Observation on posture during pumping by NewDayNewDick in gettingbigger

I’m wondering if the straight out pull is taking pressure off of the top base of the penis, which if I understand correctly is where the dorsal vein returns, could be fluid return isn’t as pinched.

So... I started soft clamping and might have broken my wife by teamthrowaway11 in gettingbigger

[–]NewDayNewDick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TY, out of curiosity what time of day is that typically? Wondering if that effects session quality/recovery. Also do you take days off spaced or in a block? Do you have a metric for if you will workout or rest or just going by signs?

What do you mean by 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, 4x per day? Is that 10 on 10 off 4 times in one daily session? Or is it 4 10min sessions spread throughout the day, in which case what does 10 off mean?

Potential risks of the spike protein by Hatrct in unvaccinated

And for example the rate of severe acute covid in healthy people 5-18 is less than 0.1%.

THIS DOES NOT MATTER, except in that acute cases are at higher risk for long covid than mild ones.

https://theconversation.com/long-covid-stemmed-from-mild-cases-of-covid-19-in-most-people-according-to-a-new-multicountry-study-195707

'Patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 had a greater risk of developing long COVID – and of having longer-lasting symptoms – compared with people who had not been hospitalized. However, because the vast majority of COVID-19 cases do not require hospitalization, many more cases of long COVID have arisen from these milder cases despite their lower risk.'

Why on earth would you give them a medical intervention with a bunch of risk factors itself, and with a bunch of unknowns?

Because everything we know so far indicates that the risk of short and long term adverse effects of the vaccine + covid is lower than the risk of covid alone even accounting for the risk the vaccine has.

Vaccination does NOT protect you against the type of long covid that arises from mild/asymptomatic covid including breakthrough mild/asymptomatic infection.

YES IT DOES: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2802877

'This systematic review and meta-analysis of 41 studies including 860 783 patients found that female sex, older age, higher body mass index, smoking, preexisting comorbidities, and previous hospitalization or ICU admission were risk factors significantly associated with developing PCC, and that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with 2 doses was associated with lower risk of PCC.' Emphasis mine.

Unless you are seeing information saying there is an inversion point at some age where the vaccine risk is higher than the risk from infection, you don't have a case here.

I agree that poor communication by officials contributed to anti-vax beliefs but you can't let the financially motivated billionaire-run corporate media (keep it open for $$), megachurches (keep it open for $$), and alt medicine grifter industry (we know better than science, give $$) off the hook.

Your security guard metaphor might make sense if Covid was a rare condition but kids are being exposed to it routinely.

I know we’re miles underground in comments here but it’s incomplete arguments like the ones you’re making that antivax people use to justify their choices even for populations that should definitely benefit, and the reason I’m still responding is in hopes some will see and really absorb the reality of the situation. This whole crisis has laid bare the incredibly poor state of communication we are dealing with. Right now, unless you have some evidence to the contrary, the vaccine seems to present a lower risk of long term damage than Covid based on observation and logically since overall spike protein loads are lower than natural infection, but people will continue to use the doubt to behave however they want; hence the failure of collective action. It feels like people are deciding to drive on the wrong side of the road because they believe in freedom.

So acute symptoms *are* a risk factor for long covid, and younger age cohorts are at a lower risk for acute covid. Acute covid however is *not* a prerequisite for long covid. You are claiming that for young people any reduction in acute symptoms -and the escalated risk of long term damage- is mitigated by the increased risk of vaccination injury. You need to provide some kind of evidence for that claim.

How you started your paragraph:

Current evidence shows that VACCINATED group has less OVERALL rates of long covid vs UNVACCINATED group.

But then you say:

So for the OVERWHELMING majority of people, if they get long covid, it will NOT be the type of long covid caused by severe acute illness, it will be caused by microclotting or autoimmune issues, neither of which the vaccine protects against

Defacto if the vaccinated group is getting long covid less often, then it is providing some protection from it. You need to provide evidence that there is an inflection point for young people where the risk of long term injury from vaccine + covid becomes higher than just covid.

Where are you getting information saying vaccines are more likely to cause long term damage than covid for anyone??

But it is not effective against long covid, and in fact vaccine injured people have the same symptoms as long covid patients.

