Clamping Question Specific, not generic question about it

Ok, I recently started clamping and I started with btc stretch, v-stretches, then 200 jelqs, then 5 min clamp for first ever clamp and then 2 sets of 10 minutes. I have this thing could cable cuffs, which is basically the same thing as the cable clamps everyone else was talking about. My problem arises from when I clamp with the screw facing down.. There is space on the top and bottom of the () shape so when I lose the erection (and even probably when I still have it) blood can still get out. Doesn’t this defeat the whole purpose? The next 2 sets I did with the screw on the side and it seemed to hold the blood better, but I did make myself keep an erection the whole time. Basically this is my question, should I not worry about the fact that blood can still escape and do it () and make sure to keep an erection the whole time as for less chance of blood escaping or should I just do it with the screw to one side until I get more girth so that I don’t have this problem anymore. Very oddly worded, I know. Thanks.

My suggestion is to use a thicker wrap, which will accomplish two things: 1) You’ll have a tighter fit, achieving the pressure necessary to make gains and 2) you’ll mitigate the “sharp” edges of the clamp which can pinch and hurt. Any soft material will do. I have had very good luck with chamois - which you can buy from any auto shop.

Thanks. I was just looking around.. Am I supposed to use 1 or 2 clamps? And if two, the second one goes right above the first one right? I can’t get a definite answer that I see.

Zero:

Good advice from danwike all around. Clamping with the screw down is safe. It keeps the clamp from putting too much pressure on the dorsal and ventral sides of the shaft and also distributes most of the pressure on the tougher sides of the shaft. Sure some return blood flow will seep back through the big dorsal vein on the back of your dick, this is why you jelq the clamp(press toward the body) to keep fresh blood coming in. More blood will come in than goes out, because the arteries are deep inside the penis and not obstructed by the clamp. By using thicker wrap you can slow the back flow but most definitely this () is the shape you want.

I never thought of Chamois. That stuff is very soft, might just be the perfect underwrap.

No use one clamp only.

Thanks a lot for this insightful reply, Big Girtha!

I learned from your signature that you gained 2 inches of girth via PE, that is awesome!! I wonder how much % of those girth gains can be blamed on clamping? By the way: successful guys like you help keeping my hopes up about PE.

Thanks danwilke and big girtha. I will definatly try that stuff out and I’ll make sure to keep an erection for as much of the time as possible so the pressure is higher. Thanks.
