Newbie; a few Questions

[Sampson]

Hey guys, I recently started restoring with the TLC-X and the bi-directional upgrade. I've been at it for 15 days with the device on for about 10-12 hours a day.

I have 2 questions. The first is about night wearing of the yourskin cone. I wore it one night and the next morning it was between my sheets, no big problem. But the next night I woke up as I was getting an erection and the cone, still on the glans, was causing a LOT of pain so I took it off and havent used it at night since. Does anyone think its a good idea to not wear any device at night, as this is what ive been doing.

The second question is about my skin's stretchability. I've always had pretty stretchy skin - which I've mainly used to stretch it off my face and gross people. This is not rare, ive met lots of other people who have very stretchy skin as well. I was wondering if this speeds up or slows down the restoring process, does anyone have any insight to this?

Thanks!

as far as the cone coming off i could be that there is just not enough skin to allow for night erections, you could try t-tape as it allows for the glans to stil extend past the foreskin if needed, at least until you have enough skin to allow the use of the cone with an erection

As for your second question: nobody here really knows, because nobody knows what an optimum tension force value would be for themselves, or in general.

In other words, stretching is really a period of tension temporarily applied to the skin; it's temporary tension that causes a complex, microscopic response that results eventually in more cells dividing. You would have to generally consider that if your skin is very easily stretched, then that could reduce the tension value some unknown amount; less possible force, so maybe less of a response. But.............

But that's a guess, a mental construct, and not necessarily your real world experience. Who knows?

Again, nobody here knows how you or anyone else will respond to an attempt at restoration. So, you need to begin, if you choose, put some tension on shaft skin in one of the available ways, and hope for the best. This process takes everyone a long time, so if you choose to begin, then don't let the amount of time involved discourage you. Your actual response may be like everyone else's, or may even be quicker, for that matter.

Thanks guys. I tried wearing my your-skin cone more loosely last night, ie not jamming it down there and not trying to pullwhat skin I have through the hole. It seemed to help, I only woke up much later and removed the cone as I was getting erection - didnt really hurt. I am just not sure I want to mess with tape right now, it seems like too much of a pain - I know i wouldnt stick with it. Thanks for the advice though, cloud :)

Distalero, I appreciate your perspective. I was having the same apprehensions as you (logically I see your viewpoint) but on the bright side there could be more at play than just skin flexibility.

I guess I'd just like to see if there are any guys out there who have restored w/ skin that is stretchy and hear what experiences they've had. Again, my skin isnt overly stretchy, just a bit stretchy.

Thanks!