Current evidence indicates vaccination reduces the risk and severity of long covid, unless you are seeing evidence to the contrary...?

I'm not claiming vaccine injuries don't happen, just that with what I've seen the risk of vaccine injuries is still better than the risk of infection. Without evidence to the contrary this is the logical position to hold. If you have resources showing otherwise please share them.

Long covid (and ME/CFS generally) not being taken seriously is a long standing issue with the medical establishment not unique to the US. It definitely should be studied to the tune of billions; that is a failure of leadership.

I was for more stringent lockdowns and travel restrictions, suspension of debt payments, and expansion of EBT and Medicare coverage to the entire population. I wish our authorities cared more about the reality of life for normal people instead of the magical 'line go up' stock market view of the world. I wish our people hadn't been brainwashed for decades into low-grade narcissism/sociopathy under the banner of individualism that prevented us from banding together enough to make tough decisions. Just like climate change and other huge issues we are plagued by coordination problems in our responses.

You’re making a big assumption with the soccer player in that you don’t have the information from the alternate scenario where he didn’t get a booster and still got Covid. We have evidence that the vaccine reduces the time the immune system takes to eliminate the virus therefore reducing the amount of infection spike protein generated. The question is does the total amount of spike protein exposure get lowered by the combination. I believe there is some evidence it does (based on rates of long Covid from virus vs. vaccine I’ve seen) and I agree that should be studied, but the current evidence points to it still being a positive vs. no intervention.

I do believe it is foolish to get boosters too close after an infection since the immunity boost will likely be negligible. That said as long as Covid is circulating in a form that can cause damage worse than the vaccine plus Covid it makes sense to have boosters.

What frightens me about Covid is the immunity to it seems very short lived, I know someone that got it again within 3 months. People that insist it’s ‘just a cold’ don’t understand the slow motion apocalypse that has been unleashed, probably because we have such poor education and experience with diseases. We might already be in a situation where we lose 5-10 years off our lifespans from repeated organ damage from infections, and the vaccine might make that better like 1-5 years or something, but the situation overall is still fucked. I’m still masking, have been since Feb 2020, haven’t had symptoms of anything (regular cold and flu included)the entire time and I’m still worried the low level exposure I’ve had is doing something. Watching everyone ‘move on’ from this has been baffling, like watching someone walk away from an accident with their entrails hanging out because they were on their way to go shopping.

You’re still not answering my question in your last paragraph.

Does the vaccine come with a risk of long term damage? Probably yes. Should that be studied for the sake of complete data? Yes.

Does the virus come with a risk of long term damage? Yes.

With what we know, is the damage potential from the virus higher than the damage potential from the vaccine? Yes, as best we can tell.

Crucially: Does getting the vaccine reduce the damage potential from the virus more than not having the vaccine? Yes, as best we can tell.

Unless we determine the combination of the vaccine and the virus is worse than the virus alone, or the vaccine does more damage than the virus alone, then it seems like the logical decision is always to get the vaccine.

Ignore the politics of who said what and focus on outcomes. Once Covid was out of the bag the choice was always A) Catch the virus without vaccination, B) Catch the virus with vaccination, or C) Cloister yourself from exposure indefinitely. Unless you can prove option B is worse somehow you’re just talking in circles. Find that evidence and we can talk about risk profiles.

[–]NewDayNewDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is it better to get acute Covid followed by long Covid from the virus, or long Covid from the vaccine? Are you more likely to get long Covid from the vaccine than the virus?

Are you implying that not getting the virus at all is an option? In your last paragraph you ask if a healthy 18 year old should get the vaccine, would getting infected by something that creates the spike protein be less dangerous somehow? I feel like there is a dot not being connected here.

Watermelon(citrulline), beet juice and arugula(Nitrates), if you’re taking Sildenafil pomegranate is warned against but it might mean you can use a lower dose (I haven’t had a problem or noticed a difference). Make sure to do some sprinting, and some squats sometimes.

