Mr Happy,
I’m well aware of the medical community’s categorical dismissal of NPE and, yes, I’ve found their pronouncements to certainly be false (as per my gains). But, again, I’m referring to the posts from a number of veteran pumpers from a few internet forums.
Furthermore, I think it’s reasonable to suspect Kaplan’s own view of the permanence issue when he’s spent years dodging the FDA (why not work with them fully and “prove” that his pumps produce permanent gains?).
And, regarding the doctors’ dismissal of NPE, few if any of them conducted any research of their own whatsoever (in fact, one of the few NPE studies I’ve ever seen - which is also linked here - DID show gains, the defendants lost the (mail fraud) case based on the issue of *permanence*, not that gains never occurred. . Again, I believe they’re dismissing it based on the misunderstanding of what we do. They’re arguing that the penis cannot experience hypertrophy…….and most of us agree with that.
Dirk Diggler,
I was being a little facetious about the “15 days” comment. But, seriously, do you think you’ll still retain your pumping gains after a 15-month-plus layoff, cold turkey?
I agree that pumping & clamping are not the same thing; the main similarity between the two is, I believe, the unreliability of the “gains” produced by those 2 activities.
And, regarding clamping, bear in mind the risk you’re taking.
