Heads up before buying an extender

I'm here to tell you something from my experience.

I used the Fastsize extender for 4 weeks on regular tension (up to 0.5'' above EL) 4-8 hours almost every day. In the mean time I was doing regular stretches and basic jelqing just like before. I'm not going to talk about gains or lack there of.

Even after the first week I noticed my sex drive dropped to ridiculously low levels, I was barely ever thinking about sex, I had difficulties getting turned on, gaining and especially maintaining erections. The only way to do it was to think about something REALLY hot - note that regular ���� didn't work - and that way I was able to maintain an erection for about 3-5mins untill the point I feel some twitches around the testicles. Then a couple of drops of sperm would come out (not spurt out) and my erection would die. Basically I was impotent and unable to ejaculate properly.

At the time I just thought my penis was tired and needed to heal and adapt. But after 4 weeks of absence of sex drive I quit using the extender. Needless to say I had no sex during that time - didn't even masturbate. I actually had to force myself to masturbate and the same thing from the above paragraph would happen. I realised I was practically impotent. I didn't give a shit how big my penis was I just wanted it to work.

After 3 weeks from quitting using the extender I noticed no change and I found what was the caus of all the comotion. The V-thing at the base of the extender had pushed my penis in and damaged the tissue.

After about a week of worrying and lack of sleep, very low self-confidence and will for life I had an idea to fight fire with fire. Every other day I laid down, put the extender on medium tension but placed the whole thing with the penis on my stomach for 2-4hours. Three weeks of that and some hand clamping just above the injured part (that was the only way to make that part "come out" especially pump up the urethra) I saw some significant progress. I could easily get erections but I couldn't edge for too long. My testicles would still start twitching, some sperm would come out, but the difference now was that I could continue "edging" like that for some time before my unit would eventually get tired. I could ejaculate but the sensation wasn't like when healthy and the amount of sperm negligible. So I decided to do two nice 2h sessions with the extender (that was less than a week ago) and I did them, the injured part felt some nice burning sensation and the need to heal.

So I did nothing for a few days untill today. In the mean time I must say I caught myself checking out hot women around me, just like before. In the last few days I was getting really strong night wood, couldn't get out of bed just like that if any people were around. Last night I saw some ���� after two months of lack of net connection and could get nice boners immediately for a couple of times. A few hours ago I tried out masturbating with ���� and it was really successful. I could get a strong erection even from seeing some mediocre photos. I couldn't edge for a long time so I ejaculated, great healthy sensation, proper sperm volume for someone who hasn't ejaculated in days. I hadn't felt that in more than two months now, it's incredible. I just need a week or so edging for longer, like I used to and I'll be ready for girls. Holy crap the nightmare's over!

I think it's safe to say I'm not going to use an extender anymore. It did save my ass as well as it fucked me up though.

If you intend to use an extender controll your penis regularly, from glans to testicles. Not all burning sensation is good for you. Consider this, stay healthy, potent and only then try to make some gains.

i appreciate your input on using an extender, but Im confused on a few points.
First off, what type of extender do you own?
I have a fastize and personally, after an hour or two with the fastsize on, my erections are pretty strong, I think stronger than usual.
What do you mean the v-thing at the base had pushed your penis in?
Are you saying that extending at an upward angle helped your erections and sex drive back to normal?
Lastly, I dont think my sex drive has gone down from using an extender, what do you think contributed to a lack of sex drive?

I have been using the FastSize for 6 months, 2 hours a day at max intensity, for at least 5 days a week without issue.

Just curious, what do you consider max intensity? And how do you prevent slippage of the noose?

Yeah that’s a good question, I consider my max intensity the max I can extend while keeping it on, with out slippage, also dealing with discomfort. I don’t have time to keep it on for more then 2 hours, so I crank it as far as I can handle it.

I use the common wrap style that’s been posted, under wrap with a stick ace bandage. I do get slippage from time to time, but I wear it in an upward position, and sit in my recliner which helps. I also crisscross the noose in the slots to get a better hold.

Yeah I've also discovered the crisscross noose method, definitely holds your penis in place

How do you do this?

Instead of putting the ends of silicone in the holders right below the holes that the noose is looped through, you put the left end into the right holder and the left end into the right holder. Not sure if that makes sense, its kinda hard to explain, but the ends make an X instead of a | | when you put them in the holders.
It helps prevent the noose from sliding through the holders and becoming loose.

Clever!

I'm not saying extenders are a bad thing nor that you shouldn't use it, I just feel "obligated" to share my experience with the community. So if somebody ever has a problem like me, he can read this and do something.

After three weeks of not using the extender and nothing being healed noticably I started stretching the penis upwards. After a few days I saw major progress, then stopped stretching upwards for a few days. In that time nothing changed and then I stretched upwards for a few days after that. More progress after that so yeah, I'd attribute the healing to the upward stretching.

The V-thing... you know the white plastic base? Well the bottom part is V-shaped, for the urethra. That thing pushed my tissue in, which I stretched afterwards by pointing my unit upwards.

No slippage: How I used to put the thing on. First went the base with the springs, no additional bars. Then I took some t-shirt fabric about 3cm wide, pulled the skin back since I'm uncut. Then I wrapped the fabric so that one half of the 3cm covered my glans and the other half the shaft (with skin pulled back). Then I just squeezed the blood out of the glans and tightened the noose just below the glans. I didn't even have to tighten much. After that I placed the whole plastic with the noose on the spring bars and added bars one by one. No slippage, ever.

Yea it always is a good thing to see guys posting their own experiences with devices in our community. The good AND the bad. Keeps things honest. Some problems come from poor technique or not fully understanding how to use a given device. Sometimes, it's just a poorly designed device. Thanks for sharing.

I think results will vary for everyone pending on how they use it, but I honestly don't believe you need to nor should people where any constricting or restrictive devices for such long durations. More short durations outdo a few long durations any day as far as I'm concerned.
