Controversial “manosphere” influencer Clavicular has shared his top tip for growing his manhood, which he claims can be done conveniently while driving.
The influencer, whose real name is Braden Peters, was interviewed by Howie Mandel for an upcoming episode of Mandel’s podcast, “Howie Mandel Does Stuff.”
During the interview, Clavicular, known for promoting looksmaxxing, was asked what he does to his p£nis.
The 20-year-old admitted he was into “printmaxxing”, which means the imprint that one’s p£nis size makes against the fabric of their pants.
In addition to pumping and stretching, Clavicular revealed his “shopping bag hang” trick, in which he fills a bag with books or weights, then wraps it around the shaft of his p£nis.
He claimed that doing so stretches the “suspensory ligament,” the band of connective tissue that anchors the base of the p£nis to the pubic bone.
“You could typically gain about an inch of length if you’re pretty consistent,” the looksmaxxer said.
He added that he used to do the trick while driving around in his car.
However, have warned that the risks far outweigh any potential benefits.
Dr. Rajesh Patel, president and former Chief Medical Officer of Associated Urological Specialists, says that medical penile traction devices can add a bit of length, about half an inch to just under one full inch.
But they’re designed to apply a controlled amount of tension, which is vastly different from a do-it-yourself hanging weight.
“You have no idea how much force you’re applying or how much the tissue can safely tolerate,” Patel told The Post, adding that he was “really concerned” about the trend. “The idea that you can simply ‘stretch the suspensory ligament’ and safely gain an inch is also misleading.”
You could also do some serious damage, since hanging weight from the penis strains the delicate blood vessels, nerves and erectile tissue. This extra tension can cause “bruising, swelling, skin injury and significant pain,” according to Patel.
“With enough force or repeated trauma, you can potentially injure the nerves and blood vessels, lose sensation, develop scar tissue and even cause erectile dysfunction,” he said.
Continuous weighted stretching could also lead to penile curvature similar to Peyronie’s disease, a medical condition where plaque build up under the skin of the penis causes it to bend, curve or shorten during an erection.
This method could also end up making you look smaller by damaging the suspensory ligament that’s responsible for supporting and stabilizing the p£nis, the doctor warned.
“You don’t know when you’ve crossed the line from stretching tissue to restricting blood flow or actually injuring it,” Patel explained.
