Can rope be used for wrapping?

I don’t know what tension means or why vacuum pumping or circular wrapping with rope would not count as tension.

In what essential way, if any, would rope be different than an ace bandage wrap?

Tension is when you pull on something (dick). Stretching, hanging and extenders are tension techniques. Edit: pumping is also a tension technique.

Compression is when you push on something (dick). Squeezing is also compression.

Wrapping is a compression function, but wrapping is typically used as a protective means for a tension activity. Meaning you wrap your glans before attaching the vacuum cap to start extending/stretching/adding tension on your penis. The wrap is lightly compressed to hold it in place and thus hold the cap from slipping off when tension is applied.

I don’t think rope would be a good wrapping material.

But wouldn’t rope be compression and tension? It does stretch it.

32 has explained it well. What is your goal with the rope? Protection or stress? Stress can be strategically applied for either elongation or expansion.

To act as an extender. It’s a lot easier than using an extender, and the strap on my extender broke.

Squeezing/compressing your dick does provide a small amount of elongation (in a different direction than the compression) but this is not stretching nor is tension involved.

Sorry, I have tried 3 times to write a response which makes sense in a couple of paragraphs and does not turn into a materials science lecture but I am unable to. Let me think on it and see if I can do a better job of explaining in another post.

But my penis definitely gets elongated from flacid length to erect length by wrapping with rope.

Your penis can get longer from lengthening the ligaments and by tissue growth from cellular replication. Both of these are promoted by stretching, i.e., placing the penis in tension. I dont know how ligaments could be squeezed and squeezing penis tissue does not lead to tissue growth.

Squeezing your flaccid penis is somewhat like squeezing a ballon. It may create a small and temporary (while compressed) elongation of your penis, but it is not permanent. You’re just moving fluid and soft tissue around.
