frustrated as hell.

bib,

i’m at a loss. i finally have some time with privacy and i’m amped to rip it. the problem is that i can’t get the hanger(starter model) to do its deal. the crux of my problem is with wrapping, i think.

wrapping materials* i’ve tried so far:

t-shirt material
sweatshirt material
ace elastic sports bandage
ace self adhering sports bandage
velvet
swimcap material (latex)
bicycle innertube

*all except the swimcap material were cut to 1.5” * 18”. swimcap was more like 1.5” by 14”.

i’ve tried wrapping from the base up to a half inch from the coronal ridge. i’ve tried wrapping from a half inch from the coronal ridge down to the base. i don’t have much roo to work with because although my streched flaccid bp length is about 7-7.25”, i think my ball sack starts farther towards my head than most, because the free area on the underside of my shaft is considerably shorter than the topside. when i wrap from the top towards the base, i use my thumb and ring finger to stretch my dick by grasping the head, and my index finger to secure the wrap material. invariably, i either get an erection which makes it impossible to get a tight wrap when it subsides, or the meat of my penis swivels around the lig that runs lengthwise down the topside and also makes it impossible to get a tight wrap. in fact, i come closest to a securely mounted hanger with no wrap at all, but then a lack of girth makes a tight enough hanger adjustment impossible. now, i haven’t tried theraband yet, but do you think it would make such a difference that the seemingly impossible will become possible? i’m beginning to feel like hanging is just not something i can work out, yet i firmly believe it is necessary for me in order to see any more gains (which i haven’t had in a long, long time).

encouragement and suggestions greatly appreciated (else i may throw my bib hanger through the nearest window and maybe run it over a few times and then burn it. it’s not that i don’t belive it to be a phenomenal product if you can work it, but it’s beginning to seem like a cumbersome piece of plastic crap in my fumbling hands.)

please forgive my baseless rantings,
bebop

BeBop you stupid slut. So, why have you waited so long to write?

So try this before I send you the Theraband. Wrap with the sweatshirt material starting about one inch behind the head (coroneal ridge). Wrap only as far as you need to attach the hanger. Then, wrap with the swimcap material over the top of the ss material. Let me know what happens.

>i use my thumb and ring finger to stretch my dick by grasping the head, and my index finger to secure the wrap material. <

No. Use your thumb and index finger to grasp the head and stretch. Use your ring finger and pinky to hold the material on the back (underside) of the shaft while you get the wrap started.

>invariably, i either get an erection which makes it impossible to get a tight wrap when it subsides<

Some guys are wrapping with and erection. Then, they let the erection subside and then hang.

>or the meat of my penis swivels around the lig that runs lengthwise down the topside and also makes it impossible to get a tight wrap.<

This means you are not holding the initial wrap or subsequent wraps securely while you finish wrapping. Make sure you transfer your ‘hold’ hand the the initial wraps and stretch a little more before finishing the wrap.

There is a step by step post in here telling you just how to do it.

>i haven’t tried theraband yet, but do you think it would make such a difference that the seemingly impossible will become possible? i’m beginning to feel like hanging is just not something i can work out, yet i firmly believe it is necessary for me in order to see any more gains (which i haven’t had in a long, long time). <

It could. Other guys have found Theraband to be the ticket. How solid is the wrapped penis when using the swim cap?

When you get this right, you will be amazed at how easy it is. Also, probably how comfortable. Don’t worry about it. Hundreds of guys have mastered it, and you will to.

heh. I thought you had more patience than that.

Remember the old saying “Practice makes perfect”, well I can really vouch for that. For over 2 1/2 months I had my problems too, but I know it was me and my wrap and the position of the hanger. After much experimenting with both (wrap, wrap material and hanger position) I have finally found the “sweet spot” so to speak.

So don’t give up and surely don’t through it out the window. Do you know how much glass costs today not including the liability if it hits someone on the noggon.

Just my comments. Canuck

BeBop,

My penis shape seems to be like yours, with the same problems.
It took me a long while till it felt better (didn’t experiment that much, though). But it is, like Canuck said, “practice makes perfect”. Don’t give up on that.

Two things which helped me: opening the lower gap more and after tightening a little, pressing the hanger towards the body.

