Hello, sorry to bump a month old thread but i find this theory interesting.
Mainly, seems to reflect my case. Currently focusing on length with hanging being the main exrcise and also some pumping.
Measurements are as follows
BPFSL 8.75 inch
FSL 8.25 inch
NBPEL 7 inch
BPEL 7.5 inch
EG 4.75 inch
EQ (very rare morning wood) is like 6.5 at best, i feel like i cant grow into the tissue.
My question is, as i have ED and very low libido, dont get erections normally and having read that getting frequent erections is important for smooth muscle function which is seemingly my limiting factor, does an erection obtained by pumping also count as an exercise for a smooth muscle?
I actually bought a pump before starting PE mainly because I was worried sth would atrophy permanently due to not getting erections at all and pumping was a way to artifivially induce erections and keep the blood flowing.
Does the smooth muscle also relax while under vacuum like in a normal erection or is the mechanism of vacuum induced erection different, ie. blood is simpoy forced in?
Also, another question. Can the smooth muscle actually atrophy from years of disuse?
I mean if it can atrophy then it can obviously also hypertrophy, through targeted exercises.
