Buckfever's progress report/bananaman story.

4/26/2019

Low tension @ 60 minutes

Glans finishing position, well forward in the cradle. That’s a wrap on the day. Just need to monitor glans recovery given in the increase in volume.

4/27/2019

91% @ 30 minutes
Changed back to stiffer noose
Followed by
34% @ 7.5 minutes
Followed by
Low tension @ 23.5 minutes

A little bit of a hiccup this morning. First I probably should not have gone to 91% tension yet although it was going ok, but a few days ago I received new nooses that are a little bit softer and I stayed with these and at 91% I noticed a little slippage of the noose in the cradle. Anyway I went back to the stiffer noose and tried to go again but the slippage had irritated the glans tissue so I had to cut it short. So I reset again and stayed at low tension to clock some time..

Pretty much confirms that the cradle holes have expanded and this one needs to be used with the thicker stiffer nooses to work well.

We’ll go again in the evening.

Second session:

Low tension @ 63.5 minutes

Glans tissue sore at attachment, kept the tension low, got the hour in and that’s it for the day.

4/28/2019

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

Kind of pushing it, but the attachment looked solid and I decided to go for it. Finished pretty well forward in the cradle, so I think we’ve got things lined up now. In addition to the time constraints, I do think I was languishing with equipment shortfalls, now resolved.

This “unlock the code” moniker actually has a lot of merit and needs to be a constant in the process as deviations easily occur. Really focused on the 5/24 date to correlate with what I’m anticipating will be a 5 day decon.

One more session today for sure, will continue to monitor tissue condition to determine the volume of work.

I need to pull back on my intake, so I’m adjusting the meal plan slightly, just removing one serving of something per day, to tip the balance, get to the next level of cut.

4/28/2019

34% @ 22 minutes

Didn’t feel like continuing so I shut it down. Maybe again later maybe not. Have put in a strong effort lately so probably need to moderate it a little. In any event I do not want this to become a chore.

This is as much a part of the equation as is consistency. Finding solutions that help to keep it fresh and stimulating.

4/28/2019

Low tension @ 60 minutes

Just tucked it in. Good jump start last 5 days.

4/29/2019

56.5 minutes @ 100% max tension

A little discomfort of the tissue at the glans attachment there at the end and didn’t want to push it to irritation. Really was tender to begin with. I averaged over 2 hours a day over the last 8 days and that seems to be over the threshold of what my tissues can take as I’ve found 14 hours/ week to be the upper limit.

I do wonder if I had more consistent time available if the conditioning would improve and allow for a bit more time, but alas that’s not likely to be discovered.

4/30/2019

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

Finished the session in the forward position in the cradle so that’s definite progress. Qualitatively the tension level feels high yet so we still have some time to go, but I am optimistic about hitting our timeline. The recent effort has paid dividends.

5/1/2019

100% max tension @ 61 minutes

Things are going well, I just need to get some second session days, sprinkled throughout the week to consolidate this progress and we’ll be able to hit our target.

5/1/2019

Second session:

Low tension @ 60 minutes

Very good.

Well I made plans for Friday and Saturday. So I think I’m taking both days off from the extender. I have been thinking about this recently and simply from a balance standpoint, henceforth I’m going to take off on known date nights. I think that I should not be taking away from performance, that doing so does not strike the right balance, especially at this point in the journey where we’re playing the long game.

We’ll go hard when there are pockets of opportunity, as we here did recently, but diminishing the quality of intimacy, no I don’t wish to do that, not at all.

These are my sentiments as well Buck.

5/2/2019

100% max tension @ 60.5 minutes

Slight loss of position in cradle, I suspect this is a small expression of tug back.

Steel rod type of erection quality. For me the matter is settled.

Live a little, take the day off, enjoy the fruits of your labor.

The discipline will await your return and perhaps the better for it.