Try going to your local drugstore / pharmacy and buy a roll of standard medical bandage, not the support thing for knees and elbows, just plain bandage. Its very thin, so thin you can actually see through the spacing of the threads and its very elastic in the long direction, across the diameter theres no elasticity. Its very cheap, a roll in PE-wrapping-dimensions will set you back a dollar or two and its very good to wrap with. Rolled up you can have the bandage in your closed fist. Its also found in first-aid kits if you got one of those lying around

This is how i wrap:

I start by getting a little blood into the penis to get it a little firmer aprox 20-30 % erect, i massage a little blood into the head as well. Its best that the blood is massaged into the penis and not coming from actual arousal since the blood from arousal tends to “leave” fast as the arousal subsides. Also be careful not get too much blood into the penis, just enough to make a little firmer and easier to handle.

Then pull the foreskin back and start wrapping halfway over the head, the middle of the bandage should be positioned around the “neck” of the head. Concentrate on pulling the bandage so its stretched when wrapping, you only need little force because its so elastic. Wrap 1-2 layers this way down to the base of your penis. I make it as firm as possible using very little force.

Now you have a very thinly wrapped penis and the badage end at the base, now start wrapping towards the head but this time use more force and try to make the wrap real tight. This should be easy because the badage holds it self in place.

When you reach the neck wrap an extra time or two at that place, then wrap down to base with large spacing. You dont wanna wrap more at this point just get the bandage end to the base and fasten it.

Now your penis should look like something thats just left the emergency room, its should be quite firm and look like a white sausage.

Then i attach hanger and thats it.

This way of wrapping has allowed me to hang the most weight with most comfort, i wrap this way everytime, of course the physical shape of your penis plays a role and you might wanna adjust the wrapping-procedure to your own style.

Let me know if it works for you

Bebop,

Hey, where did you go?

>BeBop you stupid slut. <

I hope this did not offend you. It is an old gag line from a 1970’s Saturday Night Live skit. Maybe a little off the beaten track. I did not mean anything by it. You know I love you man.

BeBop you stupid slut.

PROBLEMS ON THE HOMEFRONT? YOU SOUND LIKE ME ADDRESSING MY FRIENDS WHILE I WAS IN THE THICK OF RELATIONSHIP INDISCRETION ISSUES AND THINKING ABOUT TAKING UP A NEW HOBBY … MISOGYNY.

So, why have you waited so long to write?

ACTUALLY, I DID WRITE ONCE OR TWICE BEFORE, AND I RECEIVED HELPFUL RESPONSES FROM YOU, BUT THEN MY SCHEDULE BECAME SUCH THAT I WASN’T ABLE TO PURSUE THEM WITH ENOUGH REGULARITY TO WARRANT FURTHER SOLICITATION. THEREFORE I HELD OFF UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO ADEQUATELY RESUME MY UNSUCCESSFUL FUMBLING.

So try this before I send you the Theraband. Wrap with the sweatshirt material starting about one inch behind the head (coroneal ridge). Wrap only as far as you need to attach the hanger. Then, wrap with the swimcap material over the top of the ss material. Let me know what happens.

HAVEN’T TRIED THIS YET, BUT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. SEE RESPONSES BELOW.

>i use my thumb and ring finger to stretch my dick by grasping the head, and my index finger to secure the wrap material. <

No. Use your thumb and index finger to grasp the head and stretch. Use your ring finger and pinky to hold the material on the back (underside) of the shaft while you get the wrap started.

OK, COOL. GOTCHA. MUCH BETTER. MUCH TIGHTER.

>invariably, i either get an erection which makes it impossible to get a tight wrap when it subsides<

Some guys are wrapping with and erection. Then, they let the erection subside and then hang.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT UNLESS I’M WAY OVER DUE FOR SOME PUSSAY, IF I GET THE WRAPPING DONE FAST ENOUGH, IT’S POSSIBLE TO REMAIN PRETTY FLACCID.

>or the meat of my penis swivels around the lig that runs lengthwise down the topside and also makes it impossible to get a tight wrap.<

This means you are not holding the initial wrap or subsequent wraps securely while you finish wrapping. Make sure you transfer your ‘hold’ hand the the initial wraps and stretch a little more before finishing the wrap.

