I noticed today, it's not gone, but it's not really a problem anymore.

My guitar string is definitely a vein/artery, but that obviously doesn't mean yours is. I will only say that you'd be surprised: veins in the penis can be very hard.

Maybe it's something else; as long as it doesn't bother you anymore.

Adios!

It feels like the top side of the tunica is shorter (tougher) than the rest.
Here's a picture, I drew my case onto an anatomy image. Perhaps that will shed some light for both you and I.

Thank you all very much for your insightful replies, it made me accept the idea that the "thing" will soften and stretch over time and reject the idea of hurting myself.
I just wanted to know if there were previous cases like mine and if they were hurt by stretching.

Any additional info is most welcome.

That picture does actually shed some light on it. As you can see in the picture, there are a lot of important arteries, veins and nerves that run along the top (dorsum) of the penis. I have noticed in the past too that during erection the 1.5"-wide strip of tissue on the dorsum is thicker and tougher than the rest of the shaft. I can see the edges of it, but I have never tried messing with that stuff; I had an injury over a year ago which involves the dorsum of my penis, and I leave my penis dorsum alone now.

Of course, this still doesn't explain anything. As I said above, people have hurt themselves by overstretching the tougher tissues in their penises. I saw one incident on another forum which involved a ligament snapping because someone overused a penis extender.

The dorsum is the most vulnerable part of the erect penis, because of something called "delamination", which means that while the rest of the penis expands outwards the dorsum actually goes in a little bit - you know the little cleft between the CCs? Vulnerable.

Some tissues need more patience, and need to be stretched more gradually. Most of these tougher tissues, whether veins or some sort of ligament, are found in the top of the shaft. Take your time.

Thanks, I'll take it easy. Slow and light stretches. It'll expand in time.

You've been most helpful, guys! Thanks a bunch!

Here is something I do to help focus some of my workout on this area. The key to getting a good stretch is using plenty of heat, learning to relax and being as flaccid as possible. If you have time then a stretch with low intensity but greater amount of time will do the trick. Whatever you do just remember to take it slow and easy and find the minimum amount to provide results. Good luck. HT.

One more thing that it could be is the septum, between the two CCs.

This is kinda what I was already saying, about delamination (delamination is when the septum gets pulled in as the rest of the penis expands, creating a weak point), but I remember over at Thunder's Place a few people said that when they were stretching they could see their septum, and that it was limiting them. I don't see how you could see your septum underneath all those layers, but they were convinced.

Just throwing it out there.

I thought I should mention it... I'm in my 5th week of PE and the vein, or whatever it was, seems to be less stubborn than before.
It's still present while stretching but not as dominant in limiting as before.

Thanks again guys!
