Yes, absolutely. I was not accusing you of anything. I know that you know better.
Back in the day, I used to think about extending while sleeping. The idea of it made sense to me at the time, because it would "allow me to effortlessly put in extra hours and reap the rewards." So why not, right?
I had bought the fastsize extender for that reason, but I couldn't get the damn thing to work at the time. By the way, that extender was a piece of crap. I toyed around with it here and there, and eventually buried it in my closet, never to be used again (I use Jes now).
Around that time, I had plateaued from manual stretching, and decided to get into
hanging. At some point, early in my career, I even considered
hanging a very light
weight overnight over the edge of my bed while sleeping on my back. All kinds of crazy thoughts had crossed my mind, because I was very eager to make the greatest possible gains in the least amount of time, especially since
hanging was not going very well for me in the beginning, as far as gains were concerned.
Guys sometimes get desperate and end up contemplating really stupid shit, not knowing any better.
I have read too many horror stories over the years, and have had some horrifying personal experiences as well. One time, I was so preoccupied with another task while
hanging, that I completely forgot I had my
hanger on. I ended up doing a 45 minute set, which is 25 minutes more than the maximum. When I took the
hanger off, it took MINUTES for full sensation to return. It was scary. I also lost sensation a few other times while experimenting with different angles, particularly SO.
You are restricting blood flow when stretching passed the margin, no matter the tension used. If something goes wrong, and you are not conscious to stop it in time, you can suffer permanent damage, complete or partial loss of sensation, impotence, etc. This sort of thing has happened to some guys already, so it is very real.
I cringe when I read about guys doing this stuff. And then you have some other idiots cheering them on, not knowing any better.
The way I see it, it's better to be safe than sorry. What is the point of getting a bigger dick if it is no longer functional?
