discoloration

I have tried to find an answer to my problem without starting a new thread but couldn’t. I have been hanging for about 6 weeks now and have worked up to 15# straight out and down for twenty minutes a set. Have been hanging BTC with 10# and tried to go up a bit today but couldn’t. In fact I couldn’t even hang 10# for more than 10 minutes.

My problem is this. I am uncut so I have all this damn extra skin over the head that turns blue and gets numb. The head itself does not get numb just the skin. I have tried every possible wrapping technique, toeing in, toeing out and different hanging placements but it doesn’t make any difference. I warm up with a rice sock for a good 10 minutes before each hang and afterwards. Arnica takes most of the bruising away after a day or two, but it’s the numbness of the skin that worries me.
I also have Peyronies which is a whole other pain in the ass, but PE has help that tremendously.

Sorry to be so wordy, but just wondering if any of you veterans had a solution to my problem.

Awesome site, my best to everyone that is here.

Sometimes I get the same probs with the extra skin and discoloration. I’ve only been hangning for 4 months, so I’m not much of a vet but I sympathize, it can be very frustrating. I don’t know if this will help but review Bib’s wrapping thread over and over. When ever I begin to have problems with the hanger it seems I can always attribute it to my wrap. For me the way Bib diagramed it is very helpful and will get me out of the rut. I find that all the extra skin makes my dick very tempermental and sometime it just won’t cooperate.

Are you wrapping too tight?

How long does your wrap stay on?

When you apply weight does the skin ride over the glans or does it stop at the base?

I am curious only because I deal with the discoloration and numbness at times and I worry if I’m doing damage to the willy.

Thanks.

This is fairly easy. You have only been hanging for six weeks. It seems to me you are pushing a little too hard. You did not say what you are feeling internally, but the skin problems point to the fact that your body has not adjusted enough to handle the amount of stress you are applying.

Remember, the point is not to hang as much weight as you possibly can. But rather to hang the amount which will give a good stretch, without causing major problems. It takes time not only for the gains, but for the body to acclimate to the stresses. It will happen quickly enough, no reason to push it.

This is another reason to take it much slower. The tissues in the area where the bend occurs are not as strong as normal. Also, they do not tend to stretch, but rather tear. So you should take it much slower.

Thanks for the reply

To answer your questions:
1.) I have experimented with different degrees of wrapping tightness and it really hasn’t made any difference in the discoloration etc. If the wrapping too loose it just doesn’t work. I try to wrap just firm.

2.) I wrap right after warming up and take the wrap off right after hanging, so in all the wrap stays on about 25 minutes tops.

3.) Since I am uncut, yes the skin rides way up over the glans. I have tried pulling the skin away from the head, but it is almost impossible to keep the skin pulled back as I wrap. Need an extra set of hands. When the weights are attached, the skin just goes back over the head. Frustrating to say the least.

I too worry about damage to the old weenie. You know, I’ve had it since I was a little boy and would like to keep it for a few more years. Although the wife says who needs a dick when you got a tongue. Go figure.

Thanks. After posting the thread I wondered if maybe my problem was going up in weight too fast. I started with about 5lbs. and it seemed so easy, maybe I pushed it. I will drop down to 10 lbs or less and see what happens.

As always, you are probably right on. You are “the man”. Hell, you are “the man’s” daddy!
