Goodwood
First of all I want to thank you all for this forum. I am a newbie to PE. Yes, another newbie, so please don’t run away. I am trying to find out what works for me. I haven’t started the heavy stuff.
I made my own AFB hanger. It is a variation to Tom’s but easier to make. No tools necessary. It requires cutting the sides of a hanger with a kitchen knife and rubber bands (needed to hold the sides). I even used the hooks that came with the hangers. I uploaded a photo of the hanger (top and side view). I don’t use the one in the photo. I had to remove the metal part because it gets in the way of things…you know what I mean.
My hanger is made of 2 hooks (came with the 2 hangers), 2 rubber bands (came with broccoli), 2 gray sides (walls) of the hanger, and 2 cut-pieces (also from the hanger to provide more width between the walls). What can I say, I am crazy about recycling. The hanger works and I can attach 8 lbs for over 20 mins. I started with 8 lbs; it used to be kind of uncomfortable (nearly on the border of painful). In my last session (just did it), it was surprisingly comfortable. If I had more weights, I would have tried heavier ones.
Now my problems-yes problem with s- is that I am uncut (I don’t know if this good or bad) and dumb (definitely bad). I tried to follow BIB’s instructions to wrap…does not work at all, or my brain seems unable follow the directions(stems from the fact of being dumb!). The only way I found is to wrap with the foreskin covering the glans. The major problem is the darkening discoloration of the foreskin. Not the part that is wrapped and under the hanger pressure, but actually the part that stays out. There is no pressure on this part from the hanger, but gets a lot of discolorations. Tonight I got one on the tip of the foreskin. In addition to that, the uncovered(not wrapped) part when I remove the wrap will be darker in color then the rest. This is what is holding me back. I go through a cycle: hang once, and wait for few days to hang again.
I direct my questions to Goodwood mainly because he’s uncut; I appreciate feedback from members:
1- How do you wrap? Do you retract the foreskin or leave it covering the glans?
2- Have you experienced any discolorations on the foreskin? any idea how to avoid it?
3- Is this hanger no good?(since the sides are not solid rectangles, maybe is exerting more pressure on the glans)
4- Can I hang for more than 20 minutes? Yes/NO (there are so many conflicting theories here)
Thanks.
