Buckfever's progress report/bananaman story.

“That thing damned near killed me last night.” She said to me this morning with an undertone of delight. We embrace and I say, just trying to a good job.

But I thought about it over the course of the day and I realize that as part of this process things have changed in the bedroom for me. I can’t say that it’s confidence because I don’t have an issue there. It’s something else and I told her this evening that I don’t want this to sound wrong but I’ve just become more interested in taking care of her in the bedroom. She asked: “Haven’t you always?” I said no, not really, I viewed it more as 50/50, now it’s different, I feel I’m taking over.

Acknowledging the different posture in the bedroom she said “It looks like you got a new hobby”.

Hard to put it into words. I’m just stepping into it, handling it.

So this cycle has been very inconsistent as I’ve had lots of company and very limited alone time. However yesterday I was able to comfortably increase the tension to the next level and stay in the extender for 40 minutes and likewise today for 45 minutes.

So progress continues albeit slowly. My theory on this is that I am still experiencing newbie gains associated with regaining previous dimensions. And the reason for this is that I am simply not doing that much volume that would lead me to plateau yet.

Also as far as goals it’s interesting how we evolve. I had a specific goal initially and that remains as a short term goal. Yet I found myself recently with the spontaneous thought that it would be intriguing to work it so as to add another inch to the extender and see how that translates. In that thought I considered that it might take a year’s commitment and interestingly that was not of concern.

Progress encourages progress and we evolve.

good work right there. im also focusing on high tension sets with heating pad, it helps staying on the extender more time and it should help with gains.

40min-1hour sets on high tension is probably enough to reach gains.

Hmmm what kind of heating pad?

Livivo eletric heating pad.

Feels like an invasion of privacy LOL. Amazing to me how little of my time is my own. Even so I’ve had a couple of good sessions in the past week and then just get in the bare minimum on the other days to keep things stable.

A month out I’m traveling and with work it’ll be a 3 week forced decon. So I’m really looking at this period here as consolidation/cementing.

But even though the lack of time is frustrating I can see from the tissue response when I do get a little consistent time that more progress is forthcoming. So we haven’t hit a wall yet. Just need to be patient till I can find the time.

10/11/2017 Update

So my time has been very limited for PE. Both work and a lack of privacy caused me to average only 27 minutes a day and in the last 9 days only one of those sessions was high tension. The result is that I was not able to get to the previous level of tension today.

For me being new to this, this is very relevant information as it is clear that 30 minutes a day in the extender will not be sufficient to cement. I went back to my log and noticed that the periods in which I did make progress I was on high tension for 6-7 weeks at a time and averaging 1:15 per day. So this gives me some parameters. I highly recommend keeping a log.

And I remain baffled that I am not able to consistently find that seemingly small amount of private time on a consistent basis. So I do appreciate that some choose to reveal this endeavor so that privacy is not a barrier. My issue is that I enjoy having this as my own. We’ll just carry on best we can and when I have periods of private time as I do periodically I will make the focused effort then.

Requires a lot of patience and discipline. This progress proceeds slowly to begin with and is almost excruciatingly prolonged by inconsistency.

10/26/2017 Update

So privacy has been lacking during this last cycle as has the length of time for sessions. So I made a small switch where I increased the rate at which the tension was applied so that I would get to the max tension for the session faster and thus be able to log longer times under tension with the shorter sessions. This seemed to turn out better and in the last 11 days I had a little more time and was able to get pretty much to the Max tension for the increased length in the extender for 4/5 last days.

This took 8 weeks. At this point I need to keep the Max tension and increase the time under tension which would take about 10 days and then I need another 10 days to consolidate before adding another 1/4” bar.

It is just unlikely that I will be able to be consistent enough to get it done that quickly. So realistically this last 1/4” looks like it’s going to take 3 months.

Considering that the newbie gains are largely over and the returns will be diminishing, another 1” on the extender will take way over a year.

And with that we’ve hit the inflection point.

On the feedback side I actually got the question “Have you been doing something to your dick?”

I explained it away that we hadn’t hooked up in a while - which was true, but clearly deceptive. Thing is that I don’t have an issue with it as I think we have a duty to ourselves to carve out appropriate emotional boundaries and maintain them.

So little of my life is my own, but this is something that I do for myself and it’s constructive and I want to keep as my own.

I’m in the same boat. I’m obsessed with pleasing her. And guess what that lead to lots of sex!

Just a quick update, today I was able to get to the absolute max tension on the extender at the new length. During yesterdays session I was feeling that relaxation of the tissues. A little more time and consistency is paying off.

11/6/2017 update

In the last 11 days I’ve only been able able to get 5 session in, however I was able to get to the Max tension at the new length for each of those sessions so I haven’t lost any ground. My schedule is going to remain challenging for the next week and a half or so, so I’m going to wait on adding length till I’ve really consolidated this progress.

On the feedback side, comments like “why did it get so big” and “damned near killed me” remain and the feedback is great positive reinforcement.

That said there’s another aspect to this. The additional length, being able to get into the deeper tighter tissues causes you to cum like a fucking stallion. And that is some serious positive reinforcement in terms making the effort from a healthy function standpoint.

I’ve read about some of you guys going commando and I like to with sweats, but the on balance the even very slight increase in volume when flaccid, I don’t quite know what to do with my junk, kind of gets in the way now. Crossing my legs when seated? Ha. Behavior modification is in order.

Once you start going commando, you’ll get used to it and figure it out. Stay the course.

Haven’t had much time to put in, however I did have occasion to observe EQ recently and I have to say that I was amazed by the size. I didn’t have anything to measure with so I used the belly button as a reference and I’m close. Can’t know for sure but anecdotally it looked like I was within a half inch of where I was when I was younger and I’m pretty sure I’m thicker now with age. So still a bit more to go on restoring length.

It was however my first WOW moment in this process. So I think that provides real some appreciation for how what might start out as one premise can change. It not only provides motivation, it makes it difficult to not continue.

Hopefully soon we’ll find more time.

11/14/2017 update

Missed 9 out of the last 17 days. Still able to get to the max tension, but the duration of the sessions falls off when I take 3 days off. More consolidation at this extender length is needed. Things progress gradually yet consistently when I’m consistent and that seems to be the biggest take away from this. Within the sweet spot, consistency is the biggest factor to progress.

I have noted that others too make their progress seasonally and I think this will likely apply to me as well. Likely the last 10 weeks of the year will always be a challenging time, to make time.

Left arm of the extender stripped. Ordered a new one, exact same one. Don’t want to change anything and now I’ll have extra parts for future repairs.
