Clamping: explain "buildup"

I have heard that “fluid buildup” is an indication to watch for when clamping. But I haven’t seen it described. Are we talking about you take the clamp off and you have a release of backed-up precum?

Where’s the forum guideline issue here TenInch? :-k

‘Fluid buildup’ refers to lymph fluid that can build up beneath the shaft skin after prolonged pumping or clamping. Best avoided, so keep sessions succinct and pressures tolerable.

I obviously have no idea. First I was going to tell him, then I thought “hey, lets post the search thingy” and then I posted the completely wrong thingy tihi ;)

Aaaah that would be :search: ;)

Would I be correct to say that fluid buildup is more of an issue with uncircumcised men?

I am uncircumcised and I get fluid buildup in my foreskin if I PE too much.

Any circumcised men have issues with fluid buildup?

I do NOT get significant fluid build up from only clamping. I cannot imagine how one could.

Why is fluid buildup bad? I’ve asked several clampers and no one could provide an answer…

I’m not an experienced clamper/pumper but I’m wondering the same thing. What is lymph fluid, why does it build up and how is that bad?

The fluid or lymph build up is caused by weakening or damaging the capillaries inside the penile tissues which changes the osmotic pressure of the capillary and interstitial area in the tissue and the lymphatic fluid will flow into the capillaries. The tissue will now have fluid build up.

Clubber that’s what I was going to say!

And this is BAD because changed osmotic pressure does cause damage and the more it happens the more the tissue becomes weakened thereby allowing it to be weakened further etc. Ultimately you end up with small areas that will be extremely prone to injury.

So if you have fluid build up you are more prone to injury? Does taking a time off and letting it heal still leave you more prone to injury.

I’ve had the same problem (I think). I’m circumcised, and sometimes my glans puff up, almost like a donut. Since I started clamping, it’s happened a couple times, it kind of hardens up around the glans, and there is a slight bit of pain if I touch around the area. I’m taking a few days off, the swelling has gone down, so hopefully it’s all better.

It depends how damaged it is. If you’ve just done it a couple of times it will return to normal within a few days and should be okay. Give it a few days more to be sure if you like. With PE, it’s always better to give it more time rather than less to heal.

Fluid buildup only becomes an issues after repeatedly doing it, so that the the size of the buildup becomes bigger than it was originally due to the weakening tissue.

I have my doubts. It’s quite difficult for air pumpers to pump with NO edema. It happens, even at low pressures. If what you are saying is true, these guys would have significantly “weak” penises. People like Clubber for example should be getting injured more often - and I don’t think that is statistically the case here.
