Too hard to clamp and pump?

My dick is rock hard when it is errect and when I try to clamp or pump I get zero expansion. Anybody else have this problem? I really need to do something for girth and I feel that clamping is #1 and pumping is #2. However, neither seem to be effective at all. I am very frustrated with this!

There is rock hard and then there is rock hard. I find it hard to believe that your natural erection is as hard as what you could experience with clamping (pumping is a different matter). Perhaps I am wrong.

What you might want to do is apply the clamp before you achieve 100% erection. Sometimes, when I apply the clamp when I’m fully erect, I get very little expansion as well, in part because I cannot clamp it down as tightly. Apply the clamp at about 70% erection, and tignten it well. Then get yourself up to 100% erection, and beyond.

Also, sometimes, it’s not until the second and third clamping set that I really begin to see expansion. During a set, I will also sometimes loosen the clamp considerably, jelq for a bit, and then tighten it again. I often find that this increases the expansion.

As for the pumping, what vacuum pressure are you pumping at? It seems that some men here see a noticeable effect at low pressures, say, 4 to 6. I don’t. I see a little effect at these pressures, but not much. I know there are many warnings about pumping above these pressures, so I’m not going to tell you what you should do. But it may be that some men simply require, and can handle, higher pressure. Nothing excessive, mind you. For me, the 6 to 8 range definitely has more of an effect (on girth, at any rate; length is another matter).

Seriously, M, it is so hard it will barely bend. I see absolutely no difference when I clamp. I can’t even get the veins to bulge like I see in the pics. I will try the 70% clamping and see how it goes. I cannot jelq at all with a full woody, only the skin moves.

I use a gauge to pump and hold it at 5. If I stay in the tube very long or go higher than 5 the soft skin around my pee hole will blister. I watch closely and when I see a the skin starting to build up I quit the session. Usually this happens in less than 10 minutes. I am going to try pumping at 70% also.

Clamping/Pumping would give you a 110% erection, you cant seriously say your natural erection is 110%?

I think that applying the clamp well before a full erection is a good idea. If I apply a clamp at full erection I don’t get any expansion either. I put the clamp on loosely before I start to get hard. Then I start kegeling in blood. As it starts to get harder I tighten the clamp a little more. I keep on kegeling and tightening (I also push the clamp down to bone pressed as I kegel) until it can’t get any harder. Then I tighten it the rest of the way.

No, neither clamping or pumping give me anything over 100%. I get no expansion from either one. Not in girth or length. None. This is the problem.

Slash’s explanation is a good one, OneHungLo. Try this and see how it goes. Please let us know.

I just can’t think of anything else. You’re not taking Viagra, or anything like that, are you? Perhaps by nature you simply have super firm erections: Your 100% may be equivalent to most guy’s 115%, or whatever. It’s a good thing, I think. But I could see how it might make girth exercises more difficult. Try the above.

No Viagra here, M. I will try slash’s idea and see how it goes. Thanks all for the info.

Right on, slash. Perfect advice IMO.

I have been applying my clamp at full erection and really haven’t noticed much expansion beyond my normal capacities. I think I’ll try slash’s advice too and see how it goes.

Thanks slash.
