How do you determine all that without measurements?

There’s actually lots of measurements. Tension, duration, # of daily and weekly sessions. Total weekly session time. Total time under tension. There’s also years of logged data from which a large sample size allows for conclusions for be drawn with a sufficient confidence interval..

But then maybe I’m not understanding the question.

I think maybe you’re asking how can I make conclusions without measuring the change is the slope of the strain?

Ok well I don’t think that you actually have to measure strain for assessing if the volume is too much or even progress for a settled upon method. I think the change in the slope of the rate of increase in BPFSL over time is sufficient in the later case.

I think the strain curve was useful in comparing the differences in the effect of ultrasonic heating versus not using heat and also to make assessment in terms of optimizing(minimizing) load requirements.

But not for this sort of thing, this isn’t that hard.

20 minutes @ ?120%

I wound up getting distracted losing count and over tightened. Didn’t have time to start over so just let it go to 20 minutes and we’ll get it right tomorrow.

5/7/2021

39.5 minutes @ 100% session tension at 14.5 minutes

Started out great but then the glans started to complain so I cut it short. I’m wondering if the noose integrity is an issue. Will replace.

As much as I wanted this campaign done today, recent deviations are probably going to require a couple more weeks before maintenance.

5/9/2021

60 minutes @ 75%

So per the last observation of the loss of noose integrity we changed out the noose and reviewing the log It has been a very long time, which IMO was an oversight. This was a result of reducing the extender length slightly and better attachment procedure, which obscured the loss of noose integrity. But with the new noose we are creating higher tension as there is much less give. So we reduced the tension to get good duration and we’ll have to work back up.

We’ll see how much of a hiccup this turns out to be.

5/10/2021

22 minutes @ 50%

Today was a cluster fuck. I was half asleep and got the attachment wrong which put undue stress on the glans and then when I tried to reset the tissue condition had been too adversely affected and the stress relaxation had put the position so far forward that I could not execute properly so I shut it down.

I should have taken measurements a couple weeks ago and had made the shift to maintenance, but now I’m stuck waiting to sort this out because I need the baseline measurement for the next campaign.

5/11/2021

18 minutes @ 100%, session tension at 15 minutes; 19 minutes @ low tension

Ok so the new noose setup is creating much more tension than previously, this particular noose it a hair thicker based on the difficulty of securing it in the slots so the thickness combined with having less give is setting the glans further in the cradle. So we’ll have to back off the tension and bring the tension back up which I started today but will take up in earnest tomorrow. Will extend this campaign 3 weeks to the 28th to sort out this new apparatus, get measurements and then a hard stop to maintenance.

5/12/2021

65 minutes @ 75%, session tension at 14 minutes.

At 75% tension we were posting over 22cm for the stretched length in the extender, so I was able to convince myself to keep the tension there to make sure we got the duration in. Glans condition at the end of the session was excellent. So I think we’ve sorted this out. We’ll finish the week off here and then up it each week in 2 increments to get to 100% and then switch to maintenance.

5/13/2021

42.5 minutes @ 75%, session tension at 12.5 minutes

Excellent glans condition at end of session, back on a roll!!!

5/14/2021

63 minutes @ 75%, session tension at 12.5 minutes

It was tempting to up the tension but we exerted discipline. We’ll see how it goes next week.

5/16/2021

60 minutes @ 87% session tension at 19 minutes.

It’s probably unrealistic to think I wrap this up in 2 weeks, but that’s the plan.

5/17/2021

47.5 minutes @ 88% session tension at 15 minutes.

Usually the second session of the week presents the biggest challenge but not today, this went surprisingly well. Still looking at the 28th as the hard stop transition to maintenance.

End of June through July business travel will provide me an opportunity to examine the Restorex protocol of 2 daily sessions of 30 minutes of time under tension, so I plan to explore it under the maintenance time frame and at least gain some qualitative insights.

5/18/2021

44 minutes @ 100% session tension at 15 minutes

Okay things are looking up, back on target for the hard stop switch to maintenance on the 28th. I’ll need to get a precise measure.

5/19/2021

5/19/2021

60 minutes @ 100% session tension at 17.5 minutes.

Good glans condition at end of session, so it looks like we are on track to complete this campaign on the 28th. That said based on the fact that the noose change added tension to the system, I imagine that the first 6 weeks of maintenance will retain an active component, but overall the effort will be to maintain the 22+cm max stretched length in the extender during the extended remodeling period, without adding length or tension to the traction device.

I’m inclined to accept the ~ 240 days that it takes for collagen to fully remodel. Or at the very least that 6+ months that the literature posits. So towards the end of the year - early part of next year I’ll do another campaign as much as anything to see if there are further diminishing returns after a full remodeling and only a 4 month campaign next time, just enough to get that answer.

Some talk about goals and limits and my anecdotal experiences whilst adding to the conversation are just too random. This article in which there were 4 cases of neophallus girth which did not allow for penetrative vaginal or anal sex, is about as objective as I have found, in citing the range of 17.6+/-1.3cm as problematic, to the point in which the patients required a revision. What that tells me is that there was an instance on the low end of girth of ~ 6.41" in which penetrative sex becomes problematic. And while an "n" of 4 is low, it gives us a qualitative range of concern.

Look I’m sure that if one started or wound up with such endowment and in a committed relationship accommodations could be achieved, but it strikes me that we’re pushing the margin. And I’m of the opinion that the suggested limit of 5.9" of girth is prudent.

Why that is relevant to me is that while not engaging in any girth work, it has been none the less forth coming and has recently become appreciably challenging on occasion in use.

I think the biggest benefit to all this is health, to maintain/optimize health or to offset any negative impacts. Purely conjecture on my part because I don’t ever see that a longitudinal controlled study of traction or pumping will ever be done. But the vast clinical results here are sufficient for me.

When I think PE I think in terms of penile enhancement, as in the enhancement of penile health, function, size and esthetics. A much broader view than "enlargement" suggests.

42 minutes @ 100% session tension at 15 minutes.

Continued improvement of glans condition at session end.
