I have been pumping on and off for nearly forty years. During that time I have been through phase of consistent pumping that included pumping at night. I never came to any harm doing so. I have also read of other guys that have pumped at night and state they never came to any harm, either. Yet I’ve read reports of guys that pumped only during the day and have injured themselves… so? On the other hand I’ve been bored by guys that set themselves up as some kind of walking encyclopædia, making sweeping statements based on their personal opinion rather than their personal experience. They say things like, ‘everybody know,’ when it’s obvious they haven’t asked everybody. Or, ‘It’s written,’ without telling us where it’s written, or, ‘It’s dangerous,’ without explaining why it’s dangerous. Just because somebody feels something is dangerous, that their own common sense tells them it’s dangerous, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is. I’m sure there was a time that bungie jumping was considered suicide before people started doing it. The guys we ought to be paying attention too are those that have actually tried methods and base our decisions on their results, especially when several have taken the leap and collectively say how fantastic it was and they can’t wait to do it again.
I Agree with what you say seahorse. I very really contribute to this forum any more as anything and everything that is said is likely to shot down in flames by people that are experts in everything. I started under water pumping about 1980, in the bath, then in the spa pool. I started ” condom ” pumping , but using a bike innertube a few years after that to help reduce the donut effect.
Started doing all night pumping about 1998, and have made dozens of tubes of different sizes. My favorites are ones I have made for a couple of friends, which have a double flare rollback end . In other words the end is rounded all the way back and you don’t get the end digging into your body. To get the perfect seal you need to be cleanly shaven ,[ not recomended ] plucking pubic hair is the only way to go, and after a few years, just like weeds, they get smaller and smaller until they disappear.
Now while we have all the experts here, perhaps someone can give some advice on the use of Trimix verse Quadmid. ??????? What you dont know what I’m talking about? Never used the stuff. Well I have
many times, but I will leave it to those that know everthing to explain all about it.
