New to pumping.

New guy here. Stopped at a toy store yesterday and got a pump. Came home got the lube and slapped it on. Pumped it up and popped some capillaries and got a big old do-nut. That’s how I found this place. It freaked me out and started googling. Should’ve done some research first obviously. I’m here now and have learned a good bit just from lurking at first. The do-nut dissipated overnight and the spots are fading some.

I am 52 and married. I didn’t realize my ed was as bad til now. I can’t remember the last time I had morning wood or woke to an erection in the middle of the night. I like porn but never get an erection from it. As far as sex, sometimes it works and sometimes it don’t. When it does work it’s not hard like it used to be.

Pumping isn’t the way to start. May cases of ED can be solved by strengthening you PC muscles. An effective way of doing this using Kegels. Of course all of this is in vain if you are not following a healthy life style. If you are over weight or have high blood pressure these can also be issues. I good start would be to visit your family physician. Put the pump aside for now and follow the link below. If you insist on pumping? Make sure your pump has a vacuum gauge. Low vacuum only.

Did your pump have a gauge? You should never pump without a gauge. Pumping at low pressure (2 or 3Hg) is probably less risky than jelqing, but if your pump had no gauge and you exceeded that, then yeah, it can do some damage.

Your penis should heal though, and your erection strength will return in about a week or slightly more. I suggest maybe taking a wholefood multivitamin plus some natural vitamin C to help speed up the recovery.

I also agree with i-beam about high blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, then doing any form of PE could be potentially dangerous.

My BP is good. I got a beer gut. 210# 5’10”. I’ve always done kegels. Always liked the way it felt. These were all issues I had before I pumped

So did your pump have a gauge or not? The reason why you had burst capillaries and a huge donut is likely because the vacuum pressure was just too much for your penis. That’s why having a gauge is crucial, especially if you’re just starting to pump. Starting pressure should be 2-3Hg, and gradually work your way up to 5Hg.

Yes I have a gauge and I went way too much. I know that now.

You found Thunders almost exactly the same way I did! I was in my mid 40’s, bought a toy store pump, over did it, huge donut, and I freaked out seriously afraid I had permanently ruined my dick. It’s all good now, and I’m glad in a way that it happened, since searching for help led me here. And I have learned a lot here, helping me improve both my size and performance. Sex now is better than it ever was before. Best of luck to you!

Work on your diet and kick the porn habit. That should go a long way to getting your erection issue resolved. I’m just a year younger and my erections are great.

Glad you’ve received great advice . Start the newbie routine and start pumping again maybe 5-6 months from now.

I don’t do the porn anymore except the stuff I get sent on messenger from my demented friends. Don’t get me anywhere. So why bother
