"No, they are tough collagenous fibers."
Damn.
"Really strange. There is no single structure that goes from the head to the pubic bone. The shaft goes under the pubic bone, almost to the anus. The ligs attach to the shaft/tunica toward the base, and then attach to the pubic bone."
That is strange. I've read others describe this, so I know I'm not imagining it or unique. It feels to me like it is attached to the bone, so maybe I have an unusual lig biology? I can't remember if it's always been like this, or maybe over time it developed. I once saw a site where they described "plaque" in the tunica albuginea, causing Peyrones, with the curve upward. Although I have always had a decent upwards curve, it's nothing excessive or severe by any stretch of the imagination.
"It may take much more than five lbs of stress though. Also, heat during the first half of your session will help. Then, no heat for the last half of your session to allow the tissues to cool in the extended state."
I'm only using 5 pounds to get used to hanging; only been at it for two weeks now. Once I feel like I am used to 5 and not getting sore, I'll move up to 10. When I do, I want to experiement with the shorter 20-30 minute once a day routine. My dick is very toughened from over 10 years of Penis Enlargement; manual stretching, jelqing, clamping, etc,...so I think the heavy but shorter routine may work better than a longer, lighter routine. I do heat for about 15 minutes prior and it gets very warm, then let it cool as I hang.
With the soreness I am experiencing, I think I might see some quick results. I haven't been this sore in a long, long time. I am pretty damn sore right in the base area on both sides and in the area you have described when hitting the ligs.
Damn.