THIS IS STILL A TRICKY ONE FOR ME. I THINK I’M SHOOTING AROUND 1 FOR 3 AT THE MOMENT.

There is a step by step post in here telling you just how to do it.

YEAH YEAH. I KNOW, I KNOW… DAMN YOU FOR ANSWERING EVERY QUESTION SO MANY TIMES. ER… I MEAN… THANKS.

>i haven’t tried theraband yet, but do you think it would make such a difference that the seemingly impossible will become possible? i’m beginning to feel like hanging is just not something i can work out, yet i firmly believe it is necessary for me in order to see any more gains (which i haven’t had in a long, long time). <

It could. Other guys have found Theraband to be the ticket.

I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND A MATERIAL THAT WORKS FOR ME. ONE OF MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS CAME PACKAGED WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF FOAM LIKE SHEET. IT’S SOMEWHAT ELASTIC IN NATURE AND ABOUT AN 1/12TH OF AN INCH THICK. IT TEARS NICELY INTO EVEN STRIPS AND COMPRESSES IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT FORMS A SOLID BASE ON WHICH TO MOUNT THE HANGER. I’M NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE IT. IT LOOKS KINDA LIKE FIBERGLASS MADE WITH FIBERS OF SARAN WRAP, AND IT’S NOT FOAMY IN THE SENSE OF PIPE INSULATION. IT’S BEEN WORKING GREAT THE FEW TIMES I’VE USED IT SO FAR.

How solid is the wrapped penis when using the swim cap?

NOT AT ALL, BECAUSE I HADN’T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT WRAPPED REMOTELY TIGHT.

When you get this right, you will be amazed at how easy it is. Also, probably how comfortable. Don’t worry about it. Hundreds of guys have mastered it, and you will to.

YEAH, IT’S GETTING INFINITELY EASIER WITH THIS NEW MATERIAL. FOR ANYONE ELSE HAVING WRAPPING ISSUES, THE MATERIAL MAY VERY WELL BE THE TICKET FROM IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVENIENT.

>encouragement and suggestions greatly appreciated (else i may throw my bib hanger through the nearest window and maybe run it over a few times and then burn it. it’s not that i don’t belive it to be a phenomenal product if you can work it, but it’s beginning to seem like a cumbersome piece of plastic crap in my fumbling hands.) <

heh. I thought you had more patience than that.

“HAD” IS THE OPERATIVE WORD HERE. I USED IT ALL UP ON MY WOMAN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, AND ALTHOUGH THINGS ARE MUCH BETTER WITH THAT NOW, I’M STILL OPERATING ON A PATIENSE DEFICIT.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE IN THESE MATTERS, BIB. I’M NOW MOVING INTO THE TERRITORY OF FINDING THE MOST COMFORTABLE PLACE TO MOUNT THE HANGER, DEALING WITH HOW MUCH BLLOD TO HAVE IN THE HEAD, AND TWEAKING THE FINE-TUNING ADJUSTMENTS. BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN TERMS OF NOT BEING AFRAID TO GO A FULL TWENTY MINUTE SET IS A BIG ONE AT THE MOMENT. I IMAGINE THAT ONCE I HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE TO KNOW THAT I’M NOT FITTING THE HANGER IN A MANNER THAT IT’S CLAMPING DOWN ON OR DELIVERING STRAIN TO AN ARE IT SHOULDN’T BE, THE FEARS WILL PASS AND I’LL REALLY BE SET TO LET IT RIP.

THANKS, YOU BIG SLUT,
BEBOP

Bebop,

Glad it is working better. Keep up the progress reports and if there is an issue, ASK.

Go here and look at the physiology of the penis. You will see the areas to avoid.

Really good page on the penis. Thanks JJJ.

Anyway, as long as the hanger is on straight, and not too close to the head, it should be fine.

You are entering the risk/reward zone where you must decide how far to push the envelope. Just be careful and pick your way along. If it take two weeks or two months to become comfortable, that’s OK. No worries.

Bib, Canuck, Penister, avr82big,

thank you all for your encouragement and suggestions. i’ll keep you all posted concerning further developments and if i have any questions or opinions/advice to share, i’ll do that as well.

happy gaining,
bebop
