Tunica, SO and OTS Hang Questions

Since discovering I have a low LOT I feel like I am a newbie all over again since I will now focus my time on angles starting with SO and higher.

I have questions….

1.) Does tunica fatigue feel like lig fatiuge?

2.) Do you get that “electric feeling” with tunica work?

3.) It seems much more weight is required to do the job? How are you guys dealing with it?

4,) The SO and higher angles seem tricky to set up to make them effective….what types of set-ups are most people using? pulleys? etc? I currently don’t have a pulley….am I screwed? are there other ways?

Thanks in advance..I’d like to get feedback from a few people……

bbs,

>1.) Does tunica fatigue feel like lig fatiuge?<

No, because of the location (obviously). I find that tunica fatigue is less ‘sharp’, more of a pleasant dull soreness. Hard to explain.

>2.) Do you get that “electric feeling” with tunica work?<

No not in my experience, because of the nature of the fatigue, as I say above it is more dull.

>3.) It seems much more weight is required to do the job? How are you guys dealing with it?<

Yes in general more weight will be needed to stretch the tunica, except in rare cases (such as mine). I could handle over 30 pounds BTC, but dropped weight quickly, but at SO I could use less, but also dropped weight less quickly (because the fatigue took longer to develop). Hanging in the OTS and SO positions is very different to BTC and SD, you might need to change your wrap and hanger settings. Experimentation is needed.

>4,) The SO and higher angles seem tricky to set up to make them effective….what types of set-ups are most people using? pulleys? etc? I currently don’t have a pulley….am I screwed? are there other ways?<

Yes, look up a thread called ‘tunica moves and how to do them’, started by me. There are a few ways of making pulleys and methods of hanging OTS in that thread.

Good Luck

I will look it up….thanks

A couple more…

1.)MY head seems to ballon up way more and the surface becomes glossy quicker than previous BTC and SD work….obviously lack of blook flow, any suggestions?

2.)Hanger placement? any suggestions? Higher back for SO and OTS work? IT seems the usual position might be too close to the glans for these positions.

Thanks guys…….I feeel like a newbie with 10,000 questions again

The pressure in the head while hanging may be too high. Do you hold any blood in the head while hanging? You may be wrapping too tight, or using too much wrap. Try a few new combinations and see what happens.

>2.)Hanger placement? any suggestions? Higher back for SO and OTS work? IT seems the usual position might be too close to the glans for these positions. <

At the weights I used, the hanger would slide to the glans no matter what, but there would be a ‘cushion’ from the tissues in front of the hanger placement. When the hanger was very tight, this was quite comfortable. A little further back might help, try it. Make sure to pull skin through the back of the wrap so that there is some ‘slack’ behind the hanger.

Pah, thats nothing. You should hear me asking about sex.

Guiri,

That is true. I like to be informed.

BBS,

I’m hanging strictly SO at the moment. I find I don’t get fatigue the same way I did with BTC. More like the dull ache that SS4 describes. I’m using 20 lbs hung over a hard chair, using heavy monofilament fishing line to minimize friction loss. I think my tunica could easily take another 5 to 10 lbs, but I’m not sure my glans could for the same reasons you cite. I don’t find this postion as comfortable at BTC, even though the feeling with BTC could get very intense. I have found that positioning the hanger further back does help.

Tally,

thanks…any gains yet?

I find I can move up in weight pretty fast at these higher angles. I’ve never ever hung 10 bls before at BTC, and I’m already at 10 easy at a little higher than SO. I’m using moist heat every set as well. How bout you?

If you need more stress from less weight, try fulcrum hanging. You can turn your dick (and hanger) 90 degrees to take some strain off the urethra.

Hobby,

how is fulcrum hanging working out for you??? Any gains to report yet? Are you fatiguing at a faster rate?

Twisted fulcrum hanging, along with supersetting manual stretches/jelqs/bends, broke me out of my several month long plateau. Hanging increased my base girth and no doubt helped with length.

Try a few sets and see how it feels. It hits the bottom of the shaft the most - good tunica work. When I started I used about half my BTC weight.

BBS,

I believe I have made some small gains, though I’m not a measurer. I don’t use heat now that we are into summer. I often have just exercised and so things are pretty warm down there.

I’m going to stay with SO for another month, and maybe up the poundage to 25, then shift to fulcrum hanging. I do feel that I need to stress the tunica more than I’m currently doing.

Hobby,

What is a twisted fulcrum hang? How far do you twist the hanger around?

Tally,

If you scroll up about a half an inch, Hobby gives a description of twisted fulcrum hanging….hehe

Hobby,

Now is fulcrum hanging the same as dual fulcrum hanging? I mean can’t one assume that you automatically have two fucrum points….1) where the tunica meets/exits the body, and 2) the actual fulcrum rod itself right???

Im picking up my fulcrum rod this week.

>Now is fulcrum hanging the same as dual fulcrum hanging? I mean can’t one assume that you automatically have two fucrum points….<

“Dual fulcrum” is a misnomer. “Fulcrum” may be too, but it’s the name that has stuck for hanging or stretching over an object. What we’re doing is more akin to redirecting the force via a single fixed pulley.

>1) where the tunica meets/exits the body<

This is an attachment point. It doesn’t provide leverage. Neither does the so-called “fulcrum” rod.

The terminology doesn’t matter too much, as long as everyone is on the same page. Most of us call hanging over a rod fulcrum hanging.

>What is a twisted fulcrum hang? How far do you twist the hanger around?<

I started turning the hanger to take some of the pressure off my urethra, which was getting sore (can’t be good). I either go 90 degrees or 180. The latter requires less weight, but impairs circulation more. Hanging itself stretches the arteries and veins, narrowing or closing them. Adding a severe twist shuts down blood flow even more. I limited sets to 10 minutes when I was twisted 180.

Thanks, Hobby. Food for thought when I start fulcrum hanging.
