Healthy vs. Blue/Dark While in Pump

I guess I should know this, because it sounds very Pumping 101, but I have to ask:

Sometimes when I’m in the pump, my color is normal and everything looks good. I feel like I could be there for hours. Other times, it turns that eggplant purple rather quickly - within 10-15 minutes.

Any guesses as to what might be causing that difference?

I have noticed that at the periods that my PF was over tensed …. my dick was becoming darker when jelqing or pumping.
At the periods my PF is relaxed… this issue doesn t exist.
Its a matter of blood flow.

Just an idea to think about.

I’ve noticed when I’m more “self-erect” that I get the more normal color. If the pump is doing all the work, I’m more purple. I’ve started listening to Titleist more and using heat while pumping. I wrap an electric heating pad around while pumping, and I think it helps a lot. It’s takes awhile for the tube to heat up and sometimes gets too warm, so I have to watch it, but all in all, it’s been much better.

Okay, that helps narrow it down. I suspected it has something to do with how erect I am before planting my penis in the tube.

Possibly, if the base rim of the cylinder is pushed too tight against the top of the base, it is cutting off the circulation of blood.to the surface area fo your dick.

This, too. + My current cylinder has a sharp base.
