Welcome back, brother. Sorry to hear about your frustration. But let's dwelve into the issues at hand.
Hi everyone, back in December of 2024 I started using the traction device, Best Extender Pro.
First off, it's a good extender to have. However, there's a path to take using that extender, and the extender lacks the support on many fronts like 99% of the extenders out there. It's not about shoving the extender on after reading some blurb for the product and it magically works. There are so many anatomical needs in the routine before wearing any extenders that the false promises will bury you in false hopes. We are here to demystify the nonsense and tackle the reality behind PE with an extender.
The reason why I stated that the extender is good is because it has a marking of somekind to measure progressiveness. Traction load and length tensioning is great as markers, but the tension may be false. Pull out a
scale to measure the product's initial spring tension and again every other month. Springs will yield to compression under tension over time. Then compression and traction load measurement no longer hold their accuracy. With that in mind, let's move on.
I've been using it consistently since, usually 4 or 5 days per week, with probably 5 weeks or so of not stretching at all.
So, yu have a good stretching regiment for a wee while, and you stopped for 5 weeks. This is bad breaking period, or the brothers here called it "decon". Decon or break period reset your gains very quickly as the body fights back to reset itself back to the original state unless you keep things elongated for a prolong period of time.
Each stretching session lasts about 2 hours, but recently I have been experimenting with 3+ hour sessions. Every now and then I'll only stretch for 1 hr or 1.5 hrs. I usually do the first 5 minutes at 3 kg of tension, then move it up to 4kg and will even go as high as 5 or 6 kg for 15 minutes or so. Occasionally I'll take a break by releasing the tension, releasing the vacuum and just letting my penis relax - this is to help avoid blisters.
This is where the failure occurs. I'll explain in detail so you can understand the dynamic approach to PE using an extender. The closest comparison to soft tissue expansion with similar growth patters without supporting muscle tissues is the female breasts. Soft tissues all around, with nerve and blood vessels all over the place, and the only supportive system is the ligamentary mesh above the chest and the underlaying pectoral muscle tissues.
Think of the extender as fluid pouches inserted inside the breasts. For young females, the breast pouches don't get filled from size A to size C in one go. No. It's slowly inflated little by little until the skin layers, fat tissues, nerves and blood vessels get a chance to expand and extend through healing processes. It's not just an hour to 5 hours a day. It's as long as 24 hours a day, for as long as the tissues can comfortably and safety expand.
In your case, what you're doing is shoving a size D fluid cups into a size A pair of breasts, brute forcing the breasts to grow, and then just stop. The body detects anomally that goes out of its original DNA programming and it attempts to reset back to its original size to the best that it can. You probably sustain some gains, but the gains are very miminal, similar to a having a size D breast fluid sacs for a few months, then stopped. You get saggy skin but not a breast size gain. In this case, permanent penile gains.
The extender requires to wear long hours, where the initial 4 hours should be a dynamic set of traction loads, like yours going from 1.2kg to warm up, then 2kg to prep the tissues, then 3kg for maxing out the tension, follows by 5 to 6kg for upper stress tensions, and back down to 1.12kg for continual low level traction to promote growth throughout the day. 600g is the minimal requirement to keep the growth going after the initial cellular stressor point. 1.1kg to 1.2kg is considered an optimal all day range.
Point is, I'm doing high tension consistently for 2+hrs and yet despite having done this for ~9 months now I have not really had much gains if any. There have been 3 occasions where i measure and I actually have an additional quarter of an inch, but each time is when I'm enhanced by sildenafil, and the gains aren't maintained the day after.
This is where the flaw also crept in. Not sure where you get the informtion from about high tension for 2+ hours will be better. The cell structures only require 1kg to start breaking the cell walls. High tensions constantly causes the body to trigger preservation state, we call it "turtling". This is where the penile shaft shrinks and compresses upon itself to prevent loss of too much resources for repairs. When this state occurs, cells cannot repair and divide properly to fill in the gaps to promote growth. You are stepping forward 1 step in PE during the extender usage time, but step 2 steps back during recovery. It destroyed your optimal gains. No matter what kind of drugs you use to stimulate your blood flow to see your gains, your gains are merely temporary through stress period, and the body forces itself to reset constantly after a long break.
I'm starting to lose faith that this stuff even works and starting to suspect it's just a money making scheme, especially since I keep having to buy replacement parts for the extender. I've had to buy more silicone sleaves a few times, and the pump that came with the extender that's used to put the cup on the head also just broke, so there's another $20 which feels really shitty having to buy given I still haven't had noticeable and consistent gains in 9 months of stretching.
Starting to think I just need to satisfy myself with the 7.25" god gave me and stop wasting insane amounts of time wearing this thing, let alone the money.
Could I be doing something wrong? Is this all just an elaborate scam to profit on men's insecurities?
PE is not a scam, but it's a body modification fact which goes far back past 3,000 years. There are tons of products out there, and most of the products are indeed scams, but you do find good products among the scams. What you have is perfectly fine. The way that you used it is incorrect. The instruction provided by the manufacturer lacks details, and the support of the product as a whole is a sham. This brotherhood exists for the purpose of helping brothers like yourself. The question is, are you willing to progress the next phase of PE with proper routines and exercises? You can stay at where you are with the God-given length and girth, and be happy. Some brothers that developed penile injuries and issues would tell you to be happy here and now, and stay there for the rest of your life. However, we can tell you that aging will reduce your total length and girth soon enough. There are many medical publication facts to provide this info.
Your question back to all of us is, "So what's the real catch?" We can tell you, nothing but more time and discipline. Here's the method of approach.
Initial point of the routine:
- You must break down the tissues laterally (around the penis) and longitudinally (along the length of the penis). This is what we called "bundled" or "bundling" during manual stretches in the SRT (the word is a link now), or using mechanical assist device like the Length Master (LM3). Unless you have strong hands that can move around your legs and able t pull your penis behind and between the butt cheeks without cramping up, you definitely need somekind of fulcrum mechanical assisting device.
- You must stress the suspensory ligaments that hold your penis in place. The two ligaments that hold the penis in place to allow it pointing straight up towards your belly can be stressed so the "inner penis" segment can be released for you to use. It's as long as 1.5in, or as short as 0.5in. Again, the only way to do this is using very strong hands or less effort using a mechanical device.
- You need to stress the base muscle tissues to allow the ligaments attaching to the base muscles and pelvic bone to relax. You are playing tug of war with them to make the body release the penile length trapped deep under your pelvic skin.
Extender routine:
- Use the extender after your manual routine. The manual routine breaks down the tissues faster than when you simply wear your extender. It takes an extender between 2 to 5 hours to stress the tissues enough to prime them for the 4 to 10 hours ahead. By using strong manual stressing stretches, or the mechanical assisted exercises, you can prime your tissues in 20 to 30 minutes rather than wearing the extender for 2 to 5 hours just to prime the tissues.
- Wearing the extender should be at low traction load around 1.12kg for as long as you can to pry the cellular voids or gaps wide open so your body can constantly provide new cells to fill in the gaps. This is growth. The moment you allow the penis to relax, turtle/compress during healing state, you just lost your chance to obtain gains.
- Your penis MUST remain in elongation between 14 to 18 hours a day. If your penis does not remain elongated, your penis will not have the sufficient void space for new cells to promote growths.
That is the summary of your routine you should be using daily. 3 to 4 days on, 1 day off. You can go as long as 6 days on, 1 day off. BUT your penis must remain elongated at all time, at minimal traction tension of 600g.
