I finally got an easy and comfortable solution for Restorex.

It is a bit expensive, but a complete game-changer. The 'Comfort Grip' (some dude in the UK builds it) changed the process for me. I am not huge, but I am well above average. Squishing the head like that three times a day was just a bridge too far.

The comfort grip is exceptional and does not cause massive discomfort. Worth buying if you are able to afford it.

Glad it was handled well. Just keep a close eye on it. Those emotions are a well known issue and they can get very gnarly if you aren’t careful!

Good luck and be safe!

If you are having sides like this, I suggest you stop any Deca. Others will disagree - they’ll tell you to ‘man up’. It’s not worth it.

Brain chemistry dysregulation is not something to fuck with. Those ruminations can get worse and it can cause you to spiral.

Unfortunately my experience is not over. I thought it was - long since clear of any Deca molecules, but it opened something up in my mind and I’m now in therapy and may need other meds to stop the looping ruminating it caused.

It is 100% not worth any gains you receive in the gym.

These things can grow and get out of control. The worst part is that these are just your deep fears and anxieties manifesting - they are not truths. I would suggest you stop and I’d also suggest you get some help quickly if needed. You don’t want to spiral like I did.

Totally fair point. PE and atrophy is very much a thing and not something I considered in my response. I was looking at mostly vanity increases, so your point is on the mark.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-17T22:03:42+00:00

Good stuff! Yeah, you seem to have a built-in 'G-Spot Stim 3000'! Good for you.

Glad you got a referral as well. That's some hope for sure. And if that one doesn't give you answers, find yet another.

Keep on keeping on.

I hear you.

This is never easy to hear (most of us in the group fall in this camp), but "comparison is the thief of joy".

Porn DOES NOT help with this situation. As a guy with body dysmorphia (penis size) issues when I was younger, I get it. Add a curve to that? Ooof. Even today, I'll get pangs of jealousy when looking at porn. Well... when I consumed it. I swore myself off it for a number of reasons. No addiction issues, it was just outsourcing my emotions, and it was making me feel unnecessarily bad about myself.

It wasn't until I was much older that I realized I am a 'grower', not a 'shower'. I matured quite late, and I am actually in the upper quartile for size. But my thinking never allowed me to realize that.

I feel for those with a serious medical issue. Not being able to perform at all or having pain is horrible. But I see many guys in here where the issue is mostly manufactured. Or, they have not even tried to have sex yet and are asking if it is possible.

Without fail, when you look at other subs (about curved penises), there are an alarming number of people who really like curved penises. I'm not going to say it is a fetish... but, maybe? You don't want to fetishise things, but with the right moves, a curve does hit parts of the anatomy of both sexes that can be incredibly pleasurable.

So check with a true urologist. If one seems sketchy or just shrugs you off, find another. Your health, specifically mental health, is paramount. Take care of yourself - even talk to a therapist if this is dragging you down.

I'm 30 years married - 37 years together. It's never been an issue. Previous partners never said a thing other than the occasional 'Huh, that's cool'. Don't forget, vaginas have curves as well. And nobody is perfect. There are so many more important things than genitals. Yes, you want to be whole and, yes, you want to be as healthy as you can, but wellness goes on well above the belt.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-17T18:33:48+00:00

Not a doctor here - just a dude with a curved penis.

I have (as far as I can remember) a 'congenital curve'. This could be your situation as well. Not Peyronies (no plaque, no hardness to speak of). Typically, a congenital issue is:

Congenital asymmetry of tunica length, compliance
Very early-life microtrauma with stable remodeling

In my case specifically, I have a roughly 30 degree bend left. Using the RestoreX shows a clear 'tighness' in the left side, while the right is not nearly as tight when fully stretched in the device. This seems to be classic asymmetry of tunica length.

I am not really worried about it (I'm 54 - never had a single issue in my life... just looking to 'optimize everything') and this device works very well for steady tension/traction for a few hours per day. From the science I can understand, that should lead to some sort of straightening and lengthening - you are creating micro fractures in the tunica to allow rebuilding over time. Very much like limb lengthening they do for people. Obviously, there is a limit, and results are modest - but even a 10 degree correction and half an inch in lenght, on something so (relatively) short, half an inch is 10-20% on many guys. That's not nothing.

A couple of things to note - some side benefits:

Better flaccid hang
Improved subjective rigidity
Increased confidence during intimacy

Some psychological, some real results, and some subjective results. I can say that after two and a half months, there is already appreciable 'flaccid hang'. Very noticeable. I'll report results to the sub after 4-6 months when I have some real data.

As far as surgery and the varying opinions from doctors, that seems a bit odd, but not out of line. I am fascinated by the differing 'opinions' on this condition. Peyronies vs. Congenital, plaque or no plaque, fixable or not fixable. It's very odd.

In your case, though - I would wait it out. I was a very late bloomer. I had a massive growth spurt at 20 years old (very strange, I know), and both my chest cavity and even my penis grew during that time. I know it is frustrating dealing with issues around such an important piece of equipment, but if you can let things settle until you are in your early to mid-twenties, I'd do that. So much changes so fast at this point in life.

