Clamping Methods

I am very interested in every ones clamping methods. Just to find out what the general consensus is on this. Especially on the subject of erection levels, wrap types, type of clamp, tightness of clamp, warm up method, rest period length and method and of course any theories you may have, and gains made
Big Girtha talks of clamping off an erection, and then letting it subside but letting the engorgement remain. Where as Aristocane used to maintain erection throughout his clamped set. <— This area most interests me. I shall post my answers below.

Errection Levels: Personally I perfer to maintain the errection throughout my routine, as I find this fatigues my penis far more. I can usually do 3 sets of roughly 15 minutes clamped, twice a day. Anything more and I see a doghnut start to form.

Wrap: Started out using nothing trying to follow Drilla9’s example, but I have too much extra PE skin to do this. So now im using about 10 inches of ACE bandage material.

Type of Clamp: Cable Clamps, 2 red ones. I may need to purchase some extra ones though. I usually start the first set with 1 clamp, second with 2 clamps, and the third with 2 clamps, and use my hand to further increase pressue.

Tightness of clamp: I can squeeze a cable clamp 100% shut around my unit. So I figure this is the best setting.

Warm-up: Rice sock, 5 minutes before… use it during my rest periods and a 5 minute cool down with it, (session is so long the sock requires reheating twice or three times)

Rest period: Each rest between clamped sessions, is about a minute long. Squeeze all old blood out of my unit, wait for 20 seconds, and jelq in some new fresh blood. Apply light heat to warm it up abit if its slightly cooler than expected.

Theory: I subscribe to Aristocane’s plastic deformation theory largely, my routine is mainly based around his routine. Im’ trying to follow in the footsteps of a master

Gains: No measurements yet, but definately even after only 3 weeks. A much more noticable flaccid hang, girth, weight and length have all increase. As for discolouration, my unit appears slightly darker but I actually like this alot.

Well there it is. If you could fill this in I would be most greatful.

Sorry if this is too long, I definately did not intend it to be this length.
Ps.
Is there any way we can ever get a clamping forum?

Kesman

Erection Levels: maintained throughout all sessions, generally 12 min sessions
Wrap: None
Type of Clamp: Air Clamp
Tightness of Clamp: I can pump until my unit aches
Warm-up: generally none
Rest period: at least 5 minutes
Theory: Big Girtha
Gains: Lately I’ve been playing catchup due to an operation that gave me a forced deconditioning period. I still have 6.5” girth but I’ve had more previously. You can get further perspectives in the Review forum. Here

Excellent thank you Monty, do you always subscribe to a 12 minute time, or do you also judge by look and feel?

Errection Levels: maintained

Wrap: Cut the 2” ace bandage to about 1.2” inches in width. wrap it around maybe 10 times so its nice and snug, and constricts blood on its own. In my experience the wrap is a make or break for clamping. I’ve tried many of styles of wraps and some I barley get any engorgement and others I get maximum, like with the one I’m using and have been using for a little while now.

Type of Clamp: cable

Tightness of Clamp: I tighten throughout the set but I end up tightening it to as far as it will go, then I’ll do my manual work, and my erection isn’t as strong and I tighten it more.

Warm-up: heating pad before, throughout, and after exercises.

Rest period: 1 or 2 minutes. Day wise, i used to clamp as much as possible but I’m starting to go everyother or even 1 on 2 off in some cases, just for experimental purposes.

Theory:I don’t know about theories, maybe maximum engorgment, One little thing I’ve found very affective after I tighten the clamp as far as it goes, I push it towards my pubic bone, and for some reason I can only do this if I’m using new bandage, but when I push the clamp in, it stays and it forces more blood in and I get amazing engorgment.

Gains: It’s hard to say really, when I was a noob, I used to measure right after sets and thought that’s what I had for girth. I’d say I’ve gained a solid .8 inches maybe .7 I’ve been clamping with engorgment as the goal now for about 4 months or so(I used to clamp before that but I probably really didn’t get anything out of it). My gains have seemed to stop lately or my engorgment hasn’t been going up so I’m in the phase of trying new things, because I find that the small details like how many times I wrap my wrap, How the clamp fits, the manual exercises, etc have a huge impact on engorgement and gains. It’s hard to break from old habits though, and really I’m not doing alot different, I’m still hoping I’ll see those gains with my old methods I guess.

When clamping are you supposed to be tightening basically as hard as possible without hurting yourself?

I ask this because I remember someone mentioning the key to clamping being that you cut off the veins but let the blood flow into the penis still through the arterries. Therefore more blood is flowing into your penis than is being let out so it expands and all that.

But is there a point where if you’re clamping too hard you’re keeping blood from coming into your penis and then keeping it from getting more engorged; you’re just trapping blood in your and that’s it?

I’m basically asking if it’s best to clamp really hard or if it’s better to JUST cut off the veins and not go harder, because I can probably cut off the veins and stuff with very little effort.

The arteries run along the inside of your penis, where as the veins run along the outside. The clamps put pressure along the outside of the shaft and stop blood from leaving the penis, while the arteries along the inside are still free to carry blood in. I’m unsure if you’re able to restrict the blood flow in from the arteries by clamping too hard, but basically in my experience the answer is no.

Another Note: While I’m clamped i also try some behind the balls Jelqing and kegel lots while at maximum engorgement, this forces more and more blood in and therefore takes my maximum engorgement up another level.

Do many people experience fluid build up while clamping? Ive had it twice recently, perhaps i was being a little too hard on the “Little” guy.

So basically it’s good to try and clamp as hard as possible without hurting yourself?

