Thick 'cord' and no gains; share your experiences and advice

[Hanma Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Hanma]

Its not a vein thats for sure , its like a cable in the middle in the penis (inside) and its going from the head to the inside of the body , when i stretch and put a finger in the base of my penis i can feel it , its attacht with the rest of the body .

Well yeah I feel that too. There has to be a connection to the body.

A distinction should be made between the normal "cord" that runs atop the penis- which is an extension of the suspensory ligament, and hard but movable "strings" that some men describe having which usually turn out to be "lymphangiosclerosis". The former is a part of most every man's penis and is (in most cases) the "limiter" of length, while the latter is an issue that may be cleared with alternating hot and cold compresses coupled with light massage.

This thread seems to be the one that initiated several PMs to me. Due to my schedule I don't get to visit this forum as often as I like, so if you need to get in touch with me please contact me through [email protected] or [email protected] .

Cord.Is.Killing.Me, You referenced hanging, but said that you weren't able to do it? This might be your answer. I say this because my penis may be like yours, it feels like there is a steel cable in the middle. When I pull on my penis to measure the flaccid stretch length, it hits the limit of its length with very definite and positive stop. Much like if I were stretching out a cable.

After 45 days of manual PE, I did gain better flaccid hang, gained girth, but absolutely no length. I came to the conclusion that only hanging would provide the continual and signifcant stress for me to gain length. And so far after 60 days of hangning I have gained 3/8" in length. I have read that some people have 1, 2 or 3 layers of tunica. Whatever my penis is made of, it is strong and requires more than just manual PE.

Do you have a very high EQ? I think this can be a symptom of a rigid tunica. Just thinking out loud?

Hello,

Yes I can hang, and I have been hanging - my issues recently have been lots of red spots - which stops me hanging for several days. I have ugly permanent skin discolouration from over a year ago from ignoring these blood injuries so now I try to particularly avoid them.

I am trying to start out all over again - light weight etc taking it easy.

Now, I have managed to hang for, I think a few months and it gained me nothing at all.

Maybe I should post a pic of the cord, but we'll see. It is definitely a thicker structure at the top and centre line which runs from the pubic bone all the way to just under the head.

My cord is strong and robust. However my skin and the rest of my penis is fragile. This is a problem. Can I ever get enough weight hanging for enough time to lengthen, by tissue growth, the cord without doing more damage to the rest of my penis?

So yes - I do and can hang. I may have said I couldn't before but then I invested in a bib starter hanger and took some weeks to become aqcuinted with how to hang. I still have yet to try fulcrum hanging - but my aim at the moment is to STOP GETTING RED/BLACK BLOOD SPOTS. It irritates me immensley to take off the hanger and see the blood spots - because then it is over for a few days.

I do not have amicrowave, I get water in a jar as hot as I can stand and use that for 5 minutes. I am considering getting a thermometer to be consistent with the temperature.

Any more questions or discussions please feel free to post, I have neevr gained any length in PE, but in the past I have gained some girth - now lost. Mine bends upwards like a banana and the cord spreads out with the erection and goes wide across the top and is very hard to the touch. My erection quality varies if i am tired - when it points up I know it is a good EQ and that happens whenever I wake up usually or am aroused - the usual.

My flaccid stretch is pathetic because there is almost no 'give' in the stretch and then it locks out due to the cord but all the tissue around the cord is still soft.

If I had gained 3/8 in length after 60 days I would be ecstatic. I have not even gained 1/10th or 1/20th to let me know that it's even possible. I seem infact to have lost something like .3 of an inch in length, maybe .5

Thanks for stopping by and I, and I'm sure others will keep the email adress/s in mind for future.

For me it is definitely a cord, but I also have what feel like strings ontop of that cord, I have always had since puberty at the least, they are a non-issue for me, I just figure the are part of the 'design' down there. But the cord... It frustrates my efforts.

Guys - my corded brethren,

1. ALL MEN ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.
From my own questioning of guys about the cord they tell me that they absolutely have no such structure or tissue thickening down there - and these are the guys who as far as I know have gained well. One of my friends who does NOT have the cord gained 1cm in less than a month, and 2" gained at that time overall and growing, I don't know since because I got too upset at my own failure to gain 1 cm EVER. Conclusion - some guys have the cord, some do not.

2. HOW CORDED?
Of those of us who are corded, there must be those of us who have a thicker or thinner cord than the others. My guess would be that those who have a thinner cord would be the ones reporting gains of any kind, those of us with thicker cords, like myself would be therefore find it even harder (impossible????) to gain than the thinner corded guys even.


I would also guess that those of us with the cord will have, on average, a higher tendency to have an upwards pointing banana shaped penis than other guys. I'm not saying that's exclusive, but surely more frequent with a cord.

When I did PE before, jelqs, holds ect, I found that curve getting even more acute - I believe this to be due to the rest of the penile tissue managing to adapt and expand whilst the cord did not - resulting in an exacerbated curve. I stopped regular PE since it is futile to do with the cord as it is, at least in my case. I hate the curve.

My penis also curves when soft - due to the restrictive cord, so that it does not tend to hang directly down, but rather to one side or another, it is not so pronounced, but it is evident in my eyes. It has always been this way and until I saw porn I thought all guys were the same. The curve makes it look even shorter also.

Youve seen doctors about it to see what it really is?

[Cord.is.Killing.me Member Find all posts View Profile Close Cord.is.Killing.me]

Post a pic if you can

Yeah, I was thinking this. I was thinking to do several, maybe one where I pinch the rest of the penis out of the way so that the tissue left is the cord (flaccid) and another with it stretched out and angled so that the cord ontop can be seen under the skin. I don't know how we'll they'd translate to photo as opposed to real life though. Also I do not know where to host such pictures as it's the nature of them.

I feel a cord like thing on the top of my shaft, but im pretty sure its just the vein, I also have an upward curve but my dick can stretch with my extender a lot so I dont think its a problem at all.

In my experience doctors don't care about this kind of thing and why would they? It is an anatomical variant of the human penis - some guys have this, most do not it seems.

My friend if he does a flaccid stretch it is the whole penis which brings the stretch to a stop, corded guys, it is the cord which brings the stretch to a stop - even whilst the rest of the penis underneath and alittle either side is still soft and could be pulled more (if the cord weren't there to stop it).

It just seems to be what we have in our genes, why?? I don't know, of all the things to strengthen like that..

That's not anything for a doctors concern.

OK, but this is a thread about guys with a cord - if you have just a vein then you should have no such issues to have to contend with. Mine, and the other guys complaining of the same thing is not any kind of vein, it is a thickened amount of tissue, maybe even fused, I don't know. The 'cord' is just the term we use to describe it because that's how it feels. It extends all the way from the pubic bone all the way to under the head and it feels distinct and separate from the rest of the penis.

I have the cord as well--it gets tougher and thicker the longer you practice penis enlargement. It is definitely the limiting factor as far as length is concerned. I would focus on girth, if I were you. Two reasons: women love girth and they can't feel length, so what's the point--unless you want to show it off--i.e. eye candy. In this case, I would focus on my flaccid, since stretching, jelqing, and hanging will increase your flaccid.

I have discussed this hard, almost immoveable cord that runs down the middle of my penis with a pal of mine from Thunder's and Matters of Size by the name of GermanStallion. He had no solution other than a trick he learned from a doctor friend of his, which you might try.

I'll see if I can locate the link for this exercise and get back to you. It is not a "cure" for that steel-like cord limiting factor, but it is a pretty neat exercise.

with the cord, you can barley strecth your penis? can you reach you bpel when you strecth it in its flaccid state? what are your stats btw?
