Manual Traction. What side (s) should I stretch?

[MambaMentality]

Recently, I have started manual traction. My hourglassing occurs when semi-erect and it is on the left side of my penis. However, the right side on the underside of my penis is the part that has trouble filling out.  Also, my penis hinges toward the left side when semi-erect and this occurs simultaneously with the hourglassing. I was wondering, what side should I stretch to? I want to stretch out the part that doesn't fill out well (the right), but it already hinges to the left so I don't want to worsen that hinge. So far, I've been stretching to all sides bc idk what side is best, nor do ik where my plaques are. Advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Not exactly me giving advice: But I would go for the most bothersome plaque first. I would also be careful with manual traction too, as you cannot accurately gauge how much traction you're actually applying.

Good luck

I would second the warning on manual traction. You cannot gauge how much tension you are applying. I would highly recommend to get a device like RestoreX or Penimaster Pro. I'd say even both, starting with RestoreX.

With RestoreX you know exactly how much tension you're applying and can target specific curves. Also i would highly advice to start VED therapy as soon as possible to retain girth. VED for girth, traction for length.

Best.

I agree with Luis, the RestoreX is a great device. On top of remodeling scar tissue, studies have shown that it also improves erectile function. People have injured themselves with manual traction, but in RestoreX trails I don't think one serious AE (adverse event) was documented.

@LuisFernandez & @AnaDuck thank you both for the advice. As it is right now, i am seventeen years old and neither of my parents will let me get either a VED or a traction device because they are worried that I will injure myself with them (I've tried multiple times). I turn 18 in April and definitely plan on at least getting a VED. Would either of you know whether a traction device can cure/help lessen hourglassing? I know that manual traction can get rid of hourglassing because of all the different angles that you can use, but I didn't know if traction by device has the same effect.

Mamba mentality first of all I want to tell you that ved is much more dangerous than restore x traction. You should be starting with restore x traction where there is very little chance of hurting if you do it gently and listen to your body. I am 26 and have been doing restore x since 1 month. So far I have not seen improvement in indentation or hourglassing but it may take a long time to see benefit. I am not giving up. Do not lose hope and know you are not the only one in young age group.

Mamba, I would recommend you showing them the medical trials. I'll give you the email of the urologist that created the device. He usually responds in 12-48 hrs by email. His name is Dr. Trost and he would gladly talk to your parents, I'm sure.

@gaussrifle first of all, best of luck to you with the restorex/traction. Lmk if u get any improvement with the indentation/hourglassing, I'm interested in that for sure.  Device traction is definitely the safest, it's just that I've heard of it being mainly for curvature, not hourglassing (this may not be true though). I know for a fact that manual traction and VED can help with hourglassing so that's why I'm interested in those two especially.  I am open to device traction though, as i do have hinging towards the left side as another symptom.

@AnaDuck thanks so much for the info.  I'll definitely consider it highly

Mamba mentality, first of all, I want to tell you that ved is much more dangerous than restore x traction.  

Really??   Did I miss some new study?  What do you base that bold, direct statement on?

No one should make such statements on this forum without referencing their evidence so that other members can conclude the validity of their claim.