Another clamping question that might be of interest is this:

What is the average ratio of length to girth gains with clamping? I know I’ve heard of people gaining length from clamping so basically If you end up gaining an inch from clamping how much length would you (on average) be expected to have gained?

Erm, I’ll leave that first question to a clamping master. The problem with clamping is it is kind of experimental really, like all PE I guess. The risks involved are much higher, obviously you don’t want to hurt yourself, and pain or anything other than mild discomfort is extremely bad in most cases. Really as with all PE we just don’t know.

As for length to girth gains, Clamping is almost exclusively for girth, many people believe clamping does not improve length, and will even hinder future length gains.

However Aristocane did report a length increase of 1 inch, along with 1.5 inches of girth. So his ratio was 1:2/3. So for each inch of girth he received 2/3 rd’s of an inch of length.

If you suffered from weak errection quality, you may notice a length increase from improved erections. All I know for sure is, my erections are rock hard,unbelievably so.

Oh yea man me too. I have definitely noticed in my PE’ing, especially recently, that my erections litterally feel, when I poke them with a finger, as though there is solid rock inside. It’s great! Although I feel it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to do things such as horse 440’s or clamping as you have to completely compress blood into a smaller space which is really hard when the blood is already like a rock in there.

1 More question: When clamping say for 2 sets of 15 minutes, do you jelq inbetween or just let it chill? Should you get a full erection before you start again?

Starting methods are different for everyone. I like to get to 75% erection, apply wrap, clamp it off. Then work my way to 100% and maintain it for the entire set.

If you are new to clamping you only want to stay clamped for 5 minutes or so, its all a personal experiment, Ive never clamped for over 20 minutes, that’s an absolute max for me. And more often than not I stop at 15 minutes.

Between sets, I squeeze all the old blood out of my penis, do a few stretches, let it rest for 20 seconds or so, then Jelq some nice fresh blood into it, before starting on my next set. I only take a minute or so rest between sets though.

Me too! Much harder erections since clamping. After just a couple of months of PE I have basically settled into only clamping sessions as they seem to be working best for me. Over 1cm or 1/2 inch increases in length & .5cm or 1/4 inch in girth which I reckon probably won’t continue at the same rate - but I wish! I’ve kind of refined my immediate goals to wanting more girth first but ‘gonnabe6’ doesn’t sound quite as good.

Even got hold of a good quality gauge pump & cylinder too [through a guy on here] but so far I don’t really like the feeling of it and it doesn’t seem to work as well for me as the $2 cable clamps from Bunnings. I was using 10 minute sessions at no more than .5hg but the weird fluid build up and fleshy feel also freaked me out a little. And in my book a hard cock should be veiny & a bit mean looking and not like you’ve been stung by a wasp - although I read a thread which reckons this might be yet another PE technique guys..

Routine is 2 clamps for 3 x 10 minute sessions with 5 minute breaks of erect dry jelqing 5 or 6 days a week after a hot shower warm up. Have been using the Remek technique of clamping behind the balls first, getting 90% hard then clamping as low on the shaft as possible.

Would like to try Monty’s air clamp but so far this seems to be working just fine so I’ll see how it goes.

I try not to be influenced by visual appearance and stick to the 10 minute rule with a little fudging. (12 min)

Interesting…recently, whilst clamping, my dick isn’t the dark colour one expects but seems to be rather lightish in appearance and a bit puffy / spongy to touch. At these times it doesn’t always want to get engorged. I’m now assuming this is some sort of fluid buildup (?) If so, is this harmful? It’s not always there, just from time to time and I try and work through it to get to a decent engorgement.

On the other stuff:

Erection Levels:
Start off at maybe 50%. Apply clamp a few clicks. Increase engorgement and clicks till rock hard.

Wrap:
Hate wraps. Instead I glued a thin strip of 5mm neoprene inside the jaws of the clamp. Works like a charm and everything’s all in one unit

Type of Clamp:
Cable Clamp

Tightness of Clamp:
I usually click it fully shut.

Warm-up:
Nope

Rest period:
A few minutes between clamps. Try to do around 3 - 4 sets of 15mins ea if time and dick permits…usually 3 or 4 times a week

Gains:
Nope. Been doing this since Xmas and sometimes my flaccid ‘feels’ a bit plumper but this may be wishful thinking more than anything else.

Interesting, I haven’t been clamping long but there is definitely an increase in flaccid, a rather large increase in flaccid also. Although I think I may have been a bit rough, and have popped a vein.
Help… Is this a thrombosis?
I’m going to take time off till Wednesday at least (2 days from posting this.)

There you go a warning to everyone else, clamping can be dangerous. Take the risks, pay the prices.

Erection Levels: Usually 100% edging to porn..:D

Wrap: None

Type of Clamp: Cable Clamp

Tightness of Clamp: Engorged but NOT super tight - currently 5 notches showing..

Warm-up: Not really - mainly manhandle it for 15 minutes..

Rest period: 5 minutes rest in between clamp sessions where I put on the jelly rings to maintain the plump for the next bout. Make sure to finish PE approx 4-6 hours before sex. PE 5 days on, 2 days off(weekend)..

Theory: 1 CLAMP ONLY!!Too much pressure WILL result in discoloration, steady progress over intense trauma every time. Similar to what hoffy states, one can get excellent engorgement by lightly pushing the screw hinge part of the clamp downward with your thumb if the little man has lost interest..:)

Gains: 0.75” gained within 6 months from clamping alone. Spent last few months cementing these gains and pushing for length before getting back to a more stringent clamping routine later this year. I firmly believe I can achieve the gains I require with manual stretching and clamping alone..
