This would imply that the best method would be to tug hard and fast on the penis, which would provide the greatest amount of sliding. Guys have been doing that on these forums for decades with poor results. The baseline assumption, supported by literature, is that the body has a rapid mechanism to prevent further sliding. This manifests as more cross linking and increased fibril density.I think that sufficiently high heat makes sliding achievable at lower stress. But I think that it is more optimal to achieve permanence through deformation of the fibrils themselves and widening of gaps.
I just read through old threads and thought that “man, that’s medieval shit”. Hard full force manual stretching and hard jelqing. Many reported about 1” gain and then nothing more no matter what. And many report injuries also. Me myself being one of them going that high force route. It’s great to see that knowledge has improved and PE approach developed. I actually intuitively thought that under proper heat slow and suprisingly low force can achieve results IF tissues have not been toughened with high force shit.
