VED’s - choices, models & quality

Then once the weekly schedule of the protocol for the A cylinder is completed, the larger B cylinder comes next in line. This provides much more open space in that cylinder to allow the penile shaft to expand to a greater degree. Then once the B schedule is completed and the C cylinder in used, this allows the penis to expand to its fullest and this allows as much or more than a naturally acquired erection.

Hi Old Man,

I do realize that this is the logic behind the use of multiple cylinders, but this explanation fails to address the concern that I had brought up:

One further thought on Hawk's description of the straightening mechanism.  Maybe "keep any stretch off of the long side" implies that there is a danger of stretching the unscarred tissue more than the scarred tissue, so making the curvature worse.  On this account the straight snug-tube (3-cylinder) VED method is challenged again.  Even if constrained in a straight tube, the long (unscarred) side of the penis can then stretch more than the short (scarred) side, putting the penis into shear.

Potentially stretching the unscarred side more so than the scarred side and making the curvature worse is something I've become concerned about, and has made me question whether therapy with the snug-fit cylinder is better off on it own vs together with larger cylinders with which there is little to no force provided (penis is not touching the sides of the cylinder), at least when it comes to lesser penis curvatures.

If these concerns carry any weight, the use of larger cylinders may be anti-therapeutic, at least for some individuals.

Please read the forum rules regarding quotes.
Regarding stretching the healthy side too much, in my opinion is just impossible because the side with the plaque will not allow it.
