Question for the Vets

I believe I read a thread somewhere here that the reason why pulling straight up targets the tunica exclusively was because pulling up generated slack in the ligs. If I’m right about that, then why is it that pulling straight up for me gives the greatest tug back effect? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Also, if pulling straight down for me gives me the least tug back effect, yet the ligs should be fully extended? Is it my misunderstanding of what actually is pulling the penis? My understanding is the ligaments pulling it in because of a muscle reflex. If I am right, then wouldn’t pulling up give a better stretch for the ligaments and vice versa?

Look at the lig diagrams in this post number 4 from westla. I think it will help you figure out how and where the ligs are attached and explain your stretching question.

Yes, at upward angles the ligs are out of the picture.

Because the ligs are out of the way at that angle. You’re pulling only against the muscles that tug back the penis. You are above your LOT.

KOG wrote up a good explanation of LOT theory. Here See if it helps explain. I can’t draw worth a damn.

When above your LOT (stretching up) your stretch is transmitted via the shaft directly to the “tug back” muscles near the root of the penis. As you lower the angle of stretch, at some point the ligs become tensioned and intervene. When the stretch is low enough, tension is directed through the ligs, bypassing the part of the shaft that lies behind them.

Thank you guys. Lot clearer now.
