remek, I couldn't agree more. Like you, I have never did much hanging nor have I noticed a thicker base. From all the anecdotal evidence we have base thickening seems to have a definite correlation to hanging. It could very well be the lengthen of ligaments moving muscle and penis forward. I know Wad reported good base girth gains but he didn't hang. You would have to reason some manual exercises would mimic the force generated from hanging. Whatever the stimulus the results would be similar. You make some really good points. If the BS and IC muscles are indeed strengthened and/or enlarged you would reason there would be other side effects. The contraction of the IC muscle is responsible for an erection (see quote below) and the BS muscle for ejaculation. So, one would think, as you said, these attributes would become more powerful. It would be good to include some hanging/girth based questions on the next survey.
Quote:
"Activation of the autonomic nerve produces a full erection, that is, filling and trapping of blood in the cavernous bodies. After full erection is achieved, contraction of the ischiocavernosus muscle (from activation of the somatic nerves) compresses the proximal corpora and raises the pressure in the entire corpora well above the systolic blood pressure, resulting in rigid erection. This rigid phase occurs naturally during masturbation or sexual intercourse but can also occur from slight bending of the penis, without muscular action."
