paranoia when clamping

I recently starting clamping a little with some initial success. I haven’t hurt myself clamping or anything like that except a little comfortable soreness. So everything is normal as far as that goes.

So no negative indicators or anything like that.

The only thing that has been bothering me is the fear of something going wrong while clamping or even after clamping.

I don’t remember who posted this, but that gentleman who posted that he had blood come out of his urethra is embedded in my mind.

I am very cautious when I clamp and I have been getting a little paranoid lately.

Does anybody get scared after or during a clamping session that something is going wrong or did go wrong?

Even if I have a little comfortable soreness after a clamping session it makes me nervous and sometimes when I take a piss I am afraid blood is going to come out of my dick, and this is all because of that post I read.

Just thought I share this with you guys, because I know there has got to be someone who is as nervous as me putting a cable clamp around there cock. Everything is going great right now as far as the health and well being of my penis and I want to keep it that way.

I don’t want to be afraid while I clamp, but I am always on alert especially when I tighten the clamp a notch for more expansion.

Also, I notice when I edge or beat off while clamped for extra expansion that it is easy to not feel if something is going wrong while clamping, because all I feel is the sensation you get when your rubbing one out. I usually stop frequently to make sure everything is cool.

So are there a lot of people here afraid of clamping despite the fact it is working out for you and not harming you in any way?

I’m not afraid myself. The only thing that gets to me is that when I am able to clamp all the way, my dick gets a little cold so I try to edge a little bit to keep that from happening. Other than that though, I have not have any negative PIs indicating that something is wrong. I, myself, clamp for 5-10 minutes for 3 sets.

I sometimes get a little cold to, but I get cold without any pain or tingle. It seems getting cold is normal now when I clamp.

You have to be ready to snap open a clamp in a split second because with clamping it may be all the time you have to prevent an injury. I have on more than one occasion felt like I was going to blow out a vein and was able to pop the cable clamp open in time

Yeah. In addition to what you said Mr. T, I don’t feel any tingling or pain or anything like that. Just the chill factor.

Now that’s a experienced clamper. Clamping is awesome for the record.

I love clamping. I was a little timid at first, just as a precaution, but now I clamp with no padding as tightly as possible. I can ratchet a cable clamp all the way down to the last snap. I don’t get a lot of expansion, but it feels awesome! I never hold it for more than 7 minutes, usually only 5.

I don’t get any pain or tingling when I clamp either. But I worry something may go wrong sometimes, and it makes clamping less desirable for me when I think about it. I still like clamping though, but it is dangerous. I place the clamp so the latch mechanism it pointing right at me and the lever is to my right. I have my right thumb sitting on the lever if I have it on tight for a precaution, but if it is on not to tightly I tend to not pay attention. I still have that 2/8th gain that I am clinging on to trying to cement it, so I hope clamping yields me some gains. I want to start making progress. If I can add an additional 1/8th to what I have now it would be the beginning of a long and prosperous PE journey. I just want to get to that next step were I know that I am capable of making a real gain that is pleasing to the tape measure and proves to me that I can personally make my dick very big if I am patient and persistent.

I’m not a clamper, but if I were I would think monty’s "air clamp" would be the safest way to go. If you haven’t seen it, here is the link:

Scroll down a little. Looks nice and comfortable and easy to get out of if something goes wrong.

I always wondered what an air clamp is and what it does, so thanks for the link sta-kool.

I clamped for a bit and had similar paranoia. In the end I quit as I might have injured myself. I say “might have,” as I’m just not sure. I had penis enlargement surgery, years ago, with a fat injection. When i was clamping, a bump suddenly appeared on the left of my shaft, just below the gland. I unclamped straght away and started to massage. There was no pain and the lump is there to this day (it happened about 2 years ago). I can squeeze the lump as hard as possible and feel nothing and it is soft, rather than hard like a guitar string (as I’ve heard damaged veins might feel). So, i’m not sure if somehow the clamping shifted a lump of fat or did something to a vein. It’s very hard to tell. If anyone has any input on this I’d be glad to hear.

How big is the bump/lump?

About 1cm long, 1/2 cm wide and 3mm high.

Just take it easy, don’t clamp so hard at first, and play it by ear.

Try one set, see how you feel with that, and gradually build up to a comfortable place in your routine. Anyone experiencing blood, numbness, etc. took things too far in hopes of getting an extra inch in girth in a week.

It may be some fat from the girth surgery that clumped up. I think you can fix that by getting another operation, but if it isn’t bothersome I would leave it alone.
Seems like it is small and unnoticeable.
