Hmm.
My thoughts vary as I proceed down this road.
Because everyone is slightly different, it takes time (probably a year or so) to discover what works precisely for the individual.
I have heard that clamping effects length gains, yet after a month of clamping I discovered an extra 3/8” inch that I didn`t know I had.
Was that from the stretching that I`d already done religiously for months, or from the clamping it`s self?
When I clamp I only measure just over 6 1/2” erect length, yet when only semi-erect without the clamp I measure 6 7/8” in length, though not as girthy.which makes perfect physical sense.
Given that the penis is a pressurised cylinder, if it is over filled, like when it is clamped.it will fill out laterally if it is restricted length-wise by the tunica.
Simple physics suggests that when clamping the cylinder will expand where it is most able, and it seems that mine can expand sideways more easily that it can longways.
When I clamp, my girth is between 5 1/2-5 3/4” depending on how long I clamp for, and I`m sure that if I persisted with clamping for a couple of months I could reach 6”.
But not to the detriment of my length gains.
