Handcramp, first off, my apologies if my viewpoint came off sounding dogmatic. I tend to do that sometimes when I feel strongly about something.
I don't think anyone here would argue your point. This is after all the PE Theory forum. Anything posted here is simply that -theory.
We are all here for one reason: to establish, practice, and promote
effective penis enlargement techniques. Anything other than "intellectual honesty and discipline" will not help any of us reach this goal. I am not suggesting we start plugging holes in what we don't know with baseless speculation.
Unfortunately, we do not have the time, resources, or knowledge to conduct our own scientific analysis as to what works and what does not and what is and what is not. That being the case, we have no choice but to rely on the data we can obtain from pertinent studies and from "self-reporting" and to do our best to correctly interpret it. What is pertinent as far as how any studies relate to PE? Well, unfortunately no one is going to tell us, we have to decide that for ourselves. We have to use good "common sense" in making any assumptions, and as to the extent that we are able - test our assumptions.
As far as these studies and self-reporting goes, for now, sadly, these methods are all we have. Studies that might pertain to PE are few and far between. So instead of chucking anything we can't prove shouldn't we closely scrutinize them with an open mind? It's either that or trial and error and I think we've done enough of that.
Am I really going out on a limb in concluding that 3 layers of tissue might be harder to stretch than 1 or 2?
