The importance of following the clamping guidelines: Please read

I had an injury yesterday with clamping. In writing this post, I hope to deter people from making the same mistake that I made.

The suggested clamping routine is to have three clamping sessions throughout the day that last 10 minutes each. Well, I thought, instead of clamping in three sessions throughout the day, I’d instead try a 30 minute marathon of clamping, which would enable me to get all the work done in just one session instead of three. Big mistake. After the 30 minute clamping session, I couldn’t get an erection. I tried turning on some pornography and masturbating to see if my dick would return to functioning normally, but at the moment I reached orgasm, I finally got my erection up to about 20%, but then it ended shortly thereafter.

I literally panicked thinking I had permanenty injured my penis.

Trying to stay calm, I got an ice-pack (most likely, there was damage to the ateries or some other vessel, I don’t really know) to prevent further possible swelling. I also took some advil to prevent a possible infection. Fortunately, my dick was able to get a 75% erection about an hour later, though it was a little bit “spongy” and somewhat more difficult to maintain than usual. Luckily today, my dick is functioning nearly normally (I don’t have much difficulty in getting an erection and maintaining the erection, plus I can get to about 90% erect, though there’s a subtle decline in erection quality and still a minor “sponge-likeness,” which I’m sure will heal up in a couple of days). I plan to take two weeks off of PE, sex and masturbation so as to allow an adequate time to give my penis an ample rest and recovery.

As I said at the start of this post, my point in writing this is to deter people from making the same mistake: Learn from my mistake and don’t try a clamping marathon that last for 30 minutes straight. Instead, stick to the guidelines: Have three clamping sessions throughout the day that last 10 minutes each.

Advil my friend won’t affect an infection. The only thing it does is constrict blood vessals which if your dick was starving for oxygenated blood the last thing you want to do is slow down blood flow. You’d have been better off to jelq slowly for a while to get fresh blood throughout your penis. Advil is a NSAID, not an antibiotic.

Hope your OK

Your dick is most likely just tired and your nervous, don’t sweat it and take it slower.

Advil depresses the immune system, bad. Heating would have been better, increasing blood flow to the region of injury will cause your body to better respond to any injury/infection you may cause.

AM1221, what the hell do you think guidelines are for?

I’m amazed at the amount of people who simply either don’t read or elect to ignore safety guidelines.

If you haven’t caused some damage to yourself, you are lucky. I have no sympathy for anyone who totally ignores advice.

Why do you think people suggest guidelines for clamping and other activities, for a laugh?

Let this be a warning for everyone, PE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS AND LONG TERM HARM IF YOU ACT IN A STUPID MANNER.

Ruz,

You criticize me for not following the clamping guidelines, yet you obviously show an inability to follow forum guidelines yourself.

There is a link to the forum guidelines to the left of every “post” section. Obviously, you’ve been a member here for awhile and have no excuse to have not read the forum guidelines.

I will copy and paste relevant guidelines that, judging from your disparaging post towards me, you were apparently unable to follow…

“The strength of this forum we are able to freely discuss our sexual organs and what we do with them, without the fear that this is misconstrued as sexual availability, or that we will be attacked or abused for our openness.” [emphasis added]

The above guideline basically means that people, no matter how stupid or careless you perceive them to be, should be able to freely discuss PE without being disparaged.

“The following activities will not be tolerated:

”- Any sexual reference to minors.
”- Soliciting for sex in public forums, or misusing private messaging.
”- Aggression or annoyance towards any member whether in forums or private messages. Debate the idea, don't attack the poster.
”- Posting links to porn or warez sites or posting copyright material from other PE websites.
”- Spamming (this includes affiliate or referral links), cruising, soliciting or proselytising.” [emphasis added]

Writing to me with such a patronizing tone and implying that I’m stubborn, stupid and careless is against the forum guidelines. While it is true that I made a stupid and careless mistake, I don’t deserve to be disparaged over it.

I would do it 15 min max, you’ve learnt your lesson now, so that’s good, now hopefully everything is OK and you can move on and learn from it.

AM, you’ve learned your lesson and that is good.

Ruz, of course guidelines should be followed. But haven’t you ever gone overboard on something? I know I have. And let’s be realistic - AM’s post will probably deter people more from breaking the guidelines then the guidelines themselves.

Thank you for reporting your experienCe, AM1221. Others could learn :) .

An important rule of clamping is to stop it when the penis gets numb and insensitive to touch. It occurs always after a certain time with no exception. However the penis may maintain the same erection and engorgement at numb condition. Maybe your penis was like that for too long towards the end of 30 minutes of clamping. That may be the cause of your trouble.

Stupidity neither makes me aggressive or annoyed, I’m just pointing out there are very real risks.

:mwink:

Ruz_, the only one that seems unable of understand simple rules, here, is - guess who?- you.

Glad you’re alright bud. Yes, to all newbs, pain should not be a part of PE. A golden rule someone always used to say on here was if you can’t get a hard-on after a workout, you’ve overtrained.

Be careful newbies!

Hehe sounds like something Dr. Cox would say.
