Red dots

I’ve been at this for almost a year, so not sure if I still qualify as a nube.

Anyway, I did the newbie routine for 4 months and moved on to hanging and clamping which I have been at now for almost 8 months. I have started to really slow down as my EQ has dropped a bit and I’m not really seeing gains.

I have noticed something recently that I am concerned about. I’ve had red dots show before which, after reading the forum, I consider normal. Especially after jelqing or clamping sessions that are vigorous. However, recently, If I clamp or all or jelq mildly, I’m getting lots of red dots all over my shaft. Is this a sign of something? Declining vein quality? Circulation? I would think id become more conditioned to this type of injury, not less.

Any lifestyle changes recently? I used to notice if I’d had a few days of heavy smoking, I’d get red spots much more easily.

Had you recently been on a small break and then began again? The red spots always get worse for me if I’ve had a break. Then, after a few days of PEing, I stop getting them when the skin has adapted to the punishment again :) .

My opinion has always been that red dots are not normal, rather they are tiny clots caused by tears in capillaries and to be avoided. So called “micro-tears” are something else entirely.

Cut down on whatever is causing that if you can figure it out. You’ll be better off, and have to take less time off from constructive PE.

Hey firegoat - I’m probably in a stage of drinking more rather then drinking less. I go through phases.what can I say. Not sure if id call it a lifestyle change, but definitely a point in the pendulum where I’m being more bad then good.

Krowax - I didn’t really take an intentional break, but my motivation is really really low. I was working hard for a long time and all I have to show for it is an uglier dick. Discoloration, more veins, a bit of desensitization.my gains are mild at best. As my EQ has dropped, I’ve started taken it much slower. I really cut back on clamping after I noticed hard veins.again!! Lots of hard veins at the base of my dick which have since cleared.but I figured I must be over doing it.

Acovet8 - I can’t imagine red dots are good either. I tend to lean more to toward ruptured capillaries rather then clots.but I’m not vascular surgeon, so what do I know. I’ve had similar dots on my face after puking my guts out.

I don’t know fellas - lately I’m feeling more like I’m killing my dick rather then making it bigger. I think I’m gonna take a super long deacon break.maybe till 2012 and then re-evaluate. I wish this shit was easier.

The red dots could eventually turn into discoloration permanently
