Buckfever's Post Collagen Remodeling Theory Journal

3/17/2021

Curiosity got the better of me and after a workout I tested the response of a second session. The tissues felt very compliant right off and I took the tension to just 48% measured and got ~ the same measurement as at the morning session @ 84%. This is a curious finding and one I want to explore later. I did not push it further as I want to keep the glans tissues robust for the current campaign and I might have company later, but I am curious if with a second session after a sufficient rest period a greater accommodation is available.

So yeah once we conclude this campaign 8-9 weeks out, I’ll explore this a bit as part of the maintenance period transition.

35 minutes @ 84% session tension at 15 minutes

3/19/2021

60 minutes @ 84% session tension at 15 minutes

Continued improvement as indicated by improved glans tissue condition at end of session and the ease with which exit from the device at the end of the session occurs. We are clearly handling the 84% traction level at this point in time.

Yesterday unplanned intimacy, EQ was good but not nearly as robust as when taking the morning off as I typically do on Saturdays. Thinking to add a second session on Wednesdays when I am off based on the experimental results this past wed.

There is something that happens in terms of perception. Yesterday my erect penis did not look big to me but when I went to tie off the condom it was fully extended. Either it’s because we’re used to looking at it so it looks normal or it’s the angle from up above.

This morning when looking at it when first waking and seeing it in the mirror from the side as I was passing by, without an erection just fluffy as it is when first waking, it looked impressive..

I think as long as there is this predominant visual view from on top, we likely will always be spurred on to want a little more. Whatever.

60 minutes @ 90%, session tension at 15 minutes.

Was not planning to up the tension but it was there so I thought I would give it a go even if for a shorter time period. As it turned out we got the full 60 minutes, with little difficulty and removal of the device revealed that the tissues were is good condition . We’ll see post session and especially tomorrow how the tissues tolerated it. For sure we’re getting closer to wrapping this up. This campaign has gone real well, I’ve got to run, I’ll write some more thoughts later.

So on an extender thread Norwegian Wood mentioned the importance of having the the glans well forward in the cradle so that there is a secure attachment and I want to reiterate the point. The tip of the glans should be ahead of the end of the cradle and indeed when I do the reset at 5 minutes it is well ahead of it. I waisted a lot of time periodically not appreciating this point so want to reiterate the point here as well.

If you do the attachment this was there is no slippage and there is much less stress on the noose and the noose winds up lasting forever as well requiring infrequent replacements.

But perhaps even more importantly, with a secure attachment there is much greater precision in terms of applying a progressive load regiment. The increments are much more accurate with a consistent secure attachment.

Some may wonder when I am making consistent progress still why I am looking to shut it down so soon. Well my thinking on this in that during the maintenance period the turnover of the tissue gain as a result of the mechanotransduction process, is progress towards the next campaign and I suspect on a purely anecdotal basis that leaving some in the tank will only facilitate that process.

Pure conjecture to be sure, BUT we have a lot of anecdotal data here that supports such a notion and the little clinical data that we do have at the very least does not contradict such an idea.

FWIW

23 minutes @ 90% session, tension at 15 minutes.

Did not get the attachment right, it was uneven so ended the session early to preserve condition of the glans tissues at the point of attachment. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow. Looking at the log though I had a similar shorter session after an hour long session last Sunday with a higher tension so that might be a factor as well we’ll watch for that tomorrow.

3/23/2021

40 minutes @ 90% session tension at 15 minutes.

Ok so today went much better, thinking we’ll be okay with the 90% tension.

3/24/2021

60 Minutes @ 92% session tension at 15 minutes

I have noticed that the glans condition seems more robust the day after intimacy, particularly if it’s a good session with excellent engorgement. Took advantage of that to up the tension 2%. Session went well. Tissues at end of session in good shape. Starting to think I’m only 6 weeks away from solidifying this extender length. Plenty of time before I switch the focusing on the summer esthetic.

One thing about the esthetic of length. It’s a magnificent sight when her hand is wrapped around your penis and there’s still a lot of dick showing. But maybe then it’s just what we attach to within the realm of our experience. Maybe if you’re as thick as a coke can, that’s what you attach to.

It’s all good.

Great thread - thanks.

I’m using a Quick Extender Pro, and having some difficulty with making sure I have the right setup to get results. You mention several times to shortening the rods and getting the right noose connection inspired me to reduce the length and try to get a better connection to the head plate. I’ve only been using it for a week and a half - up to about 5.5h/day now. I’ve been using the fine tuning of the screws, but it doesn’t show that I’m moving towards or past the tension lines on the rod much. If I go longer on the bars then I can get it to through the first line, but the noose loosens over each 20 minutes and I have to tighten it back down, which can pinch - so I’d love to set and forget. Perhaps I just need to use it a month before the tension lines start to disappear. The springs are 3500’s.

One questions is - when you measure erection to set the initial length, should it be NBPEL or BPEL? I guess BPEL makes the most sense logically.

The last thing I want to do is waste time getting no results.

Anyway - I imagine I’m not being entirely clear on every question/comment, but would appreciate any thoughts you have.

