First Time Pumping - I Got Light Headed
My first pumping session did not end well, but my penis and I are both fine now, other than the several red spots that will take a few days to heal.
Before I continue, I must emphasize that I was on a six week decon break before today. Guys, take it easy when you start back up. You are like a newbie again, and your penis is not ready for intensity. Learn from my mistake.
So here’s what happened tonight:
I was very excited to try out the pump I just received. I was worried about getting a good seal, and used a fair amount of force pushing the pump into my body. This elevated my heart rate even more than the nervousness already had, and I should have waited before continuing, but foolishly, I did not. I intended to do a 10-minute set at 3 Hg and just couldn’t wait. So I achieved a good seal with KY and water, and pumped away. It was quite exciting to see my penis moving forward with the dropping pressure.
It appeared as though I was packing the tube at the base, but it was just fat pad and upper scrotum filling with fluid. Nonetheless, my penis looked veiny and quite good. I was only able to maintain this for a minute before I felt too much scrotum being squeezed in and had to release and start over. On the second try, the same thing happened and I released again after another minute. The third time was the charm. I got up to 2.5 Hg and held it for a good five minutes. At that point, I figured it couldn’t hurt to do the last three minutes at 3.0 Hg.
That was a mistake. Almost immediately upon increasing the pressure from 2.5 to 3.0, I started to feel light headed. I hit the release valve and slipped the tube off. Everything got blurry as I went to go sit down, but I didn’t get far. My knees buckled and I collapsed to the floor, quite violently. For the next five minutes, my left ear was ringing and a headache persisted. I was hyperventilating too.
After a few minutes, I got my bearings and washed up. The red spots were many and a few were somewhat larger, although nothing unusual. Worried that my penis may had lost some functioning, I masturbated and I am happy to report I got decent EQ and shot a healthy load.
Overall, this was a harrowing experience, and unnecessarily so. I will attempt pumping again when the red spots disappear. Jelqing never caused spots like these, so I feel that if I pump wisely, I may get some nice gains.
But what to make of getting light headed? I’ve never collapsed like that, and healthy erections have never been a problem in the past. Pumping somehow seems to have caused a temporary drop in blood pressure or something similar. I hope some others may be able to share a similar experience or provide some insight into this situation.
