gprent101,
“Since taking a break from the pump about 2 and a half months ago, and beginning a manual stretch and jelq routine, the discoloration has completely disappeared, and I am making very positive gains.”
Congratulations on your gains, I wish I could get rid of my discoloration, I have taken up to 3 months off without much change, although it is hard to tell unless you take a picture.
AndreasF,
I am glad you are getting a good pump. I hope you get some permanent gains. I glad other guys are experimenting with this. Please post any novel observations or ideas.

“The condom (I would think) should act like a second skin and therefore tighter should be better…but at the same time the roll at the bottom should also be considered to be of benefit at keeping fluid from migrating up. I want to see how this goes …I may pull out my skinfold calipers and do some before after and see what the difference is in build up.”
Yea, that is sort of how I see it also. I hope you do pull out the skinford calipers, it would be interesting to see a ratio of girth increase/fluid buildup for short term, high pressure condom pumping.

“I’m wondering if results aren’t somehow dependent on the size condom used vis a vis one’s girth. A more ample condom allows more stretch than a smaller one, but what does that mean, anyway?”
I think size and elasticity are both factors. I think there is a window for both of these parameters. You are a big guy so I guess you might have to hunt around for a condom that works for you, I don’t know, I can’t say I have had the pleasure of shopping for condoms in your size range. I am still in the average girth range.
Cheers,
