Basing one theory on another theory (read: unsure how it works) makes it very questionable. Look at bodybuilding. Other than progressive resistance, nobody is sure how it happens although there are tons of theories. Just look at all the different approaches (e.g. Periodization, high intensity, high volume, hardgainer, etc.). Has one approach ever been demonstrated to be more effective than the other? I’m not convinced. What is the optimal frequency/week and number of sets per body part to ensure maximal size and/or strength gains? Again, it’s not clear. With respect to the mechanisms involved it’s even less clear.
My sense after reading some of the PE articles is the same with PE. I’m leaning towards a somewhat lower intensity (less pressure and/or less stretch/tension) and perhaps a somewhat more frequent approach. This is due to safety. It is also less likely to lead to overtraining. If I’m constantly getting rock-hard erections, which I have been lately, I’m guessing I’m on the right path. I’m also sure that this will take many months or years of committed effort to get very noticeable gains. Kinda like bodybuilding. The first few months everybody puts on some muscle. Afterwards it becomes a lot more difficult to put on much more muscle.
