Here are some quotes from this thread from corded guys, cordless guys, and guys who seem unclear on what a cord is:
************************************************
NO CORD - guys too lucky to know what a “cord” is:
WestLA: “some guys swear it is causing them problems.”
ModestoMan: “its resistance the stretching is not really impressive.”
Marinera: “I do have a cord but I never thought it could be a limit to anything (…) Even if septum was your ‘limiting factor’, it wouldn’t make much sense pulling it (…) the idea that, generally speaking, septum is a limiting factor for many or most of people is just another PE myth (…) if one believes that actually this is true (septum as limiting factor for length gains) than it becomes a self-veryfieng profecy.”
*************************************************
CORD - guys talking about how their cord takes ALL the stress of any stretch:
Soon2b9: “No matter what kind of stretch I do, this is the ONLY thing that takes any of the stress. It doesn’t matter if I try to hit the ligs, or the tunica, this thick cord that runs along the top is the only thing that takes any stress”
Meatplow: “When I hang BTC I get lig pull, but at all other angles this cord is definitely getting all the strain, and doesn’t feel like something that will break down and stretch.”
Nitefly: “when I stretch my penis, it’s restricted by what feels like a hard cord in the middle (…) All I know is, this hard cord (…) in the middle of my penis is what’s preventing it from stretching any further. So it just makes sense to stretch that first before the tunica can stretch at all (…) I think you might be missing the point of targeting the septum. My penis can stretch as far as the septum allows it to, no further. Whether its V or normal stretching. There’s physically no way of stretching any other part of the penis without first stretching the septum (…) feels like a very firm piece of rubber in the middle of the penis. So tough that it’s near impossible to stretch it? It’s much harder/firmer than anything else in the penis when stretching.”
************************************************** **
AMBIGUOUS CASES - guys who haven’t (yet) described the cord as clearly as others, or who seem to misunderstand what the cord is, or who may have mild cases:
Kojack10: “This is also the limiting factor in my penis that prevents it from stretching to a longer flaccid stretched length. To me, this is what we struggle to elongate. Everything else tags along and gets lengthened after this “cord”, or whatever you want to call it, becomes longer (…) This is the connective tissue in my penis that needs to be lengthened. Everything else will follow, in my opinion.”
***(FYP: kojack may be a lucky mild case, because “in my opinion” is an odd thing to say when you have a tough cord shorter than the rest of your dick taking all the stress of any stretch: there’s no question what has to get longer first: think of the 5 inch chain and the 6 inch nerf innertube again.)
Myquest: “I gained 1/2-3/4 inch fairly quickly, but as far as I can tell nothing measurable since. I have come to the conclusion that this anatomical structure (whatever it may be called) is my limiting factor.”
***(FYP: Strange to talk about coming to a “conclusion”: you either immediately feel this cord grow taut while the rest of your dick tissue stays slack when you stretch, or you don’t.)
dookie9: “Hey guys, I may be wrong, but is what is being referred to the seam or raphe that runs from the scrotum up to the glans?”
***(FYP: Nope - the cord’s on the top of the shaft.)
Djrobins: (quoting Marinera) “Imagine your penis as build like two bicycle inner tubes, connected together with a thicker tyre; would you pull on the thicker tyre to elongate the whole thing, or would you do the adverse?” (end quote)
You have to stretch that thicker tire, whether you are somehow getting heat into it, and using fulcrums up and down the entire length before there will be any appreciable stretch.
For many of us attempting to achieve significant growth in the tunica, it has to be done.
***(FYP: I’m not sure why DJ is talking about bike tires: 5-inch-chain/6-inch-nerf-innertube is what it feels like, it’s not ambiguous in the least - whatever causes it, you either feel it there, taking all the stretch, or you don’t.)
********************************
CONFUSION ON BOTH SIDES - guys are reporting different things about their dicks: the only reason to argue about this is if you assume all dicks are the same: apparently, they’re not:
Nitefly: “It feels like we’re re-inventing the wheel here. I thought this was common knowledge? (…) The thicker harder tube is actually in the middle of the shaft, preventing anything else from stretching at all, including the tunica. I don’t know how else to explain it. I know what the pictures are saying and I understand the bicycle tube. My penis is however soft on the outside, with a hard cord in the middle. This cord is shorter or less expandable than the tunica so how can I stretch the tunica if the cord cannot physically stretch any further? This is not a vein. Am I an alien? I’m hoping others have the same as me and would speak up here.”
Marinera: “The ‘septum is limiting my gains’ is kinda an axiom never verified, so, maybe instead than reinventing a wheel that probably was never invented, probably we are disproving a myth.”
*****************************
ALL DISAGREEMENT AND SPECULATION ASIDE, POSSIBLY THE LAST WORD:
Dicko: “you still need to pull your dick, there no real difference in what you would do to get any other length gains.”
To be fair, Dicko may only have a mild case compared to some of us. But BTC/SD/fulcrum seem to be the only piece of cord-specific advice to crop up regularly (except for one reference to erect bends, presumably downwards).
