Buckfever's progress report/bananaman story.

Some good time today Buck, well done.

Never make a habit of running towards your endurance wall. The collision, when it happens, is always hard and guaranteed to kill your momentum by the nature of it.

Just a thought.

This is 100% valid and I am glad you brought this up. And you have pointed this out before about how there is a point of going over in terms of intensity and volume which results in tugback which I think we have established from the log is good to avoid.

That said there have also been times when a third session and upping the volume periodically has resulted in seemingly accelerating the results and also resulted in a very nice and prolonged flaccid hang. I do not know what that means if anything and I have not been able to make any sense of it in terms of correlation, but it’s something that I’m choosing to just sprinkle in, here and there from time to time.

I appreciate the word of caution though. Lord knows I’ve illustrated that I need it

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

got to max tension @ 8 minutes.

Very surprised by this result so early in the cycle of adding length to the extender. And the glans position in the cradle is pretty close to where it needs to be. I’ll look at the data later and see if there’s anything that stands out but all I can think of is the inconsistency of the holidays has dissipated.

Second session:

68% max tension @ 60 minutes

This progress just seems way too fast. Maybe this is just a continuation of the release of the tissues from the previous round. I really don’t know, it’s curious. This kind of accommodation typically occurs towards the end of a cycle, here I’m a week in?!?!

A suspensory ligament pop would account for that. They aren’t always audible and tactile.

Hmm never even thought of that. That would make sense, seems like a much greater than typical accommodation, all at once. I had heard of it but never considered that it could happen from extending.

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

got to max tension @ ~ 7.5 minutes

Doesn’t appear to have been a fluke. So far so good.

Second session:

68% max tension @ 60 minutes

Another amazing freaking day!!! Thinking I’ll go out tomorrow, so probably take tomorrow off.

I enjoyed reading your progress and story Buckfever! It awesome to see the different stages of PE you’ve went through and all the cool stories in between. I have a pretty vivid imagination so your stories are really entertaining and honest.

I feel pretty inspired and realize that even commenting on these forums means that I shed some of my younger neurotic embarrasments. I was too modest and thought it was taboo to even discuss this on a forum when I was younger. Now I just appreciate all the knowledge and wisdom that you, LE, thoughtfulgold, and many other veterans here provide for free. It’s actually inspiring!

Keep up the hard work brother!

Thank you for the kind words although I still feel like a novice regarding PE. I think it’s a great venue regarding the shedding of neurotic embarrassments and I think that’s a normal process of progressing in life of developing ourselves. Much of it is shedding the crap that’s holding us back.

Good for you that you’re advancing yourself!!!

100% max tension @ 61 minutes

got to max tension @ 7.5 minutes, glans in forward position in cradle at end of session.

Clearly this is a aberration in progress and this accommodation occurred much more quickly than what has been experienced subsequent to the newbie gains, so I’m inclined to accept thoughtfulgold’s explanation. I added a minute to the duration because the onset of fatigue occurred late in the session. I will probably add length to the extender earlier but maybe at 2 months rather than 3.

While I have a propensity to being overzealous, I have heard thoughtfulgold state “I’m playing the long game” so many times and analyzing all the data where there is success, I’m quite convinced that this is the correct posture. And while I don’t agree with the consensus on all things, some things are rather indisputable.

Taking the day off on a known date night, IMO is the way to go in terms of EQ. And I think it’s useful for the positive feedback loop in terms of performance.

Maybe a second session later if I can fit it in.

Hope you’re all having the most amazing freaking day of your entire life!!!

Added 1/8” to extender.

Ok I’m a liar. I said I would wait but I swear that I’m not being overzealous. I ran into a problem in that there was not enough extender length for there to be enough tension in the system at the onset which actually gave me 2 problems.

1. I was having problems retracting the foreskin adequately to get the noose right behind the corona without grabbing foreskin.

2. I was not able to do much of a stress relaxation protocol to max tension as there is too much slack in the system.

Now maybe there would be results none the less, but my inclination is to stick with what has been working until it doesn’t work anymore.

I did log some time today although I discontinued the session and did not record it once I decided that I needed to add length.

Hope to get back on it tomorrow and we’ll see how it goes, definitely some kind of aberrant accommodation occurred here.

Always exciting and sometimes our gut instincts overtake the plan.

I say go with the gut.

I’ll have a real good idea tomorrow. I can always step back.
