Should it hurt the skin or inner penis to put the stretcher on? Should the head become slightly engorged with a bit of blood, which starts to ache and hurt after 10-15 min. What should it look and feel like when I hang. I’ve read as many threads as I could find, but most just give a general description of how to apply the hanger and wrapping, and that it should ache after 20 min, but where is not described. I find it to be rather uncomfortable and slightly painful at first (until the pain numbs away) to hang.
Thick17,
Even if the 7.5 pounds doesn’t feel like much, build up to the 10 at about 1 pound increase per week. In doing this, your unit is being conditioned and has a chance to get used to more weight.
If your skin is hurting then you’re getting skin pull which is good in the beginning because you need the extra skin for the penis to "grow" into. I squeeze the blood out of my head as much as possible because if I don’t, it gets engorged. Aching is not good, so squeeze the blood out and you will notice a decrease in the pain, if not total alleviation.
I forget - are you using the Bib? Bib posted a wrapping tutorial on here. You can find it here: Wrapping drawings. Wrapping takes a little getting used to, but once you learn, it’s easy. The hanger should be placed below your circ scar (presuming you are cut) so you have room to pull up the hanger to form the shoulders. The shoulders are what the hanger will rest on to avoid it going over your head. I hope you’re not saying your penis goes numb during hanging. That is very dangerous. Hang no more than 20 minutes at a time; after that tissue death starts to occur. After your 20 minutes, jelq lightly to get the blood circulating and warm up with some moist heat. The jelqing should be for a few minutes, maybe 5 then warm back up with the moist heat for another 5. The redo your wrap and hanging. Hope that helps.
