Red spots from clamping

During my last couple of weeks clamping, I developed small red spots around my shaft.
Nothing bigger than a period (.)

3 days break,l when clamp they appear again.

These won’t go away as quickly as I’m used to.
I love my clamping,and would like to keep going.
Is it safe to continue with some red spots around the shaft?

Red spots can mean small tears under the skin . You would help to keep these under control if you use less force in clamping

Give things a rest for a week, then try again with a lighter clamp.

I’ve gotten these a couple times while clamping. Fire-rolls do wonders. I do then throughout the day.

Yes, firegoat rolls do help a lot with them, but they are still a sign that you are insufficiently conditioned for the amount of pressure you are creating. Build it up steadily. Heed the ‘warning signs’.

Just another thought that may not apply, but will to some guys, and is worth knowing (I probably should give it it’s own thread). When I used to smoke, I got red spots far more easily and with less pressure. Quitting helped a lot.

I don’t smoke, but I stuff nicotine under my lip. ” It’s a Scandinavian thing :)

Don’t know if I can quit that though

That’s also somewhat popular here in the United States, commonly know as dipping, or chewing.

I don’t think is the same thing.
We call it snus

It’s very popular in Scandinavia (80% of my friends do it), among guys though.
Not a good look for girls.

I think your chewing tobacco is different.

So do you use the ‘Thunder Blue’ or ‘Thunder Frosted’ Snus? :)

LoL ! Never tried that brand before,maybe that snus is better for clamping :)
I’m more of a General type of guy. The classics

Nah it’s the same stuff generally. Though you may be right about chewing tobacco, as I do know of some that’s just loose leaf.
Personally, I like their Travis Club cigars :cancer:
