First pumping experience

So I went ahead and purchased a pump and cylinder from Vacu-Tech. I followed the advice that they gave and most of all, what Avocet8 posted in his “Vacuum Pumping 101” thread.

I kept it right around 3mmHg for 10 minutes. The pressure would slowly sink and I’d pump a bit to get back to around 3mmHg (sometimes slightly going over). As tempted as I was, I followed Avocet8’s advice and stopped there. Quite a different experience I must say. I actually almost blew my load in the tube within the first few seconds. After a couple of minutes I think I got more used to the sensation and was able to handle it.

Anyways, I could tell there was some ever so slight expansion beyond my normal erect size in there. But just as soon as I released the pressure, poof, my dick was half limp! I was a bit surprised. I thought the expansion in the tube is supposed to at least last a few minutes. Did I do something wrong?

Pleasant experience all-in-all. I’ll stick to Avocet8’s advice of one 10 minute session a day for the first week and take it from there.

Just felt the need to share the experience and ask if it was normal for my erection to go from full to 50% the instant I released the pressure (I entered the tube with a full erection, if that makes a difference). Also, any beginner tips/advice are always welcome, though I’ve done quite a bit of reading on the forum.

After not getting any gains with manual stretches, jelqing, or extenders, I’m hoping pumping can make some sort of difference, even if gains aren’t permanent.

growing, you can actually pump to to 5hg and be safe. Also you may want to try doing 5 minutes pump,5 minutes jelq and repeating the process twice until you get good with it then you can add another set to that. You will find you get better expansion

Unless you kegeled and fantasized while pumping, you where probably only semihard when you released the vaccum.

Thanks for the feedback guys. You’re right waihung, the next few times I pumped I was still erect when I withdrew from the pump. However, the slight expansion I got from inside the pump disappeared instantly. I assume that will change with time.

Quick question… I’ve been pumping between 3 and 5 Hg and it’s felt great, no discomfort on the penis. However, where the cylinder meets my pelvis it feels like its pushing down a little hard after a few minutes. Kinda painful. Is there any home remedy for this? As in, anything I can put on the bottom of the cyllinder to make it a bit more comfortable on the pelvis but not affect the seal? Or do I just have to order some kind of silicone sleeve made especially for this? Ok, so that was more than one quick question :)
