Buckfever's Post Collagen Remodeling Theory Journal

Well EQ was okay, but we prefer optimal. Not entirely sure how to juggle optimizing EQ and optimizing a traction protocol. Hmmm.

61 minutes @ 72%, session tension @ 20 minutes, time under tension 41 minutes.

Based on comments by igigi and kyrpa I was reminded that in the beginning I used a more gradual approach to getting to session tension and so I have decided to revert to that. Anecdotally that seemed to allow to get to a higher tension with less resistance.

I have no solution to the maximizing EQ and also maintaining an adequate traction regimen. In my experience when I would have a date night planned say on a Saturday, in order for things to be working full throttle I needed the last session to be Friday morning. My current work and relationship situation lends itself to multiple hookups a week, coinciding with the days when time permits the most robust traction session. I am unwilling to forgo hookups for the sake of a traction regimen.

But considering what it would take, I would need to limit hookups to twice a week on scheduled days and go to 2 rest days per week on the traction.

I don’t know this coordination of traction and hookups while it would work, at least right now seems a bit obtuse.

It isn’t that things aren’t okay as is, but throbbing EQ is the preference.

60 minutes @ 66%, session tension @ 25 minutes

Was a little distracted today. Still posting 22cm stretched length in the extender.

EQ is greatly enhanced when no traction is applied on a day that there is intimacy. It’s almost like there is a second level of arousal that is available. I would speculate that it is sleep rather than time that leads to the enhanced EQ but I have not tested that.

34 minutes @ 36%, session tension 14 minutes in.

Morning wood/sensitivity issues.

P.M.

60 minutes @ 36%, session tension at 12.5 minutes.

60 minutes at 48%, session tension 15 minutes in.

60 minutes @ 72%, session tension @ 15 minutes.

1/28/2021

39.5 minutes @ 75%, session tension @ 13 minutes.

Tension was too high at end of session. This is anecdotal but it seems to me that the goal should be that the tension lets up by the end of the session, indicating an accommodation.

37 minutes at 66%

I noticed a small amount of fluid near the attachment on the glans, clearly a small blister formation - a residual effect from too much tension yesterday,
so I discontinued the session. I’ll pick this back up on Sunday.

Based on the recent sessions it is clear that 50% is handled with ease while 75% is too much tension for the glans to handle so I think we’ll split the difference for some time until there is accommodation so that tension qualitatively feels light.

Since I’ve changed the attachment process so that I reset the attachment at 5 minutes, bringing the glans further forward in the cradle, the preload is substantially increased and so the tension increases are more exponential, towards the end of the range. I don’t want to give up this process as the attachment is more robust but the tension increases require greater precision. And I have not worked that out.

We’ll see how it goes from here starting Sunday. I need to figure how long to stay at a particular tension AND how much of a bump up in tension can take place at each increment.

60 minutes at 66%, session tension at 12.5 minutes.

So with the day off the glans condition recovered to handle the 66% tension. The variables are session tension, the rate of ramp up to session tension and the volume of training. At this point I’m going to keep the tension and rate fixed and see how the glans holds up from regular sessions at that tension. I’ll know this week if 66% is too much and will adjust down if necessary.

Otherwise I’m going to hold the tension at these levels until there is accommodation. It’s just not clear to me how much time I should give it which strikes me as rather fucked up, that I don’t have that ironed out, but clearly I have not exerted discipline on the variables.

Maybe 10 days, maybe 30 days? Thinking about what we know about short term tissue healing and adaptation.

At the end of the day, this theory gets proven or disproven depending on whether I can effect an accommodation so that we get to 100% max tension at this extender length. 11% a month for 3 months I don’t know but it seems like we should be able to make that happen.

Going back to the EQ once again I tested having the last traction session on Friday morning to allow recover for Saturday night delight and once again, we experienced throbbing EQ. So that’s a good protocol for known intimacy.

Also personally I’ve come to be convinced that traction therapy is outstanding preventative maintenance for the effects of ageing. I think similar to stretching your body to overcome the effects of sitting at a computer, I think it’s good for penis health. Could be that VED is just as good in that regard, I’ve just never tried it.

Okay we’ll see how this week goes.

30 minutes @ 66%

Pressed for time.

2/2/2021

37.5 minutes @ 66%, session tension 12.5 minutes in.

Tension seems less by end of session, finishing session further forward in the cradle and glans condition at end of session is decent. Seems like the right amount of tension.

2/3/2021

60 minutes @ 72%, session tension 13 minutes in.

Plan was to stay at 66% for a while but the final backing out of the screws at 13 minutes provided much less resistance than usual so upped it just a bit. Maybe stay here a couple weeks maybe a month we’ll see.

Given that we did post a 1cm increase, I’m committed to this for another three months and then we’ll take another measure and decide from there.

I do want to run another experiment where shorter multiple daily session are employed but that might come later or maybe as a maintenance effort.

2/4/2021

30 minutes tension between 54-72%, I got distracted and forgot the reset at 5 minutes so the whole thing was a mess, but we got something in.

One thing though at 15 minutes in when I realized I had forgot the reset I backed down the screws and boy was the extender loose. That’s some real accommodation! An unexpected qualitative data point.

2/5/2021

72% @ 60 minutes, session tension 12.5 minutes in.

After yesterdays fiasco, I payed attention today and reset at 5 minutes and added 24% tension at the 7.5, 10 and 12.5 minute mark. Very robust session, probably right on the edge of what can be tolerated. Now we have a rest till Sunday morning so we’ll see how things hold up then.

Lately I’ve been really busy with work so I’ve just been doing hookups mostly on Saturday nights so I do the last session Friday morning for full recovery and optimal EQ by Saturday evening. But I’ve not been satisfied with the once a week thing, I’ve got some ideas about how to deal with this, but one of the ideas is to structure work for a Tuesday night encounter. How that is relevant to PE is that I would skip the Tuesday morning session to optimize EQ.

This means just 5 sessions of PE/week on a single daily schedule and I wonder how this will go. It does bother me that I’m introducing this in the middle of an experiment but I really think that PE needs to be worked around intimacy.

But then that’s my personal overarching view that one should find the means to tuck it in and not have designated PE time BECAUSE then it becomes sustainable.
