The Penis (smooth) Muscle Theory - Page 15

Update: Iguana and I are looking to get a concise post about theory out sometime this week. It might be early next week, though, as Valentine's Day has been known to cause a few setbacks for many non-single men

When you did your hanging, were you exclusively focusing on length, or was that when you were clamping too?

I focused only on hanging. I used only the BIB hangers too...well the "Starter" and "hardcore Starter" (no gel cushion). Used as much as 27.5lbs at one point...but mainly between 15-17.5lbs after spending many months working up to that level of course.

Interesting. Thanks for the answers, SWM! When you were hanging were you mainly gaining length? Do you feel that clamping or hanging helped more with your erection quality?

I've never (yet) had issues with erections even before PE. I will say from experience, when I was hanging after a long day of hanging, I would get "throbbing hard" erections when I got aroused later on. The same applies now when I finish a day of stretching. I attribute the 'throbbing' to tissue fatigue...it feels good though!

Thank you, SWM!

I think you're probably dead on with the throbbing being attributed to "tissue fatigue."

I'm not sure if you had a chance to read about this theory or not (the best overview of it is here), but your experience might go along with the theory. It's possible that your tunica was fatigued from the hanging, thus lessening the "gap" between the SM and tunica.

What do you think? What about you, Iguana?

I'm honestly not sure how to answer that. Nothing personal. I've just never gotten wrapped up much in the various "theories" that have floated around the various PE forums over the years. I've just done the work, and been rewarded with gains. When the "LOT Theory" was floating around, and considered the 'rule of thumb' when hanging, I pretty much ignored it, and just did my hanging....for example.

Nothing works like the best recipe of them all, eh? Perseverance and Persistence.

So you think maybe the tunica started retracting after long sessions? Maybe as a protective response?

Is it possible his gains came mostly from lig stretching? I have always reasoned that hanging would mostly target the tunica. However, I have never did any hanging, so I can't really say that with certainty. I know when I stretch with a Captn's Wench I feel it almost solely in my ligs. He could have gained some smooth muscle from hanging also. We know that a smooth muscle response to stretch is growth. It may be with extended hanging times that the smooth muscle starts to absorb some of the stress leading to the fatigue he spoke of?

Possibly. I've noticed the same phenomena myself. I haven't put in too many hanging hours, but I recall on several occasions that right after a hanging session my penis would be extremely hard over the next 24 hours, sometimes more.

Yea, but wouldn't this counteract what we're saying here (hanging and stretching mainly targets the tunica)?

The ligaments idea is a possibility. How much of your hanging gains do you think came from lig gains, SWM?

Good question! I really don't feel qualified to speculate. How would I know? LOL.
