Falling asleep with the cock ring on

As far as I’m concerned the potential gain isn’t worth the potential risk. All it takes is one serious fuck up.

Hey “Shy,” you are one lucky dude! I wouldn’t do it again though because next time it will hurt! I agree with Thunder, whatever gain you might get isn’t worth the risk!

Yes,

that theory is very popular here. But there are two main theories - damage and healing in extended state versus growth through adaption to force/traction (myself I think it might be a bit of both). My post was about why healing in extended state may be valid.

Agreed. All doubters might want to read about my close call. Fell asleep wearing ADS

An ADS is a much different proposition than a loose cockring. I consider the latter more akin to a wrap, which many people also seem to favour overnight. We’re not talking about glans-bursting rock-hard constriction here, just some mild plumpness/extension.

In any case, caveat emptor (sorry, don’t know the Latin for PE’er :-) I’m not recommending this practice to anyone, just providing my own views and experiences.

You are not concerned with the cock ring potentially interfering/eliminating with your nocturnal erections either plustwo?

Au contraire, TSS. I started doing it exactly for that reason, i.e., to catch the erections and extend them slightly. I.e., to maintain some plumpness and mild stretching for a prolonged interval. (As per the other thread I indicated. I describe some of my experiences in detail there.) More specifically, the ring is loose to start with, and thus with no side-effects, when I go to bed. If I get a mid-night woodiness, then the ring seems to keep more of the blood in for longer, and I tend to awake with a plump, warm, nicely coloured (i.e., red) member. On some mornings, I awake with a full erection and then tighten further for a real ‘clamp’ and kegel for a while before getting up. Going to be with a *tight* cockring would be a major no-no.

And you are positive that the ring isn’t somehow limiting the night erections then? Not sure if I would be able to determine if it was working or not.

I’m not sure either :-) But I suspect it is not limiting. Again, the ring is quite loose to start with and is quite comfortable even when fully erect. That’s why I refer to it as more of a ‘wrap’ than a ‘clamp’.

My gut feeling is that erections are generally stronger than they ever were previously, due to several factors (all PE-related), and especially with this ring. This particular technique is a theory, an experiment, and a gamble.

Thunder,
as far as my nighttime erections go or even morning wood. I wake up in the morning as hard as ever. If I do wake up in the middle of the night then I usually will take off the ring.

Mgus,
because I think that if the body is healing and you are in a extended state then gains will occur. I weight lift a lot, I think that just like lifting weights you have to “extend” your muscles to get them to grow. Protein and sleep and natural body functions, help the torn muscles and fibers repair in extended states. I believe that this theory can be used for PE. And since sleep is when your body repairs itself the most why not be in an extended state for repair? The cock ring I wear does not stop erections , it just helps keep some blood in for engorgement. It kind of goes with the theory that longer time and less stress is the key to gains.

I am not contradicting you, on the contrary. Except for the wiseness of doing it while asleep.

Mgus, thanks for your comments. I guess just like all PE exercises, the wiseness factor will be determined by time.

Yup! as far as I’m concerned, it’s not worth the risk, I love sex and as most of us know, everything we do here can be detimental to our dick. Be wise my friend

This is why people sleep, to rest. Rest your body, the body as a whole, which includes your dick. I would rather be in control and the risk of injuring myself is not on agenda, which is to say that it hasn’t happened when I was in control, but at least I was awake to make a decision.

Why do some want the overnight been stalk.

Take care and be careful.

My experience is that mild constriction while sleeping slows down the healing process. I’m thinking it might be because of the decrease in bloodflow to the penis when it is constricted.

J, please elaborate on your experience.

After much reading here, especially recent threads, I’m tending towards the belief that the tissues should always have a slight tension on them, *especially* while healing. E.g., I’d wear an ADS all day (duh!) if I could, but it’s just too uncomfortable. A wrist wrap is not a bad compromise, to maintain some minimal extension. I’m also wondering if continuous long-term tension is better than sporadic intense tension (hanging/pumping/clamping)?

I usually jelq/pump/squeeze in the evening before going to bed and when I have used a wrist wrap during sleep my penis felt more worn out and shriveled next morning than when I slept without the wrap. Without the wrap my penis was less sore and didn’t shrivel or turtle next morning. The penis needs lots of fresh blood during the night to heal and the wrap prevents bloodflow to the penis, I think. Maybe I was wrapping too tightly and the key is to find the balance where the wrap provides healing in an extended state with minimum restriction of bloodflow.
