Thinking about starting hanging

I have been on and off with jelqing before, and my longest period of being on was about 2 months, which was almost a year ago. I have recently started up jelqing again, but I am having trouble because I cannot achieve a good erection quality. I am thinking about buying the Bib Starter to start up, but I am not sure if I should start. I feel like hanging will be the best course of action for me because I am able to stay stationary for long periods of time, and I cannot get erect too easily. Please tell me if I should or should not, thank you!

AB,
Hanging requires consistency in order to be successful. A time commitment of around 2 hours minimum a day. You need to evaluate your privacy also.

When done correctly, hanging can also reduce erection quality. You may have been jelqing too hard.

I can tell you that from what I have read, most guys experience some injuries (mostly minor) from hanging.

I have experienced a few numbness episodes that lasted several weeks. That said I still hang because I have learned what things to avoid.

If you are the type of person who

1) cannot problem solve
2) gets frustrated easily
3) does not follow through or can’t commit yourself for extended periods (years)

then IMO do not hang.

Only you can decide if you should or should not hang. No one else knows all your circumstances.

I suggest you keep reading. It will help you to figure out if/how PE can be integrated into your life.

I am very committed this time around. Last time, I was getting used to college life, and could not commit at all. This time, however, I do have privacy and I can be committed. My jelqing was not hard at all, I just feel I have a weak PC muscle or something along those lines. I feel as if hanging could be very beneficial to me, but I wanted a second opinion in case I was going in too early.

AB,
I am 57, retired. I have an engineering degree. I cannot imagine how I could have worked hanging into my life then. I lived at home so that was a show stopper for hanging right there. I also needed to work very hard in order to pass tests. I also liked to party with friends. I did not have 2 hours a day to spare. I was probably living on a 2 hour a day deficit during my college years.

You may want to determine what is causing you to have weak erections before you consider hanging. Let’s face it a urologist would shutter at what a hanger does to even the healthiest of penises.

Have you tried kegels? Do you have a partner?

It takes a strong erection to display a larger penis from PE. It is rarely talked about.

I do not know much about what can cause cronic weak erections but maybe if you describe it here someone can give you some advise on how to proceed. I would search first on Erectile Disfunction and then post questions.

I live in an apartment in my college dorms, and there aren’t many parties that I’d like to go to here. I do have time because of that, and I CAN work this in.
I honestly have no clue what it could be. I do kegels almost daily now, but I had stopped before because I stopped PE in general. I do not have a partner at the moment. The kegels seem to be increasing my EQ, but it’s cold here so everything just shrivels up LOL.

I am trying to increase EQ first, which is why my jelqing routine is very light.
Warm up in shower
stretching about 3-5 minutes
100 Dry Jelqs (overhand, from the base, 1-3 counts each) 10-50% erect
warm down

M-W-F, going to add 5 jelqs every 2 weeks. I also do kegels every day that I go jogging (100 3 count kegels), which comes out to about 4-5 times a week

I believe that kegels will help me with the low EQ. Ever since I started jelqing and kegeling, I have experienced increased morning wood, which I never really had before I started PE.

AB,
Morning wood is a good sign. Maybe your erections are not as weak as you think.

It always surprises me when a guys stretched length equals his erect length. To me this implies a very strong erection. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the average difference is 1/2" (stretched > erect). Longer guys report a greater difference.

I can see where the girth to length ratio can come into play on this. A larger girth to length ratio suggests a greater BPFSL to BPEL difference.

It sounds like you really want to try hanging and have done some level of the Newbie Routine.

Have you read much on Bib’s Forum. https://www.bibhanger.com ?

Hmm, that’s kind of weird. My erections never reach 100%, however.

Really? That’s kind of weird to me, maybe something’s wrong? LOL.

My girth is probably about 3.14 inches, not too sure about it

Yes I have read up on how to hang, and I have watched the tutorial someone posted. I will read up a bit more before I start, and I will order the bib starter to make sure I do it properly. Hopefully, this will be beneficial to me.

I’m gonna borrow this thread because I’ve got a similar “problem”.

