Newbie to PE using the Quick Extender Pro

[Cunny Linguist]

So for a few weeks now I have been researching issues I am having with ED and I came across several blogs that talk about how extenders have improved erection quality, so I started researching extenders and found this website.

A little background on me:

I'm 51, 6'-4" tall and bit overweight (working on losing weight, goal is to lose 60-70 lbs). My wife and I will soon be empty nesters and we have really started to 'reconnect' with each other over the last several months...including reconnecting intimately (you married guys with young kids know what I mean). Although my desire and drive are still like they were when I was young, my body isn't as cooperative. During intimacy I can achieve an erection but I lose it after only a few minutes. I still wake up with the morning wood almost every morning but I have noticed erection quality (EQ) is slightly diminished. I know age and weight are factors with my ED but the blow to my self confidence is HUGE and I think that is only compounding the issue. I have read that PE can significantly help with EQ so I want to incorporate that in with losing weight to help with my ED. I am highly motivated because I want this phase of our marriage to be the best it's ever been (including intimacy).

So I guess this is the part where I talk about my 'junk'. With a good erection I am 6" long with a 5.1" girth. I am what I think is referred to as a 'grower' and not a 'hanger', so with my 6'-4" frame I feel like I am disproportionately small when erect and I have the 'turtle' syndrome when flaccid...which I have always been very self conscious about but have learned to live with.

So here are my goals: Better EQ, increased duration, increased length (I'd love to get to 8") and (less importantly) some increased hang. I am happy with my girth, so I'm not looking for any significant gains there.

Because we have very busy lives, making the time for a manual PE routine would be impossible for me to commit to. I do, however, work from home at my computer, so an extender seems to be the logical choice for me as I can have it on while I am working and my goal is for length and not girth.

So after a couple of days research I have settled on the Quick Extender Pro Deluxe package with the 4000g springs, and with any luck it'll be here in a week.

After reading through a number of threads I have to say it seems to be a great bunch of guys on this site and many are supportive and willing to help out and encourage members. So with that in mind i'd like to ask a few question...I'm sure these have probably been answered elsewhere, but it's hard trying to sift through all of the information. So if it's ok, I would ask that you humor a newbie.

When using an extender, how permanent are the gains? I have read in numerous places about 'cementing' or 'locking in' the gains but I *think* that may be gains achieved from manual PE?

If/when I achieve my ultimate goal of 8", is regular maintenance required to keep my gains?

So that's it for now, I will post an update when my QEP arrives!

-cheers!

Whoop! I just got a notification that my QEP is being delivered today! 5 days from order to delivery, I'm impressed! Looks like I'm going to have a lot of reading to do this weekend.

My QEP arrived last night! I spent some time familiarizing myself with the extender. I essentially disassembled and reassembled it so I have a good understanding of how everything works mechanically.

I've read through a bunch of the QEP threads and a common 'complaint' seems to be keeping the QEP compressed while strapping down. It seems to me a pretty simple solution would be if the manufacturer added two small thumbscrews on the sides of the spring housings. Just compress the rods, tighten the thumb screws to keep it compressed and then slip it on and strap down. Once secured, loosen the thumbscrews to allow the springs to tension the rods. I may have to give this idea a try but I don't want to void my warranty just yet, so I'll wait a few months to see if the QEP is working for me before making any mods.

I watched the DVD, went through the process for setting the initial length and practiced putting it on and taking it off several times. I found that the initial setting for length was much too short as my glans was completely past the end of the support piece with the springs completely uncompressed, so there was zero tension. I ended up adding in two .5cm rods to give just a slight pull.

I ended up keeping it on for about 60 minutes to see how it would feel. I was surprised by how comfortable it actually is! I noticed that the strap seemed like it was loosening up a bit after I had it snugged down. I re-tightened the strap a couple of times and finally ended up adding in the second strap and that seemed to do the trick. I also noticed where the strap was against my skin on the bottom that it tugged on the skin a little making it slightly uncomfortable. I will be using Ultimate Burrito's sock suggestion as that seemed to work well for several people.

My plan is to follow the manufacturers recommended regimen for at least the first 4-5 months. I figure in that time I should have a good feel for how my body reacts/adapts to the QED and then I can make adjustments if needed/wanted. I'm working on making up an Excel spreadsheet to log and chart my progress. Once I have it figured out I'd be happy to share it with anyone that is interested.

I'd like to thank everyone that has shared their experiences here on this site, it's been a tremendous help now and an invaluable asset in the future!

