I haven't been a regular member here for years. I went over to Th*nd3rs Pl@ce 9 years ago. I come over here every year because I like this place for its' open-free-speech allowance. What I'm about to say would get me BANNED at Th*nd3rs within 15 minutes of posting it, if not 30-seconds after clicking on the Submit Reply button.
So, bear with me on my thoughts on what Im about to say and what I think may be happening here at mos
This guy., DLD, claimed to invent numerous PE devices, but he only really invented one device, the
Power Assist, which later was modified into the
Lengthmaster, which I love. I painted mine Red and Silver and posted it here in my Routine and Progression Log, but that seems to be all gone now.
I don't know the history of DLD very well, other than he isn't well-revered at Th*nd3rs. There is and always will be controversy about his claim of the phenomenal 5 inches of penis growth within a year's time with only manual exercises. He doesn't have any picture proof of his claims anywhere to be found. The Salon article made claim they did a physical measurement, but it's really only hearsay because there isn't real evidence to back up his claim. The only images available flowing around the internet is one of him measuring himself and that is unreliable because the ruler is taped together.
The other is the same, him measuring himself, but this time it's with a metal ruler. Seemed more reliable, right, but it's not. The reason it is unreliable is the shadow of his thumb and ruler. They are not consistent with each other. The shadow on the thumb and arm are blurred and the ruler is sharp.
To proof my argument, here is a picture with both of the same setup with two different light sources, camera flash and sunlight.
Come to your own conclusion.
I don't know much about what happen with DLD this pass year, other than he had a couple deaths in his close friend circle back in july.
The more I think about this place and its' recent deterioration. This place reminds me of those cons, where you go to a store, give 1000's of dollars for services, or products for whatever it may be, new roof, central-air system, but no one ever shows up to deliver what they promised for your money. So, you call the place to ask about it and why it hasn't been done as promised. You never get the chance to inquire because they never answer the phone. So, you decide to go back to the store where you paid for the services, products, or what-not, only to find the once vibrant store full of customers is an empty storefront building now. The con-artists are long gone to move on to a different location to do it all over again.
The reason I'm thinking this is because of his post on Twitter today, saying he would like to thank all of his MOS BROTHERS. It seemed he forgot to tell his brotherhood where it all started, here at the MOS forum. Isn't that a big insult slap in the faces of his forum members

The other post was on january 3rd saying, "In a world of fakes and copycats, be yourself", at the bottom of the image above.
This drew my attention when I read a comment from one of his Twitter followers or not-follower.
DLD says he invented many PE-devices that he sells, but he didn't. Maybe he contributed to a modification to better the product, but he didn't invent them, only the
Power Assist which later was upgraded to
Lengthmaster as I established already. The one prime example is the
MityVac water penis pump, it's an automotive tool to bleed the air out of hydraulic brake lines. It was borrowed, re-purposed for PE. As Sydney Lloyd said on his post at Twitter's MoS Network ,
MityVac is a brand name founded in 1971, if that was true, he founded the company when he was 4 years old.
The same goes for all his Sili-products, he didn't invent them. He resells them, which is fine, he didn't invent silcone sleeves, he just put a brand name on them Sili-
sleeve. Which, by the way is ironic, Sili, as in its S-I-L-L-Y for you to believe he invented them, He only made them from a form, which anyone of us can do with a form and the right kind of silicone that's available. The Silistretcher device, you can purchase that device for alot less than he sold them for. Also, they make them for nipple enlargement, wish I could find the site that sells them direct, which tells me DLD didn't create them, he only modified them to minimized getting blisters. Actually, Lightning was the deal guy who found products to sell and the innovator the modification on all the prodcuts. If some idea for a product to sell, DLD would just post a comment
@Lightning and he would somehow find the product for them to sell. DLD was the negoiating in the business, Lightning was the business, and now he is gone.
Here's you can see the Silistrether sells for an eighth of what the MOS shop sells them for. Its has a $20 flat rate for shipping.

Now, the one thing that initially drew me in to MattersofSize and to trust it was he put a face to his name, DoubleLongDaddy aka DLD. All the others PE gurus to this day still don't show their faces, except for Ben aka StillWantMore at Malehanger. I have to give credit to DLD, he was a great innovator with manual stretching exercises. The problem with that is, you can't make a whole lot money on exercises, you can't charge someone for doing an exercise. So, he created a paid membership to sell his 5-phase PE exercise program and DVDs of that program. His
power assist was limited on creating enough revenue for him, along with his DVD 5-phase PE exercise program. Once DVDs and his
Power Assist became antiquated he needed a better source to generate income to keep his business and forum afloat. So his alternative to generate enough cash flow was to sell other companies' PE products.
Another credit I have to give DLD is, all his products were guaranteed for free replacement when they broke, no questions asked.
The reason I left here was I used to watch his Youtube channel, but one day i was watching him explaining a exercise. He was wearing shorts, sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. He moved on the couch, uncrossed his legs and this huge prosthetic penis was exposed and it caught my attention. I couldn't believe it, so I capture the video and played it back, frame by frame. Sure enough, it was fake, wish I still had that video to show you guys. I couldnt believe he did that, trying to fool his viewers to think he had a 10 or 11 inch penis. From that day forward, I viewed him as a fraud, claiming he gained 5 inches of penis through manual exercises. It wasn't ture in my mind anymore, he debuked it... himself.
Members would ask for picture proof of his claims and he blame Jen, his girlfriend at the time. He couldnt because Jen didn't want him to put pictures of his penis on the internet. Well, Jen left his ass and he blamed her again for leaving him because he was too devoted to PE and didn't have time for her. His excuse finally left him, so, he couldn't use Jen anymore as an escape-goat to providing proof of his claims. After that, he blamed God, he claimed he was devoted to God and didn't want to put his penis out on internet it would offend God. After that, he would refuse to show proof and tell members to read the
Salon article back in 2005 for proof. They took a physical measurement of it and that is your proof. As I said before, that is only heresay, who really knows if that was actually true or fabicated to sell magazines. There is one thing I have learned in life, people lie, give half-truths to decieve you into believing them in order to get something from you. I believe DLD did that to sell his information and products as a testimony to his claims. But no one else I know of had ever gained, 4-5 inches of penis, except DLD.
The man had done very well for himself, with his fake claims and fake penis, but it seem it all caught up to him eventually. Now the store-front is empty now, the con-man is long gone, never to be seen here again. He had moved on to a different location (social-media) to find naive guys to run his con game on somewhere else.
I know PE is actually real and does work, but you don't need to over-sell it with unreasonable claims of gains of 5 inches in one year through manual exercise only without actual picture proof.
An interesting read on Michael Salvini and the PE community is the following from R3dd1t.
