swaffel, since your story has been rudely received in the “significant gainers” thread, I hope you will continue here, in your own progress thread.
There was a time at Thunders many years ago when a dozen members would have congratulated you on your gains and tried out your ideas. Nowadays it seems people are so accustomed to being exploited and lied to that they immediately disbelieve anything extraordinary. It’s an effective way to safeguard against people trying to take advantage of community trust, but it also dulls the chances of true discovery.
Speaking of that, I think the namba is something very much worth our attention as PE’ers. If there is a culture with a 1000+ year tradition of wearing an ADS, they have probably perfected certain aspects of it. A little research revealed that nambas and kotekas are common garb in many Pacific island cultures. And that many of them simply wear it as a covering for the male genitals, no PE purpose intended, although it is surely playing the role of an ADS anyway. I also know that the cultures of the Pacific islands, while related, are incredibly diverse owing to the geographic isolation of the islands.
The island of Tanna, for example, has 12,000 inhabitants, and somewhere from 7-10 languages are spoken there. No doubt it is a similar situation on many of the thousands of polynesian islands Crossing the Pacific is dangerous, and these tribes or cultures could go many generations between visiting the nearby tribes. Their languages diverged, as did their customs. It is not unfathomable to think that the traditional use of the namba as a piece of clothing gradually evolved into a form of PE for a specific culture on a specific island, while the rest of Polynesia continued wearing them as nothing more than a piece of clothing.
So I’ve made my own makeshift namba, which I wore for 8 hours straight yesterday. It’s a cock coil sheath (lead wire in a coil) suspended by my belt loop. I quickly recognized this was a superior way of wearing the cock coil. It solved a lot of the problems of wearing it for extended periods of time. My unit rested weightless, fully supported by the namba, even with an extra pound of lead. Circulation was good. It held its position while standing, seated, or moving. Airflow around the package was good. There were no chafing or continuous pressure points that could cause aggravation or discomfort. In short, the Pacific islanders know their ADS’ing.
While it is an excellent ADS, I am curious to know more. I am at a point in my PE where I’ve realized my base girth gains are lagging behind my upper shaft gains. I’ve also had the thought “how much girth can I really gain if my inner penis is still 4” or 4.5” in girth?” Your post the other day inspired me to stop neglecting the roots of the penis and the ‘inner shaft’ covered by the genitals, but as of now the only way I can think to do this is with my hands, using whatever grip I can muster through the skin to do hand clamps and bends. The spermatic cords are in the way and make it difficult.
You hinted that the namba and perhaps other techniques you observed on the islands promoted base girth, specifically working the penis in the upright position. To me it seems like an excellent ADS but I don’t immediately notice how it would help base girth. An ADS alone doesn’t give much gains, so the islanders must be doing something more. The upright position pumping does make some sense as I think it could cause a bend effect that would promote girth growth in the base CS. The namba for base girth is a mystery though. One thought is the “reverse clamp” effect. In other words, what happens when you get an erection in a well wrapped namba? The upper shaft is compressed. Does that mean the base shaft swells beyond its normal girth in a reverse clamp effect?
Hope you’ll continue posting. And congrats on your gains!