Ok to get to the point: I’ve decided that I want to start hanging BUT my problem is: My girth is under 5 inches erect and even less when flaccid, so which hanger would fit for me?

Quote from BIB’s site: “(You MUST BE OVER six inches in length, and MUST BE OVER five inches in girth, in order to use the regular effectively.)”

So I guess I’m too small for normal BIB hanger? How about that “BIB Starter” which is also a little bit cheaper?

If BIB Starter isn’t good choice for me then what is? You can freely suggest different purchase-able hanging devices!

I’m not sure about the Bib (or any other commercial devices) but an AFB hanger will work with any girth and I doubt is any worse than any commercial hanger, vacuum hangers left apart maybe.

Heimdall87,

From the BIB site:

The Bib Starter works for guys with at least 3.5 inches erect length* and 3.5 inches erect girth*.

The Bib Starter can accommodate a maximum erect girth* of approximately 6.5 inches. There are no limits on erect length.

*NOTE: Erect girth measurements are used to give you some approximate guidelines. NEVER HANG WHILE YOUR PENIS IS ERECT!

I have the Bib regular and the Bib hardcore. IMO they are the best for hanging decent amounts of weight. The support that Bib (Bigger Is Better) gives “for free” makes his products a tremendous value.

If you have problems using any other device then you will have to hope that someone on some forum can help you sort it out.

I have used the vac devices. They are ok if you stay light are very careful about avoiding blisters. I use them for an ADS.

SheLovesIt thank you for your rapid answer and helpful information. I think I’m gonna order BIB Starter pretty soon.

I’ve got an ADS-vac device from autoextender and I’ve been doing light hangings with it but my glans gets really really swollen when I use it for hanging. And besides I want to do hanging on higher weights!

Whats decent amount of weight to you? 10lbs? 15lbs?

Heimdall87,

>Whats decent amount of weight to you? 10lbs? 15lbs?<

Everyone is different but it seems that you need to have good technique and conditioned tissues in order to hang more that around 6-8 lbs without experiencing discomfort and other problems. This seems to be girth dependent as you can imagine.

At the beginning you should focus more on technique. Read a lot. Especially the threads where some guy is having problems, like swollen glans, numbness, erection problems. Learn what they were doing wrong so you do not repeat their mistakes. Mistakes can cause downtime.

Wrapping is an art so don’t assume that anything will do. A sloppy or tight wrap will kill a good hang session and waste a lot of time. The attachment discomfort will mask the real fatigue you want to experience.

Six years ago I was hanging 15-17 regularly. I hung 20 - 22.5 just as an experiment. I was using the Bib regular. The Bib Starter can handle big weight too. It is more about tissue conditioning when you get over 10 lbs.

Heavy girth work while hanging for gains is verboten due to the edema causing attachment problems. Length first, then girth.

I restarted hanging last September. I hang every day and so far I have not hung over 15. I have not needed to.
I have had to reduce to 11.25 and that is a good thing. I have never had this much soreness in my hanging career. This is a balancing act. On one arm of the balance is wasted time, on the other arm is injury.

If you follow Bib’s advise, you hang for fatigue, as much as you can deal with or have time for. Do not increase weight unless you no longer reach fatigue in the first couple sets.

Hanging sounds more glamorous and magical than it really is. The truth is that hanging is real hard work, even after you have learned to use the hanger, which for many is a long process.

I know, because I jumped into hanging way early, thinking it was the key to the kingdom. I really did not have the time nor the privacy to do it properly and my personal life suffered greatly from that. I then tried it one more time after I got my own place, but it was still a pain in the ass.

I will try hanging one more time and it will probably be needed to reach my final length goal, but I will not do it until I`m in a situation that allows for it. I know what it takes and it`s not done in one month.

Judging from what you write, you should get consistent with a manual routine that will take you 1/2 or 1/4 of the time you would use hanging and it will probably give you better gains as well. Find out and improve your erection problems.

Go to those parties and don`t sit home with a hanger on your dick. You will regret it if not. It`s a time in your life that you don`t get back.

What do you think? :)

‘Go to those parties and don`t sit home with a hanger on your dick.’

This should go in the quotes.

Double ditto to Marinera’s sentiments
