Do either of you have any suggestions to explain how you overcame this problem, or any ideas?
Bam: This is interesting. I think you are the first who has brought this up at least in this thread. I personally gain anywhere from 1/2” to 3/4” temporary girth during an aggressive clamping session. There is no doubt that most of this girth is lymphatic fluid buildup that accumulates between the tunica and the skin. I know this because after a day or so if I don’t clamp or pump it slowly goes away and I’m back down to my normal girth. However, I do feel that the tunica is also being enlarged by the abnormal blood engorgement we experience during extreme clamping. I don’t know this for certain, but it just feels this way to me. It simply feels like more is being stretched here than skin. If you are familiar with vacuum pumping you are aware that it takes lymphatic fluid a while to accumulate, and when it does the accumulation is in all the weak areas of the penis, like around the coronal ridge and underneath the frendlum giving us the typical doughnut effect. Whereas with clamping it has been my experience to find that the blood engorgement is right away, and even the fluid buildup that occurs later in the session is more evenly distributed along the shaft giving the entire shaft a false fluid girth that is more uniform and not as lumpy as the build up that occurs with over pumping or the baseball bat shape that occurs with over hanging. Also, like dangle said, my clamped flaccid girth after three ten minute sets is considerably fatter than my unclamped erection before clamping. This is why I feel the erection can subside once engorgement is accomplished and benefits can still be ascertained.
