A Few Hanging Questions

Hi everyone. Few hanging questions for those in the know.

1) - about the taping - I am aware it’s important and I am doing it but can someone explain why exactly it’s vital and what would happen if one does not tape the glans?

2) - I’m trying the 5.5squared protocol with FIRe and I’m in the first stages but I’m trying to up the kilos. However, I’ve been reading opinions that kyrpa’s calculator about weights is not optimal. Can someone tell me what my max weights should be? I’m probably 5.5/6.00 L G on my best day but I’m a grower and my flaccid is pretty miserable. Currently doing 1kg 15 mins, 1.5kg 30 mins with heat, 2.5kg 15 mins without heat. How much more should I add before maxing out?

3) - about heat - as I said, my flaccid is pretty miserable which makes wrapping the heatpad around it a difficult task. How can I know I’m doing it right though? I only begin to feel some heat at like the last 5-10 mins of hanging with it and that’s on max settings. Am I supposed to be feeling it burning at all times?

4) - one off topic - about PRP shots - I see the P shot is gathering popularity. I know you don’t get size gains but some are saying it improves flaccid state. Will it also help with my miserable EQ? If someone knows more, please let me know of the benefits and if it’s worth the money and hassle.

Taping helps prevent vacuum blisters. Some guys don’t really have a problem, others will develop blisters easily. The longer the session, the more likely you’ll wind up with a blister.

You don’t have to tape as long as you’re not getting blisters.

Some guys have been successful using silicone glans caps instead of tape.

Many of the USB heating pads don’t put out very much heat. The kind you plug into the wall are better. Some of them can get *too* hot; I use a thermostatic controller I got off eBay; it has a temperature probe.

The end of your shaft and your glans will be the hottest part; blood circulation keeps the base cooler.

My take, after reading many of the posts from people who have had it done, is that it’s usually worth a small amount of size and EQ. If the cost isn’t a factor for you, I don’t see that it could hurt… but otherwise, my opinion is to ignore it and concentrate on traditional methods.

1. As Andy says tape protects against blisters.

2. The load calculator is useless so just avoid that, data was used from a scientific study that shouldn’t be trusted. I would increase the weight slowly until you start to see results. It’s best to use your own experiences and penis to guide you. One thing the scientific studys on TA strength show is that there is a massive difference in the strength from one TA to another. Which leaves us in the position that we have to accept what works for one dick may not work for another.

3. You should not feel burning with the heat pad, if you do then you’d need to turn it down. Just try and get it as tight to the skin as possible. Only way you can measure is by putting a thermocouple on your skin for the skin temperature or up your urethra for internal temperature (though that is hard to do). If you keep it tight it should be ok.

4. Don’t know

Why is the load calculator useless?

The study it took its important pieces of data from used TAs that were frozen and thawed many times which weakened the TA. The result was the studies figures did not agree with other studies. The study itself agrees that it’s numbers are not accurate for this reason and says the other studies should be trusted. These numbers should never be used to create a model but they were in the load calculator.

That’s why I wouldn’t be stressing about the load calculator. May as well use a magic eight ball.

Ok. But you do understand its just math. Thickness of TA and its circumference x load to deformation. The most.likely minutia of the thickness due to cadever vs. Live tissue has some.relevance but not much id assume. My weight max says 6.8 lbs but im using 8. I of course worked up to this weight from 2lbs over several months and settled on it because of one weight availability and a bit of extra weight to the calculator for good measure. I think crazy weight 20lbs and others are just too extreme for my interests. Again, everyone has their own comfort level. But kyrpas own results seem fairly convincing that high weights arent required.

Yes it is a mathematical model built on inaccurate data. That’s why I say it’s just a guess because there is no precision. Key data in the calculation is not accurate as the value was taken from a study that should not have been trusted. I don’t mind if people use it or not but whenever I see people giving it too much thought I simply try to advice that they should start light and trust their own dick and experience and then build up slowly if they need to. People should not be giving it more than a seconds thought or worrying about.

As I said above all the studies on here agree that there is a massive differences in the strength of the TA from dick to dick so a general tool will not work. Therefore people should not give it too much thought.

It is nice to read your comments. Do you think I should take breaks after a few weeks (4-6), or can you continue for months without a break?

I think the approach of doing 6 or so weeks and taking a break is a good way to start.

The break usually kicks in after you have seen some results. People break so they don’t overly condition their penis and then start back and try to get some more results. If you don’t see any movement in your measurements after 6 weeks or so then I would question the need to stop as you haven’t affected your penis. There are folks on her experimenting with many different variations of this approach. There are also folks that don’t really have a break schedule and only break when life gets in the way. It is feasible to get results from all these strategies but you have to find out what works for your dick.

1. Blisters are fkn annoying better to play safe and tape than not and have to stop hanging.

2. The load calculator actually worked for me, and honestly I believe my steel cord to be fairly strong and tough, just try the weights the load calc gives you for a while and if there are no changes after a month just up the weight by 0.5kg - 1kg.

3. If you’re using the totalman pad I had it set to its max, but I put it on straight away from the first set as it doesn’t get to max heat instantly but builds up to it for like 15-20 mins. As for the wrapping, just wrap it around your dick there ain’t much you can do about this one.

4. I think there are two p-shots and I’ve seen them confused for one another sometimes, one is Platelet Rich Plasma Injection which is more for healing soft tissue by injecting a place with plasma extracted from your own blood, and than there is the Priapism Shot(this is the one I think of normally when people say p-shot), which I believe is a strong vasodilator(PGE1) injected into the penis, which can be used to treat erectile dysfunction, there are some who say the latter causes growth. I have no experience with either. You’ll have to do some research of your own to see if either are worth it.

I fkn hate hanging, it’s the worst s hit in the world. I’ll forever curse my genetics and my horrible pathetic excuse of a dick for doing this to me. I despise every second of hanging and PE, I hate hanging and every other method out there, I hate having to cope with kilograms hanging out of my shrimpdick for an hour daily while feeling it’s gonna get ripped apart while the awful sleeve is re-attaching itself every 10 minutes, I hate how destroyed and even more pathetic my dick looks after hanging, I hate knowing that even if I do this for years I won’t see any gains and I’ll die a virgin not because I can’t pull women but because I can’t ever satisfy them with the curse that I’ve got in my pants. My dick has TRULY ruined my life, i wish i could just pay my way out of this misery but the so called ”advanced” medicine of today still hasn’t found a legit way to surgically enlarge a fucking piece of flesh in big 2023. I’m sure many, many, many men out there are suffering in silence just like me and whatever we achieve we can’t ever get joy from because we know it’s truly worthless when you’re a pathetic small dick man, especially in the porn era where even average is small.

I used to think the same way as you describe above. My bad attitude defined my abilitys as a lover and made me feel bad about myself. I didn’t listen to my partners, even if they were telling me that size wasn’t the issue, I still was conviced that my small dick is ruing my life and the reason to alot of stuff. Well you know what? I started PE to give myself 100% EQ, I started edging so I can last for as long a possible, I started working out so I can be hot and ripped, I started to practice techniques so I can be the greatest lover ever. And you know what? It worked a 100%.

+1!

And what a lot of men don’t realize is, having a big dick might give you confidence in the locker room, but it doesn’t automatically make you a good lover. “In, out, repeat as necessary” might work if you have a highly orgasmic partner who doesn’t demand much, but some need a lot more than that to be satisfied.
