Hanging near the base and having no option.

Some people, who decide to hang, might have short penis’s right?

From what I have learnt here from the experts, and from various others such as “guru” BIB, and other great PE minds, it’s best to hang one inch behind the glans.

This makes sense as it targets both the tunica and the ligs. (Depending on angles etc).

But my following point is this. If you have a flaccid hang of 4 inches (which lets face it is over average more or less), then hanging one inch behind the glans leaves three inches of exposed penis to hang from.

Now lets take into consideration, for instance a BIB hanger, the actual “held” amount of penis when it’s attached is around 1.5-2 inches.

This leaves more or less a vision of hanging from the base of the penis, so lets take a closer look at what this means..

As people are made to believe this would stretch the skin more than the penis/ligs.

This would target the ligs and not the tunica.

This would leave a small amount of room to play with, making it hard to adjust the hanger to the correct spot.

Some people have no option other than to hang from the base to start with.

My opinion stands, please comment.

When I start hanging I am going to hang from the base. I don’t think there is better documented evidence than Saiyan’s thread to show that hanging from the base is the way to go. Maybe if other mid-shaft hangers had amazing thorough documentation then I could be swayed. But I really think the best course of action is to follow the leader…

Hey I appreciate the support on my hanging approach dude. Yeah I think mid-shaft hanging is a decent approach as well but the main problem that I ran into when I tried hanging with the hanger 1 inch behind the glans is that my EQ would often get wrecked when reaching 10 pounds or more. With tunica hanging from the base with your legs bent the way I described the shaft within the base and scrotum is alot stronger more durable and can take a plastic deformed beating without diminishing your EQ in the process.

As I understand the BIB Hanger and other compression-style hangers, they all work by compressing and holding blood in the distal CCs, which provide a “plug” or “shoulder” that the hanger can push against. If there’s no distal compression, the hanger pulls forward (sometimes painfully) and stretches only skin.

So I wonder what’s really going on for you guys who attach the hanger at the base. Does the hanger pull the skin forward? Are your distal CCs compressed? Or are you just stretching skin? Basically, how is any stress transferred to your tunica?

Hey ModestoMan. I could be wrong because I’ve never tried a BIB hanger but I do think that hanging at the base with a BIB may run into problems with skin pulling simply because I don’t think the Bib will be able to grip the shaft at the base tight enough. I use a home made hanger. The pipe repair clamp device that I use as a hanger is able to grip the shaft extremely tight if you want it to. With good wrapping the pipe repair clamp won’t really have to be that tight anyway but as long as what ever device you are using can grip the shaft in a tight but comfortable manner while hanging at the base you should be fine.

I clamp more or less right at the base, I have to, it moves forward no matter how tight I clamp the BIB. I have the bottom hex nuts very close together and I tighten the teeth on the top very close. Sometimes it’s so tight I feel like the penis is being damaged, so I ease off.

I get it to the most comfortable tightness possible without it falling off and I pulse push as suggested by a member here while I tighten, until I’m more or less at one inch behind the glans. That’s where it stays, I feel a good stretch but sometimes if I don’t go as far back as possible to start with, It hurts the glans while hanging.

I pinch the skin at the base of the shaft while hanging to see how tight the skin is, if it’s loose, I always thought this is a good indication that the inner shaft is being stretched more than the skin.

I sometimes do push ups against the wall while hanging, so I’m hanging SD and SO, between the exercises, I feel stretch transfer from ligs to shaft. But does the shaft stretch where the 1/5-2 inch clamp is gripped onto? Because it’s holding that part of the shaft tight in the clamp, it doesn’t sound like that part would stretch?

17ml why don’t you get some advise from bib or other really experienced hangers on how to wrap and attach the hanger properly. Saiyans mentioned before he has cut up some washing up rubber gloves because they help to avoid slipping, of course you know the material I mean. Maybe you could ask on bibs forum or something? But I would definitely think the slippage problem is due to an inferior wrapping technique.

I think I’m wrapping correctly, I’ve asked around here and BIB I don’t think it’s the wrapping that’s an issue.

Yeas, you have to apply the hanger near the base; while hanging, the hanger will move toward the glans. Having some blood inside the penis helps creating the ‘plug’ MM is speaking of. The force that is tranferred to TA is residual anyway; most of the tension will be absorbed by ligs and skin. I don’t think there is a way to change this using a Bib or a AFB hanger.

Using a vac-hanger the penis will be pulled from the tip mostly, so it should be more effective (using comparable weigths).

Assuming the hanger is attached properly (as I understand it), with the distal CCs compressed and the hanger pushing against the “plug,” the entire penis can be made to feel the stress, from end to end, and whether the ligs or the tunica primarily get the stress is really just a question of hanging angle.

If the distal CCs are compressed and the hanger is pushing against them, then the force applied to the hanger gets transmitted (via compression) to the very distal tips of the CCs. The amount of tension felt at the tips equals the applied weight (minus skin stretch). It has to equal it to keep the system in static equilibrium.

The same force is also felt behind the hanger, since the distal “plug” is really just a means for attachment from which the weight is hanging. So it really doesn’t matter where you attach the hanger. The entire penis feels the stretch, both in front of the hanger and behind it. Hang at a high angle and you’ll feel the stress all the way back to the pelvic insertion points. Hang at a low angle and you’ll feel it in your ligs, as well as in your external tunica.