So you say that the “noose loosens over each 20 minutes”, what exactly is happening there? Is the noose slipping through the holes?

I’m using a single noose but with the hybrid cradle I am running velcro through the slots and securing the noose so that this way it does not slip.

The other aspect is how you are attaching to begin with.
1. make sure you pull as much skin through the base as you can.
2. With the one hand compress the extender fully while at the same time reaching through the noose to pull the glans through the noose.
3. With the free hand position the noose correctly on the glans and then with the hand holding the glans push the glans towards the noose so that the noose is held in the correct position.
4. With the free hand reach below and start pulling the noose through to tighten, a little on each free end to keep it even and when fully tightened secure the noose.

At this point there should already be substantial tension in the springs and the glans should be positioned at the top of the cradle.

If you can get this position and there is no tension in the system you need more length to the extender.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need more clarity.

41.5 minutes @ 95%, session tension at 15 minutes

There is less tension now when attaching to the extender, so I increase the rate of tension increase. So it’s reset to a more forward position at 5 minutes and then 25 half turns at 7.5, 10 and 12.5 minutes and 20 at 15. The idea here is that I will eventually get to 100% at 15 minutes in. Things have seemingly accelerated here, but I think all that happened is that we recently realized a small accommodation. I just need to be patient here for a couple weeks and not rush it to avoid attachment irritation from too much tension and we’ll get this campaign shored up!

Thanks for your response - I appreciate it!

I made some modifications yesterday and oiled the springs - now it’s much more comfortable and seems to be working better.

I added the velcro mod to replace the noose closest to my body
Used a small piece of foam inside the infant sock I’m using just covering the frenulum to avoid the pinch
Using only the outside most noose strap

I am now able to get tension with no noose slippage. Current hotspot is where the base presses against my scrotum - I’ve added padding but need to add some more I guess.

As stated I’m only into this a week and half or so, and expect that by the time a month rolls around I will have been conditioned to the point that it’s pretty easy.

Thanks again - here’s to making some gains.

“I am now able to get tension with no noose slippage.”
Awesome!

“Current hotspot is where the base presses against my scrotum - I’ve added padding but need to add some more I guess.”

You’ll get used to it.

60 minutes @ 100%, session tension at ~ 15.5 minutes.

Clearly the tissues have made an accommodation recently as the tension was lower throughout the ramp up and so we were able to comfortably take it to goal tension for this campaign. Now our strategy changes to consolidation before going into maintenance. We’ll put in 6 weeks with the same regimen and at that point take a solid measurement for future reference, before transitioning to maintenance.

I do still want to explore shorter more frequent sessions. Basically I want to try a regimen of not less than 9 sessions a week of 45 minutes of total length, with 30 minutes of time under tension, approximating the protocol that the Restorex clinical trial used. They actually recommended twice a day without a day off, but taking the Saturday off for optimal EQ on Saturday night is a mainstay for me. And working 4 10s makes an second session on those days challenging. Because I have learned to establish a solid attachment without issues of slippage I feel I can replicate their treatment effect.

So maybe at the end of the 6 weeks I switch to that for 3 months in lieu of maintenance, but I would need to add a 1/4” spacer to the extender at that point for sufficient tension and that’s the kicker as I am concerned that prolonging entering the maintenance phase may push out the remodeling needed for the next campaign 240 days later. We’ll see

The other thing that I may try at the encouragement of Titleist is pumping. Although I’ve tending to view that from a clinical perspective as more a facilitator of EQ and healing rather than restoration or enlargement, that view is based on the lack of clinical studies to support it.

Thing is though that there is likely not going to be clinical studies on pumping(VED devices) as there is no obvious commercial angle presently that would support such a study, so such a view I recognize as short sighted. The other concern I have is that it will become a novelty in terms of experience, that I might enjoy it rather than be intrigued by effectiveness. We’ll see.

And then finally I really do not want to gain girth as I’m nearing the limit in that regard for the nature of the play that I enjoy, but I suppose that limiting the width of the cylinder should sufficiently deal with that.

I have to say that I’m pretty happy about this campaign, I really wasn’t sure that I would be able to take it to 100% and am looking forward to at some future point after once again allowing for tissue remodeling, to take another run at it so as to see if additional accommodation is available or if substantially diminished returns suggest a limit.

60 minutes @ 100%, session tension at 15 minutes.

Well that’s 2 days we got to 100% and for 60 minutes, not saying it will be a straight line from here but it’s looking pretty good and I suspect this will be pretty well consolidated in the next 3 weeks. I will go six before switching to maintenance to be sure and at 6 weeks I’ll get some measurements for future reference.

Yesterday there was feedback during intimacy and then I got some pretty explicit feedback after: “I can’t believe how big your penis got, it actually hurt a little….”

It was not a complaint it was positive feedback to be sure and it was a bit prolonged of a discussion, she wanted to ensure that the point was made. I responded that I thought it was fortunate but that I wasn’t sure how much of a difference it makes. I guess I don’t think a gentleman should be boastful.

Yet my instinctive internal response is to want to be even a little bigger. LOL I don’t even know how to wrap my brain around the psychology of that.
