flaccid stretch
Is a normal penis supposed to stretch to full length easily (the same you would get if you used a VED)? I see a big difference between just pulling and using VED (maybe like 2 inch), does that mean hard flaccid?

Re: flaccid stretch
Some men have stretched flaccid lengths identical to their max or VED size. Others do not, and that isn't a bad thing because it doesn't matter. I do believe a lot of men think their stretched size is smaller because they don't understand how you can safely put some max stretching force to your dick without breaking anything. But several studies have indicated men with both larger or smaller sizes compared to stretched, so if yours is different there's nothing to worry about.

VED length will always be significantly longer than if you just pull on your penis. That is because the VED is not only pulling your penis forward the base of the tube is pushing your tissue at the base of the penis back. The more belly or fat pad you have the more dramatic the difference.

I don’t have any fat so was wondering if I have hard flaccid. I hope the implant length is closer to what I can get with VED.

Won't happen. The VED produces a fake length. Ie your dick is being pulled out.

That said what the surgeon will do with dilators is going to be more than you're probably willing to do with your hand...

Is the length using VED exaggerated? How else can I predict what the best implant length would be?

Whatever temporary changes the VED might cause are not fake or exaggerated. They are temporary. Your exact size moments after a VED is irrelevant. What matters - if you were 7" in your 20s and then years of ED and aging makes you 6" in your 50s, months of VED treatment will repair and recover the size you lost from the fibrosis that damaged your dick tissues and will successfully return you to 7" (well, maybe not 100% recovered for the most serious long-term damages over multiple decades, but undoubtedly for everyone it truly results in a healthier penis than it is now).
VEDs allow the surgeon to give you an implant size that best meets your natural erection.
This one I can double to two authoritative sources.

Dr. Hakky citing these doctors:
Sellers, T., Dineen, M., Salem, E. A., & Wilson, S. K. (2013). Vacuum preparation, optimization of cylinder length and postoperative daily inflation reduces complaints of shortened penilelength following implantation of inflatable penile prosthesis. Advances in Sexual Medicine, 3(1), Article 1. https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinfo ... erid=27133
Read it all and it should be all you need to know about VEDs and implsnts..
