Clamping, how tight is too tight

I would like to direct attention to this post by the threadstarter
zmike - Any other 18, 19 year olds who PE

If you only started PE in November, you ARE technically a newbie. Which means you have only BARELY crossed the minimum 3 month period for starting Clamping.

Are you sure you’re not rushing things a little?

:confused:

There is a self-adhering ACE bandage which is some kind of crinkly mesh material. Yea, that would be uncomfortable. But the ACE bandage I use is the old-fashioned kind; it’s really soft. Four to six layers of that stuff is like a baby’s bottom—a fat baby’s bottom!

Having experimented with several different materials, including various wrist wraps, I still prefer the original-style Ace bandages.

So far, I like using the ACE bandages. They don’t irritate my skin that much, and I like how it sticks to itself. But then again, I haven’t used any other material yet. My walmart doesn’t have the infamous magnetic wrap, so I’m hoping CVS or Walgreens will.

girtha,

I dont get it. I thought the point of clamping was to give you a mega tight engorged erection, like doing a 10 minute ulis. How is it still efective if you loose the boner??

I bought some cable clamps to try out as well and tried a couple of different things.
Although they are not a part of my regular routine as of yet, just a couple of thoughts.

I believe somewhere BG ? Or in clamping 101 , someone advised using a mouse pad material cut up for a wrap.
I cut strips and super glued them into the clamp so that I never have to use a wrap.
Please wait for superglue to dry if anyone else tries this, you wouldn’t want a cable clamp super glued to the unit.

Also the clicking sound as I’m sure many of you already realize can be avoided by pulling back on the lever as you ‘click’ tighter or release. Just pull the lever hard and you can move the clamp to any spot without hearing the clicking sound if you need privacy.

If anyone is not wrapping to clamp or hasn’t tried the mouse pad I definitely recommend it. I purchased just a plain black mouse pad at Wal-Mart and it is very comfortable when glued inside. The other thing about having it glued is you don’t have to worry about misplacing your wrap it is always with the clamp

Then you just have to worry about misplacing the clamp ;)

Man, I just don’t know anymore how to explain this. it is not the clamped erection that we are interested in, it is the engorgement. You have to get an erection to get the engorgement, but once you have it clamped off, the erection can subside, but the engorgement (swell) will not. In fact it will continue to swell until you pop the clamp and squeeze out the stale blood. Even after squeezing out the old blood the swell will be bigger than it was before you clamped a few times. For me it takes three ten minute sets before the swell will stay. I’m sure this in different with every dick, though. I know I’ve explained this a gazillion times in the clamping thread, and probably done a better job.

But if it continues to swell, how can it not be an erection? I must be way off. I will search for that clamping thread. Thanks BG

I got a problem here because my erection subsides and then blood just flows away. The clamp is set very tight. Maybe it’s my wrap. I’m using ordinary sport wrap (used when injuries). Unfortunately I have not found those wrist wraps you are talking about.

Motivated,
Thanks for the info. I looked at hose clamps, but I’m not sure about using a nutdriver in bed. I’ll look again and maybe try to modify one for faster installation. I do use plumbing pipe insulation as my wrap. It’s black foam that fits around a pipe. I like it because it pops on fast. I start to lose my bone quickly when I pull out the equipment and I have to act fast. I guess I don’t turn myself on like I used to…

BG
It is the clicking that freaks my wife out, and she has made clear she doesn’t want to see or her it again, although she knows I still do it. I’m all ears for any info on a quieter clamp.

Thanks

figaro,

A long ways back, I think Big Girtha mentioned crazy-gluing a dime or penny into the slot of a hose clamp to make a thumb key. I wonder if that idea would work with epoxy or similar material?

The tissue expands girthwise, even if you are no longer erect. Having the erection gets the blood in there. When you clamp, the blood stays; at least, most of it does. Try it and you’ll see. Also, see my comments in the next post below.

Are you using a Cable Clamp or a hose clamp? I was never able to get the Cable Clamps very tight. They would always break if I tightened them too much. But the hose clamps can be tightened as much as you like. With the hose clamp, I never lose my erection. I tighten the hose clamp as far as is comfortable; then I wait a few moments and tighten it some more (again, as far as is comfortable); then I wait a few more moments and tighten it yet more; etc. I could be reading the dullest book for the next ten minutes or so, but I never lose my erection. I suspect that your erection subsides because you are not clamping tightly enough. But then, as BG points out, this is not necessarily a problem, as long as you still have tissue expansion.

I use the same method. It works like a champ.

The nut drivers are fast, and quiet! Just keep it on the side away from your wife. If she wakes up, stick it under you butt.

Sorry to hear that. Ever try counseling! :)