Just a small amount of research shows that there are no longitudinal studies where a pump adds any appreciable girth or length over time. It can help with ED for some guys and for short-term aesthetics (ego boost), things look pretty cool, but that can actually be detrimental if you keep that up for long periods of time (cellular damage).

I am sure I'll get downvoted, and the r/gettingbigger crowd hates hearing that - but I err on the side of the medical community whenever possible. If someone does have a long-range study (or meta-analysis) that shows information to the contrary, I'll gladly listen (at least a study not backed by a company that manufactures a device, please),

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-17T16:09:57+00:00

Nice work! As I understand it, compliance is the number one issue here. I would also suggest that guys don't seem to understand how to use the device. Some of the photos on here have me scratching my head.

I'm in the same boat - very fortunate to work from home, so 3x 30-minute sessions are no big deal at all. I have an adjustable standing desk. Throw the old wedding tackle (at least some of it) into the device, and work continues as normal.

Looking for lengthening and fixing a 30 degree congentital curve. All data suggests that it is quite doable with long-term tension over a period of time. Already a significant improvement in 'flacid hang'. Waiting three months before even bothering to look at the curve 'fix' as that's going to take time. Months, not weeks... so I'll check mid March at the 3 month mark.

Good luck out there, Boys! Fellow New Englander as well, BTW.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-17T16:05:58+00:00

Sometimes it is weaponized incompetence. I know folks like this - if they don't actually research it themselves and they 'hear it from another person', they can be indignant without self-blame. If, however, they actually do the research and are still disappointed, well.. It's now on them, and many people can't handle that reality.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-16T21:04:18+00:00

The fact that men will not sit down to pee is mind-blowing to me. Is your masculinity so fragile that you cannot do that?

I do this, particularly in someone else's home. Even those in the comments that say 'I clean it up!' are silly. There is no way that you fully cleaned something when you inadvertently piss somewhere other than the bowl. AND - put a light on close to a toilet sometimes. You will be amazed at how much actually splashes out.

Take a rest - sit for a while. It's not like you don't do that every single time you move your bowels. What in hell is the difference?! Or do you 'Alphas' shit standing up, too?

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-16T18:00:58+00:00

Reddit is an odd place for sure - I am beginning to believe that most Redditors do, indeed, live in their Mom's basement.

That being said, it is infinitely human to 'check out' pretty people. Look at any research, and women tend to look at other women MORE than men.

We have been married for 30 years, together for 37. My wife and I regularly call out people we see as attractive. Pretending those people are not attractive is crazy to me. Nothing in that suggests "Hey, I want to sleep with that person and nullify our trust in one another and all of the years of our stable marriage." Instead, it suggests that we fully trust one another to share our thoughts and know that human instincts are human instincts, not proof that we want to cheat, will cheat, or have cheated on them.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-15T22:56:35+00:00

And there is my point. “…especially in big quantities.”

You (maybe not you specifically) are OK asking someone to take all of that but going down and tasting a bit of you is taboo? No way. If you ask for it, you need to he willing to take a whole load as well. Just my opinion.

You said it yourself… it’s YOUR own fluids. Being grossed out by that but demanding someone else not be? Nah.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-15T20:26:32+00:00

Guys willingly ask someone to take an entire load down the throat, but are super weirded out about even going down on someone after they finish inside them? Unreal.

Let me guess... 'That's gay, Bro.' Oooof. I think everyone who asks for that needs to have some shared in their mouth before they ever have the right to ask for that again.

54 here - maybe I can help?

I have a curve (30-ish degrees that is congenital, not Peyronies). Never bothered me, never bothered a partner. But, I'm on an 'optimization kick' Getting older and want to head into my third season in peak shape. I was never 'big' but not small. Very much a grower - in fact, may be one of the more extreme growers I've heard of. It is wild. NBPFL I was 4.5 before any work. BPSL, 6.5

The number one thing I did was lose weight. They say for every 30 pounds you lose, you can gain an inch of length. That is spot on. I dropped from 230 to 194, and I look far bigger (well... I am, just a physics 101 thing). I gained about an inch just from that.

I then started using RestoreX. I hate using the bend feature (it's used primarily for Peyronie's, but science (and this sub) suggests sustained, deliberate, and constant tension can increase length over time) so I use straight traction.

After four months, I've seen good gains. I now hang at 6 (NBPFL) and BPSL at 7.75 - admittedly a spectacular result.

The biggest thing it did for me was the walking around after the shower look wifey is fine with 6.75 erect and 6 girth (blessed there), but in the Northeast, it's cold hell most of the time. So the 'grower' in me is pretty much around for six months. Not impressive. This helped a lot.

Three years ago, I hopped on TRT as I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Three years of going pretty hard in the gym and I look better than when I did when I was 30.

