The Aggregation of Marginal Gains

Feel better… life happens…so don’t beat yourself up about it.

It’s been awhile since I last posted but I’m back in the extender routine. Things had been going relatively smoothly until autumn last year. I’d reached an extender length of 18cm (7.1”) and was gearing up for the next increase but I hit a period of illness and injuries (not PE related) that set me back. I’ve since taken some time off before picking up the extender again in February.

I felt like my wiener had lost some of its stretching when I restarted so rather than go back in where I left it, I reset at an extender length of 16cm (6.3”) and have been working my way back to 18cm which I’m now recommencing. The next extender inchstone to aim for is 19cm (7.5”). I’ll be delighted if I can manage it by November.

Keep up the good work, merry men.

I’ve been extending at 18cm (7.1”) for the last three and a half weeks and feel like I’m ready to add some more length. Next up extender length of 18.3cm (7.2”).

Hopefully things go as smoothly as they have done at 18cm. However, I do still wonder if I’m just getting a longer stretched flaccid with little discernible effect on my erect length. My stretched length is about 2cm (0.8”) longer than my erect length so probably not outside the bounds of normality yet although I often see 1.3cm (0.5”) is quite common from others’ threads. If my offset reaches 3cm (1.2”) then I’ll have to figure out what’s up. Does anyone know the Thunders record for biggest offset between BPFSL and BPEL?

I’m working through my programme with an extender length of 18.3cm (7.2”) and it’s going ok so far. However, I’m finding that extending at this length my unit is very stretched out like a noodle which increases the chance of some slippage through the noose without a good head swell to the glans.

To counter this, for the last couple of weeks, I’ve been doing a short air pump session before strapping into the extender, no more than 5 minutes in the cylinder, and pumping up to around my BPEL 16cm (6.3”). I normally strap into the extender for four sessions a day so it means doing a 5 minute pump four times a day too.

It’s worked brilliantly for the extender giving me a much thicker but still stretchy shaft and a bulbous glans that can’t slip through the noose. The pre-pumping has come with one downside though. It seems to be stretching the shaft skin a lot and giving me quite a lot of excess skin when I’m flaccid. To any pump pros out there who might happen across this, is excess skin an inevitable consequence of pumping or is it more likely my method and/or tools are causing it?

Read whole thing. This is great protocol! I probably should follow similar when I was doing my extender days. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Crikey, nearly a year since my last post. I fell off the extender wagon for awhile and had a few false starts but I’ve been extending regularly again since 16 February 2024. When I restarted I found I couldn’t comfortably stretch as far as I had when I was last extending seriously - extender length of 18.3cm (7.2”) at my peak. I therefore effectively restarted at an extender length of 15cm (5.9”) to ease back into it. I can’t get as many sessions in as I used to what with other work and life commitments but I’ve been routinely doing 1-2 sessions a day during my comeback.

I’m now extending again at 17cm (6.7”). Progress has been slow and steady, just how I like it, and I’m hopeful I should be able to get back to my record extender length of 7.2” over the coming months and then push on.

My routine now always begins with 5 minutes in the pump before extending in order to boost the size of my glans, otherwise it can slip through the extender noose when I’m stretching my wang. It also helps thicken the shaft so it doesn’t look like a noodle while I’m extending.

I hadn’t been taking any erect length measurements, I assumed I wouldn’t see any real length gains until I’m extending at 7.2” again but the other day I found myself with a reasonably hard johnson in hand when I spied a ruler nearby and thought “why not?” I was pleasantly surprised to measure in at an erect length of 16.25cm (6.4”). A new high. At least whilst I’ve been in my 40s. I feel like I recall seeing 16.5cm (6.5”) in my early 20s but that was too long ago to remember for sure and I don’t know if I would have used an accurate method of measurement back then.

What was doubly pleasing about the recent measurement was that I don’t feel like I was at 100% hardness - maybe 80-90% - and I didn’t go too hard on the bone pressing so it’s possible I do have the capability to hit 6.5” now with a fair wind and the grace of God. I’ll keep a lookout and try to get another measurement next time I have a serious boner.

I’ve cruised through extending at 17cm (6.7”). Next up 17.3cm (6.8”). Hopefully it’ll be just as straightforward.
