What am I doing wrong?

I have finally decieded to start hanging on a regular basis. I am starting out with the homemade version to see if I can stick with the program before I invest in the real deal. But when I hang over 5lbs, I feel like someone is giving me an indian burn on my member. Is this just a growing pain caused by skin stretch (because that’s not what it feels like), or am I doing something wrong? Also, I don’t feel any stretch at the base or ligs.

First, I don’t know what an indian burn is. Skin stretch does feel a little like a burn. The harder you stretch it, the worse it is.

>Also, I don’t feel any stretch at the base or ligs. <

Just starting out, you may not feel any lig stretch at all. Not until you have stretched the skin. Skin is usually the first limiting factor.

An indian burn is when someone grips your wrist or forearm as hard as they can and twist their hand using the friction to burn & create pain. I have no idea where the name came from obviously a regional and dated expression.

Would you hang at the lower weight until you stretch out the skin - would that stretch the skin effectively? Or just grin and bear it at the higher weight. I guess the real question is would the skin adhere to the same principle as the ligs, where fatigue is the most important factor, since the discomfort effects the amount of time I can hang right now.

By the way can the bib be purchased by credit card? (just ignore this question if your sick of being asked & I’ll figure it out)

It should not feel like a friction burn, but rather a skin stretch burn. To me, they are not the same and you could be feeling a burn from friction. Hanger slippage.

>Would you hang at the lower weight until you stretch out the skin - would that stretch the skin effectively? Or just grin and bear it at the higher weight.<

Do it this way. Just hang whatever amount of weight you are comfortable with and feel a slight burn. Do this hanging straight out to begin. Then, when it no longer burns, stay at that weight, but scoot down in your chair until you feel the burn again. Continue doing this until you are hanging BTC. Then, you can go up in weight if needed.

Also, you can place the hanger closer to the base to get more skin stretch if needed.

No, I never felt a lasting soreness from skin stretch. Just the burn while doing it.

Yes, you have to use paypal, but within the US, I don’t think you have to join anymore. I gave up trying to understand it long ago. It does not seem to be too hard.

Bigger,

Among your many talents I think you also have this ability to detect different sensations better than most!! I think the skin stretching discomfort (i.e. “burn”) is just like getting an indian burn (although the thought never crossed my mind). Bigger, you are very “in tune” with your body. I think I am like some dumb monkey… for me, it is either good or bad. LOL

Although, I recently began hanging 25 pounds and I felt something different… like my guts being pulled out my dick… LOL!! Maybe this is the “stress” you have been talking about?!!

Hopelessly lost in a world of confusion,

Remember, I have experienced a hell of a lot of friction burn and skin stretch. How much trouble do you think I had in the beginning with hangers slipping?

No. When you feel the roots of your teeth coming out of your urethra, that’s about right. lol

Good one!! LOL

When I referred to the skin fatigue I meant the immediate state, that is to basically hanging til I can’t take the burn anymore. I have never had any last soreness in the skin (Just to clarify). I should have been clearer in my technique, I have been hanging exclusively BTC. So I will start hang the higher weight straight out, that should remedy the gap of feeling nothing to painful.

Thanks for the help, your knowledge and willingness to share it is greatly appreciated.
