rolo; you’ll likely find that the longer you’ve been at pumping, the longer that post-pump flaccid size will last.
rwg;
All doubters believe pumping gains are not permanent; those of us who have got gains from pumping believe that isn’t so.
Personally, I think the key is in combining pumping with other PE exercises and at moderate pressures. Because pumping gives such good girth and length stretch, it’s a terrific way to augment and perhaps to cement expansion you get from stretching, jelking, squeezes, etc. Plus it feels damned good.
I’ve noticed from posts here in this forum that we’ve all had different flaccid experiences both in post-pumping size and the length of time that lasts. I’ve been doing this a pretty long time and can usually count on hanging longer and heavier for a day or two – not the size I am for the first few hours, but enough to make me a “shower” which I never was before taking up pumping. I’ve already posted about the erect gain I got from pumping without other PE exercises.
If you do decide to try it, with the size you are now, you should get a cylinder at least 10 inches long, maybe even a 12” one in case you are one of those guys who gets great length expansion under vacuum. You don’t want to be hitting the air coupler at the top of the tube with your glans. You’d need a 2.25” diameter cylinder since your girth is already substantial.
I’m curious to know what your ultimate goal is. I’m close to where you are now and have been thinking lately that I’m pretty content with that, not wanting to size myself out of some sexual experiences I now enjoy. Of course, there’s the other side of PE many of us get caught up with: do you ever have enough? :-)
