Far more injuries with pumping because you just sit there and all the work is done for you and it’s a constant pressure, no time to relax the tissue.Over expansion of any tissue anywhere causes injury.Remember tissue has a great capacity to expand but no one knows to what limit and therein lies the problem; trying to get too much too soon!
I totally agree; and I can see the potential danger of pumping; particularly if done mindlessly - and a real temptation might set in to see it huge. Actually, to be honest pumping without a gauge scares me - tried it once with a bathmate and threw it away.
Now, as far as ballooning goes, I was ballooning intermittently before I knew what ballooning was - it just seemed like a good way to exercise my dick and develop control/stamina, among other things.
Now that I’ve started doing PE, I have refined that practice a bit and am starting to work it into my routine. Now, it just happened (I didn’t plan it or think about it) that I was ballooning a few hours after sex with my wife and yes, there was quite a bit more expansion - and immediately it was obvious, “duh, the V probably dilated/relaxed etc.” - so it was sort of an accidental discovery.
Was or IS it dangerous? Well, I don’t know exactly - which is why I started this thread.
It does seem to me that the tissue expansion involved is fairly self-limiting and somewhat organic in the nature of the increase (rather than mechanically forcing it via a pump or a clamp, etc. even sans V - and, obviously clamping/pumping with V would be seriously skirting danger.)
