finally tried hanging last night, questions

I tried hanging last night using similar method like Saiyan22. I use a pipe repair clamp.

First of all, the process was extremely challenging as my penis reacts instantly to any touching! ARrrrrr.. so I struggled for at least 40 minutes before I could put the whole thing on. I was getting semi all the time.

Secondly, after 10 minutes of hanging, I noticed my unit shrunk instead of plump flaccid. Is this normal? Or, did I use too much weight?

I used 5lb.. to start.. probably too much.

Any suggestion on the “turtling effect” after hanging?

I don’t know much about hanging but I think the recommended starting weight is 2.5 lbs. Maybe next time just do it for 5 minutes and work your way up from there. What was your unit like a couple hours after the set?

Propably too much weight, my quess.

I was just testing out my hanging device. I only did one set.

I didn’t get the full stretched look after my hanging like some of the hardcore hangers do though.

I remember reading Saiyan’s posts about how he hung nicely after a hanging session… mine turtled.. ouch!

Everything that happened was quite natural, a lot of us started with 5lbs, it all depends on your comfort factor. I often hang with a semi and this is no problem, you will turtle after a session this is quite natural. There is nothing to fear, you do not need to circumvent this natural reaction. The penis is just doing what it is biologically programmed to do; and that is to protect itself and heal. It retracts for the healthful warmth provided by the body.

Thanks for the advice. I will try more set and see. My penis is not used to hanging.. I think it was to do with the tightness of the hanging device too.

Part of the learning curve!

It’s very difficult to get a fully flaccid unit for hanging right now for me.

5 pounds is most definitely too heavy if you ask me. How long have you been conditioning your penis for, anyways? I just recently started hanging after following the newbie routine for some time. First week started with 2.5 pounds, the next week 3 pounds, which I’m going to stay at for another 3 weeks I think. Better to stress the ligaments only as much as they need to be in order to fatigue, you really don’t want to overdo it.

As for preventing turtling, use an ADS for a few hours after you’ve hung, just make sure to take breaks and check the glans for coldness or discoloration.

Oh yeah, and if you can keep heat applied to your penis while hanging, it should be less likely to want to turtle in on you as it will already have the warmth it seeks. Good luck!
