Wax,
>what would the length difference between a 12:00 LOT & a 6:00 LOT really amount to (in terms of ligament stretch)?<
Results so far *hint* at a 1/4" gain per half hour of LOT from lig stretching (from a starting LOT of 9.5 here), of course this will differ from person to person depending on the amount of inner penis they have to express. 2", maybe three at a push in the absolute best instance.
>Also, even at 6:00 LOT, why do guys think that your ligs can't still stretch??? <
Of course they can. But think of it this way, if there is no inner penis to express because of the low exit point, and no gain potential from lig stretching, what is the benefit of lig stretching? Your eretion angle may lower, and your erection would most likely move around more. So say you do this, and you now have looser ligs with no inner penis to express. Lets say .5". Now you decide to work the tunica, and make a .5" gain here. What happens? The tunica stretch is completely accomodated by the longer ligs, your LOT would not change. If you did the tunica work first, your LOT would rise along with the exit point, allowing more gains from lig stretch by expressing inner penis.
>I just think that guys with a high LOT can gain some length very quickly - up to that first 1-1.5"....then the rest is a battle against the tunica. <
Now you're getting it. Remember that future lig gains may be possible after the tunica stretching.
ATS,
>and when you get so many great minds together debating it can only turn up good info .<
Its always good fun to yammer away with DLD. DLD - are we at the point where we start splitting threads and talking about worms?
>OK so we need to work the tunica ...right ?<
Only guys with a low LOT.
Guys,
Let me elaborate on the theory a little, as there is some confusion. I think that some people are trying to knock something they dont understand.
When you kegel, the PC muscle pulls the tunica back into the body slightly. The ligs attach on the TOP of the shaft, right? So naturally, the higher the angle of stretch, the less stress they will take, because the underside of the penis will be taking more stress. Do we all agree so far?
So you kegel, and move the angle of stretch down slightly, kegel again. Because the PC pulls the *TUNICA* back into the body, you will experience a tugback ONLY if the tunica is taking the stress. Right? That just makes sense doesn't it? Still with me?
Now, as you lower the angle of stretch, there may be a point where there is no tugback. Remember, the ligs are on TOP of the shaft, the lower the angle, the more potential stress they will take. There will be a point where they take most of the stress of the stretch. The penis will not tugback because THE LIGS ARE TAKING THE STRESS. You can kegel till you bleed but you wont get a tugback because you are stretching the ligs and the tunica IN FRONT of the attachment point of the ligs (this of course, would not affect tugback).
Remember, with the LOT test you are looking for the angle of stretch where the ligs take the stress. If they do not take the stress right down to 6, they are already long, indidcating the tunica is the limiting factor.
I hope that clears things up a little.
