Tucking!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I read somewhere you should only tuck for less than 10 hours a day or you can cause yourself to get ill and go to hospital is this true? or a myth?

 

Thanks

I have not seen any issues apart from possible temporary low sperm count but this is something to discuss with your doctor. It would not likely be a specific time anyway as people's bodies vary.

There has been no study showing that but depending what you use to tuck may have something to do with it.  I just don't know

I would tuck indefinitely if I could find the right tape to do so. It used to hurt a lot at first but now I don’t even notice it. I’m not sure if a cis man would be able to do the same and perhaps that’s what is being mentioned. I have never passed out from tucking but I have felt nauseous when I was younger and was kicked in the privates.

Where things get dangerous is when you hold your bladder for long periods of time, and in those cases it can cause problems.  That can cause serious illness and kidney problems. 

 

With correct Tucking there is really not much problem with extended periods of time because you are having to go to the bathroom every few hours.*   Of course when you go to the bathroom to urinate, you need to untuck and then re-tuck yourself even if you do the sit down routine.  Just use tummy control panties and learn how to quickly re-do yourself.  After you get used to doing it , you no longer  become engorged and it all fits nicely in place.

 

 

*This becomes even more frequent if you go on the most prescribed Testosterone blockers which are diuretics.

I have been tucking for 15 years now.  When I tuck, I tend to push everything down and then wear a gaff or tight panties to hold everything in place.  on the rear accusation, I would use tape for like 3 or 4 hours.  otherwise I used tight panties and a gaff.  But I am also lucky that I am a cancer survivor of testicular cancer and all I have to hide thanks to the hormones is a small shaft that is very easy to hide.

I tuck all the time now too. I will often tuck as I lay in bed.  Depending on how calmly I sleep, it will last for a few minutes or a few hours. The testicles want to be away from the heat of the body for optimal operations, I do think tucking help lower, maybe just slightly, T levels. I rarely get spontaneous erections now...and I do NOT miss them. 

 

I thinking of taping as related, but different. Be careful taping. The tightest taping job makes it impossible to pee. I use KT Extreme tape in a crisscross pattern. I leave the glans of the penis uncovered. It feels and looks good. I'm very flat,  I have to pee sitting down, and use toilet paper after. This method leaves the glans in a pretty sensitive spot, so a panty liner can make things more comfortable. When taping is uncomfortable it is torture, but when you get it right it really feels ans looks amazing. Play around and see what works for you.

They will shrink.  I don't even feel them anymore because they are just so small now.  I am just over 2 years in.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
