Circumsized vs. Uncut Hanging

I’ve never understood this, yet there has been a lot of talk about it over the years. Maybe I’m missing something.

As I see it, a hanger will grab and stretch the internal structures, the shaft skin, tug on the head itself, or some combination of the these. The first is obviously the goal. Apart from some tightly cut guys needing to stretch skin for a while to develop some growing room, what is the practical difference between cut and uncut hanging?

Isn’t a cut guy who has stretched his skin in the same position as an uncut guy? If not, what is the difference?

Any ideas?

I think the foreskin and glans of someone uncut is more sensitive. Which makes it hard to attach the hanger high up your shaft. Also the foreskin can be slippery but I don’t know if it’s more slippery than a cut guy who restored his foreskin.

hobby,

>Isn’t a cut guy who has stretched his skin in the same position as an uncut guy? If not, what is the difference?<

As you know, there is a certain amount of work that each individual needs to do in order to make gains, and that might involve hanging at a certain intensity. We know that the areas we intend to stretch are tough and can handle a lot of weight (hobby, was it you who posted the thing about strength of ligs versus steel, and it’s equal or therabouts? I remember something like that), but the soft tissues are weak and can’t handle much weight before you experience intense pain and have to stop your hanging session. Uncut guys simply have a whole lot more of the soft area that is easily damaged, needs to be conditioned, open to soreness etc. It makes a lot of difference from what I have read, I am quite jealous. I heard that sex isn’t as good for cut guys because the glans becomes less sensitive as a result of rubbing on clothes all day. But I’ve only experienced one side of the argument so I can’t say. :)

I’m uncut and this was always my problem until I learned to over come it. I always found that my skin would happily “migrate” up and down my shaft easily, but when I tightened the hanger down enough to get it to grip the internals, it would cause bruising.

It is a fine line between just right and painfully tight.

I’ve had the same problem. Eventually I gave up on the recomendations given here on thunder’s and found that pulling the skin all the way back before wraping works great.

See, now that never worked for me.

I found that the only way to hang was with a small amount of blood in the cc’s (not the glans though) in front of the hanger.

Hmmm,
I’m curious do you have any fore skin on your glands ? If that’s so I could never get that working.

I pull the skin all the way back, wrap somewhat tightly and than place the hanger so it’s 1/3 on the head and the rest on the shaft. This of course means I’m somewhat pulling by the glands which as I understand from reading here undesirable.

First to address hobby’s original question,

One thing a uncut would seem to be dealing with is limited visual and tactical monitoring of the glans when hanging. Maybe it can be dealt with by pulling the skin back but it seems this would cause other more or less problematic issues, such as how to make the shaft smooth and not wrinkled when attaching wrapping and hanger.

I was cut in my late teens, and while admittedly I started a year later on with girls (but been playing catch up since that year), I still can compare things like oil wanks. Uncut is much better. What a cut guy can do is either restore the skin, which I’m sure would give you the best tactical sensations second to uncut. Or you can choose tight briefs over boxers, which I know from personal experience makes a significant difference. That said, if I was uncut I would always wear briefs except when sporting, but as it is I’m wearing boxers almost only when at home, out of bed with female company.

Ok, so far: Uncuts have more tissue and sensitivity, thus a more difficult time dealing with soft-tissue comfort and conditioning.

Perhaps. I suspect there is probably more variation among individuals regardless of circumcision status. But you may be right.

Me too. I was circumsized somewhat loosely, and my skin has stretched from PE. If a guy has sufficient skin slack to hang in his chosen position without the skin absorbing part of the stress, it shouldn’t matter whether the slack was there all along or developed from PE/restoration. Either the skin takes part of the load or it doesn’t.

Once the skin is completely out of the picture the only possible load supporting points are the shaft itself and the head. We want to keep the majority of the stress off the head.* I’ve always had a hard time gripping the internals. Eventually I learned to keep more blood in the CC’s in front of the hanger, same as Andrew. Otherwise it slides, regardless of how much I tighten. And with heavier weights it still slides forward enough to contact and put some of the load on the head.

I doubt there is much, if any, difference between cut and uncut hanging (apart from maybe the sensitivity thing), but there certainly is a world of difference between hanging with and without skin sharing the stress.

Of course, whether skin is taken completely out of play depends on several things. First, having enough skin for the chosen position. Second, how you wrap and attach. Anyone can wrap and attach in a way to mostly stretch skin. The same holds true for minimizing skin involvement. Third, the position. Upward positions in general aren’t as skin intensive because the turkey neck area isn’t firmly attached and can “loan” more when hanging up than the top is able when hanging down or BTC.

* Danols, attaching on the head itself is not a good idea. You might get by with this at light weights, but it isn’t a good way to hang. Please be careful.
