CLAMPING Everything You Ever Wanted To Know

Thanks upto7

Something I’ve been trying the last week which I’m really enjoying so far is being shared in this reply. The week before, I over did things a little with squeezes and such while clamped. A couple days later, my circumcision scar area had some scab like dotting around it and I also had some black, pin head sized spots on the right side of my penis which were similar in appearance. I decided I wanted to lighten things up a little with the intensity and also continue clamping.

So, what I’ve been doing for the last week is continuing with my usual clamping using two clamps at the base (I really don’t get anything near as much out of ONE clamp anymore) but with a new spin. I simply stay aroused and as engorged as possible during each set while doing kegels throughout the set. I have not totally figured out why yet, but I seem to be getting MORE out of these sets than when I do one handed squeezes, two handed squeezes, and bends. I’m also getting less spotting and discoloration. Perhaps the kegels are ‘pushing’ small amounts of blood into the penis while it is clamped? Just thought I would share and hopefully get some feed back since the main forum seems closed to new posts.

Does anyone clamp while leaning forward? I noticed that I get a bigger pump when I lean forward whilst clamped.

I do. I also mix it up a little. I’ll clamp standing and stick my rear out some, or sit down and bring my legs together. All three things vary the level of intensity while clamped.

I too experiment with this. I usually clamp while leaning backward or stand. Then sit down and lean a bit forward to get a more intense clamp but vary during my 10 minute session by leaning back every now and then.

I don’t get it why clamping would stop length gains. Is it because of the amount of girth growth that would occur or some kind of toughening of the tissues?

Yes, tissue toughens up supposedly. I’d start clamping a lot sooner if it weren’t like that, but this way I have to reach my length goal first.

So do any of you think that 10 mins of clamping after stretching is enough to make some gains while not toughening up the tissues too much? Or I really want to get to 8.25”nbp before I stop gaining length.

I would say if you’re goal is length to just avoid clamping, from what I can gather it does nothing for length soooooooooooo why do it if that is your goal?

If your wanting to obtain girth at same time that your seeking length then what your doing is fine but remember if you gain more girth then your hanging appliance, will need to change to accommodate that. Clamping is for girth, hanging is for length. Length gains from clamping is incidental to the reason for girth work which is greater girth.

Yes I do manual stretching and clamping for girth but trying to figure out how much clamping I can do that won’t hinder my length gains or “toughen” my tissues too much to gain length. I only want about .5” more girth and I’d be done with that and about .75” more length. Should I do the 3-10 min sets of clamping or should I cut down the time?

Kind of hard to say since it depends on what kind of stretching you’re focusing on, ligament or tunica. People always say that length is harder to gain with thicker girth, and it’s all based on anecdotal evidence as far as I’m aware, but if your stretching is all about the ligaments, which, anatomically speaking, shouldn’t really be affected by greater girth, then length gains shouldn’t be affected. But this is all just guess-work.

So far in my clamping adventures I’ve found that I get better and more consistent expansion if I split my sets. I do 3-4 sets of 5-10 min (depending on EQ) but I tend to split them up into two or three sessions during the day if I find the time. Right now I’m doing some moderate jelqing (about 75 reps) before a set or two of 8 min clamping twice a day and my expansion is immediate and consistent. When I’m clamped I can no longer close my thumb and index finger around the girth just under the head and that is a mind-boggling experience. So for me it doesn’t seem to be a questions of less is more or more is more but rather moderate and frequent is more.

I come back to this thread every now and then, and every time I do I learn something new

So, what I’ve learned this time

1. It’s better to do multiple sets (4+ perhaps) throughout the day.
2. Stay erect if you’re going for short intense works outs; let it subside if you want to do longer, more frequent workouts.
3. Longer and more frequent seems to be more effective for growth.
4. 2 clamps CAN be better than 1. I had read somewhere about using 3 clamps, but I don’t think I’m ready for that personally.
5. If you’re stretching ligs then girth work doesn’t matter too much.
6. The general rule still seems to be 10 min sets.

I do have some questions as well, though

1. What are people using for wraps these days? I don’t think they sell those wrist wraps with the magnets at any of the stores around here. I’ve been using this cloth material that came with my static stretcher. It seems to work ok, I don’t get very sore and it’s sewn together so it’s pretty thick. But, I’ve been reading that people wrap up a sizeable amount of their shaft when clamping. I wanna do it the way everyone else does - at least when it comes to wrapping.
2. If anyone has any ideas about this Bulge at base from clamping , I’d appreciate some input!!

Thanks, brothers. There’s always something new to learn.

Let me start off by saying that I JUST got into clamping. I’m 5 months into PE and am going to be doing very light clamping for a month (at most 3 2-5 minute sessions).

How do I know when I achieved expansion? Will I achieve any expansion at all with sets of around 2-5 minutes? I go into the clamp at 70-80% erection and subside to maybe 60% and lightly stroke it to maintain a little above that. At around 60% erection level outside of the clamp, my MSEG is 4.75. So I would imagine if in the clamp im 5” I have achieved expansion. But if I’m wrong can someone clarify that for me?

Also, I am extremely comfortable in the clamp with about 4 teeth still left to click. Should I just leave it at that, or go one or two clicks more?

At Beever: I’m using coban tape for my wrap. You can find it at any medical supply store and a roll costs like 2 bucks. I want to says it 3/4-1 inch in thickness. I cut a two foot piece off and make an even wrap. Its very comfortable.

Yes you have achieved expansion if you’ve gained 1/4” of girth from the starting set to any set that shows growth.

How many sets did it take for you to get that expansion?

You’ll find that your greatest expansion comes in the 3 or 4th set. Sometimes longer but that’s usual.

Of course with short sets like your doing you may not get the expansion that your capable of, so you might have to do more sets to get the results your looking for.
