Hanging For Girth?

Does pure hanging ever attribute to girth gains? I thought I recall reading that hanging increases girth at the base of the shaft more than anything. If that’s true, then why?

Second question: Do you hangers normally do anything else along with your hanging? Or do you mainly leave it at that?

I read somewhere here an opinion about the girth increase at the base with hanging: If you look at the anatomy of the penis, you can notice that the penis girth increase while going inside the body. And if you consider that hanging pull the inner penis to the out of the body, you can explain the base girth increase.

Hangers usually do other exercises with the hanging, like jelq and other girth exercises.

I agree with PEgain about the explanation for base girth gains.

Let me bring up quickly that hangers might combine other excercises with hanging, but it’s not always the smartest approach.

I think it’d be reasonable to combine manual stretching excercises, but girth-based excercises are better saved for after you’ve achieved your length goals with hanging.

Also, and may be in particular, hanging in different directions increases base girth a lot in my personal experience.

The inner penis is thinner than the outer penis. Also, the penis can’t protrude out, because it’s fixed to the body. Hanging gives base girth because most of the stress is placed on the base. Pretty simple.

If you look at this Henry Gray drawing you can see there’s an area called ‘Bulb’ which makes the innerpenis thicker. I don’t know if this is what causes the increase in basegirth but if we can expose innerpenis by hanging than this new exposed area may be thicker because of the bulb. You should be able to recognize the bulb influence by a thicker CS at the base.

The bulb is part of the urethra. The pic exactly shows that the inner penis is smaller than the outer, I think; it’s clearer here:

Is this pic more accurate?

I think we need a 3D model of this here "penis".

I think the inner penis is “inner” for a reason.

Look at fig. 11158.

Cosigned.

1158 shows it from the side. 1154 shows it from the top.

Can you see how when viewing it at another angle, the inner penis is actually thicker?

If you count a tail as a leg, does a dog have 5 legs? No, it still only has 4.

<<….The root of the penis lies in the perineum between the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm and the fascia of Colles. In addition to being attached to the fasciæ and the pubic rami, it is bound to the front of the symphysis pubis by the fundiform and suspensory ligaments..>>

This alone disproofs the ‘outing penis’ or ‘ligs gains’ hypothesis.

The inner penis is thinner, I think: the volume of the penis in the pics linked above shows it clearly; other than that, one can do a simple experiment: while erect, pull back the skin at the base of the penis, showing a bit more of the ‘hidden penis’ : for me, and anyone else I’ve seen doing such manouvre, the penis is thinner the closer to the body it goes.

Another point: if the inner penis is coming out, than it’s the foremost stressed part; anyone has read ‘I had aching in my inner penis after my PE session’? I’ve never read.

Again: penis surgery produce negligible gains in erect state, despite the fact that ligs are cut; as for length:
<<…The advancement of the penis by ligamentolysis does not produce genuine lengthening because the length of the penile structures remains the same; any increase in penile length is noticeable when ¯accid but is minimal when erect….>>

as for girth, no one who had penis surgery (by suspensory ligs cut) wrote about increased penile girth, if my memory serves.

Just found another interesting thing (thank you search engine):

I think what you’re reacting to in ModestoMan’s pic might be an overlap of other parts of his body in the xray that hide the precise dimensions of the shaft.

I do not think the width gets any smaller.. it doesn’t make physiological sense. It’d be anatomically correct if it were thicker as it gets closer to the body, to anchor the penis on.

I might be able to see how it might be tongue shaped, whereby it gets thinner in depth as it anchors on to those points way far back towards the bulbs, but I do believe the width only expands.

This could perhaps be modified with jelqing-style programs where guys get the “baseball bat” shape.

I’m feeling all the way up my shaft as I type this, with weights hanging off my penis, and I do not feel any shrinkage in width as I get closer to the body. It only expands. For guys that haven’t developed a baseball bat shape yet, you could re-create this by stretching manually and feeling up the shaft.