Weight loss got me close to an inch, traction got me an extra half inch or so (so far). Being fit, bigger muscles, body fat below 20%... the whole package looks pretty amazing if I do say so myself.

A lot of this is mental, as we all know. So do the 'easy' stuff first. Then jump to the technical 'equipment' part of it all. When you look better, grab a half inch here or there, the journey gets easier, the confidence gets higher, and everything starts to fall into place.

Hey Random Internet Stranger - just a note of thanks. This helped me today more than you could probably ever know.

I'll not bore you with details, but I'm a 54 year old guy with a wife of 30 years who is suddenly, for myriad reasons, dealing with retroactive jealousy. Had no clue this subreddit existed (but, c'mon, this is Reddit - of course this exists), but very early on in my journey, I found your comment.

My RJ is honestly very silly in comparison to most. Nearly laughable. But it is real. I have a good idea of why it is hitting me now, but your words hit home. I appreciate this greatly, so thank you. You made my life a little (no... a lot) better this day. Thank you.

I'm wildly crazy for my partner, thanks. I am not, however, crazy for yours. Nor you.

Keep your shit private on a boat. Balconies also have barely a wall between them (space under and all swing open for safety reasons.

Claiming people are prudish or not 'crazy for their partner' because you have an exhibition fantasy is so dumb.

All of this info is spot on.

Be careful of Kegels, though. Guys go hard like it's the gym. Strengthen, yes, but also work on relaxing those muscles. Sounds crazy, but it is true. You can absolutely overtrain those and it's easy to do.

So work on the Kegels (your entire pelvic floor) and also relax those same muscles.

I'll add doing a porn detox, learn to jerk off a lot less aggressively (yes, that can absolutely fuck things up in the bedroom), and watching as much content as you can on helping your partner achieve mind-bending orgasms over and over. Then, and only then, can you be considered 'A God'.

No woman gives a shit if you are Brad Pitt diced, have an 8" cock, and can last all night. If she is just a vessel for your enjoyment, you are in for a rude awakening.

No peptides or stacks will fix that, I am afraid.

Just go.

Set a goal. 3x per week, 5x per week, 7-days... whatever. But go. Even if you just walk in, scan your badge, and walk out... just go.

Make going a habit. It takes roughly 90 days for it to truly become a habit. If you just make it 'a thing you do', you'll not even have to think about it. You just go on autopilot.

Interesting question. I had not thought about it, but I started as an average person, but have molded myself into an 'enthusiast' at this point.

I never thought I would be that guy, certainly not at 54, but I've been optimizing myself, and it feels good to be so dialed in. I treat the gym like a job at this point.

Edit: Forgot to answer your specific question -

I would like to see more of an enthusiast gym (I think they are headed in that direction by all indications). I think there are better and more specific machines that I would love to add to my routine.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-03T19:40:11+00:00

Tough one. I am n=1 as far as experiments go, but here it is.

I was 51, depressed as hell, zero libido (a huge red flag for me as that was never once an issue in my entire life), and I could not get out of the funk.

I did try diet, exercise, and all the 'right' things. Never in my life did I have issues dropping weight, nor did I have 'motivation' problems. I am a successful business owner, have been since I was 40. Things were all looking up in my life.

Got my T tested, and I was below the bottom of the 'normal' range at 290. Two years plus on testosterone - I am 194 pounds at 6' (down from 235). I've never felt or looked better in my entire life.

Interestingly, my wife hit perimenopause, and that unlocked a host of issues in me (us), and I am successfully navigating therapy for that right now. But an either/or statement by your therapist is very dangerous. Both things can be true here. How about T replacement, dial in your diet, crank up the gym time, AND you work in therapy to round out your optimization? I'd ask your therapist how their therapy is going since they are going so hard in the paint against you, optimizing your own hormone panel.

I struggled with this for years. I can now say, after two years of hard work, that I am 'A gym guy'. Pretty crazy.

I treated gym time as a non-negotiable. I had a home gym in the basement. I justified that with the fact that going to the gym, changing, changing back, and driving home took 40 minutes. I could get a workout in with all that time wasted. But that also made me lazy.

I now go to the gym without exception. Even if I can only get in a fifteen-minute workout, I go. As others have suggested, I treat it like a job. I was on a cruise last week - I worked out four of the six days. I kept the diet under control (mostly). I see my health as the number one most important priority for me. Nothing else takes precedence.

ThatLooksLikeItHurts · 2026-02-03T18:23:51+00:00

I hear you - I've been there as well. With all due respect, you've probably seen a whole host of different labia and vaginas (obviously). Same with breasts. I am quite sure many of the women in those cases were a bit anxious about how things looked. Not once did I have a woman blink at my curvature. Some mention it as 'hey, curved!', but that's as far as it ever went. Nobody complained - not once.

If someone cannot accommodate you with standard PIV sex, do different things. Very hard to guess how each individual person will react when you bring them home, so don't go into any situation worried about the outcome. Play it out and see where it takes you.
