While it seems you’ve been working hard, two months may not be enough time to show gains. True, many show gains in the first month, but they are the ones who follow the Newbie Routine of jelqing and stretching. Are you jelqing? Stretches alone, IMO, are not enough.

So from what I understand (and please correct or back me up if I’m right or wrong about any of this), having a LOT of about 7 o’clock to start with means I’m not in for any quick lengh gains (my primary aim). . I now understand that this is the worst possible angle to stretch at.. Right?
Some believe the LOT theory is Gospel, others, such as myself, think it’s an interesting idea but not of much practical value. So many guys bemoan their fate when their LOT number is low. The set themselves up for failure by self-fulfilling prophesy. Ignore LOT. Stretch in all directions. Jelq. Perhaps use a vacuum pump. Try something other than one-directional manual stretches before you give up.

My erection angle is high-ish, at about 10 o’clock.. Does this have a bearing on things?
In my opinion, no.

Do I have any potential for lig gains or must I now concentrate purely on my tunica? I read that it is possible increase your LOT thus increasing the potential for quick lig gains, but how would I do this? Given this info about the state of my LOT and erection angle can anyone suggest the best stretches to concentrate on? Would an A-stretch be better for example?
The LOT number is a predictor according to the theory. Some say their number changes with gains. So to change it you’d have to show gains and you haven’t achieved any with your current routine. If you still think the number is important, you’ll have to use another method to affect gains and change the LOT number. My advice - ignore LOT and do the Newbie Routine for two months and see if something changes.
Realize the some people are ‘hard gainers” and cannot change their penile length even with extreme measures. I hope not, but you may be one of them. Try something different for a while before you give up.

Moving on, I’ve been tempted to try hanging recently but how does one hang at an angle other than straight down assuming gravity is what is exerting the force on my penis?
Save hanging for a later time. Visit the Hanger’s Forum for info on SO (straight out) and OTS (over the shoulder) hanging. (Read for the information, wait to try it until you’ve done some jelqing and manual stretches in other directions.)

I have an ADS device.. Any tips on the best angle for using that at? My penis seems very strong and I have to exert huge force on it to feel any kind of stretch to the point that my arm and grip wears out in about 30 secs..
An ADS device is meant to put gentle, yet prolonged, traction on the penis. You should not have to strong-arm it into working. Most of those things (such as the Penimaster) have only one angle in which they work: down. This is due to gravity and the rigid nature of the device. It’s difficult to keep it up or to the side without causing undue attention to oneself.

Once again, sorry to bombard with questions but I really wanna get to grips with a routine that suits me and I have a feeling that I need some experienced specific advice (especially given my penis’s apparent desire not to grow if it can possibly help it)!
That’s why you have this world-wide group of friends who want to help. :) Are you using any kind of heat before your exercises? Can’t hurt and probably helps. Are you taking days off to let things heal? You should.

Finally, a random thought about surgery.. Is there any info about the effectiveness of surgery in a person with low LOT? Do you think that could be a factor?
Surgery, IMO, is a last resort for the truly desperate. Your current length and girth are on the upper end of average, if not the low end of large (I know it doesn’t look like it, but the numbers tell the tale.) Surgery is a very serious last step in the list of penis enlargement methods. I’d try everything else before even asking questions. However, I will say that most, if not all, of the surgeons who do that procedure would have no idea what LOT is and if it was explained to them would probably find it useless in regard to a successful surgical outcome.

Thank you guys so much in advance.. Without you I’d be languishing in the depths of fantasy rather than getting off my arse and doing something constructive about my desire to increase my piece.. ;)
We’re here to help. Let us know how things go.
