Why do they say pumping is not permanent but clamping is?

A very long (and a bit techniqe) thread on the subject

Girth theory: Pumping vs. clamping

Pumps do not suck !

Removing some air creates an unequal pressure balance meaning your natural blood pressure meets less resistance and expands into the vacuum

somewhat.

That’s sucking.

Ok we are splitting hairs over language here but the point is that a vacuum does not pull on the outside of your penis,

When you drink through a straw you create a partial vaccum in your mouth but its air pressure pushing down on the surface of the water

that drives it up the straw.

When you create a lower pressure sucking of air, the remaining matter tends to expand. Agree? So pumping is basically sucking. So true that, actually, I don’t use a pump : I use the mouth, suck air, and the job is done.

So, I think it is somewhat clear why pumping and clamping are different. Clamping expand ‘from the inside’ because the reduced volume, caused by pressing on your penis, together with the alteredblood inflow-outflow balance, creates more internal pressure. There is more blood in less space.

Although both methods are based on mechanic force. The force, in the case of clamping, is more focused on CC.

Have that point if you like then, it doesn’t change the laws of physics though.

Hell, we are lucky that, on about 150,000 members, there is at least one who knows the laws of physics. How we survived so long?

Sorry dude posted that last one before i saw your reply,

No problem. Time to get along I think. Just hope what I was trying to say is understandable, actually. I’m not ENS.

me too

On reflection i should have said “a vacuum doesn’t suck” not a pump.

As to why people say clamping is more effective maybe its because pumps have been around and getting abused for a long time

whereas clamping is relatively new,

Its also possible that it actually is more effective but at this point who knows

I think pumping puts very little stress on the internal valves, and clamping puts a lot of stress on them. It may actually be that stressing the valves is helpful in many guys.

I still would love to know the actual brand name of what most would consider the best pump to get and also where the best place to purchase it would be (online).

goldenbear, you would be much better off with that question in the Pumper’s Forum (much better than in the Main Member Forum in a thread on pumping compared to clamping):

Pumper’s Forum

There are lots of threads there on buying pumping equipment. Search is your friend.

Except in the rest of the world where they use metric!
LOL!! Sorry…
