is it normal to get black spots when you done with a LM workout maybe I went to hard ?
That's completely normal as when you use much intensity Sometimes the blood comes to the top and looks like little black spots. Back off the intensity a little bit until you're not seeing this anymore.
Hey guys,
I have been struggling with foreskin swelling (edema is what I think it is) I would like to ask for some help please.
My routine is:
1. I will hang weights for about 4-5 hours a day, sometimes more, usually around 6 pounds using the silistretcher with the foreskin cover piece on as well.
2. I will occasionally (normally when the foreskin is so bad I cannot get the cover over it or think it needs a rest) use the lengthmaster 3 for 20 minutes or so.
3. Depending how bad the skin is stretched, I might use infrared light to try and repair a few times a week.
I only hang for about 3 or 4 days a week because the foreskin swelling gets so bad that it really needs a break. So I usually give it a break for 3 days, then try again for another 4 days.
I feel that this is inhibiting gains as I cannot get enough pressure on it regularly enough - 3 days a week is not enough to see results - I have not been able to increase the weight constantly enough.
So I wonder if there is another way I should be doing it or if this is normal? Perhaps there is a better way to wrap the head so that it does not get edema as bad on it.
Has anyone else had this issue? found any workarounds?
Thank you for your help.

Let's break things down first. Although, the layout needs to be organized different on your approach.
First of all, how did you strap on for hanging? Foreskin over the glans? Foreskin retracted completely back? This will play a massive roll in creating comforts and reduce overall edema.
If you're at home, it's easy to hang and forget things. Depending on how you strap for the hanging, make sure to unstrap your penis fully every 20 minutes or so, and massage your penis using the C-jelq from the base to the glans and back to the base. This pulls the fluid from the penis back into the body. If you hang without doing a bit of jelqing to remove the build up fluid, you'll get a nice present of edema after your routine. Again, it's about the wrapping as well. Proper wrapping reduces the chances of edema in the foreskin, and how you wrap for your foreskin will tell us how to approach things.
How did you wrap the for the LM (just like the first question)?
Yes. There are many ways to work around it. It's all depends on whether or not your foreskin can be retracted back to show your coronal ridge fully (your glans's rim). If your foreskin is still stuck around the glans's coronal ridge, that needs to be retracted. Otherwise, you're simply stretching your foreskin and not your penis. That's why the edema forms. The fluid is being pushed into the foreskin near your penile terminus (the foreskin near the end of your penis that covers the glans).
So, just a few questions needed answer.
Thanks heaps for the reply @oldandlively it is very helpful and what you are saying makes perfect sense.
The foreskin was not retracted, so it sounds like you are right.
It has been a long time since I have revised the videos and from looking at them again now (nice work on the updated video section) I am definitely doing it wrong.
My instincts were to the effect that the foreskin is there to protect, so it would act as a "protective layer of sorts", but instead, I am getting a more of a pull on the skin, and not the shaft as required. So the art here seems to be getting the required grip to create a pull on the shaft, not the skin.
Hopefully, now retrying, I will be able to get it better.
I think due to the fact that I was still getting a pull on the shaft before with the wrapping on the foreskin over the glans and ridge, (but not as much as it would be if set up right), I still thought it was ok. But all the pull should be on the shaft. I will try again many times over the next few weeks and see how I go. I will try and notice and look out for indicators that the pull is occurring in the right area/on the right part - the shaft, and not jsut pulling the skin down.
I have not really done it before with the foreskin pulled back before so will see how I go. Initially I thought that it would be harder due to the glans and ridge being more susceptible to pain - so keeping the foreskin over was just my "instinct" I guess - another wrapping.
I am guessing that everyone who has tried this way - with the foreskin NOT pulled back has encountered this issue and has had to pull it back to work?
Interested to hear what people have experienced.
Many thanks for your help @oldandlively , will let you know how I go.

