New favorite warm-up method.

I’ve always used water to warm up with considering the one time I tried to buy a heating pad and warm up with that was totally ineffective. Since then I have always used a small cup not much larger than my penis to warm up with. It was somewhat effective but the water would immediately start to become colder.

When I misplaced my cup, I decided to try a ceramic mug that I had lying around. It turned out to be a great improvement. The top lip is smaller in circumference than the base which makes it convenient for inserting my unit and the heat retention is amazing, partly I think because it is ceramic and partly because it is just bigger and there is more water in it. I get the water real hot and once I can just barely get him in there because of the hot temperature, I stick him in and can leave it in there for 5-10 minutes and the water barely cools at all. It makes for a great warm-up. You don’t need anything more than a medium-sized mug, but I think have the top lip be smaller than the base is a major convenience.

Try infrared. Lot less mess, and no hassle.

A lot faster too.

Yes, IR is great. Supposedly goes through 1.5 inches of flesh, too. And, I use it through the entire clamping workout (about a foot from my penis). dangle

Plus you don’t have to try to remember whether you washed the cup when you pour your morning coffee.

Or worse, you remember you didn’t

As you pour your second cup.

How can I make a decision on what to use when none of you guys can agree?

I’ll do a search on IR.

Your dick-in-a-cup doesn’t warm your ligs.

S.

It will warm the ligs if you get one of those insulated steel mugs that is tallish, fill it partially and push against the base.

Ceramic - you loose heat when warming up the mass of the cup, which is no problem if you use hot water in a cold mug. You have a greater total mass (water + ceramic) so there is more heat available, but there is no heat retention to talk about since there is no insulation. Just a larger amount to cool down from at the same dimensions (roughly).

Insulated steel mug - insulates the hot water, comparably very slow leakage of heat through the cup itself. Heat is lost via your unit, which is cooled by your bloodstream. Put the lid back after initial heating and you’re set for intermittent reheating during your workout, just add a little hot water.

Plastic - no insulation, no mass to be heated. Once the water cools, it cools.

Foam coffe cup - excellent insulation but no mass, disposable so you don’t have to worry about drinking coffe from it. Or you just press the little tab on the lid that says “DC” (dunked cock) to know the difference.

BUT the major heat loss is from the top surface. A flat and low teacup looses heat alot quicker than the same volume in a high and narrow shape. Not entirely applicable to the situation we are talking about of course.

I am curious, what kind of heating pad did you use?

Did you use a ‘moist’ heating pad?

Who mentioned heating pads?

If you are being sarcastic, which I hope you are since we all said “INFRARED”, please use a smilie to show it since you haven’t any inflection.

About the cup, how do you use it without spilling all the water out of it? Eh, doesn’t matter, seems like everyone says infrared is the way to go.

Yes, I realize that sarcasm is tough to distinguish in its text-based form, but I figured it would be obvious considering that I claimed I would search for it thereafter. I understand the possible confusion though.

Yes I used a moist heating pad, it just didn’t work out at all and I gave up on it rather quickly.

And you keep the water from spilling over by not filling it all the way to the top. And as Magus said, if you fill the right amount you can push it right up against your body.

IR is obviously superior but I’m not sure I want to invest in it quite yet as privacy is an issue and will be much more so when I return to school in a few months.

MGUS if I may.
