Guitarist,
Great questions.
>Ive never been very good at estimating my LOT. I seem to get some level of tugback right down to 6 oclock although it starts getting weaker around 8.<
That is not unusual. What you are looking for is the area of angle where the ligs begin to take the stress away from the inner tunica. Kegaling the PC pulls the inner tunica back. This produces the tugback that you see at the upper angles. As you move the angle of stretch down, at some point, you engage the ligs, which begins to reduce the amount of tugback you see. For some range, the kegal is still able to get past the ligs, and show a tugback. But you will still be able to see how much the ligs affect the stretch, and about where they come into play.
>Sorry, I dont really understand the pubic bone measurement. Is there a thread that you can point me to that maybe has a diagram?<
I think I did one on Thunders that kind of showed what I mean. But it is not too tough really. Where your legs come together, and between your legs, begin palpating the bottom of your pelvic region. Feel around possibly below your balls, or within the scrotum. You should feel a hard bone, the pubic bone. Find the bottom of this bone, where the penis shaft comes from within the body, under the pubic bone, and then continues on and exits the skin. Put your left forefinger on this spot, where the shaft come under the pubic bone. Then, put your left thumb where the shaft exits the skin. The distance between the forefinger and thumb shows a good bit of how much shaft can be pulled out by lig stretch. It is the susp and fund ligs which are holding the shaft UP in this position. Of course, you will also have more inner shaft, within the body, on the inner side of the pubic bone, that may be pulled out by upper angle work.
Or, another method: Follow the penis shaft DOWN into the body, palpating, feeling slightly back and forth. At some point, you will come to the pubic bone. You should easily be able to feel point at where the shaft comes under the pubic bone.
Is that any better?
>One thing that has always puzzled me is that why when someone has no potential for lig gains is it recommended that they hang at higher angles. Surely tunica gains can still be achieved by
hanging BTC or SD as this is still pulling on the shaft.<
I am glad you asked this, because many guys seem to have trouble with it.
Following is considering a guy with a low LOT, and little potential for gains from lig stretch, pulling out and down the inner tunica:
OUTER tunica stress and gains can still be acheived by
hanging at the lower angles. However, you may not be able to stress the inner tunica. The ligs will be there no matter how long or short, loose or tight. Unless you completely stretched them, or cut them completely, they will take SOME MEASURE of the stress away from the inner tunica when
hanging at the lower angles. Cannot get away from it. Therefore, you are only stressing a percentage of the tunica, being less efficient. So, why not raise the angle of hang, and stress the entire tunica, inner and outer?
As the inner tunica is stressed, stretched/grown, comes out further, the ligs will become somewhat tighter and pull the outer shaft up. As this process continues, it generates potential for more lig gains. It is a slow see-saw effect. A month or two (or longer) out and up, followed by a month or two (or longer) down and out. Just go by your LOT. Does that make any sense?
This gets back to my point about having a plan of attack, knowing the anatomy, and being efficient in your work.
>Wouldnt continuing to hang
BTC achieve both tunica gains and any remaining lig gains.<
It would acheive OUTER tunica gains, and would allow any remaining lig gains. But the returns would be constantly diminishing. Until you affect, and pull out more inner tunica, you will not generate any more potential for lig gains.
Hanging at the lower angles will not pull out any more inner tunica. As stated above, you will only be working, stressing a percentage of the tunica. Very inefficient.
Really good stuff.
>Ive taken a few days off to reassess and recuperate and those hard erections are back again.<
That is great!