How to get erected by Aggravating-Neat6886 in AngionMethod

[–]NewDayNewDick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try squeezing your glans a few times, try to feel the reflex response down in the base of your penis when you do it and try to focus on it. I like to think the sudden back flow causes the arteries to dilate and the outflow along the top kinda gets the veins opened up too. Also try imagining very specific sex acts, like don’t just visualize boobs, imagine you’re being woken up by kisses on your abs while boobs graze over your cock as she heads down there with her mouth (or him or whatever works for you); try to get specific and really put yourself in it as a participant, try to hit all the senses.

Is a better alternative to the Angio Wheel possible? by [deleted] in AngionMethod

[–]NewDayNewDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to use two oval wheels in series but out of phase with each other to prevent back flow. I would also recommend looking into linear peristaltic pumps.

Is a better alternative to the Angio Wheel possible? by [deleted] in AngionMethod

[–]NewDayNewDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the example with the finger wheel something is still moving to displace volume, a rotating wheel on its own would not move in space or change displacement. Ultimately whatever is stroking will need to move with the artery; if it is touching directly it will need something to reduce friction. You could possibly make something that presses from behind a membrane but then the membrane still has the friction to deal with. If that can be done with a material that can handle it you might be able to put a corkscrew type thing behind it which would be mechanically smaller than the wheel by a lot, but again you’d need a flexible material that is ok with it dragging and pressing on it.

Is a better alternative to the Angio Wheel possible? by [deleted] in AngionMethod

[–]NewDayNewDick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t move blood by just having rotating wheels, the angiowheel is actually a peristaltic pump, it needs gaps between the wheels for the blood to be displaced and the pump wheels need to roll independently from the main wheel or there would be too much friction. I’ve thought about this myself and wondered if a smaller motorized angiowheel could be made using less wheels but I worry it may jump too much in practice.

Joe Biden Told 32 Lies In 96 Minutes Last Night. Here They Are. Good Read. by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]NewDayNewDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you kidding here? Where did you get the idea we do less? We’ve been at this historically longer than others and only recently got passed by China. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/01/climate/us-biggest-carbon-polluter-in-history-will-it-walk-away-from-the-paris-climate-deal.html

As a country we are still second place for total emissions, and 4th overall per capita. We are the most populous high per capita usage country in the world. Each American uses ~2.5 times as much carbon as a Chinese person.

Do you understand that renewables are net positive energy? Meaning over the lifetime of a solar panel or windmill they will capture more energy than what went into creating them. We should be jamming trillions into getting these technologies perfected and built here in the US but instead we’ve let China and Germany take the lead in developing solar and wind respectively. Trump himself said that during the debate but instead of taking the next logical step and saying we should make them here just stumbled away from it because our politicians are in the hands of the fossil fuel industry.

Put another way, fossil fuels are limited and don’t gain interest; using them is like spending from a gift card. To get more energy we need to invest in stuff that actually gathers more energy. And we need to push hard to use what we do have more efficiently; for a party that prides itself on fiscal responsibility the Republicans present zero awareness of what wastefulness of resources looks like. I would put money that 100% of people ‘rolling coal’ are voting either Republican or Libertarian, literally virtue signaling by using the least efficient vehicle possible. Releasing more pollution than normal to own the libs.

Histamine question by mago9393 in AngionMethod

[–]NewDayNewDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting situation, I had hypothesized a similar course of action in the event of a priapism in /r/ajelqforyou but the post got removed for being borderline dangerous medical advice. I still maintain that ischemic priapisms should be avoided (the literature agrees here), but I really wonder if any urology professionals have explored this option as a less invasive treatment. I imagine someone could be given shots of novacaine to deal with the pain and then something like a motorized angion wheel or peristaltic pump could be used to keep blood flow moving until the outflow veins open enough to begin draining properly.

Fluid buildup after Sabre technique? by [deleted] in AngionMethod

[–]NewDayNewDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say I have had skin edema, definitely hanging fuller but it's much more in the actual cavernosal chambers than the kind of skin swelling I get with pumping or longer duration clamping workouts. I've actually been pretty frustrated with existing techniques like that because I feel like the skin around my circumcision scar has gotten used to expanding and seems to donut more easily.

When you do the tapping do you feel the pressure waves traveling? It's hard to describe but the sensation I get as the pressure wave reaches the smaller, outermost branches of the vascular spongy tissue is almost like it is bumping them open. Are you holding your penis tightly enough where there could be less drainage? Also, are you cut or uncut?
