I'm thinking of quitting hanging out of paranoia. I've been weighing the risks vs the possible benefits in my head and it's basically like this: I'm really pretty content with what I have vs. the risk of permanently damaging my one and only penis. Even if I'd do every single thing correctly, there is still a risk, however minimal it may be. And it's not like injuring your bicep with too heavy weights in the gym and having to rest it for a week or a month (it could be like that if lucky), but it's your darn penis! Sure I would be really happy if I after 6 months of hanging gained say 1/2 inch, but how sad would I be if something happened that couldn't be healed? It would almost be a life ender. Just thinking about it makes me sad. I'm a bit above average in length and girth, it would be great to be huge, but I'm so thankful for what I have. Still, it's tempting to reach for more obviously. Anyone else with similar thoughts?

If you're still considering sticking with manual PE, you have the potential to make gains. It's up to you. You don't have to do PE at all, and you sound at least content with your current size.I am no longer an active member on the PEGym.

I'd quit in your shoes. I really do not believe you have the right mindset, or really the drive for it. I'm not being "mean", just realistic and down to earth with you. There's nothing wrong with being cautious, but you are right, you are paranoid. I understand your concerns, though. From our conversations both public and private. That is my assessment. Good on you for realizing hanging is not for you. There are indeed some men who just cannot handle hanging something from their penis. Maybe a stretching routine is more up your alley?Last edited by malehanger; 04-30-2012, 03:06 PM.

It's not really lack of drive, it's paranoia if you will and assessing risks. Simply put it's this: What the beep would I do if something happened?! However minimal the risks. Everything would be over. I'd be "done". I think everyone should be super careful when it comes to PE, and even consider if it's really (really!) worth it all. Also, it's not like I'm just making up nightmare scenarios here, as you know there are people on this very forum who have had pretty horrible injuries from hanging for example. It really can happen. Maybe I'd take the risks if I were way bellow average or something, I can't know that, but for now I think I'm through hanging.

I too feel that weight hanging is actually safer and much more controlled. How hard exatly are you pulling with your hands when doing a full blown all out tunica tug for 15 seconds, exactly the same as the last time you did them, no one knows. Same as with an A-Stretch, they are both great stretching exercises but there is definately an I dont know factor.
The only things I have seen caused by hanging have been rectified with a few simple adjustments to either the hanger, the placement of it or the wrap. A few guys who let it ride too close to the glans but they actuall felt it and knew it and usually end up stating that they thought they could be alright and bear through one set. Those guys only do that one time and then again, problem is rectified.
At the end of the day though if ones gut tells them something i am usually the first one to say follow your gut, sometimes really believing that something can cause injury will sometimes make it so.Going an inch and 1/2 deeper than before

That being said, if you are satisfied with your current size there is no reason to continue trying to gain. When I reach my goals I'll stop as well and just do a very light routine for penile health.

RickRory,
It is smart that you continuously weigh the benefits against the risks. This is a personal evaluation that no one else can do for you.
I quit back in 2006 to "take stock". I was not gaining quickly enough to justify the effort and I had started to perform some risky experiments to try to jump start gains.
I returned to hanging 5 years later because I learned of a few things that may have caused my gains to stall.
Since I now feel little to no pressure to gain, I am less likely to perform high risk experiments.
I now approach hanging/clamping as a healthy curiosity. I am retired now so I have time to relax and do a fair amount of PE which I enjoy.
If you decide to stop, don't forget to cement your gains.
PEWarrior2011starting 1/1/2003 BPEL 5.75 .... EG 5.25
plateau 1/26/2006 BPEL 7.00... EG 5.75 gain BPEL +1.25 ... EG +0.5
restart 9/1/2011 BPEL 6.75 ..... EG 5.5
current 5/7/2012 BPEL 7.125 .. EG 5.875 gain BPEL +0.375 ... EG +0.3
routine - daily fulcrum hanging/BTB clamping
goal - keep gaining

Manual exercises, if done incorrectly, also pose a risk to your penis...all PE is potentially dangerous
Follow the steps, take your time, be sensible and i'm sure you will be fine
