Is this dangerous? [Head swelling]

I’m hanging using a bibhanger and I’m attaching it behind the glans. But I my glans always swells up during the session.
Is this dangerous?

I also notice that the hanger draws towards the glans corona (the edge) and it bends a bit during the hanging. How about that?
The only way to avoid head swelling is to attach the bib over half of the glans.

This is actually good, it expands the head which leads to growth. You just do not want the head to go cold as a result of hanging too long.

Is it really? I’ve seen swelling of the head being described as dangerous, plus it looks freaky as hell.

And I haven’t found out how to hang without it swelling. If I apply a looser wrap then it’s just going to slip.

Any advice from experienced members?

Attach the hanger not quite so far onto the head. The final resting place should be on the shoulders. Squeeze blood out of the head whilst tightening up as well. The hanger should grab ahold of the internals.

Sometimes throughout the session it fills with blood again- I have come to think this is unavoidable but as long as the head is still a little spongy it is not causing any abnormal ppressure that might lead to discolouration right?

Squeeze your head before you tighten the hanger because eventually you’re going to get dots or a blood blister if there’s too much pressure. You do not want to be hanging from the head alone and as someone else said attach the hanger farther back.

Somehow it always slips after the initial attachment. At best I’ve hung with like 1-2cm gap between hanger and glans. But as I said, it slips down towards the glans and finds it final resting on or close to the glans.

What I do is, tighten it a bit until I feel it clinging onto my shaft. I then push it forward whilst still tightening a little. You get it into a position before the head where it doesn’t really want to go any further. So it’s like you’re using the hanger and stretching your flaccid dick out to the maximum then you just carry on tightening down.

Make sure you get as much skin behind the hanger as possible too. Oh and I missed out the step of squeezing blood out of the head. I do that after I’ve pulled it forward after the first few turns. I’m not 100% sure but I think the technique is called pulse pushing. But just pulling it forward into a comfortable spot works wonders.

Also during the set I tighten it more even now and then to make sure it’s fully grasping the internals.

Close to the glans is fine so long as your head isn’t virtually the only thing holding it in place. Perhaps adjust your hanger settings. The teeth need to be close to being meshed together when fully tightened if you’re using a bib.

I’ll describe how it feels when I get it right (I think) and wrong. I’m using a chickenchoker so I can’t push out the blood after attaching the hanger, but I do prior to.

When I get it wrong I feel an immediate pressure building up in my glans. It very quickly becomes painful. Feeling like the head is going to explode. I have to remove it immediately because I feel something isn’t right. It seems like the hanger is grasping on the glans.

When I get it right, or what I think is right, my glans swells kind of moderately. It’s way bigger than normal for flaccid but it still feels a little bit spongy so there’s no problem there. It looks like the hanger is very close to the head, but not just behind it, like maybe 1-1,5cm or something like that. This is the furhest back I’ve been able to hang properly. I don’t feel any pain, I can feel occasional slight discomfort, but it’s VERY very weak discomfort.

However, my glans always gets cold and somehow blood flow is restricted, because I get major discoloration. The thing is, I only get discoloration in about 40% of the upper glans, so it’s not the hanger causing it. It’s the wrap somehow slipping and tightening to secure itself halfway up the glans. I’ve never been able to avoid this. However, I don’t feel any discomfort, except for cold or mild burning sensations in the head after about 10 minutes, and when I take it off the natural color returns very quickly. I do not experience any loss of sensation. I scrape my glans gently with my nail to see that there is no numbness.

Ofcourse I will try to improve my technique all the time but I think (hope?) it is safe to hang as I do, because I don’t really seem to be able to get past the discoloration.

It may seem wrong but try grabbing higher up until you find a spot that doesn’t gorge the head. You’ll know it when you find it.