Foreskin, by natural design, is to protect the sensitive nerve endings that are responsible for sensation to trigger ejaculation and ejection of waste. The foreskin is not meant to protect the penis from any weight, traction load, or external trauma force that harms the glans besides harmful fluids and chemicals invasion directly impact the thin skin layers of the glans.
Unfortunately, in PE, we have to use the glans, or the coronal ridge, as a terminal point that provides traction holds for our hands and tools. There's no way around it. The foreskin, if the penis is not circumcised, acts like a lubrication layer between the hand and tools. The looser the foreskin, the harder it is for the traction method to be used. Of course, there are ways around it as well.
So, where you are right now, you have two options, based on your response so far:
- If you want to use your foreskin to cover your glans, you can still do it. However, a small bulk wrap using flexible tape or materials like TheraBand is required to be wrapped just below the coronal ridge. You can pull the foreskin back and cover the bulk, then wrap just right below the bulk that sits under the foreskin. The wrap will hold better right below that bulky wrap. However, the foreskin will still play a factor in sliding right over the bulk, based on how much foreskin you have.
- The best method is to fully retract the foreskin completely back as you wrap. When you wrap, make sure to constantly pull the foreskin back, clearing any leftover foreskin that may still be in the wrap, causing a fold, a kink, or a pinch during the wrap. When you put the LM plates on and there are folds inside the wrap, it can be quite uncomfortable.
- Fully deflate your penis by squeezing the blood completely out of the glans during the wrapping. This allows you to go up to 10 minutes of pure comfort at a higher weight or traction load. The higher the weight or traction load you put on the penis, if there's any blood or fluid in the glans, the internal pressure will skyrocket past +10inHg. If your penis is not conditioned, it can cause regular blisters or blood blisters. Why 10 minutes? You need your cells to have oxygen, just like you need air to stay alive. 5 minutes is excellent, but 10 minutes is a cap limit. For me, I can go past 40lbs without any formation of blisters or slippage issues.
- If you want extremely good glans traction, wrap the base of the glans up with a slight bulk with the foreskin full retracted, wrap up to 3in of cover spaces below the glans's base, bulk that up to create comfort before putting the penis inside the plates, but add just a bit of blood through kegel/erection to inflate the glans up just a bit. Now, your glans is like a powerful mushroom end to hold onto the wrap. HOWEVER, you cannot pull too hard or you will get bloody blisters. Depending on how much conditioning you've done already, but limit from pulling too hard past 5lbs. Ne, I can pull at 10lbs with this method of wrapping. Any more, I get a bloody blister.
Thank you @oldandlively , some great and detailed help there from a pro!
My foreskin is now very swollen and sore, so once is settles - which should be by next week, I will try out the methods you have shared.
I am quite sure I understand the processes and methods you describe - it mainly has to do with getting the bulk of the foreskin back behind the glans and not letting it slip forward. I will use the photos and videos for reference in the video section as well.
I have not played before with how much blood is in or not in the glans, that will be the next step.
40 pounds is unreal! I hope I can do that much one day! Cheers.

In the meanwhile you can use a towel or a rice sock to create a very warm compress to stimulate blood flow. Apply enough heat to get the blood in, the tissues relaxed, and get an erection going. Use aloe vera gel (fleshy pulp of the medical aloe if you can), or coconut, olive, or even Vit E liquid oil if you can and use it as lubricant and healing carrier oil while doing reverse jelq. Reverse jelq is when you hold the base of the glans with one hand, pull the foreskin completely back, and use the other hands in an C or U shape, with fingers point downward from the top of the penis. Create a tension between the two sides of the penis, a little pressure at the top of the penis by pushing the web of your hands into the top of the skin, and glide from the base of the glans to the base of the penis. This will migrate the fluid from the foreskin down and out of the penis through the lymphatic drainage nodes faster. This will reduce the wait time to just a day or two.
PE journey is about learning to create your own adaptive methods by using others. You'll soon discover new methods you find for yourself based on others' methods and improve the old methods even more.
40 pounds is pure chaos. Don't go there. Only crazy ones like @DLD and @9.5inchpro should go. I was merely testing how much I can increment for comfort purposes. I max out at 20lbs for just a minute, and back off to 15lbs, then 10lbs, and back to 5lbs. I kept mine in the extender at 2.5 to 2.8lbs max for hours on end. So, don't tempt yourself going past 10lbs any time soon. Maybe two years from now.
Thanks for the tip in point 1 @oldandlively I will see how it heals up and take your advice. I would do it today, but I have to go back to work tomorrow morning and need some rest.
"PE journey is about learning to create..."
For sure, everyone has to be a little different. I think a large part of it must be about being able to get a reliable grip that will last and you can depend upon, once you have that, it feels like it should just be progressive overload in terms of weight and sessions. Girth another matter though..
"40 pounds is pure chaos...."
I feel like the emphasis should be more about a marathon than a sprint to begin with. Longer time with less weight as opposed to less time with more weight- should condition or pre-condition it somewhat, and reduce the chance of injury.

