You can not compare a hanger to the grip you can get with your fingers, there’s a world of difference.
Sure there is. The human hand can grip harder and pull with more tension than any hanger. I can pull nearly 70 pounds on a fish scale with my hand and I can grip the shaft of a dick tight enough to bring a man to his knees. But I can not hold that grip or pull that tension for very long. That is I can’t pull the tension long to be effective for a good length routine, nor can I grip the shaft long enough to cause internal injuries, but the Bib hanger can do both.
Look, I’m not trying to match wits with Piet. He is a well respected veteran of this community. Nor am I trying to tarnish the image of Bib. He is a legend, not only in this community but in all PE forums. Bib has probably made more contributions to The Craft than anyone not just with his hanger, but with his posts, theories and speculations. In the past I have recommended the Bib to as many people as anyone, maybe more. The Bib hanger was simply the best method available to attach heavy weights to ones dick. It is probably STILL the best way to attach weights over 20 pounds. But time marches on, and new innovations will come. We know more now then we did then. I personally believe, and so do many of us, that you don’t have to hang an anvil from your dick for twenty minutes at a time to make gains. And you certainly don’t have to crush your dick in a vice in order to suspend such weights. More time less weight seems a much safer and logical way to me.
I hung 25 pounds two hours a day 10 hours a week for a couple of years and I slowly gained a little length, but those gains came to a sudden halt on or about the third year. I was also doing other things so I can’t say that the Bib contributed to all that erect length gain, but I’m sure it helped. However, I paid dearly for those gains with pain, blood, sweat and tears, and with so much excess skin my once tightly circumcised shaft now looks completely uncut. I have also gained quite a bit of discoloration, not to mention a pretty nasty injury a while back to my urethra, which my doctor says was caused by the Bib. I actually took my Bib as well as a CableClamp to her and explained exactly what I was doing with the devices and she said the urethra injury was definitely caused by the Bib. Not the CableClamps, or the pump, but the hanger. I wrote about this injury and her diagnosis in several threads last year.
It has just very recently as of yesterday, in fact, come to my attention that I have gained 1/4” BPEL in the last couple of months. I can’t be certain that this came solely from vacuum hanging, because I am a PE whore who uses every method available, but it certainly hasn’t come from the Bib, because I gave up using it last year when the injury occurred, not to mention I can no longer keep it closed around my girth.
Maybe this new length gain has come from clamping, or the constant use of peweights or aggressive work with the AutoExtender, I don’t know, because I’m doing all of that plus more. All I know is that hanging with vacuum seems to be the safest and most effective way to hang moderate weights for long periods of time.
I’m not saying these hangers are safe either. It is too early to tell. I myself have sustained some pretty nasty blisters from abusing the device. But I honestly feel they are safer and more effective than any clamp style hanger.
I plan to write a thread on advanced techniques with vacuum hanging. I know I’ve been saying this for a long time, but life has been keeping me pretty busy here lately, but I will get to this, because I have picked up on a lot of good stuff I feel I should pass on. Maybe this weekend.
