when i have an erection its extremely hard like a brick. but if i put a clamp on and tighten it down decently tight then it blows up probably over a 1/4 of an inch. why is that? is it normal? if i had the girth that i get after having a clamp on for 10 seconds, then i would be approximately 6 1/4. without a clamp it doesnt really even give when you squeeze on it. but after the expansion from having 10 seconds in the clamp it is somewhat flexible. but as soon as i take it off it goes back to a thinner brick again<
i see that alot of ��������� always have that "look", kinda like a bloated snake i guess lol.
When you're hard, your veno occlusive system has kicked in, effectively trapping the blood inside the cavernosa chambers. When an external force is applied, the veins are further constricted and the added pressure causes much fluid to 'leak' out of the veins (because the induced venous pressure much exceeds the hydrostatic pressure, which in turn will also exceed the osmotic pressure).
This fluid, will start to collect between the skin and the tunica, and since the volume of the blood inside the veins has decreased, the CC chambers will become slightly more flexible. After a while, this fluid will act as a positive pressure back onto the Tunica, collapsing it down, and causing engorgement to decrease.
This is a dangerous pitfall as it causes the illusions of 'gains', when in fact the internal pressure inside the CC chambers has decreased and hence the collagen fibers which run circumferentially around the Tunica (the maximum extent of which yields our 'dry girth' measurements) are no longer stretched.
This means that though you 'feel' an internal stretch, it is decaying exponentially with time as you apply the clamp.
Right as soon as you apply the clamp the pressure inside the chambers will increase and JUMP through the roof (much like an impulse), but will only peek for a moment, and will then exponentially decrease as the fluid seeps out of the veins, builds up between the skin and the Tunica, and causes the Tunica to collapse.
Some self acclaimed Penis Enlargement gurus on these boards with no understanding of the penile anatomy, and the complex systems inherent in the penis are advocating vaso-constrictors, pumps, and any intense exercise that cause fluid 'Faux Girth Expansion' to be a foreshadow of future girth to come.
I would like to point out, the the only thing that this interstitial fluid, lymphatic fluid build up, as well as the minerals that will leak out of the veins due to the pressure (such as iron, and possibly calcium and etc.) will only cause fibrotic tissue formation, which is mainly made of Type I collagen and Fibrin, which make gains come to a dead halt. Not to mention the ugly dark discolorations that the leaked iron causes. (most people on these boards thought I was black since my penis was so damn dark. I'm now almost fully rid of the discoloration)
You will need at least several months of deconditioning to undo these formations.
Anyways, My appologies for my absence. I have been quite active in Penis Enlargement and have had quite a bit of gains, but am waiting for the right moment to announce them.
hope this reply helped
Best of luck