Hi @oldandlively,
I had another go today this time trying to bring the foreskin back, but no luck.
For me, exposing the glans and trying to wrap the foreskin back is honestly, quite painful, and very uncomfortable. I guess this likely comes from not being circumsized and therefore only bring the glans out during cleaning and for sex. I would like to think that is is something that I could adapt to over a while, but honestly, it is way to painful and feels far worse than how I was doing it before.
If I can get around the fluid build up on the foreskin, than I can see it working, cause I can feel the "pull" and becoming able to hold more weight. I just cannot do it with purple blown ice cold foreskin. I honestly think the foreskin might drop off or I will get damaged if I keep at it without allowing it to settle.
So I really need to find a way to get around the fluid build up on the foreskin, so it needs to be like a 2 way flow (from what I have read) so the fluid can go back up easily enough. I was wearing a glans protector as well and that might likely be cutting of the 1 way flow, so I will try without that soon when the fluid build up settles again. (pic attached of me using glans protector.) I know many places say to do it this way, but if it is cutting of the flow, than it won't work properly (as I have found out).
Also just wandering for the video; https://mattersofsize.com/media/20250506_ssinstructionbythedudefather-mp4.1526/
he looks like he has another tube on his shaft before he puts it into the tube and connects the tube around the cup.
Does he have a tube around the shaft? is that for a better grip? would this help the pressure to stay consistent and make a 2 way flow of fluid so it can return?
I will see how I can go about getting the flow of fluid 2 way.

I see what's going on here based on the photos presented. Before going on, when your glans is not used to being "free" from the cover of the foreskin, yes, it can be irritating at first.
But, check these videos and instruction out for uncircumcised guys like me, and give a test run.
https://mattersofsize.com/media/albums/various-members-instructions.373/
Do not use the glans cap. That cap will cause the pressure to pull on the foreskin faster into the vacuum cup and allows the sleeves to slip from the foreskin.
We'll work with you on the wrapping methods. I see the issues, and we'll work around it very easily. You actually reminded me a few brothers in the past with the same issues. Time to change the methods of approach. I'll work with you.
That's funny how you point out the brother I helped in the past. He made the video according to his needs based on our evaluation of method for his wrapping technique.
As long as you can wrap the foreskin nice and cleanly below the glans, you will not suffer the fluid build up. Again, the yellow, green, or odd wrapping material is soft rubber strip used as both traction and for light compression on the sensitive portion of the foreskin responsible for fluid buildup.
Wrapping is an art form and it takes a while to get to the perfect wrap. Now, this is very important. Be sure that when you wrap you are making sure there are no wrinkles or folds in the wrap. if if there there arel wrinkles and folds you're going to end up with blisters and blood spots all over the place.

Lancing experience.
I finally had my first blister experience. Was about half inch in size. I remembered reading this first thread post, came back read it again.
It helped me a lot, to not panic. I didn’t want the constant tenderness/pain, and I always lance blister on my heals if I get them. I followed your advice, was careful and lanced it immediately. I drained it a second time about an hour later. I also put a small bandaid on it to keep it from filling back up.
My results are turning out pretty good. 99% of the blistering skin absorbed back to the skin and did not dry out. Only a tiny red dot is there now.
Haven’t done any stretching for a few days other than wrapping it in a flaccid state.
Thanks for the advice.

Make sure to allow the skin to heal well, and SLOWLY work back up in pressure. New skin take a bit of time to thicken, commonly around 1 to 3 weeks. During this time, perform SSJ while minimizing blood volume pressure from entering into the glans. The OK grip at the base of the glans will help to prevent the young skin from being over stretched.
I'm happy that you did not injure yourself in this respect but penis skin is much different than your feet.It's a very, very delicate thing and very easy to scar. So be careful with what you're doing.There's never a rush to make a blister, go away.You're not gonna waste time. But you will be safe

Follow up question. All healed up, started pumping last night, low pressure and short 2 on 2 off for three rounds.
Noticed the area that had the blister had some purple discoloration while pumping. Nothing painful, or lumps. Went back to normal after light Jelqing and blood flow.
It doesn’t show when erect.
Normal? Will go away? Stop pumping for a bit more? Gonna live with it from now on?
Thanks all.

Thanks all.
When the skin is still young and tender for the injured area, the purple is an indicator where the capillaries pump blood into the young skin, and the young skin uses up the oxygen too quickly for the cell healing processes. Light jelqing does just that, cycling in new blood to satisfy the cells' oxygen need and pull out the old depositing blood.
New blood cycles in, old blood cycles out. New oxygenates blood will reduce or eliminate the purple color.
Very normal. It goes away when the young skin becomes stronger, thicker, and older, where the cells don't need to pull much more oxygen for healing processes than before the injury.
But if you see purple start to form anywhere that is not injured, find a different approach to prevent purple color accumulation. Old blood can burst inside, or cell death, causing the iron content to come out, staining your skin layers, and create undesirable darker skin, or discoloration of the fascias. If you are not worrying about darker skin, then the discussion should focus on not letting the color goes too dark into the purple range during pumping. Pumping shouldn't be more than 10 minutes in an exercise. This is to prevent fluid entering into the upper layers of the skins, causing unwanted edema.
