Hey guys, it's been two and a half weeks with my extender and I'm not dumb enough to expect results this quickly, but I've noticed a couple changes that seem to be positive so I'm wondering if I could get some feedback from other users. First, I didn't use to get morning wood very frequently. Occasionally I would, but now it seems almost every morning I wake up with a raging boner. I'm hoping the boners are a result of increased blood flow down there due to my penis healing overnight from the extender sessions but that may just be wishful thinking. The second change I've noticed is very minor but I seem to be slightly bigger flaccid. Rather, not much increase in flaccid size but it seems to hang fuller for a longer part of the day (I was a major turtler). I plan on measuring for progress at the one month mark but until then I'm just wondering if any other users noticed these changes when they started using their extender. Hopefully these mean I'm on the right track to gains.
Signs that Extender is working?
- Thread starter Darklocust
- Start date
All positive signs of changes in the right direction, and good indicators that you aren't overdoing it.
Just remember, you only get one dick, don't get excited and strain it too much!

The first few months I went through unwanted boners and woodies whenever I did or tried to do PE. It was annoying. It's auto-erotic visual stimulation and behavioral conditioning that causes this. Most of us have been conditioned to see nakedness as wrong or sinful, and when we start doing PE we begin to spend a lot of time with our penis out which runs afoul of the conditioning. The conditioning reacts by saying "you are going to have sex now, otherwise why is your dick out?" and it takes a few months of doing PE to dumb down the conditioning. A lot of guys do the same thing in the locker room, off come their pants and up goes their dick. Eventually you get to the point where you can work with your dick all day and not get an erection and have better control of it. On the other hand, morning wood is probably connected more to erotic needs and it generally never goes away. That's a good thing if you ask me.
Just wanted to add to my previous observations. In the morning after my morning wood subsides I've noticed that my flaccid length doesn't seem to have changed much at all, but the girth looks noticeably larger flaccid. All I'm currently doing right now is 6 hours a day with an extender. I have 5" even of girth which I consider "decent" (for now) but I'm lacking in the length department - the main reason I'm using an extender to try and get length gains. I'm not sure what I could try different and I haven't done an official erect measurement yet, (just went over 150 hours) but I plan to soon. So I can't comment on erect gains with either length or girth but it seems strange to me that it "seems" my flaccid girth has increased a bit when I'm going for length. Anyone else noticed something like this?
Published studies show that length is where you will get the most gains using an extender, as opposed to girth. Maybe your girth changes are due to edema? "Edema" is the buildup of fluids outside the corpus cavernosa tissues and is a normal response to stress on the penis- it makes the skin puffy and fat looking. It subsides after a few hours.
Ya it's not edema, I've had a little fluid build up but like you said, it goes away after a few hours. This is the next day, usually 10 or so hours since I've had the extender on so I don't know. I should be gaining length and little to no girth, that's what I would expect but last summer I did jelq's and I was an easy girth gainer, between .25" and .375" in just a couple months, with almost no length gain. Just a little puzzling but as I said I haven't taken an official erect measurement after a rest day (usually how I like to do it) yet, so we'll see.
You gain base girth with the extender as well. I have been wearing mine for awhile now and the base of the extender is getting snugger and I feel as though I need to come up with an invent to get a larger/wider base for my extender.
X4 makes a larger base. It may be compatible with your extender if you don't use an X4. All the rods seem to be interchangeable.
