"The Base"

[allgood]

Hey guys,

Following my thread about "the ring," I wanted to discuss my other main aesthetic concern following my first round of PMMA: the base.

Even moreso than the ring issue, my base looks totally fine in the flaccid state. But when erect, the PMMA is thrust outward and it is obvious from above where it stops. It also flares out slightly, likely because in the flaccid state it hits my groin area but in the erect state it is away from my body. Hope this is making sense.

In a way, it kind of looks like I have a prosthetic penis attached to my body because of the incompleteness of the base. Has anyone had this problem? Were you able to have your base successfully filled in?

also, there is a noticeable bump/nub where the PMMA stops/flares out at the base. I would be mad at myself for not massaging this, but I couldn't because it's right where the injection sites are.

I have the exact same bump/nub on the underside of my saft at the base. It almost feels like a small clump of PMMA on each side.

So far it isn't bugging me though and I kind of like it because this whole bigger penis thing is so hard to get into my head that its permanent... I find myself finding those little bumps every once and a while to reassure myself that this whole thing really is permanent. Lol.

In my progress report I noted an invisible yet palpable area just at the outside of the base of my shaft, and I described it as its own ring since it kind of encompassed a part of my shaft. For me it doesn't appear visible and I'd really have to scope it out to find it. It hasn't affected the function or aesthetics of my penis, but if it is a concern to any of you, I'd definitely call their office. I suspect allgood's theory is spot-on about not being able to massage it because of the entry holes. This may have allowed some of the PMMA to settle.

I'll be sure to mention this to them when I give them a call in the coming days.

I had the same with my FFT. It started about an inch up the shaft. Is there any PMMA at the base?

Mine is basically filled in up to where the scrotum begins on the sides and up farther toward the pubic bone in the middle. The major question for me is whether people have had pmma filled up to the pubic bone on the sides. This would basically solve my problem, but I don't know if there's some medical reason it can't be done. The area I'm talking about is between your groin and where the scrotum connects to the shaft on the sides (best seen/felt when your penis is stretched forward)

Allgood, I have the same thing. Curious if they can or not.

EP, very good to hear. When you said you had base work done, was it because of the situation I described (when erect, the PMMA looked like it stopped at the scrotum and didn't continue to the groin)? If so was that situation rectified?

Question for the vets of pmma;when receiving pmma near the base , if you have a bit of a fatpad.... Does the dr inject it near the bone? I for example have less obvious length when I pull my penis because of looser skin. I was wondering what the doc would do because I'm sure I would have an increase in flaccid length if he injected it near or closer to the bone. Thanks all

Question to all ...

Wouldn't it make sense if your base is somewhat tapered? Not all women will be able to take a really thick base and I've had the experience that some women prevent you from going all the way in if your too thick. So I'm thinking it would be best if your mid-shaft was thicker than the base. Or maybe the entire shaft be the same size... I am just trying to find out which would give her the optimal amount of pleasure while not appearing cone shaped.

Very interesting remarks here gentlemen. IMO the base is the area where pmma application needs to be refined.

As some of you know I had 2 rounds of pmma w/DrCasavntes. I'm very pleased w/the product, the doctor and his team. I believe some of us may, by virtue of our natural contour/dimensions may be more prone to certain issues than others. Eg: the ring issue. W/circumcised men-note this seems to only be an issue for some depending apparently upon the elasticity of the shaft skin in comparison to the skin which is past the circumcision line, proximal to the glands...this skin is thinner, less tough and easier to stretch.

If there is a significant difference in the quality of the skin @ the circumcision line this may lend itself to the "ring" issue.

I believe a careful evaluation, or perhaps more accurately, EVEN greater evaluation of the skin by the doctor prior to the procedure is in order w/circumcised men in order to gauge the amount and distribution of product, to ensure an optimal result.

I am circumcised but did not experience any issues w/a ring. I attribute this to having had skin that was even and somewhat loose probably from pumping for a year. This underscores my point in previous posts that pumping safely does in fact help prepare you for a procedure such as pmma or fft.

I intend to go for another round to refine some of the areas toward the base-ALL around the base that others have mentioned in this thread...@ the penile supra pubic junction (beginning of base- from top- where pubic hair grows), sides, AND underside of penis.

I believe administration of the product must be refined in this area - transitioning from the base out to the body....so there is a gradual blending out from the penis to surrounding areas. This is essential in my case and perhaps more in cases of "growers". Such as I. More focus needs to be on blending at the base than on contour of the shaft b/c growers have less flaccid shaft length to address.

I believe the pmma must be deposited as deeply as possible, while remaining mindful of safety of course. W/regard to safety, I respect DrCasavantes' sensibilities. His knowledge of the anatomy is amazing, (specific especially to his specialty), and he respects the limits in terms of the amount of pmma which should/should not be used.

My comment re:Casavantes' knowledge of the anatomy may sound silly or obvious but it is important...not all doctors are created equally, it doesn't mean they necessarily know enough to qualify them to inject this product safely. One REALLY has to know what they're doing! And thank God he does!

Please excuse any typo/grammatical errors- my posts tend to be riddled w/them from typing too fast and not double checking my language!

Take Care all!

That's a very interesting remark, especially as I'm a grower soon to undergo a first PMMA treatment. However I wonder if possibly this base injection you recommend won't act like a fat layer, potentially reducing our non bone pressed erect length? Personally I'd rather have direct pubic bone contact during the more intense moments of intercourse. Wouldn't your recommendation reduce that contact?

A recent copy of an email correspondence between you and another member suggested that you were "retired" from forum activity, but this seems to be untrue (at least I hope) lol.

The new PhalloBoards is coming up soon and we'd hope to have you there, even if it means once every few months, to get a perspective much desired by the community.

Whatever the case, good luck with your progress on the PMMA.

I think I agree with Uptown, I would prefer a penis which was wider in the middle. I think it would give greater stimulation to the woman. Imagine a penis the exact same girth from top to bottom that was completely smooth without the slightest ridge or lump. Once you have inserted it she wouldn't be able to feel you thrusting in and out. Whereas greater width mid shaft would have the effect of continually spreading the vaginal walls. Just a theory, what does everyone think of that ?

where can you see the pixs of everybody ?
