How long until discoloration sets in?

I was wondering how long you guys can stay in the tube before you see very noticeable discoloration? I can only go for about 3 minutes at 2.5 hg before my penis starts to turn purple, and at 5 minutes it’s a rather dark purple :eek: I don’t know how some of you guys go for 10+ minutes :confused: I’d hate to see what my penis looked like if I did that :eek: I’m fairly new to pumping (and haven’t been consistent with it for more than a couple weeks at a time) so maybe that has something to do with why I get discoloration so fast? Do you guys find that over time you can go longer before discoloration sets in?

Yes, you can go for longer times the more experience you get, however you do seem to be ultra sensitive.

Just out of curiosity, do you bruise easily? Are you on any kind of blood thinner medication, supplement or herb?

No, not at all.

And no to the blood thinner.

Mr. Johnson, an easy way to address your problem is just to come out of the tube every three minutes, quick light massage or jelq, and back into the tube. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Alternately, you could do every three minutes what I do every five minutes, and that is to nearly completely release vacuum. Release vacuum until the needle is on the peg, and leave it there for 30 seconds, then pump back up again. Some have tried this and reported greater gains than just staying at the same static pressure for the same session time.

Thanks for the advice guys!

I had an interesting experience tonight:

Usually I just do one pumping session in a day but today I decided to do two. My first session went as usual, with discoloration starting to get bad around the three minute mark. So as usual I did about fifteen minutes of pumping with a quick break out of the tube every three minutes to allow the discoloration to subside.

Well the interesting part happened about six hours later when I went and did my second session. I noticed that discoloration was setting in much slower than usual and I was able to go for five minutes (and probably could have gone for longer but decided to take a break at the five minute mark) before I noticed any significant discoloration. I would say that at five minutes it was no worse than it usually is at the two minute mark.

Anyway, I won’t try to speculate as to why this happened (I’ll leave that to you guys if you feel like it) since I really have no idea, but figured I tell you guys about it :wave:

I’ve noticed some discoloration,which I think is permanent, since I started pumping. Any recommendations?

What’s your routine, robo?

I’ve been pumping off and on. I used to jelq, clamp but I was intrigued by the thought of pumping after I met someone who pumped. I think I over pumped and had venous leakage, discoloration on the dorsal of my penis. I stopped for while and have resumed pumping again. I guess I’m wondering what regimen to use, how long it will be before notable differences of if I will notice any differences as I have been performing exercises over 5 yrs now also don’t think that my erections are as hard as they once were with all of this. I’m performing PC recently to hopefully increase strength. I’m also taking arginine, yohimbe and ginko biloba. I’m hoping I can still increase girth as I’m afraid I ‘ve gained all I can. I need help with a pumping regimen.
