For You Experienced Pumpers...

I have been a long time member of this forum. I have done PE off and on, but I’m back and I’m ready to gain! I just bought a pump with a gauge and used it for the first time. The expansion was huge in the tube. If only it could stay that way ;)

As soon as I pulled the tube off after my 10 minute session it went 100% all the way back to normal size INSTANTLY. Does it start staying for longer as you get more consistent with it? I can’t imagine it ever stays pumped for like 15 minutes or so after.

When you do make pump girth gains, are they erect gains? If I make erect girth gains from pumping, is my erection softer than normal or is it still just as firm as a normal erection? My concern is that pump girth gains could be softer due to blood fill versus true girth gains.

It really means a lot to get some responses from the experienced pumpers. Thank you for taking the time.

Over time it will stay more full. When you gain girth it won’t be because of edema.

I have been pumping for ten years. After 4 or 5 years, I had gained over one inch of permanent girth Unfortunately, I have ED (diabetic) so I always come out flaccid unless I slip on a tight constriction band to maintain my pumped erection. However, when I come out flaccid, my flaccid remains somewhat engorged for an hour or more. Sometimes up to four hours if my sessions last over 30 minutes.

4 or 5 years is a LONG time. What kind of consistency/routine did you have?

What about gains after 3-12 months? Length and girth…

Am I supposed to stay hard the whole time? When I pull the tube off it still has that full look but it’s flaccid.

Have made some solid length gains over time. But girth 0. Tried a lot of stuff, lots of jelqing, squeezes, clamping (for a short time). Maybe my penis will respond differently to the pumping. My first goal is to go from 4.5 > 4.75 in girth. Even if it gives me temporary gains that last 2-3 days and I just have to keep doing it to maintain that size, that would be fine for me. Just might not be fun bringing a pump on an airplane when I’m not checking a bag ;)

Do any of you ever do dry pumping? Would save a lot of time/cleanup.

I pump completely dry. I have to use an oversized tube though and shave thoroughly before every session. I don’t even use lube on the base of my dick.

Pumping with no lube requires entering the tube erect or at least close to erect. If not your dick will rest somewhere on the tubes interior wall and it will stick instead of slide when you increase vacuum

The only cleanup is all the precum I dribble😛

What vacuum level are you pumping at?

10 minutes is a long duration to just jump into unless you are plenty conditioned from girth exercises.

I’m no veteran pumper but I would recommend staying under 4 in hg and starting your sessions erect and short duration. It’s much easier on the dick to ease into pumping. I’ve tried jumping into things I hear recommended but I think I’m a little more sensitive than most other guys here when it comes to PE. I dunno. I seriously started out at 3x 3 min sets at 2.5 to 3 in hg. Super light but gave me a chance to adjust to the forces.

Diving in always resulted in me hitting a wall or bad EQ from too much immediate fatigue. Or it starts out good for the first few sessions and THEN I have a seemingly random drastic drop in EQ. Cumulative fatigue is not at all random tho

What percent erection would you guys say you average over a full pumping workout? Would starting semi erect and kegeling to max erection work?

Some go in erect, some don’t. I don’t and have had good results. I do kegel to keep fresh blood moving in.

I wish I was like you guys who can enter without erection and have a good pump session. I always fatigue way faster and usually end up with red spots even at low vacuum levels if I’m not hard

Deleted. Accidental double post

I’ve only been pumping for about 6 months now, but I noticed my sessions are better (1/4”-3/8” longer length in tube vs flaccid start) when I go in mostly hard and then stay aroused the whole time.

I’ll have to try some more flaccid pumping, but there seems to be less edema when I stay hard in the tube. When I exit the tube I still have a pretty full erection, and I go straight into some edging for about 5 mins before stopping. I also do kegels while in the tube, and pull the tube out and back repeatedly (not hard) to pull fresh blood in every few mins.

My only concern going forward is I’m pumping nearly every day, and using porn as a stimulant to keep me hard during the session. Kind of worried about desensitizing myself with the porn by using it too much and having relationships suffer because of it, but that’s outside what this topic is about.

You’re right to be concerned Pierce. It’s a slippery slope. Some guys can do that with no adverse EQ effects and still want to bang their partner. Some guys it catches up with. Keep an eye on it.

If you start to struggle to get hard to pump you’re probably looking at porn and/or pumping too frequently. I would try to rely it less if I were you. Unless you’re a lucky one, it will most likely catch up with you in a negative way.

Instead of fully focusing on it the whole time, You can try glancing at a pic or a few seconds of a video now and then during the pump session to spark your arousal to stay hard. Another option is don’t look at hardcore scenes or pics but rather try to use anticipation as your source of arousal by looking at non nude pics. Non nudes will not desensitize you to the same degree as fully nude softcore or hardcore.

I’m like you and get a much better and healthier pump if I pump fully erect.
I try to cultivate self arousal so I don’t rely on porn. As someone who used to hoard porn, I know it’s potential for personal and relationship issues when viewed too frequently.

To each his own, and good luck bro

Adgj1987,

How long did you try jelqing, squeezes and clamping for?

Did you expand past your normal erect size during the exercises?

Did you ever see any post session temporary gains from those exercises?

Some guys have a really hard time gaining girth BUT it does take a reasonable time to see any gains in many cases. My penis gains length with ease but girth is a very careful struggle.

The thing that has helped my girth gains the most is just being consistent with routine and having discipline to not overtrain

Thanks for the response alterd, I appreciate the advice. I agree it’s not a healthy thing to do going forward, so I’m going to ditch the porn during sessions for a while and just enter the tube erect.

More than happy with my results so far, probably a good time for me to experiment a little and track my EQ better, etc.
