Yes, its the classic theory, I believe in it. If it is in fact the toughest tissue in the penis then it must be the main limitation to penis enlargement but its not the only one as you said, the two fascia layers for example, altough not as strong as the tunica also contains collagen.

Yes, I've read it, good read! I agree that its a must that smooth muscle is enlarged as well, but I believe it comes second to the thougher tissues. Lets say you manage to stretch the tunica 2" longer in an instant, now your erection will be weak because the smooth muscle cant fill it properly, kinda like a ED as you said. But I think you have to first enlarge the tunica and then you can enlarge the smooth muscle to accomodate the new tunica size, maybe it even enlarges itself automatically to fit the new tunica dimension? Of cource you could think of it the other way around, first try to enlarge the smooth muscle, in turn it will increase the pressure on the tunica and enlarge it. What do you think?

I agree, a tendon like the tunica contains a lot of collagen, they are both designed to be very tough. But you say your not sure the collagenous tissue is the culprit, do you mean gains can come from lengthening the two ischiocavernosus muscles as well as lengthening the collagenous tissue (interesting theory)? I think the tunica is the main culprit here since its probably harder to lenghten than skeletal muscle which mainly consist of muscle fibers.