My PE starts tomorrow morning!

Cheers!

I just finished Excel extender progress log and I'm pretty pleased with it. It has two worksheets...one where you enter your daily time and also monthly measurements and one where you define your regimen (I based mine off the manufacturers recommendation). The regimen is set up like this:

Set / Time of Individual Sessions / Total time of Set / Cumulative time of Sets / Rod Increase per set

The Set is your pre-determined group of individual session
The Time of Individual Sessions is the time you spent with the extender on each day
The Total time of Set is the number of total hours for the Set
The Cumulative time of Sets is the total of ALL hours spent with the extender on (this is calculated automatically)
The Rod Increase per Set is the amount you will increase the rod length AFTER you have completed the set

So for example (using the manufacturers recommendations):
Set 1 - 3hr sessions for a total of 15hrs with a .5cm increase in rod length when the set is complete
Set 2 - 6hr sessions for a total of 30hrs with a .5cm increase in rod length when the set is complete
Set 3 - 8hr sessions for a total of 40hrs with a .5cm increase in rod length when the set is complete
Set 4 - 8hr sessions for a total of 56hrs with a .5cm increase in rod length when the set is complete
etc...

I hope this makes sense. Like I said, if anyone is interested, let me know, I will be more than happy to share.

First session complete!

I'm an early riser, so I got up at 4am. I started off with applying baby powder and some really light manual stretching. I put on the sock (as recommended by Ultimate Burrito) and the QEP and laid back in bed. Three hours of QEP stretching with 5 minute breaks each hour. During the breaks, light stretching and massaging to get the blood moving. Finished with using the booster pump for 5 minutes.

So I see this is going to take a bit of figuring out what is going to work best for me. I have a more pointed glans vs. a mushroom head and with the comfort sleeve on the strap I could not maintain any head swell. I removed the comfort sleeve and was able to keep some head swell BUT the strap kept loosening up.

So now I have two questions and I'd really appreciate some feedback.
1. Are there any potential issues with using just the sock and strap?
2. Is there any way to keep the strap from loosening up?

*edit - one more question*
3. Can/Should the rods be 'unscrewed' in order to fine tune the tension?

Thanks!

So I ended up answering question#2 on my own. The strap is placed in the top holes and fed back through the bottom holes. I gave it a quick try and it's really secure now.

That little lariat can mess your dick up bad. I got a partial tear in my frenulum from ignoring pain. Stop when and if you do. I gain over an inch with the Phallosan Forte. Be safe. Welcome to the Party.

Thanks for the warning. Believe me, I don't have any plans to push it to the point where I have any pain! I'm not looking for miracle gains in a few weeks/months. I have accepted that my goal will likely take 12-18 months at absolute best.

Yep. It’s a marathon not a race. Gained my 1 inch plus in about 9 months. Good luck.

So I did my second session this morning and things went much better. Feeding the strap back through the second hole was a little annoying but worth it because the strap didn't loosen at all! Three 1 hour with a 10 minute break between. The first 5 minutes of the break was spent messaging/jelqs to get the blood moving and then a couple minutes rest before putting the extender back on. I applied baby powder each time before I put the extender on to keep any skin from pinching and it really helped. Once on, I screwed the rods out to put enough tension to compress the springs to the first line. Since this is the adaptation phase I felt that's a good starting point. I could tell there's a definite increase of stretch on the top of the shaft when it's pointed towards my feet and on the underside of my shaft when it's pointed towards my head, so I alternated between being pointed up and pointed down to even out the stretch. Today I felt like I was getting a really good stretch. I'm going to follow the manufacturers recommended time to get acclimated, but I can't wait until I am able to have it on for 8hrs a day.

Since it was early AM, I had plenty of time to think as I was laying in my bed. I decided I didn't want to spend the next six months fumbling with compressing the springs while getting strapped in, so I was going to fix that. What I ended up doing was to compress the spring housing and drill a small hole through one side. Now I can compress the spring and insert a pin through the holes to keep it compressed! Once I'm strapped in I just pull the pin!

I was also thinking it would be much easier if you could strap on the glans support piece first and then fit the glans support piece to the extension rods. The idea would be to remove a little bit of the back (red hatched area) but leave enough of it so that it could be snapped in place and then pressed down the rest of the way on to the tension rods.

I will contact them on Monday and see if I can purchase the glans support piece by itself so that I can try it out.

Cheers!
