Penimaster panic, paranoia and difficulties

Recently just completed 100+ days of the newbie routine and had some decent gains which I plan to document fully in a future thread.

I wanted to continue some of this manual PE work (Manual stretches with Jelqing) with slightly less sessions, and supplement with an ADS.

After doing some research on here, and checking the various devices mentioned, I decided to go with the Penimaster. I brought the full kit including extender and weights (as I planned to introduce these in 6 - 12 months when I was a more ‘seasoned’ PE’er).

Despite the device seeming to be ‘over engineered’ it seemed to tick all the boxes for me and is a high-quality, well made German product.

After watching the tutorials online, I ordered one and a week or so later it turned up.

I immediately unpacked it and got ready to connect myself to the device. I used coconut oil (my main lube choice) and applied some to the glads, head, and the inside of the device. After compressing the green balloon, I placed my member onto the sluice and slowly released, creating the suction. My head shot right into the end of the device and I was connected.

The first thing I noticed was when pulling down on the head of the device, how strongly I was connected and I thought this concept could work (ADS). I felt very positive at this point.

I then tried to release myself from the device and realized I had such a good suction, I was not going to be able to get out of it without releasing the pressure. I immediately tried to turn the valve at the end of the device but it appeared to be stuck and wouldn’t turn.

I literally couldn’t get the valve to release and about had a panic attack in the process. For some reason, it wouldn’t release. I must of either been over tightened to begin with or I wasn’t turning enough ‘anti-clockwise’ which is the unnatural way to turn if you are right handed and holding your penis with your left hand as you are actually turning against yourself.

My only idea was to reconnect the green balloon to try and turn the valve. I tried this a couple of times without inflating it and it still wouldn’t come off! Going through my head was how I was going to have to explain this at the hospital or to my Mrs!

I tried a few more times, but this time compressing the balloon, as if I was connecting for the first time. This in hindsight was bad thing as it would of created more suction. But then I heard a large popping noise, which just shit me up further and the pressure released. I later found out that I had burst the main latex wrapping inside the head. Luckily I didn’t get any damage from this but I did crap myself and called it a day.

I went back to the next-day, after cooling off, and re-watched all the videos online on the official website, and read the whole manual.

I replaced the inside latex in the main head, and then reconnected the sluice to the head. I then did some practice runs using my thumb, and practiced turning the valve to release the pressure. I think on my first run the valve must of been a bit tight, and in combination with me not knowing the correct way it was meant to turn to release the pressure, along with my enthusiasm to use the device, this led me to make a mistake the first time round and end up blowing the latex out!

I lubed up again and connected myself to the device whilst in a flaccid state. I practiced entering and exiting the device a few times and was now relaxed in this process. It really is easy after a few runs.

This leads me to my next dilemma. If you look at your penis from the side whilst connected, and pull on the head as if you are simulating a stretch using the belt or extender, there is some stretch/space between the head of your penis which is in the end part of the device and the sluice which sits over your glads.

When I look at the penis side on, I can obviously see the latex on the sluice stretch to the end of the head part of the device, and it just looks so thin. Obviously I am flaccid at this stage, but it just looks so dam thin and skinny, its scary. I’m just over 4” flaccid girth, but when I look side on, it looks like its 2-3”. I’m using the standard supplied yellow colour latex which is their normal range. I get really good traction with this from what it seems, so I don’t think the latex is too small.

Is this normal? It literally makes my stomach turn if that makes sense for anyone else using this device. I am actually wondering if I can use this device without the connecting sluice as this is putting me off using it long term.

I am setup in my daily routine to wear an ADS which I plan on getting up to 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week. I planned on doing this for 6 months so I want something comfortable that will live up to this routine. However, the way this looks just seems too thin and really worries me. Am I just being a pussy?

As I said before I’m well versed now in the newbie routine performing strong manual stretches and jelqs, and have done some pumping with a couple of different pumps as well without issue. I have always warmed up and down and never had an injury. I only had some minor E/Q issues when doing too many days on a row without any rest days.

However, this particular ADS is just giving me anxiety right now and any wise words would be appreciated. I’ve already started looking at other ADS that aren’t vacuum based as I may end up shelving this, but it appears their aren’t many and they have their own issues (keeping it in place, blisters/discoloration and getting a good hold).
