Wrt ease of deforming, I was experimenting with heat and found that I got excellent (though short lived) growth. I have no way of saying for sure what went on, but my current belief is that it allowed some fairly extensive tunica stretching, to the point where I was making gains of 1/16” per day for about a week, then progress halted. I can only assume that structural integrity limits came into play at that point, so I decided to leave that avenue alone for a couple of weeks to allow recovery/adaptation.
Another thing I should point out about the above, is that measurements were taken as BPFSL. BPEL gains were minimal to none. What I have found in the following couple of weeks however is that the BPEL has been catching up. I am doing only a few minutes stretching, and approx 3x10mins cyclical pumping for the last week or so. By cyclical I mean I pump to a high pressure, hold for 30 seconds then release. I repeat the above a few times then stay pumped at about 5hg for the remainder of the 10 mins. I do not know if the catch up is due to this, or if it would happen anyway. My BPEL is currently approx 6.75 (was approx 6.25 previous to this), where as BPFSL is anywhere between 7.25 and a little over 7.5 currently, depending whether I measure exactly above the shaft, or from the highest region of the pubic bone. All numbers are approx as I can get very different readings depending on the time of day.
It seems that whatever method of enlargement (and there seem to be many with some promise), a 0.5” per month seems to be about the max. Gains of more than this appear to be very rare.
I believe another line of investigation that may prove beneficial is the use of PGE2 gel, though I have no idea how to get hold of it, and have even less understanding of it that of hormones. One thing at a time I guess. I may come back to that line of thinking in a few months time
Wrt adding IPM to 4ADerm: What proposed benefit would this have? Is IPM considered to have a deep penetration properties? Avant labs gels have excellent (imo the best) penetration properties around. The trouble with 4ADerm is that it’s well designed to do a job different to what we want. I don’t know a lot about IPM except that it’s cheap and well tolerated, and seems to have a carrier effectiveness of only around 10% 4ADerm is thought to be around 50% I have plenty of 4Aderm and MSM, so I could try mixing those together if you like, to see if it dissolves, but I’m on 5AR inhibitors, so probably wouldn’t be a good candidate for it’s effectiveness.
