How Stretched Should I Be With Extender On?

I’d like to start by saying I’m a total beginner .. Like second day into it this kinda thing. My bone pressed erect penis is 6.5 inches and the quick extender guide said start with my erect length minus 2 inches which means I’d start at 4.5 inches. At this setting I really do not feel any significant stretching. Another post I read said start at your erect length and go from there. I settled in the middle at 5 inches but now I feel like a rogue not following anyone instructions. What would you more knowledgeable/ experienced users recommend I begin at? Thank you in advance!

I recommend starting with the newbie routine. It will provide benefits more effectively than an extender would, if you are a complete beginner.

I’m assuming that “erect minus two” is an incredible over-abundance of caution on their part. For any guy, there’s no extension—just sag. I think you’ve got the right idea going there.

How you set your extender is key. How much length you need is based on the tension you wish to generate. Have you checked the How to Read & Adjust Rod style Traction Devices (X4/Size Genetics/JES/Similar) thread?

Pick a tension level you want. Your penile elasticity will be what it is. So stretching to a certain level of length is immaterial. The amount of tension the device gives per hours of time is all that matters. However you get it.

So, if I read it correctly, there should be enough force on my dick that it holds the spring down to cover one of the lines(depending on the tension I’m going for)? I have it set at my bone pressed erect length but still it just stretches out like crazy and the tension lines are all visible. Plus, my head is so squished/shrivelled/purple that It looks like it’s hanging on for dear life lol. Can a dick have too much elasticity for an extender?

Yes, you understand the tension concept correctly.

In theory yes a dick can be too elastic. However I doubt this in your case.

Have you dialed the bottom dials to extend further once you’ve strapped into the extender? Those I find, once strapped in, are useful for adjusting to tension desired.

When strapped in with all lines showing dial the thumb screws in the base outward until you generate tension enough to cover one line. Do it for 30 minutes. See what you can stand.

That’s great that means your penis is longer than what you measured.

You need to learn and familiarise yourself with the measurement BPFSL. This means grabbing your penis right behind the glans pulling it out as long as possible with real force (not excessive but really pull until it doesnt stretch anymore) now measure pushing a ruler into the bone directly in the middle above your shaft. The measurement is how long your penis will stretch. Set your extender to the same or close to this length.

It is only by increasing BPFSL that your penis will grow and you will be measuring your progress with the extender in BPFSL increases.
