Or maybe even to tie a piece of soft cloth tightly around the base of the penis. Any thoughts on this is appreciated.
The clamp you’re seeing is usually sold under the brand name Cable Clamp . It’s available at most home improvement stores in the US, and there are many posts here where people elsewhere in the world ask where it can be found. Do a search for cable clamp. Or, I also just saw a lot of good hits searching hose clamp.
A seminal thread on clamping is here: CLAMPING Everything You Ever Wanted To Know
I believe there are discussions within that thread about alternatives to cable clamps. I’ve tried all sorts of clamp variations — hose clamps, turnkey clamps, cable clamps… These days I use a cable clamp to intensify jelqing, and I use an Air Clamp for ocassional girth work.
I’ve never had any success tying a piece of cloth around the base. It never feels comfortable enough, or as convenient as a cable clamp or similar device. If you do it, just make sure you can untie it quickly; and like anything else, don’t clamp under the influence of drugs, alcohol, stupidity, or all three.
