Today, It appears that I have gained 0.7 in. girth through clamping.

Granted, I started at the low end of the girth scale (at 4.3 in.), but I’m glad that I have finally broken the 5.0 in. girth mark. But first, a bit about my journey…

I started PEing with the newbie routine back in May ‘10. While I was always satisfied with my length (6.69 in. BPEL), I was pretty insecure about my girth (4.3 in.), as I thought my dick was skinny and thin. At first, I was interested in gaining both length and girth , and my goal was a bit ridiculous and unrealistic in my opinion (something like 8.5 x 6.0). That goal could probably be done if I resorted to hanging and other extreme techniques in the future, but I didn’t want to resort to such methods or devices (I’m more of a low-tech guy if that makes any sense). I was aiming pretty high, and while I documented some length gains with the newbie routine (I broke the 7.0 inches in length mark at one point), the gains I made started to disappear. As you can imagine, I was extremely disappointed. In this fit of frustration, I decided to reexamine both my goals and my routine. I then decided to just concentrate on girth and to be happy with my current length or whatever length gains came along the way. This is when I read into and discovered clamping. It sounded extremely risky, but I decided to try it anyway since I thought the newbie routine conditioned my dick enough to attempt such a risky technique. I started clamping sometime in December ‘10.

My routine basically consists of clamping every weekday, from Monday to Friday, with the weekends being the rest days. I clamp in the shower, and I use a sock as a wrap. I’ve been clamping every weekday from December to July (sounds extreme, I know, but I’d do anything to gain girth, just so long as I took safety precautions). At first, I started only doing one 5 minute set of clamping, with a 5 minute warm-up and a 5 minute warm-down before and after the set. I basically stimulate myself before I put the clamp on to become fully erect, then when I clamp, I continue to stay erect by continuing this stimulation and kegeling. Gradually, as time went on, I increased this set to 7 minutes, then to 10 minutes and then finally to 12 minutes.

I definitely see and feel a difference in my dick before I PE’d and after I started PEing; I just wish I had taken a picture of what my dick looked like before I started clamping because I feel like my mind is playing tricks on me. I mean, it looks thicker, and my mind knows this, and so do my hands. Last night, I measured my girth 3 different times (I do it with a thin strip of paper), and the three different measurements came out to 4.64, 5.07 and 5.07 MSEG (respectively). I think I’m plagued by that underlying fear that PE isn’t working, and that my routine is all for naught. I guess I will continue my routine and measure again 4 months down the road. I don’t know if I’ll ever reach my goal of 6.5 in. MSEG (I don’t even think I want to be that thick, I just have it there for motivation), but I guess I’ll continue clamping until I’m satisfied with my girth and it actually registers in my mind so that it is completely convinced that I have gained.

Congratulation bro, Very good job, Keep going,

Nice. Persistence is key.

Congratulations man, keep going.^^

OP, I’m in the same position as you with me being only 4.25 in girth and 6.7 length but for the time being I’m going for length until I’m 7.5. Even though I badly want girth still like a little more length and apparently it’s harder to gain length after gaining girth.

Id killed to be 5”girth. Congrats

for some reason while clamped (super tight) my erection still fades, and to keep hard and veiny, i masturbate while clamping, this keeps my dick engorged beautifully and i love the look and feel of it. Is it normal to have to stroke your dick while clamping to maintain the erection? I was under the impression clamping would trap the blood in there so your boner just stays there..

From reading on it, I think it is. How risky is clamping btw? This site’s description of it says “high risk factor” but I often pump a lot of blood into my penis and usually e.g. let it go out the opening in my boxers, which keeps pressure there. Does it differ much from that? I think I’ll give it a go once I’ve done 2 - 3 months of the beginner’s routine but I want an appreciation of its riskiness.

Perfectly normal , all a clamp is doing is allowing more pressure to build than you would get with a normal erection

The primary source of expansion is still your natural erection though so do whatever it takes to maintain it.

I’m my opinion clamping a flaccid dick will do nothing but I’m sure plenty will disagree with me.

When clamping, I have to “lend a helping hand”, so I would say it’s normal.

Well done, sir! :thumbs:

I thought from your thread title that you were going to say you’d gained 0.7” girth in a single day :D

Well done! :)

Did I understand it correctly that you only did one set of 12 minutes per day?

I want to try clamping one last time in the future. Perhaps in 2012. Clamping always killed my erections in the past.

I think tha BrainDrain started with 4.5” MSEG and now he is somewhere around the 6” MSEG mark so I think it is possible.

I don’t think clamping is as high risk as people make it out to be. I’ve been using a metal cock ring for 5+ years and normally fuck 20 mins at a time. 3 - 5 times a week for sex. I’ve been clamping since I’ve been here on and off of course. The only injures I’ve ever sustained from pe is from stretching and hanging. 

Huge, could you tell me your starting stats both on length and on girth? your current stats are HUGE and 5 years it is a lot of time.

7.5 BPEL by 5.25 Girth.

And the thing is I’ve never taken stretching or jelqing serious and only hung for maybe 3 months my length gains have come from clamping. I swear by clamping and always will I think it’s the one true PE that anyone can do and that will work. Building yourself up for hanging is serious shit imo and is no joke. As long as you slowly prep your dick for clamping imo theres nothing wrong with it. You just have to keep yourself stimulated with porn. But I’ve never once in my life been desensitized by porn, I could jack off all day and still fuck my wife before I go to bed. If you want to see gains where it counts clamp. Ask any women and she will take extra girth over length and day. I think if you’re 7 inch’s NBPEL you’re good and that girth is more important. Other guys on here might have a different opinion but that’s mine.
