Wrapping and turtling

[JakeThePeg]

Hey all,

First time posting on MoS - but first PEing about 15 yrs ago on and off with small gains. Now it’s time to take it seriously (finally have the opportunity) and am starting with the initial manual version of SRT. I’m probably not able to train with equipment (including a BathMate I already have) for a few months still though.

I’ve started wrapping, but some meds I’m on cause really severe turtling when they kick in that can last a few hours or all day (also making it difficult to tell if the body is pushing back on training). When this happens the glans will either succeed in shrinking back into the wrap, or rub on the wrap as it tries to, causing irritation and pain (especially when sitting down).

Has anyone come up against this before and found something that works? Main objective seems to be keeping the glans from rubbing on the wrap…

Thanks!

You’re telling me I need to put theraband on the whole shaft when wrapping??

No. Only at the locations where you need traction. ONLY and ONLY if you need to wrap the entire penile shaft for comfort, such as to prevent chaffing because of the other wrapping tape or materials, then use the entire penile shaft length. Otherwise, only at the locations where you need to create traction.

I saw the wrapping video and it only shows folding it a few times at an inch width and putting it just behind the head and then use an ace wrap on the rest of the shaft!! I’m pretty sure you told me this. My technique is pretty good, there’s still good blood flow but there is a slight draw back…..it’s not full traction though but I can pee good and never gets uncomfortable. Am I losing gains by not having absolute full traction though???

This is the preferred method. Everyone has his own approach. This is my approach.

Can you explain the step by step healing process? I understand hurtling but I just want to know exactly what is happening during healing. Sometimes it’s hard flaccid and turtles. Healing is critical in gains and I wat to gauge when I can exercise again and how long I should wait. Thanks

For me, the healing process has always been massage with a light oil and then I would wrap for the rest of the day. But as I was wrapping, every time I took a break, I would make sure it's tighter, hang not loose. I would usually go for 2 hours and then take a break, then I would go for another session of two hours and then I would take a break and so on and so forth.

You must have to take it off to pee?

Full traction is best for gains, rather than a comfortable wrap with maybe 80-90% traction with good blood flow and easy urination? When I go full traction, the wrap is too tight and I don’t have good blood flow! But I have worn a sleeve, but that’s kind of difficult to have in my line of work.

No. If pee gets onto the wrapping and make a mess, or you cause your pee stream to spray everywhere, then sure. Wrap it loosely enough but still keep the penis elongated, then no.
