.

If you answer no to either of those questions — walk away.
Either it’s not important to you, or you’re not willing to do the work.

 

And if you’re thinking: “I’ll only stick with this if I see X result in Y days.”

You’re missing the point.
And this expectation will do more harm than good.

 

The Problem With Expectations

I want to be clear, goals are good, they set your direction.

But expectations are cancer.

An expectation is the belief that you deserve an outcome just because you did something.
Example: “I copied Dickpushup’s routine, so I am expecting to gain 1” in 6 months.”

That’s not a goal. That’s entitlement.

And in PE, you’re not entitled to shit.

 

Even worse, most guys expectations aren’t just entitled, they’re unrealistic too.
They assume they’ll get top 1% results without showing up like the top 1% do. Day in and day out, with near perfect execution, for months on end.

It’s like seeing a professional bodybuilder gain 20 pounds of muscle in a year, and assuming if you copy his workouts, you will too. But he structured every second of his life around that one sole goal of packing on muscle. Most people can’t or won’t, do that.

And when they don’t get the same result?

  • They call it a failure.
  • They get discouraged.
  • They quit.

“I didn’t get the result I was expecting” really just means “I didn’t get the result I felt entitled to.”

Goals are good. Expectations kill your goals.

 

But, when we make goals, we need to be realistic about the actions we will have to take to achieve those goals and if we are willing to take those actions or not.

 

Reality Check: What’s Possible

You know the boner pills in porn ads don’t work.
So hopefully you also know the results they promise are just as fake.

No, you’re not gaining 3” in 30 days…

But can you gain 3 inches?

I won’t tell you it’s impossible.
But I will say, after over a decade in the PE space, I have not seen that with my own two eyes before.

So, what does science — and my experience — show?

  • During puberty, peak natural growth is around 0.5” per year.
  • Medical studies on traction therapy show on average 0.7” gain in 6 months with 4-6 hours of use per day.
  • In my own training, using higher forces and smarter recovery balance, I gained 1.1” in 5 months.
  • My most consistent and healthy clients typically get around 1” in 6 months.
  • The range across all my clients is 0.25” to 0.7” in 3 months and 0.4” to 1.3” in 6 months.

For the average guy, if you show up for an hour a day, 5 days a week it’s realistic to gain 0.5” to 1” length in 6 months.

So, the question is: Can you show up and do the work?

 

Bringing It All Together

Focusing on “how long” is your brain’s fear circuit keeping you paralyzed.
Instead, focus on two things:

  • Will getting bigger improve my life?
  • Am I willing to put forth consistent effort to grow?

 

Goals keep you moving in the right direction.
But letting them turn into expectations is deadly.
Expectations create entitlement, disappointment and quitting.
And quitting is the only way to guarantee you don’t grow.

So, keep the goal in mind, but focus on what’s actually important:
The daily actions necessary to achieving that goal.

 

Stay in touch with reality. You’re not going to gain 3” in 30 days.
Your results will reflect your effort, health, lifestyle and consistency.
Top 1% results are reserved for guys with top 1% execution.

But that doesn’t mean you must be perfect to get results.
A half inch to an inch over the next 6 months is entirely possible if you are just “average”.

 

Two Paths to Choose From

Path A) Keep obsessing over timelines, creating unrealistic expectations and quit when reality doesn’t match your fantasy.

Path B) Accept uncertainty, commit to taking action, and give yourself the best shot at life-changing transformation.

The men who succeed aren’t daydreaming about timelines and demanding the universe repay their efforts with gains they feel entitled to. They’re showing up day in and day out, focusing on putting forth their best effort regardless of the outcome and letting the results stack up.
