What is stretching like for those with severe curves?

[Steveo]

I was just wondering.. for those who have (or had) a severe erect curve due to peyronies (not congenital)... did it noticeably affect your attempts to stretch your flaccid penis?  Using traction or even just your hand?

That is to say, I'm sure the plaque was palpable during traction or stretching, but did it shorten the penis or make a noticeable impact on not just erections but even attempts to stretch it while flaccid?  Did it deform the penis while stretched?  Did it prevent stretching much at all?  Did it prevent just the affected side from stretching?  etc.

If the erect curve became better or worse over time, was that evident in the flaccid stretch as well?  Did it make stretching more difficult or affect the overall flaccid length that could be achieved by stretching?

Thanks.
Thanks very much.

Never measured my flaccid length (BPSFL) before Peyronies started, I didn't find any reason to do that.
I measured my erect penis at it was 7".
First measured at January 1, 2012, BPSFL = 4.5"
Measured again when started to consider an implant. At February 2, 2013  the result was BPSFL = 5.04"
At January 1, 2015 the result was BPSFL = 5.12"
Following your post, from curiosity, measured again and the result is BPSFL = 4.84"
I attribute the new shortening as a result of not using VED in the last 6 months because of my traction injury.
The shortening is caused by an upward banana curve caused by a string like plaque running at the top side of my penis and a left bend bottom left side.
I didn't notice any deformity while stretching.
The plaques were palpable while flaccid, now they are palpable just when erect.
I am sure the effected sides are preventing from stretching more as I feel it more soft and not stretched in the other sides.
Hope the information helps

Thanks for the reply.  So when you were using traction, the peyronie's side felt like it was pulled tight in the stretcher while the other side felt like it was not receiving as much of a stretch?

the peyronie's side felt like it was pulled tight in the stretcher

Correct

And did the traction end up helping at all before your injury?  Thanks again for your replies.

It was just 2 weeks of traction before the injury, no any change, but can't expect change in a so short time.

Steveo,
You ask so many questions I don't know how to reply or which one to answer.  Traction obviously places traction along the length of the penile shaft. Where the plaque is located doesn't stretch as much as the rest of the Tunica. And I would use traction to the point of it just starting to be uncomfortable which was the area where the plaque was located. But that is the whole point of traction is to apply tension to the areas of plaque.
