I voted “Yes! I think this is very important” because it clearly is important, regardless of one’s opinion about the surgery. Men are going to have the surgery. Therefore, a dedicated forum that offered detailed and objective information on the surgery would be an enormous benefit to them. Bottom line. There is a separate hanging forum and a separate pumping forum. The surgery is a sufficiently significant and complex form of PE that it should also have a separate forum.It is not true that this is a place of manual or natural methods, not surgical. Every time this is suggested, I go back and check the title of this forum: “Thunder’s Place Free PE Forums.” Nothing in this name suggests a bias against any one form of PE.
Further, surgery has and always will be discussed here, along with other methods. Look at the response to 8-Ball’s thread. Certain people might not be interested in the surgery, or they might think it dangerous. But the same is true of hanging and pumping. There are some men here who simply refuse to hang weights from their dicks or to subject them to any amount of vacuum pressure. To each their own. Those who are not interested in the surgery can simply choose to ignore a forum dedicated to it.
Thirdly, these notions of “manual” and “natural” are misleading, and even wrong. What is natural about using a pump or a clamp and weights? They are both technical devices made by human beings. That is, they are artifactual, not natural. Nor are they manual in any significant sense. Yes, you use your hands to attach the clamp and the weights, and to operate the pump. But then, you also use your hands to do these and similar things post-surgery. The only PE methods that could legitimately be called “natural” and “manual” are jelqing and squeezing and stretching—with the hands only, no devices. But we are well beyond these simple procedures here at Thunder’s. Also, many guys here now take Viagra and Cialis for recreational use, and even to assist them with their PE. This is as medical as you can get. Nothing natural or even manual here, except that you have to use your hands to take the stuff.
As 8-Ball expressed, surgery is not the “quick” or “easy” or “instant” way to a larger cock. It just isn’t. This is particularly true of the lengthening procedure, which requires months of hanging or stretching post-op. In my opinion, the lengthening procedure is really nothing more than an aid to hanging and related exercises, an aid that may be beneficial to those who have found it difficult or impossible to gain length by hanging, etc., alone.
As far as “disappointment,” “pain,” and “unfulfilled dreams” go, just consider the experience of many here with our “natural” and “manual” methods of PE. Lots of injuries, and pain. Lots of hard-gainers, and disappointment and unfulfilled dreams. No method is exempt from risk, and no method guarantees success. Surgery is not unique in this respect.
Forgive me, but this is really silly. “Free” here means that one doesn’t have to pay to be a member, to have access to the information and discussions available here. It doesn’t mean that the methods themselves are free. A lot of guys here spend quite a bit of money on equipment for PE.
