Missing PI from clamping

I have just started clamping, but I am a bit puzzled over the missing physical indicators that I hear others are having.
I clamp 10-20 minutes, sometimes twice during the day. I wrap with a piece of bandage and clamp as hard as I can (it cannot be closed tighter how hard I try).
I have a full hard erection all the time and the shaft is really engorged.

But what I am missing from others descriptions:
* I do not get cold at all. I stimulate and massage the dick all the time so that may explain this?
* I do not get discoloration at all. Maybe just slightly darker, but never purple.
* If I measure right after starting clamping my EG is perhaps 1/4” bigger than my normal EG, but it stays the same all the clamping time. It does not grow during the session.
* I do not get any fluid buildup like when I jelq.
* I don’t get any pumped feeling afterwards. Within 10-15 minutes I cannot notice that I clamped earlier. With jelqing, I can normally feel it the entire day.
* I do not understand at all why people say not to clamp longer than 10 minutes. I seem to have no problem going on much much longer.

So what is wrong? Should I clamp longer? Wrap differently? Use two clamps?
Could it be that some people are much more sensitive to clamping than other?
Am I to conditioned due to all the jelqing? I am used to do 15 minutes of intense wet jelqing on a 5/2 schedule.
I have also be using ULIs, erect bends and hand clamping for a long time, but not longer than max 5 minutes.

Any ideas?
Anyone else with the same experience as I?

My first guess would be that you need to work on your wrap. When I first learned about clamping I had some of these same issues and they were solved by getting a better wrap and learning to wrap better. Also, you could try to use two clamps as you suggested. It shouldn’t be necessary in most circumstances, but two clamps would be more effective at keeping blood from escaping. Finally, you shouldn’t really be clamping for 20 minutes for one set. You should try to do 10 minute sets and do multiple sets. Two sets is a good starting point. I find that engorgement for me gets greater as I progress in sets, so while I might only have 1/4” increase during the first set, this might become 1/2” by the third. But remember, take it slowly. Don’t go doing many sets for long periods looking for quick gains.

Is that really so? What is so special about 10 minutes? Isn’t that just the time when the average guy seems to have enough?
If I don’t see any effects from 10-20 minutes of clamping, why shouldn’t I go on for another 10 minutes?
What is different with several sets compared to one long set, given that I don’t get a cold discolored unit?

There must be other clampers here that don’t get much effect from 10-20 minutes of clamping, or am I the only one?

Oden,

I’m really only saying 10 minutes because that’s what I’ve read over the many clamping threads around here. I’ve personally never tried more than 10. I tend to believe that multiple sets of 10minutes are safer than and just as effective as longer sets, but I’m not really a vet at this so maybe someone else can chime in.

The basic idea of clamping is to trap the outgoing blood in the penis so that it causes great pressure and engorgement. If you’re not getting good engorgement, then you have to look into a problem with how you clamp, i.e. your wrap and clamping method. As far as cold and discolored unit, I don’t think that that’s what you should be using to gauge your clamping effectiveness. Instead use girth measurements during and after clamping. I usually try to make sure I have at least the same engorgement every time while clamped.

Just be careful though, clamping is a VERY intense and dangerous girth exercise. It’s very easy to overdo it. Don’t start thinking that you aren’t pushing yourself enough and wind up with a bad injury. I hope you get the answers you’re looking for though. Good luck!

hyyprr,
thanks for your advice.
The things that puzzles me is that I DO get good engorgement, but I NEVER see effects that others are reporting like coldness, discoloration, and feeling pumped afterwards. That’s why I am worried I am doing something wrong, or that my unit isn’t really responding well enough to clamping to be worth the effort. I was hoping that clamping would get as good or better effect as jelqing, but so far I do not see that happening.

I agree that you shoulddn’t keep on pushing time and intensity so that you may get hurt. However, since I do not see any effects from the clamping yet, it is hard for me to see that happening any time soon. For me clamping has no more efect than having a good hardon.
I will look into other ways to wrap and perhaps try a little longer sessions before giving up.

Hey Oden. It seems to me like you aren’t getting the pump you need during your session. It could be that your wrap isn’t tight enough or maybe that you need to try two clamps instead of one. It sounds to me like your blood outflow isn’t constricted enough. Now there are some guys that clamp a little less extreme than some of us and if that is your objective, then clamping for 20 minutes really isn’t a problem. But if you are trying to do a high pressure clamp then 10 minutes is all you should expect to get out of one session. Again, it sounds to me like you aren’t clamping off tight enough.