This explanation would not hold if the hanger really does “grip the internals” at its point of application, with no distal compression. But I have never convinced myself that this actually happens. I think the skin covering the penis is way too loosely adhered to allow direct gripping of the tunica.

On a second read, I understand better your doubt. I think the only part of the penis that isn’t stretched is the section where the ‘plug’ forms, above the hanger - that part is actually not pulled, but compressed.

The part under the hanger is stretched at the same time it is compressed.

I seem to remember that you are uncut: in this case the ‘plug’ will be formed mostly by the skin.

As said, I think if you use a clamp-style hanger you can reduce these problems but don’t really eliminate them - you should switch to a vac-hanger, that pulls from the tip; but in this case you can use less weight. Most part of the penis will be pulled even with a clamp-style hanger, anyway.

When I stretch manually I always wear my silicone cup. I find I get a much better stretch with less skin stretch. But I don’t hold on to the cup - I perform a regular manual stretch.

The cup provides a “plug” to a certain degree. Even though most of the grip pressure I apply with my hands goes into the actual shaft (right underneath the cup), some of the pressure is applied to the bottom rim of my silicone cup (where the bottom rim of the cup meets the penis shaft).

If I were to pull the cup directly, rather than the shaft, the cup would probably slip off. But stretching underneath the cup allows me to apply pressure to the shaft, and only the “left over” pressure/tension is transferred to the cup.

I am wondering if wearing a silicone cup while hanging would have the same benefits. It would be a kind of hybrid between vac hanging and regular traction hanging. Most of the compression/traction would be applied to the shaft, but the silicone cup would absorb some of the force when the hanger slides down.

So this way, most of the force is applied to the shaft, but a little bit is applied to the cup thus pulling the head and upper shaft rather than skin.

So when wearing a BIB hanger for example, The tissue that’s being griped by the hanger, (the part of the penis not visible, that’s actually plugged inside the hanger) in my case is about 1.25-1.5 inches is actually not under tension as much as the shaft behind the hanger and in front of it?

If this is the case, at least one third of the penis is not getting the full potential of the stretch. So hanging one hour per day and thinking your penis as a whole is getting the 100% benefit would be a theory based on ignorance?

I’m not saying it doesn’t get a stretch at all, but is not getting the strong pull like the rest of the shaft.

So, with hanging at angles aimed at tunica (shaft) stretching more than lig stretching, would be more hindered by this “gripped” part of the shaft, and if hanging lets say for instance SO, or OTS, not only would you be neglecting the ligaments for a targeted area but also hindering the tunica for a full 100% stretch, because of the hanging grip section of the shaft.

So with a 4.0 inch flaccid penis for example, hanging 5 lbs 3 x 20 mins per day one would expect the following equation?

Hanging @ Downwards/BTC angles = Ligaments stretch + small shaft stretch (4.0”) - Gripped shaft area (1.25”) = (2.75”) of total shaft being worked out to full potential plus ligs remain unhindered.

In this instance the ligs are unaffected, but in the following equations..

Hanging @ Outwards/Upwards angles = tunica shaft stretch (4.0”) - Gripped shaft area (1.25”) = maximum hanging potential per session effects (2.75”) of total penis.

The main theory of hanging upwards/outwards is to target the tunica (shaft) more, but the gripped part of the penis, could be hindering some people. Especially if they are cut?

The rest is just compressed ? Or at least stretched a little but not to the full potential like we are led to believe?

What do you think big M’s?

RE EDITED

Sorry this is how this post should look. Disregard the above post. It has errors.

So when wearing a BIB hanger for example, The tissue that’s being griped by the hanger, (the part of the penis not visible, that’s actually plugged inside the hanger) in my case is about 1.25-1.5 inches is actually not under tension as much as the shaft behind the hanger and in front of it?

I’m not saying it doesn’t get a stretch at all, but is not getting the strong pull like the rest of the shaft.

So, with hanging at angles aimed at tunica (shaft) stretching more than lig stretching, would one be correct in assuming one would be hindered by this “gripped” part of the shaft, and if hanging lets say for instance SO, or OTS, not only would you be neglecting the ligaments for a targeted area (unlike SD or BTC) but also hindering the tunica for a full 100% stretch, because of the hanging grip section of the shaft.

So with a 4.0 inch flaccid penis for example, hanging 5 lbs 3 x 20 mins per day one would expect the following equations..

Hanging @ Downwards/BTC angles = Targeted ligaments stretch (unknown”) + small shaft stretch (4.0”) - Gripped shaft area (1.25”) = (2.75”) of total shaft being worked out to full potential plus ligs (unkown”) remain unhindered.

In this instance the ligs (unknown”) are unaffected, but in the following equation..

Hanging @ Outwards/Upwards angles = Targeted tunica shaft stretch (4.0”) - Gripped shaft area (1.25”) - ligs (unknown”) workout (due to hanging angles) = maximum hanging potential per session effects (2.75”) of total penis.

The main theory of hanging upwards/outwards is to target the tunica (shaft) more, but the gripped part of the penis, could be hindering some people. Especially if they are cut?

The rest is just compressed ? Or at least stretched a little but not to the full potential like we are led to believe?

The part inside the hanger is stretched, why not? It is actually stretched and ‘spread’ at the same time, so the effect should be even more effective. The hanger can’t be that tight, what really holds it is the ‘plug’, not the compressive force. At least, that’s my understanding.
