Tunica question

If the tunica does in fact become tougher over the course of a PE career, and gains become more difficult to achieve, does the toughness persist over an extended break, or do the tissues revert to their original strength (thickness)? If so, could be a reason why extended breaks allow for a rebound growth?

In every situation I have ever looked at, once the stresses are discontinued, the atrophy begins almost immediately, weakening the tissues. This includes ligs, tendons, muscles, and even bone. Look what happens to a broken limb in a cast for six weeks.

I believe, with little doubt, the collagenous tissues of the penis react in the same way.

That is the theory.

Thanks Bib, I hope that wasn’t too redundant. It’s hard to search for the answers to everything…and find them.

So is there a good rule of thumb involved? Like If you work 3 months straight, wait at least half that time on break to restart? Or does it need to be equal or greater in length than the time used to train?

Good question Twat. I know one thing for sure; after almost 3 months of PE, I finally took my first multiple day break (2 days) with absolutely nothing, and upon workout today I had my first red spots since I was just beginning. Two days can seem like an eternity when you usually take one day off at the most. Anyhow, even at this short of a time, something changes. What, I don’t know.

For when to take the break, I would say it is a personal thing, a rule of thumb might encourage people to be lazy, if you know what I mean. It would be tough to advise people on this, because only the individual PE’er knows how much effort he has really put in over that 6 month plateau or whatever, and also, some people break through plateaus by persistance, so perhaps for them it would be better to keep at it.
But yes I agree that the length of the break should be based on the length of the plateau. I suggest a 10 week break *maximum*, for any length of plateau (even years), but less should suffice in most cases (IMO).

Yeah that’s the annoying part of multiple day breaks, the skin takes a beating when you restart. I can hang for a few weeks without so much as 1 red dot. After a day off, they are out in force.
