IR with Pump - I'm a CONVERT

Hey Guys,

Just a report from the trenches here.

I just started using an IR lamp and the results are scary good.

What it seems like so far …

As I type this I’m in the middle of my 2nd ten minute round and I have already packed as much as I normally do after about 5 rounds.

I’m putting the IR on for the first couple minutes in the tube. I also used IR for a couple minutes before to warm up.

Be careful! These things get hot! I have a towel around my legs and abs to prevent getting burned. The lamp is about 2 feet away from the tube pointing right at my unit.

I wish I could direct the light better, but so far this is amazing. I think it will be a huge breakthrough for me.

I have always pumped with an electric heat pad wrapped around the tube. Don’t know if there is any difference between what type of heat you choose, but, the heat does make a difference.

I use IR for my manual stretches and heating pad to wrap around my tube.

spankman have you ever used a heating pad around the tube? I’m wondering if the results are any different between the 2.

Spankman.

If the heat is so hot you have to protect your legs then you would be best reducing the heat on your penis.

The reason is that your dick is getting a lot of blood through it and that is taking the outside heat away so it feels cooler, But IR also heats up the internal tissue as well, and because the blood flow is less, will heat up just as much as your legs are doing. You will not feel the heat there as there are no nerves (or very few ) to indicate that the tissue is getting overheated. So if you are not careful you could get internal burns. This will lead to scar tissue which in turn will not allow as much stretch unharmed tissue.

I would suggest you back the lamp off until your skin is bearably hot.

thanks for the advice!

I might try a 125 bulb now to see if I can still get a good effect with less heat.

I have not used a heating pad, but since the IR heats internally I think this must be better …

Spankman.

There’s nothing wrong with usig IR as the internal heat is in fact better, because it can get to the ligs which are buried, and will not be so easily heated using the pad.

It’s just important to remember that you outer skin is the best sensor for heating. Providing that is not causing discomfort then it should be OK, So just moving back a bit may be all that is required.

I’m a great fan of IR myself. So I wouldn’t like to put you off it.

Petitfaun, how much success have you had with IR heat? What methods have you found work best while using IR?

Stormy,

It’s difficult to pin an exact success rate on Ir because I have tried several methods. But in general I have found the following - Not in any order of precedence but ‘as they come’

First it is probably the most convenient method, as it’s a simple switch on, and needs no preparation. It’s constant all the time it is being used, ie I don’t have to stop to refresh hot water or wraps. No clearing up. Easily controllable. Probably a bit more expensive as it has to be purchased separately - unless you use an electric fire or infra red heater. As well as a lamp; I have a 3kW variable heater which I built onto a wooden base and pole which gives me variable height, and length for general sprains etc., from weight training. (I also broke a disc in my back so it’s useful for easing pain there)

My stats I gave when I joiined were not done on the ‘approved’ basis. as being a newbie I just went ahead, and measured down the side of my dick. But presently I’m, pull stretched at 7.25” side measurement from 6.6” when I started. So from that I’ve gained about 3/4”

Erect girth is about 6” a 1” gain

These are largely due to jelqing and pumping with just an IR beam directed on my groin area.

I did use a home-made pump for a while but recently have purchased a proper system witha 2”x9” tube which when my dick is pumped up will fill it girthwise so it comes out of the pump at about 6 1/4. yesterday I received a penis/scrotum tube 3”x9 which it is said my the manufacurers is for increased length as it works more on the ligaments and should give length gains. It certainly feels like my dick is being pulled out of it’s ‘socket’ when in use. Again, the IR lamp is just used as a direct heat source, altbough less direct heat is required as the heat is held in by the tube.

Finally as has been discussed recently on the forum a ‘rundown’ of heat after the session is essential as it does help to keep the flaccid hang longer.

So I much prefer to use IR. particularly after I found that using hot water caused some ED difficulty for a while,

The pumping sorted that out after one session.

I have a feeling and at present I stress it is a feeling that IR could exacerbate the donut effect when pumping as it does tend to swell the penis more than applied heat. So a larger pump may be worth considering here. Perhaps other members could give their opinion on this aspect.

So that’s about it. As mentioned. It is not really a measurable difference, as heat is heat in whatever form but The convenience of IR makes ‘working out’ more productive. more pleasurable, and hence more successful. But it has to be used with caution and attention to it’s dangers of overheating
