Mel's
Project (My Progress & Results) Below I provide as
accurate of an accounting of my progress as possible. This section is always "in
development", so check back for updates. _____________________________________________________________________________ >>>>>NEW as of 2
2008<<<<< Coronal Hug (inner skin hugging corona upon
erection) The below 2 pics
show my inner skin "hugging" my corona (sitting and standing) upon
a semi full erection. You can clearly see the delineation between
"inner" (pinkish) and "outer" (tan-ish) skin. This is the
first time (i think) that the inner skin has so "tightly" hugged
the corona (and stayed there!). I'm
still using my DILE (recently introduced a new version now), and it appears
to be (as intended) focusing tension on inner skin. _____________________________________________________________________________ >>>>>NEW as of 12
2006<<<<< animated gif of "3 types of
coverage" In the below
"gif" you will see that depending on how I "dress" my
glans, I have 3 types of coverage. If
I let for foreskin rollover the glans naturally, I have one type of coverage
("natural"); if I pull the foreskin forward, I have another type of
coverage ("pulled"); and if I "balloon" the foreskin
first and then set the skin in place, I have another type of coverage
("balloned").

2006<<<<< animated gif of "Gliding Action" In the below
"gif" you will see that I have more than enough skin to provide for
good "roll over." The
quality of the images (due to conversion to "gif") is not great,
but if you look carefully, you can follow a black line (my POE) as it travels
along the shaft as the skin retracts.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Mel's Project - Part I: Progress from 1997-2003 (for a PDF of
this report, please click here and download) In the below figure,
the progress (over the course of ~six years: 1997-2003) in terms of total
growth of shaft skin and various measures of "growth rates" for one
restorer (me, Mel Senior) is reviewed.
Restoration methods included Tape Rings, T-Tapes, Packing, Weights as
well as an internal expanding packing system (the DILE). Measurements of growth were made
periodically (using 2 different methods of measurement: Tape Strip vs
Cardboard Tube). Results show that
good growth only occurred when I was an "active" restorer (and not
taking "breaks") and that initial increases were due to a
"non-growth stretch" (~0.5 inches) of shaft skin; when a
restoration effort was stopped a "de-stretch" also occurred. Overall growth of shaft skin during this
period was ~5.25 inches with ~4.5 inches of this growth occurring during the
first year of restoration.
Interestingly, this increase in shaft skin perhaps
"released" ~1.4 inches of previously restricted erect penis shaft. Growth rates in shaft skin during periods
of intense/active restoration ("Restoration Effort Periods" –
REPs) ranged from ~0.061 to 0.135 inches per week. Tape Rings and T-Tapes appeared to focus
growth on the "below POE" (Point of Equilibrium) skin, while the
use of an internal expanding packing system (the DILE) appeared to focus
growth on the "above POE" skin (when used without a strap) or
balanced growth between "above POE" and "below POE" (when
used with a strap). The use of the
DILE (with a strap) resulted in a growth rate (when normalized to starting
skin length) of "above POE" skin that was ~2x faster than that of
"below POE" skin (~0.016 vs 0.006 in/wk/start inch). Additionally, increased growth rates with
increases in available shaft skin (i.e., "exponential growth") is
suggested by the available data, however this phenomena needs to be
investigated further. The data
contained within this report suggest that an internal expanding packing
system (the DILE) can help promote growth of the "above POE" skin
(which would include "inner skin").
