Clamping: Starting Soft or Hard?

How many of you put the clamp on when soft and then work up the erection or start with the full blown erection and then clamp it down? I ask because I read somewhere where one guy was saying he started flaccid and gets a bigger plump when he gets a full erection. I normally clamp after becoming erect but I tried it today and I think I was slightly bigger. Any thoughts?

you might have beene reading about me. I prefer to start flaccid and gradually work my way till it gets pipe hard, but while getting there, I force the clamp to my pelvic bone and kegel. Once pipe hard, I click the clamp till I can’t click it no more. Now then, my pemis becomes that hard, it actually pushes the clamp in my pelvic bone and the form the bulb at the base of my shaft. I no longer PE any more since I have surpased my goals.

I agree 100% with tnt. I always get pissed off when I get wood before I get a chance to get the clamp on because I know the session won’t be as good.

I get 100% hard than kegel and than put the clamp on while holding the kegel.

I get best results starting at about 50% erect.

Ditto with Dino. If anything this thread will probably go to prove that we all put the clamp on differently at different turgidities. Clamping is not, as yet, an exact science and we can only go by the individual experiences we have had. So long as we’re all gaining and doing it safely, each to their own. :)

Thanks for the responses guys. As I said, I tried the “work-up-to-an-erection” method today and it plumped a little more than usual so I think I’ll give it a try some more. I know that when I do O-bends, I’m better off starting with less of an erection and working it up to the desired level than starting off at the desired level. For some reason, it’s like my penis is more malleable when I work up to the erection.

Anyone have any experience doing it both ways?

Also, for those of you that have posted, have you gained anything that you contribute to clamping? Drilla, we all know you have.

Turgidities ?

Now that is verbose !

I would have used tumidities, personally.

Or maybe a little talcum .

I try to get 100% hard before putting the clamp on, and just assumed everyone else did also.

So this is an enlightening read for me.

My reasoning is that you want as much blood in the penis as possible first, then clamp to hold it in.

However, Now I see the logic of clamping while still malleable (Ha! Verbose you say)

To allow a tighter clamp. I’ll have to try it.

TNT, you just hit 2000 posts!! Congratulations! Where’s the party?

Think you can only use that word when the water content of the air is above a certain level. :)

I try and clamp when my tumidity is as high as possible. I actually find it annoying to have to work up from flaccid when clamping as I’m normally on a time limit.

This is a very timely thread for all of us that clamp. I dont think I have seen it discussed on this website. At any rate, those of you like mravg who have clamped only with an erection, let us know your comparative experiences going into the clamp flaccid. So many variables affect erectile strength even in a clamp. I am like wangchun. It seems my erection is more malleable when I clamp flaccid. But again, so much depends on arousal, stress and time factors, etc.

Lets keep this thread going with comparisons of clamping flaccid versus clamping erect.

For me clamping flaccid BTB enables me to get a good erection quickly but the erection is more malleable, not super hard as in erect clamping at the base of the shaft. It is still good for bend work as in wangchun’s experience. My age may be a factor also.

For future posters, maybe we should state our experiences BTB or at the shaft base.

So do I.

When it come to clamping I alway start out hard and while I am clamping with the first clamp I jelq for the first 2 minutes, then put the second clamp on for the next 8 minutes.

I don’t get as hard and plump if I start with an erection. Does anybody get that big bulb at the base of the penis when clamped? It is crucial that I get the bulb when clamped, because that is what slams my clamp tightly up against my pelvic bone causing more pressure in the shaft thus allow the penis to grow in length as well, in my opinion. I attribute all of my gains to clamping and as of today, I am 8.125 BPEL x 5.8 EG and that is enough for me.

Your house, I’ll bring the steaks and the beer, can you provide the grill, I will have my son go out to the desert and get some mesquite for the fire. Then we explain to my son the reason for the celebration is I posted about penis’s 2000 times within the last 2 years and Mom helped.
