The Cord

Ah k, you got me. Have you managed to locate your 'cord' yet anyway? It's so easy to find - assuming that you have it. stretch yourself out and then pinch approx. the top few centimetres and you'll feel a long hard well...cord type thing (don't NEED to be stretched to feel it tho).

...and thats the cord is it? anymore anatomical data on this structure anyone? its proper name? I have a book on penile surgery from 2007 with many procedures, so can research it.

yeah, based on what i've read, that is 'the cord'. Apparently the real name is the 'septum'

Goin4 used those progressive stretches to fool the "cord" into not reacting to the stresses being placed on the penis. He had great success in temporarily stretching really far.

I told going4 of a doctor who works with peyronies that has a theory that if you "sneak up" on the penis in stretching, you can get some good stretch, before it "protects itself" with the tugback. it is a normal reaction to let you pull only so far and then that is stop..no more. with my septum, there is not any stretch in it any more. Over the years, it has reached its 'relisilency" and won't give any. My only hope, it seems, is for me to get some length by "hanging." This might beat the septum/cord and if I get enough "fatigue" in hanging maybe it will give. However, right now, I don't have much hope. If you put your penis through enough stretching/hanging/etc it will get so "strong" that nothing is going to make it say "uncle." That is where I feel I am at right now. GS

This is why its best to do short intense sessions with plenty of rest and not hammer the penis 5 days or 7 days a week like many do. GS perhaps you should take 4-6 weeks off from Penis Enlargement and de-condition yourself, just rest up.

Okay I'll look into it.

Red, I am not opposed to that. I have been intense for many years to overcome the peyroneis and have succeeded. Even if i don't get anymore length, I am better than I was. I did quite for about 3 months and when I came back and started up again, I noticed that this zero stretch has occurred. Not that it is that bad. I gain in erect size from flaccid size, but the flaccid size doesn't "give" any. Most guys can pull some length, but I can't get much! I do have to laugh, cause to not do Penis Enlargement is like telling a bird not to fly. It is a natural and addictive thing to me. Thanks for the advice. GS

Hi GS, I don't know if you can relate to this, but my 'cord' toughened up over the first few months of this year, it noticably thickened, shortened a little bit, and became totally un-stretchable. I have no doubt it was because I was stretching it way too hard and too much trying to 'break it down' as I had read somewhere. After 4 weeks of heat application, gentle stretching, massage and light jelqing it loosened right up again, became much thinner and has re-gained some stretchiness. I'm just going to stretch gently from now on and see how that goes. I'm sure mine was inflammed also. Cheers, Ted.

I think ou are exactly right. It seems to be the same as you say. It used to stretch, but not anymore, i will back off and see if I get some 'stretch" back into the ole penis. I have a lot of "flop" so it is not flexability, but stretch that I want to gain back. Thanks for the insight. GS

This could really explain a lot of DLD's success....he's OCD and can stick to the WARMUPs that go with Penis Enlargement. DLD's first routine that he said he followed included a thorough warmup...

i also have this cord but recently i started doin bundled a-stretches and it has actualy been helping!

you guys that are having issues, are you saying that your FL is the same as your FSL, i.e you can't stretch at all?

DLD is the man, but the chances of him being genetically Penis Enlargement "elite" with a seriously stretchable 'cord', are pretty slim. I think it may be limiting, but DLD added 4 FREAKIN INCHES. I think a good length is doable for most who are consistent.

I have very little stretch, very little. The flaccid length is it! Both the same. GS

My flaccid length is a couple of inches shorter than my flaccid stretch length. My flaccid stretch length is almost as long as my erect length, it never used to be, my flaccid stretch length was always an inch longer than my erect length.

I have backed right off and I'm now only stretching really progressively, gently, and for 10 mins max, and then I'm doing a 35 min Bathmate and jelq/uli/paradise bend combo (5mins then 5 mins). I'll post up if I started making length gains again. Sorry, WHEN I start making length gains again

sweet mate, I'm going to put them into my stretching again (but gently!).

I've noticed another weird thing, I can now feel the cord on top - dorsal cord - has gotten thicker. My ventral cord/septum is still shorter and thicker than the top (possibly because the urethra is down there). I'm pretty sure that when they are the same length the erection will be straight (for myself or guys with an upwards curve).

he corpora cavernosa penis are surrounded by a strong fibrous envelope consisting of superficial and deep fibers. The superficial fibers are longitudinal in direction, and form a single tube which encloses both corpora; the deep fibers are arranged circularly around each corpus, and form by their junction in the median plane the septum of the penis.
This is thick and complete behind, but is imperfect in front, where it consists of a series of vertical bands arranged like the teeth of a comb; it is therefore named the septum pectiniforme.

The portion of the tunica albuginea separating the two cavernous bodies of the penis.

I always thought this 'cord' was just the tunica but perhaps i was mistaken with everyone referring to it as the septum.

anyway, i feel the effects of this cord on a regular basis and have learned a little about it.

as a few have stated, it is a protective tugback mechanism that does not allow your penis to be stretched beyond a reasonable capacity. this cord is not worth fighting with (ie: yanking on in an effort to break it down). you will most likely hurt your penis if you fight with this cord. instead, you must work with it. you must realize what its job is and try to trick it into not doing it. this is accomplished by gripping just below the head in an overhand grip and SLOWLY pulling out. you do not want to 'wake up' the cord. keep on pulling slowly until you reach maximum flaccid stretched length. once you reach your max FSL, simply hold for whatever duration of time you see fit.

i can not overstate the importance of pulling out slowly so as not to initiate your penis's natural defense mode. try it to compare! grab just below the glans and pull fast.. your stretch will come to a screeching halt thanks to 'the cord'. now do the same stretch but do it slowly and 'quietly' so that you do not 'awaken' the cord. think of it as a sleeping security guard for your penis that if you sneak up on you can get away with a more intense stretch.

I'm curious about how similiar the cord is to the ligaments that you stretch when in say gym class....it's all about the stresses on the body being a threat for damage and the brain reacting to the tissue's pleas for help. So what's the best way to gain flexibility like the splits? Slow movements to not wake up the brain's protection or just dulling the senses. Seems to me the septum should work either way...

yep! GS
