How necessary is an erection when pumping?

Like a few other members have stated, I am seldom hard when going into the pump and never hard coming out of it. I think it’s safe to say that when pumping, my erection has subsided long before my session is complete. Obviously, if I can’t stay hard when pumping, there’s nothing I can do about it. Question is, how necessary is the erection when pumping?

Today, I did a small experiement and started my session without being hard, at all. My dick eventually expanded to the size of a full erection for me (or close to it) about 3-4 minutes after I started the clock. My question here is, should I start the clock once I’m fully expanded or once I am at my usual pressure setting?

I believe these are some important questions that need to be addressed. Again, I’ll be sure to keep everyone informed of my progress as I go along.

What you described is absolutely normal, IMO.

The only difference between you and I, that I usually insert my dick erected. But after 30-60 seconds in the pump erection subsides, even if I’m excited. That’s because erection and pumping are different mechanisms at the bottom. As soon as you apply vacuum pressure, it ousts erection and artificially expands your dick. The only connection between pumping and erection is that the first improves the latter by training your vascular system.

But, like I said, you are not supposed to have erection while pumping. Only if you are very excited when pumping (for example by porn), you might find yourself semi-hard.

Cummer, do you think it would be OK to start inside the pump totally flaccid? I only say this because I waste fucking 5 mins each time getting erect before each pump set, which I do 3x 10 min per day, before the 3 x 10 min clamp and 3 x 20 min hang, before the 3 hour ADS, plus manual stretching and jelqs. Gasp. I don’t really have any time let to waste, so something like this would help me save 5 mins in a day per pre pump session. It kind of helps.

I have tried all kinds of pumping and for me, I get my best results when I start with an erection and maintain it throughout my pump routine.

So how does an old fart like me keep an erection while pumping? For one thing, I take a small daily dose of liquid tadalafil. Second, I watch porn while I pump and third and perhaps most important I wear a cock ring in the form of 2 broccoli bands for my entire pump session, which includes three 10 minute pump sets at 3-3.5"hg. By the end of the third set I am rock hard and at 6.25" girth.

Here is a thread with a pic of broccoli bands: Home-made Cock Ring

I have ordered a box of over 500 of these bands and if someone would like to try them out you can send me a PM and I can send you some if you want to send me a self addressed stamped envelope.

If you want to order a box for yourself, buy the size 81 band here:

I know myself and I know that I can’t stay hard while pumping. Still, while the benefits may by slightly better when pumping while hard, my question still stands: Is the erection necessary? i.e. Am I just completely wasting my time if I’m pumping without an erection?

I doubt I’d stop if someone told me I were, but I’d like to hear some feedback, anyway. If nothing else, my flaccid length is increasing.

I agree with gprent. I too go inside of the pump fully erect and maintain that erection during the whole pump session by watching porn. I think that by maintaining your natural erection with the vacuum force added to it your expansion will be my tunica expansion then fluid build up. I notice then when I stay erect I get less fluid build up and more tissue expansion then when going in the pump semi erect. Pumping is what gave me my first quarter inch in length which is crasy since pumping is primarily for girth.

Fluid buildup is something I’m yet to experience, I wonder why that is.

Ok guys to be honest I’m brand new to p.e. I don’t even know if it works.. But I have been in search of something that will help my girth when I’m just flacid.. And I would like to make my cock head bigger and more defined.I do wear cock rings alot when I have sex and it helps but I don’t want to rely on them anymore. So if someone could point me in the right direction it would so help. And I do own a pump and I use it before I have sex and I also take male enhancement pills like cock star and or rock hard weekend.. But I have been told those aren’t good for you so could someone also point me in the direction of safe supplements to use to promote blood flow to the penis as well. Thank you all for taking the time to help it means the world.

17ml,

I go into the pump erect because I pump primarily for the improvement of erection. By doing so I believe I better train blood circulation and vascular system.

Basically, I agree with Gprent and Saiyan’s point. But, under vacuum I find very difficult to maintain natural erection, and it’s usually ousted by the force of pressure. Unless I’m very excited. On the other hand, when I’m very excited, I find very difficult to stay in the pump :D

My guess is that much depends on the pressure which one applies. I don’t have a gauge but my assumption is that it is relatively high and that’s why my natural erection is suppressed.

Another, additional reason is that my EQ is not excellent at all. Perhaps, that’s why my natural erection is so easily substituted by vacuum force.

So, 17ml, I’d recommend you to decrease pressure and watch your favorite porn movies during pumping sessions if you want stay erect in the tube for a longer time.

There is section “Supplements” at this forum. It contains a lot of useful information on this subject.

In a nutshell, Ginkgo Biloba, L-arginine, cialis (original or generic).

When I see that photo next to westla’s avatar, the word, Docking comes to mind.

I just gave you 3 things to try to help maintain an erection, tadalafil, porn and cock rings and you just ignored them.

No, you don’t need an erection, it’s just what works best for me. If you pump without an erection, you should end up with expansion that increases your size to larger than your normal erection. So it will be larger, but just come out of the tube a little floppy. Then you should massage to a full erection and enjoy your new size for a while.

As long as your pump result increases your size larger than normal, you are going to get results.

Yes, that broc to broc looks like cock to cock. :)

I keep reading the title to this thread as:“How necessary is an erection when humping?

That would be a lot easier to answer. :D
