I'm updating my chronicle since a minor change occurred. I reverted back to using the standard support piece; the quad support which was more comfortable has become more uncomfortable, for some reason I haven't figured out yet. So for my record, I'm using the standard support with the noose and strap together, 4.5" of extension, 1600G of tension and the padded girth base. My schedule is five days at three sessions at 1hour,20minutes long.

I thought I would update the log and mention that I had an adjustment screw snap off on the right side. The rods etc did not appear to be effected; the other adjustment screw bent so I should replace both. X4 Labs is sending replacement parts this coming Monday so I should be back in the extender soon.

The replacement parts arrived today and I just reassembled the extender with the new parts; I'm especially jazzed about the 2100g springs that were shipped with the parts to repair the extender.

Hello Everyone,
I tried something this morning I meant to do for some while now; I strapped in using the top noose, then added the adjacent strap and added the lower strap. I wanted to checkout what a noose with two straps on the quad support would be like to wear and the process of getting strapped into the extender. I have to say that there isn't really anything significant to mention; its just takes a little longer to strap in is all.

Thought I would add an update ... I'm still wearing the extender with a noose and two straps, 2100g springs and the padded girth base. I added another .5" to the extender yesterday and I'm not feeling any real discomfort. I've decided to make a new goal for myself and it is to wear the extender with every last extension rod that came with the kit, added to the extender before quitting (I have the deluxe model). I have 1.5" of extension rod left to go; I think it will take one more year to achieve this goal (I hope).

Since some stupid spam bot has bumped my posting, I might as well add a relevent update. I've been struggling with assembling the extender under 2100g tension, it is not easy that I can tell you.
Today I decided to pair the loose rods with the third party support piece that I drilled through the ends to enable it to slide up and down the rods. I was able to match up the paired ends and assemble the extender while strapped in, it was so less stressful! I also found, as in the past, that having the bottom of the penis supported is much more comfortable.
I really need to figure out something to take more tension off the glans, it would make wearing the extender more comfortable.
Oh and by the way 1 yr and 323 days under the belt, (I know corny pun). I'm a little disappointed because I was hoping to have added another .5" by now, but I'm averaging one hour sessions so its not really a surprise. I should be able to still add another inch to the extender by next year.

The quad support piece has a longer bed so more of the shaft is supported from underneath the penis (thats what I meant by the bottom of the penis or the ventral side of the penis) adding the other support piece to extend the support of the bottom or ventral side of the penis seems to make the extender more comfortable over the long haul for me.

Today at work I was rummaging through the first aid kit, for something to relieve the discomfort of a some chafing of the skin around the glans. I look at the various cremes and saw some burn cream (it contains benzocaine) and headed off to the restroom to a stall and applied it around the glans. Immediately the discomfort went away; I decided to applied it all over. I went on the internet and searched for a spray with benzocaine and found it was available at most drug stores; there is also lidocaine spray. I wanted something that I could apply before putting on the extender and would not act as a lubricant to cause slippage. I decided on the benzocaine over the lidocaine, because lidocaine penetrates past the skin layer and is absorbed into the blood stream and is metabolized by the liver.
Since I'm stretching at 2100g, I have to strap in really tight. I found the skin down the shaft is stretched and itches, the skin under the straps is not damaged but needs something soothing, the skin around the glans is slightly chafed and gets dry; the spray helps alot before and after stretching.
What is significant is that I stepped up the hours to 3 x 1hr at 2100g and my skin is taking a beating; I really wanted to find something that would soothe the discomfort (benzocaine), help keep the skin moisturized (aloe vera), and an antisceptic; additionally something that wasn't a slippery or sticky cream or gel.

What you said makes perfect sense about the burn creme. I just was wearing it and the last two times it gave me a blister and I couldn't go past 45 minutes. It was dry and itching/burning like you describe. It was a mild burn, how much do you want to bet?

I'ma have to try that myself. Very good information, pfm. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,
It will be two years this July 5, 2011. I've decided to take a six month to a year break and perhaps take up stretching again. I hope during this time to get fit and drop some weight; overall improve my health. Good luck to everyone.

I thought I would add an update to my chronicle; I'm still at it but unable to get in the amount of time I'd like 4-6hrs versus 1-2hrs that I can put in. I consider what I'm doing now as maintenance hours and have no expectation of any significant gains. If I consider the gram/hrs per day argument that was being thrown around about 2 years ago, I'm at 2100-4200g/day versus when I first started it was 2400-3000/day.
I like to change up how I strap in to adjust for comfort and other factors I notice changes over time; I'm using one strap and one noose in tandem now, I'm still only padding the noose. I started using sheets of 1.5 in. thick foam, I cut the sheet into many long "square" (1.5in. x 1.5in. x 8-10in.) strands. I then cut the edges of the square to round the strands to use as padding for the silicon noose/rope; I have a continuous supply of padding now.

Some really crappy things happen as I get older, enlarged prostate is something that is being addressed, I'm taking xxx to help relax the prostate muscle. The Dr. mentioned I may have ejaculation issues and reduced semen with the drug. I've already mentioned to him that at times I've seen almost no semen; when I started taking the xxx oddly enough I'm having alot more semen. The explanation is that the prostate muscle during orgasm clenches too tight causing the semen to reroute to the bladder. The xxx relaxes the muscle and allows the semen to travel the normal path. Since sex is fun again, I started taking maca again; if you don't already know high doses of maca will increase your semen volume by an incredible amount. I'm taking around 7-8g of maca a day (10 capsules), to save money I buy the maca in bulk and have a capsule fill kit.

Well it's been two years and seventy-seven days since I started, I'm at a point where I've decided to stop using the extender. I will probably return to using it at some point in the future if I feel there are gains to be made and the time to devote to stretching. I'm going to concentrate on toning up and getting fit which is a priority for me now. I'll be using a pump primarily now in the evenings since I find I can pump with very short breaks in between. I know I said in the past that the pump is dangerous and it can be, but some new studies have come out supporting gains from pumping and I'm after girth gains now. I'm not leaving the forum, just breaking from the extender.
