Bump... I
I just read through the
SRT post, and this found this excerpt:
" Background Theory: As you may have read I was able to lose size and gain size based on my findings so I will try to be as specific and precise on why I did this, what I learned and what it means for penis enlargement. When I started this experiment it was because I wanted to see the damage restriction could have on the penis and size. Over the first 2 months I wore very tight underwear. I wanted to see the effects of this on my penis size plus it was necessary to the experiment. So for 2 months I wore very tight underwear, I did not do any Penis Enlargement and I masturbated very rarely. My penis was not being used and it was spending most of it's time suppressed in my underwear.
At the end of 60 days I had lost size that was permanent for years! My flaccid was pathetically turtled, my erect
length was short and my girth suffered a bit. All from suppression and tight underwear? That was really all I changed and the loss of size came during this period. "
Gains
can be lost !
I therefore find this topic to be among, if not
the most important topic in PE, along with doing PE itself.
( I am guessing that DLD did this experiment after he answered the question in the FAQ's:
43. Are Gains Permanent in Penis Enlargement? )
This raises many important questions, 1,2,3 etc. below:
1): In trying to quantify the impact and importance of suppression on PE and keeping gains:
1a): Just not squishing, or letting hang during the day probably accounts for 50% (would you say?) of making gains in PE alone?
- Taking into account just how much time, effort (and money on equipment, research... reading) is required to gain for example a tiny 1/8th inch, you would be crazy to do PE if you cannot guarantee no tight underwear (at least) whilst doing PE.
And some kind of adaption will have to be made in the future to hold onto the gains.
- Just not wearing tight underwear is as important as the whole PE program itself !!!
1b): Has anyone measured "squished" ? How squished..? (Obviously no logarithmic test of this exists.. yet).
- Is any level of being "squished" (that which will not result in a loss, at the least) acceptable / ok?
2): ..This is where the many different forms of underwear come into play.
Perhaps also prudent to point out that many like to keep their "private" parts private, secured and restricted whilst out in the event that a public boner occurs. It may also be required to keep a job if you work in an office with females who expose themselves a little.
So I think if some form of underwear can allow you to do 2 things they might work:
1: "Hang" naturally, whilst enclosing beneath where the penis hangs on the leg, to prevent your
package being exposed to other peoples eyes, whilst wearing shorts and sitting for example.
2: Be restrictive enough to prevent a boner from getting passed the horizontal visible point.
I would like to hear others opinions on this, and if they have any favorite garments of their own. From what I have seen, some "relaxed" trunks might be ok, but I cannot see any tight enough in the front to prevent an untimely boner from protruding beyond the horizontal. On the other side of the coin, the "Boxer Briefs" seem to offer boner restriction, but maybe too tight to allow for a natural hang.
What do you guys think?
I will have to do some thorough underwear hunting. I currently have fairly loose fitting trunks, they are ok, but I am sure there is better out there.
In terms of underwear, rating best to worst:
1 None (
ideal but perhaps impractical) also good for sperm count.
2 Boxers (
ideal but perhaps impractical) also good for sperm count.
3 Very loose fitting trunks (
boner visibility a problem)
4 Regular trunks
5 Boxer Briefs (
too tight?)
