Hiya,
I'm offshore at work right now, so I don't have the kinda time I do when I'm home.. I do a 28on/ 28off schedule..so for a month I can spend alot of time doing things I want and then a month I can't... BUT, I am doing some work, I try to do at very least 30 min of manual stretches a day and I had been wearing the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]Phallosan[/words] every night between 10/11pm-5:30am..but my stupid ass increased pressure just a bit to much and pulled up two skin blisters on the head of my dick... so I stopped the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]Phallosan[/words] and have only been doing the manual stretches for the last week. sux.
I took a peice of 3/8" stainless steel tubing and bent it into a "S" hook and use it to do the sharp radius stretches...it works pretty darn well imo... I keep it in my pocket all day and anytime I can slip to the restroom I do ~2-5 minutes of sharp radius stretches.. I know it's not as good as a full routine, but it'll have to do. The little skin blisters have now pretty much healed and I figure tomorrow night I'll go back to the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]phallosan[/words], but with a little less suction.
The hand pump it comes with is really weak so I took some 1/4" poly tubing from my sprinkler system and orally suck the air from the glans cap... I know I know, it's like I'm giving myself a bj in order to get my dick to grow.. hey, if it would work I'd probably give it a shot.... So, that really works well, I get a great pump from it and at very least flaccid hang seems to be more pronounced. The problem is in that it's obviously on the edge of how much pressure my skin can take and if I go just a little too much, I get blisters.
The [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]Phallosan[/words] is kind of a pain in the ass to get on to be perfectly honest. For the cost of the condoms that attach the glans cap to the penis, they are kind of delicate. Not super delicate, but certainly delicate enough to be a pain. When they heat up on your skin and get stretched out after a few weeks of consistent use they seem to get a little more delicate and that is worrisome.
When I have to piss it really sucks because, first I wait until the very last minute to go in order to maximize the time I have the damn thing on...then since I've waited so long, I'm nearly frantic to remove it when I finally get to the toilet. THEN, to put the damn thing back on is more of a pain after you've worn it for a few hours and have a pump going. Your dick is still dribbling piss and you are trying to dry everything off for a good seal and to get the rubber seal over the glans without pinching your glans into some weird shape that it will be in for the next several hours, under vacuum. The head is now engorged of course from the previous time spent under vacuum and now it's got a 3mm rubber/ silicone cap on the glans and you have to fit it all back into this glans cap of hard plastic that keeps the shape. BUT, it has to go through the silicone condom first which is designed to firmly adhere to your shaft so, now that the glans is engorged and is wearing it's "hat", it's a pain in the ass to take the delicate silicon condom and stretch it out wide enough that it will go over everything and not have pinched skin or not be inserted into the glans cap fully...all this stretching is going to eventually make those condoms lose their elasticity, I'm sure of it..how could it not?
But, hell I've already bought the damn thing and even bought spare parts because of the way I work and because I broke the first medium condom... so I'll use what I got for as long as I can make it last.. We'll see.
I've left my measuring equipment back at my house and will measure again when I get home November 15.
Yea, it's a real tattoo. It goes up to a "cut" under my belly button that was supposed to be a little longer to be honest. I wanted to get hip bone to hip bone (like the Japanese Sepuka), but it just looks like a dagger insertion or a little more. It was supposed to be a releasing of a negative sexual energy. Sex has cost me alot of time, money, and heartache. I really need to get it under control and not let it control me. The tattoo was a way to punish myself (and my dick) for letting my dick cost me the life I had built or could have built at that time (2001). Part of me thinks that some of my "issue" around sex is a feeling of not being enough, and though I know logically that most of that is going to be in my head, I can't help but think that if I'll break maybe what 7"?? that I'll be enough dick and by that time enough therapy(yes I am in therapy) to work through the mess and just stop letting sex be that important to me.
But anyhow... Yea, it's a real tattoo and Yea, it hurt like freaking hell. I did lose about 90% of the desire to get tattoos in order to prove that I could take it...Part of me wants to get some full sleeve done when my friends are getting big work done.. but then, I just think back to what's in my pants and take heart that if they EVER said anything that sounded like I am scared of getting a big tattoo...I'd just pull my pants down.

It'll take some getting used to, but I'll do it. Like an dumbass I did that before taking my newest measurements, I plan to measure as soon as I get home and then again when I leave for work. This will show the cycle of intense work while at home and the more moderate levels while at work.
