IR light and healing/rebuilding penile tissue

One of the benefits of IR light appears to be in healing. My question is: what do you guys think about “rest days” using IR light, for girth building? If we work out EVERY day, are we not allowing the IR light to have its healing/rebuilding effect? As there is still no concensus as to whether rest days are necessary ANYWAY, this is a tricky question.

I am talking specifically about girth here. I don’t believe rest days are necessary for stretching (length). It’s just a matter of overcoming the elasticity of the tunica, ligs, etc. But for GIRTH, there may be a “rebuilding” process - it is not just about stretching, but actually adding more meat.

Dangleman,

I guess IR light actually does enhance the healing capabilities of tissue. But, as for me, I only use it during my session where I tear apart my little guy. I think, you could only benefit in the healing process if you used the IR Light after sessions without any exercising.

I’m sorry I can’t say anything regarding rest days. I always have at least one or two every week due to privacy constraints. But I think, If you used the IR Light regularly throughout the day, you might not need any days off.

I think it would definately have benefits. That’s one reason I was interested in making an Infrared cloth sock (24 hour), but the idea didn’t seem to generate much interest when I mentioned it.

Another thing you can try (if you can bear the smell) is DMSO, which allegedly dramatically speeds healing. It is thought that the reason for this is that it move across cells much faster than water (which it displaces), and so speeds up cell processes allowing accelerated healing (and of course reduced inflammation).

I also read that the reason the garlic smell occurs is because the body is hungry for oxygen so it cleaves the oxygen molecule(leaving DMS), and can be limited by drinking a 0.5% of H2O2 in water as a sacrificial oxygen source. It would be interesting to try a DMSO/H2O2/MSM mix in order to see if a viable low odor compund could be created.

I don’t know Shiv, DMSO can be pretty nasty.

I don’t worry about days off as certain times I GO OUT or just don’t have time to spend 2 hours in front of a red light, so thats when I rest.

Don’t forget that sex is the best PE you can do so get sum!
Everyday after sex I swing low

I was only thinking of something in the region of 20% since it is pretty sensitive skin there. I’ve got 2 bottles of 60% in water here, but I’ve never used it properly because if I just dip my finger tip in the bottle I can taste it for the next 18-24 hours. If I can taste it then I figure others can smell it. I have MSM, but H2O2 seems to be a bit hard to get hold of over here or I’d try it.

About IR lamps..

Mine arrived from amazon today and I intend to use it before, during and after workouts.

What I would like to know is, if I used the IR lamp at various points though out the day, would this speed the healing process up further? I plan on PEing twice a day, 6 days a week, so if I have got my facts right then this will help?

Also, I am worried about the ‘plastic’ effect that too much heat would cause. Anyone got any advice?

Roid,
‘Too much’ heat with an IR lamp would be quite painful so you’d know about it. The target temperature we’re talking about with IR is at the warm end of comfortable. I say this only about IR sourced heat as other types (sitting in a hot bath for example) could start to scald the skin even when tissues just below the surface were still quite modestly warm. That is after all one of the purposes of the skin - to protect the body. I’m not sure what you mean about ‘plastic’ effect, unless you mean plastic deformation, which is something that you would actually want to achieve, as that is the permanence of the gain.

Xaxxat,
Yes, I read a lot of posts from TheLEDMan on the Yahoo Euon forum. He’s a very knowledgeable, reliable and helpful guy. Slightly off topic, a long time friend (nothing to do with PE) showed me a device recently that you put around your eyes that is supposed to reduce wrinkles. He didn’t know anything about how it worked but felt that after a couple of weeks use he could already see a difference, though it was still subtle (he’s in his mid 50’s). I took one look at it and thought “aha! IR LED device!”. I asked him if it generated heat, to which he responded “not really, well maybe a little”, so I suspect it is not in the FIR range, but interesting just the same in terms of biological cell energy availability.

I read somewhere that in order to stretch cells ones penile tissue must be in the ‘elastic’ state and not ‘plastic’ state which is caused by too intense heating. Or is this wrong?

I don’t know, that sounds like a mix up of two different ideas. Do you think you could find where you read it so that we can go over it for clarification?

Perhaps it was something you read about avoiding sports injury and warming up? (which itself has its fair share of myths as truths).
