I finally did it, I'm joining the pumpers

Cool! You’ll figure out a good routine/comfort level in no time. Hopefully, you’ll figure out a way to keep the extra skin out of the tube, and be comfortable. I agree with sta-kool, that it must release feel-good chemicals in your brain. Hope it is for you, too.

Thanks for the support guys. Do you think maybe I should buy a 1.75 tube and work into the two when I’m packing the 1.75? I have a good amount of room in the 2”.

Another options is a converter Richard, I asked about it here: Are conversion collars ok to use Also, what if the cylinder is too ‘small’ but haven’t had any replies back yet :(

I woke up this morning and my balls hurt from that cylinder pulling a portion of my sack in, which caused the tube flange to squeeze against my testicles hard. Ouch! I had morning semi rather than the usual rager. I think I overdone the time. 9_in_richard <———-dumb ass! I was experimenting like a kid with a new toy at christmas.

I will follow Advocet8’s routine plans from here on out.

Yes, thanks, I read that post and was kind of waiting to see what was said. I will likely order a 1.75" cylinder. They are only like $28. Thanks for the help and good luck!

I am assuming you saw this:

Selecting Your Cylinder Size

I have been lucky I guess and not gotten “testicle suck” with my 2”. I will say that I mostly use the 1.75”.

On the other hand, I am assuming your base girth is larger than mine.

Everything Lampwick says is golden. The first increase you will see is in base girth and that will help.

Yes, I read all that I could on vacuum pumping, prior to ordering my cylinder. I did not get one in the cylinder. Because of the slight peno-scrotal web, it pulls the skin into the cylinder which causes the base of the cylinder to really push down on my balls. This causes a dull constant aching on my balls for the duration of my set. Kind of like getting your balls squeezed by two midgets for 10 minutes.LOL

Attractive female ones, or mean ugly guys?

I get what you mean now. Things will probably work out with a little time, as Lampwick says.

It might help to stretch your scrotum out before going in so your balls are not riding so high?

Yeah, probably Lamp’s a pretty slick dude!

I spent 10 minutes in the tube sitting in the bathroom while my wife bathed and asked me PE questions. I was at 3-4hg and it was a little less uncomfortable than the day before. I had good erection quality during sex at midnight and good am wood. So far so good. I noticed this time that my cock was discolored from blood and subcutaneous fluid this time when I came out. That was not the case the first time. I’m getting ready to do 10 minutes again here in about an hour, so we’ll see what happens.

Hahaha…You make it sound like she was quizing you on PE.

A nice healthy pink color, right?

I try to “milk the tube” now and again, helps bring some nice fresh blood in. Basically you grab the cylinder and pull it away from your body a little bit:

That is from this thread:

Stretching & Milking the Tube

A dark pink to red.

Just done 10 minutes around 4hg.I pre-warmed, jelqed for 10 minutes, massaged and then into the tube for 10 minutes from 2-4hg. When I came out, I post warmed for 2-3 minutes. My penis was not soft or spongy but felt fuller. I measured it out of curiosity as I have been edging 5.5” post jelq. It was hard, vascular and easily hit the 5.5” mark. By the way StaKool, I really appreciate your help and support brother! So far so good.

I’ve noticed after the past few days that I am seeing a change in shape and it seems that It is of greater density. It feels thicker and firmer.

I pre-warmed for 3 minutes last night, jelqued for 10 minutes and then went into the tube for 10 minutes at 4-5hg. I didn’t see alot of erect expansion, but definitely felt the difference in flaccid girth. Had great morning wood and a few spontaneous boners this am. I have noticed that my blood flow to my unit has improved alot. My penis always feels warm to the touch now, where as before it varied greatly. So, if nothing else comes of my new found hobby (pumping) then at least I have improved my penile health by improving blood flow.

I ordered a 1.75” JD cylinder yesterday. I’m going to try it and see how I fit it. If I have room for girth expansion in it, then I’ll probably use it until I can pack it well, then go into the 2” when I’m a bit more advanced with pumping.

It’s weird because pumping is not a good feeling for me, it’s actually un-comfortable, but I look forward to it. I think it’s the anticipation of seeing what it will, look like when it comes out of the tube!

As for the JD cylinder and the harbor Freight pump set-up, they are great. I always get a great seal and the pressure release on the pump is great.

My routine as it is evolving (based on PI’s) (Keeping in mind that I am an advanced PE’er_ This is not a newbie routine)

Currently:

* Jelquing continues every other day (pre warm 3-5 minutes)
1. Wet jelq with Equate lube
2. Moderate pressure jelq at a 2-3 second tempo with good form
3. Jelq 10-20 minutes depending on “feel”
4. Post warm 3-5 minutes

* Vacuum pump with JD 2” cylinder every day (enter lubed 3/4 erect)
1. Pre warm 3-5 minutes
2. Slowly pump up to 3-5hg
3. Maintain 3-5hg range for 10 minutes (will evolve to as per Advocet8’s chart)
4. Massage and post warm 3-5 minutes

* Wear Andro ADS at medium tension during work hours only
1. ADS is set to normal erect length or .2” above
2. Worn 4-8 hours per day on work days (I work 3-4 days per week)
3. Remove once every two hours to massage

* ANS during sleep time (this will be incorporated when it arrives)
1. Wear at low tension at bedtime
2. Worn post jelq/pump to heal under very mild extended tension.

And of course Supplement with Ginko, Multi, L-Arginine and all of my other supplements.
