What is your length difference pumped vs erect?

pecanpie, I have pushed the pressure to 8-9 Hg before and filled a 9" tube, so more pressure will equal more expansion length and girth wise, it’s just that much pressure is not good for you.

To share my experience I have tried short high pressure (10-12)

Hg) no longer than 5 minutes, but had to work my way up to those numbers. 7 is a good pressure to measure. But again, work your way up, don’t just jump the scales like crazy take your time, make sure it’s comfy and do short rounds, 2 to 5 minutes then take a break, massage, and do your normal routine. When starting to pump at high oressure you must take 1:30 to 2 minutes working on getting to that pressure, don’t rush it or you’ll have red dots.

Good work man.

Hmmm, 9 inhg is 30.5 kpa. I use an automatic pump with programs. The longer intervals hold the vacuum for maybe two minutes, and the short intervals immediately release the vacuum. I have had the pump a year, but I haven’t used it much until the past couple of weeks. My overall session is about 25 minutes (otherwise I get a donut). The vacuum on the longer intervals is about 28 kpa, and the vacuum on the short intervals is 40 kpa.

I guess I need to understand under what circumstances the 8-9 inhg is not good for you, because that is what I have been doing. The program only holds that vacuum a couple of minutes though, then it releases and repeats.

I am thinking that maybe most people with a manual pump hold the pressure for 20 minutes, and the fact that my automatic pump limits to a couple of minutes makes it o.k. for me?

Thanks, I am going to watch for those red dots. I have seen them, but I didn’t pay much attention. I will keep a closer eye on them now that I know they should be avoided.

Pecan, everyone’s penis is different, some can handle higher pressures some can’t. You need to understand that higher pressure can cause damage you might not see, that’s why I would recommend 6-7 Hg at the most. You can adjust your time-in-tube and see what happens, but I would personally avoid the higher pressures, again that’s up to you.

I currently do 3 sets of 10 minutes each. First set at 4Hg, second at 5Hg, third at 6Hg. I take a 5 minute rest in between each set while doing gentle firegoat rolls.

I have done the incremental pumping where I stayed in the tube the entire time, albeit at 3, 4, and 5Hg, but I found my EQ suffered sometimes. I switched to my present routine so I could get more blood/oxygenation between sets.

Thanks, I was not familiar with firegoat rolls, but I found a thread on it here. Interesting. It gives me something to think about regarding the vacuum.

I must be an oddball coz my length in the tube is 1-2cm LESS than my BPEL. I don’t feel like I get anywhere near as hard in the tube as a natural erection, even if I briefly crank it up to 10-15hg

Another factor might be cyclinder diameter. If the penis inflates in girth due to a roomy cylinder then the skin might not have as much looseness to allow for inflating in length also.

So that might be another possibility in addition to stronger erections relative to other people.

Makes me wonder, are you extremely lean?

I have a fat pad that’s 1 1/4” - so anything bone pressed really makes my length seem long (7 1/2” BPEL) but my NBPEL is only 6 1/4” and that depends on where I measure from, EQ and all that. But I also have a water pump that I don’t think has good accurate measuring markers. It can still give me a way to track max pumped erect. I am currently at 7 1/8” in my pump when before I started my length routine it was hard to hit 6 1/2”

Pumping isn’t my primary PE, just an accessory. So when I switch over to a more girth program, maybe I will get an air pump with gauge and also use FIR.

I have quite the fat pad, and measure the same in both cylinders

tenaciousD wrote earlier in this thread that he experiences the same thing.

Another possible explanation is that some people’s penises might have a greater ability to be pulled out of the abdomen slightly in response to pumping. The muscles and ligaments in some people might have more stretchiness, and some people might have a more of their penis inside the abdomen than other people.

Erection strength is another possible explanation.

I guess it doesn’t matter, but it has me curious now - haha.

I don’t have a 1 1/2" fat pad. Mine’s pretty trim. The difference in BPEL and non is less than an inch for me.

But I don’t usually get to full BPEL in the cylinder. I’ve also noticed that if i do girth work (like clamping) before getting in the tube I do’t reach max length. Although I often pack the tube quicker, I think I lose some longitudinal pliability lengthwise when I’ve been expanding prior to pumping. When I do length work or just pump for that day I seem to elongate more in the tube.

Neither here nor there, as I think expansion is beneficial stimulus for growth however it comes.

I’m finding that I am getting more length and girth when I do a set in my 2" for 15min then move into my 2.25" tube. Wish I knew why.
