Stretching

Postby Pau1pau1 » Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:16 pm

Hi has any of you ever entered a stretching or pumping regime to try to gain extra length to counteract the loss of length from surgery .
I’m 6.5 when I use a ved. Let’s say I stretched with a traction device for 6 months and gained .5 then I could afford to loose .5 and still remain my size now.

Pau1pau1,
I didn't lose any length and gained some girth after surgery. I did however, use my VED 6 weeks before surgery.
I'm not a doctor, but stretching and using a VED prior sounds great...it worked for me.

As with any thing you need to be careful as over doing can cause damage and end up causing size loss instead of preventing it. I did not use any of the stretchers for that reason. I did use VED for therapy every day and manual stretching.

There are several ways that have been posted for VED use. This is one from the Documents worth reading section of the General section of this forum https://augustams.com/how-to-use-a-peni ... -exercise/ This is another study on VED use before surgery from the same thread https://file.scirp.org/pdf/ASM_2013012514045982.pdf

As far as stretching I have a User Manual on DVD for my AMS 700 and it has a routine for unkinking tubes. I used this daily when I did not have time to use VED. It used to be on line somewhere but I cannot find it. You might search for it or someone else may have it. I placed my thumb on top where the shaft and glans meet and fingers underneath. Pull straight out in front. Then down, up, right, and left. Just pull out for a couple of seconds and then back. And repeat for up to 10 minutes. Or however long you have on a day with little time.

What this is for is to keep the tissue elastic and with VED use to draw blood into the tissue. This is for preventing size loss. So that should be the goal. Trying to use this to gain or enlarge what you have is where you can cause damage. If you are having size loss from ED this may help recover some recent loss.

As per the article above daily therapy is best and minimum is 3 times a week.

Take care and good luck going forward with this.
