How come I have never gotten the donut effect?

Hey guys! I haven’t posted in awhile, been busy with life but I’m still doing PE. I have been going roughly 5 days a week, combinations of jelq/manual stretching somedays, and light stretching(always do it before a pumping session)/pumping(I will jelq about 75 times in between each pumping set(typically 4 sets/10 min each) on the other days. Sometimes, I will do the last 2 sets with water in the tube, wrapped with my rice sock to keep it heated.

I have seen alot of these threads pertaining to the “donut effect”.

Never in my pumping have I ever experienced ‘donut effect’. I have pumped up to 9hg for minutes at a time and I haven’t noticed anything regarding fluid buildup. I know that it is something that we all want to avoid, but I am just curious as to why I have not had it yet. Any ideas?

Maybe I need higher pressure or something, but I have tried to go up to 10hg on my pumping with no donutting. No, it doesn’t really feel good, but I didn’t keep it there for long(maybe a minute or so).

Is it possible that standard pressures that people are using on here just are too weak for me? At 5hg, I don’t feel that much pumping but I’m able to pack the bottom 1/4th of my 2’ tube. I have seen gains from PE, when I got the 2’ my shaft did not touch the sides of the cylinder barely(if at all). I know I’ve gained from pumping but am I not pumping high enough pressures?

I think your sets are so short that you are preventing it … I only get it after doing four 15 minute sets (but prevent it for the most part with my half-rolled condom technique)

Torch;

Unless you want a doughnut for some reason, be happy you’ve avoided it.

HA! I know, it sounds bad the way I posted it. I don’t want the donut, but I was just trying to ask if maybe I need to up the pressure when I’m pumping?

thetorch,

If you’re packing the base of your cylinder at 5” hg, then you’re getting enough pressure. Don’t overdo the higher pressures for any length of time or you may experience the very much unwanted water blister on your glans. Are you cut or uncut? The reason I ask is that there is more “donuting” around and above the circumcision scar line for guys who are cut.

Peforeal

I had never had it, too, when I started 4 months ago, even tho I went to as much as 8 Hg for 10 minutes in the tube after 8 weeks, which felt good.

Now, in summer (it’s extremely hot and humid here), I get the donut effect in my second set of 5 minutes of 5 Hg, and I am starting to worry.
I didn’t encounter any problems or injuries as far as I am aware of, don’t use extreme methods, and am very healthy.
Taking 1 week off didn’t change anything.

Does anyone know what could have caused this change?

Sounds like the heat

Once you exceed 10 minutes of vacuum at 5 hg or higher you usually start to experience the doughnut effect.

I assume you are on this forum for the purpose of making your erect and flaccid size permanently bigger. If so, there is nothing you want a donut for. It’s just a bugger as it doesn’t wear off if you like to wear sleeves after pumping, like myself. Be happy for not donuting!

For pumping fetishists who go for maximum momentarily expansion / disformation of the dick, find donuts attractive. But they are not usually on this forum.
