That may be a legitimate point. But the soreness from masturbation may be related and beneficial to the PE process.
If the thought that there are tears (or what ever type of beneficial damage) that takes place from PE, then when having an erection or masturbation may be re-opening those tears and not allowing them to heal the way typical injuries heal (as in, roughly the same size).
I am purely speculating here, but I have had a similar though and question as RandomGiant. But since he brings it up, it is apparent that it is happening guys other than myself. Also, either Modesto Man or penismith (maybe both) have referred to surgical PE procedures here the force of erections (after surgery) aids in the gain.
I might agree that masturbation alone may not change the size of the penis. But considering that other things are happening to the penis with PE, it may assist. Think of exercise. Going out for a jog before having to race is probably going to cause enough pre-fatigue that the performance will probably be off.
But with PE we are more concerned with stretching, as opposed to muscle building, for example. So anything that keeps the penis extended may be beneficial to length gains, as retail Extenders or ADS seems to prove.
But again, that is just a deduction based on some of the concepts I have read here.
