How important is it to enter cylinder erect?

How important is it to enter the cylinder erect to get good results from pumping?

I’m new to pumping.

In my opinion its depends.

If you have a narrow cylinder its doesn’t matter.

If the other way around it is because the fat pad have more space to be sucked when you are not erect.

You’ll get the best results if you’re erect, but it’s not always possible for some people. Even if you enter erect, it’s hard for a lot of guys to keep wood for a full session. You play the hand you’re dealt and pump anyway; it’s not a waste of time even if it’s not as effective.

One theory is that if you enter the tube erect you will have less edema. As AndyJ says, play the hand you are dealt. I go in flaccid.

This is a method I use to get the most penetration, or length in the tube. Enter the tube erect or flaccid and pump to your normal pressure.

After about 5 minutes reduce pressure and exit the tube. Then re-enter, bone press the tube into your crotch and pump back up and continue your normal routine. What this does for me is give me about ¼ inch or more penetration (length) into the tube. Give it a try and see if it works for you.

Good one

That is a great method!

I almost always go in flaccid, without heat or lube. I don’t recommend this, it’s just what I do.

It’s quick and effective for my needs. Which is maintaining consistent expansion for increased pleasure during sex.

I would recommend, if you have the time, to use a heating pad, lube and go in erect.

Definitely give G’s approach a try. I will often organically do what he has described, which is entering for a few minutes and then exiting and reentering to improve my position in the tube.

Definitely try out a bunch of stuff, just be careful and don’t over do it.

I go in in a semi at best, but I don’t pump consistently as it is not pleasurable to me personally. It is, for me, uncomfortable whether hard or flaccid.

After exit, do you immediately enter the tube? Re-enter erect or flaccid?

Yes pretty much immediately. Yes re-enter erect or flaccid, however you just exited. If you can get from flaccid to erect or semi, that would be ideal. The goal is to get deeper penetration the 2nd time around. I have even reset a third time after another 5 minutes and gotten further penetration into the cylinder. Pressing the cylinder into your crotch as you pump up is a big help.

I can go in erect but definitely can’t hold it for 20 mins etc since I am not watching porn or anything. Do you think it would be more effective to try and stay erect? Have been pumping say 15-20 mins between 4-5hg. Then come out of the tube and jelq and stroke 5 mins or so get a good erection again and go back in for another 10-15.

An interesting idea, the re-setting in order to gain more tube penetration! One thing I do is to immediately put a ring on once exiting between sets, and then do very slow jelqs while engorged and warm. Typically this results in a pretty erect member, and I suspect it could be coaxed to full. Then re-enter and press as suggested? I have never checked to see if there was any measurable greater depth, but I do know it seems so.

Contrary to popular advice I do watch porn when I pump to stay erect. What you are doing is very close to what I do. I say do what works best for you. Just always be on the watch for going overboard. I like your routine. 👍👍

Sounds like a good plan to me. Go for it. 👍👍
