2) How long did you clamp for until you recognised a noticeable gain I.e I use my index and thumb to wrap round my unit and when I do they just about meet, so was there a time when there was a noticeable gap between your index finger and thumb to the point where you said to yourself.”wow it has gotten thicker”?
3) I clamp by wrapping a sock around the base and holding it. It feels like it is working perfectly fine because when I touch my unit on the glans or midshaft, it feels pressurized or hard in other words. So do you think the way I am doing it is okay?
4) At the moment I am doing 5 minutes of clamping almost every day.. About 5 days a week. Should I increase it to 7, 8, 9 or 10 minutes soon? Or is 5 minutes standard?
5) Does warming up make a huge difference in expansion?
6) I have read that edging is great with clamping, and also ballooning. Can someone explain to me how they are done because I can’t find out how.
The most I’ve gained from clamping/jelqing and edging is 0.225” meg so not a huge amount however my flaccid size and horniness levels made very pronounced increases. I started edging for short periods of maybe 5-8 mins and making sure I had long warm ups (10 mins with a heated rice pad) and I would edge throughout. Never ejaculating, especially when clamped.
The 0.225” girth gain took me between 6-9 months and, if I’m honest, probably came from my increased sex drive coupled with my kegels as much as the clamping. Not that I’m knocking clamping, I think it can be a super, super effective exercise in the long term but it needs to be approached cautiously, you need to build up to longer times slowly and you have to warm up and warm down religiously, without fail!! (Please heed this last bit). Btw, warming up is hugely under-rated. On my rest days I’ve often done long warm ups and no more and you can see quite a bit of expansion in your flaccid size because of it which then seems to lead to increased sex drive. It’s just one big, exciting cycle really that feeds the other ;)
I’ve read enough success stories to know that clamping really works but it’s so focused on girth that it takes a long time to really kick in and give you very measurable increases. Length is far easier to gain and, dare I say, less dangerous?
Now, to further answer your questions as best as I can, I clamp with a strip of velcro which I’ve manually lined with a strip of bandage (to stop the velcro itching and scratching the skin) and I wrap it in place when flaccid making sure it’s not overly tight but tight enough to cause blood flow restriction once I’m hard. As I get more conditioned (I’ve been away from PE for a while) I will increase the tightness with which I clamp in the aim of getting more expansion and then an increase in natural girth. If anyone’s in doubt I could put up pictures on what this strip looks like?
I like this type of clamp because I know it is not metal or anything that will take long to release should I feel the pressure building too much and I can increase/decrease my tightness with each set without any issues plus it’s easy on my skin (only with the bandage strip). It’s also very cheap and doesn’t look too suspicious if a visitor happened to stumble across it.. I hope it doesn’t ;)
My current clamping routine is 10-15 mins warm up with rice pad as hot as my penis can possibly handle
15-20 min clamping set (not fully erect the whole time. I will often let the erection subside and do a few bends while it’s plump but not erect and a few jelqs too then after a couple mins bring it back to full erection)
I’ll do 2-3 sets of these 3 or 4 times a week depending on my work schedule
This is in addition to my stretching and jelqing routine and kegels, although I’ve yet to kegels in a structured routine just when the mood takes me or I remember to do so.
When clamping I can go from 6” meg normal erection unclamped to 6.25” when clamped and I’m aiming to get to 7” meg un-clamped in the next year or two but I feel it will take a lot of focus, dedication and sacrifice (time mainly)
So there you have it, my attempt to answer some of your questions and hopefully help you out. Remember to warm up as best as you can, build up the clamp pressure and duration slowly and don’t do anything stupid while erected and clamped as it will almost certainly break your dick!! Otherwise have fun, be persistent and the rest will follow.
