Jelq Before or After Pumping

I wanted to post this in the Pumping forum but as yet I don’t have the privileges.

I’m considering purchasing a pump.
I know I need one with a gauge and a length/diameter that suits my needs but what I was really wondering was:

Do you jelq before or after pumping? If you’ve done both which have you had the better experience with?
I’d just like to know what your experiences have been because I plan to add pumping to my afternoon girth routines.

I’m not asking for a specific pumping rule or set of guidelines just personal experience from those who pump regularly.

Thanks!

Hi Tossed Salad,

I’m no expert, but have been pumping on and off for ten months (I seem to get side tracked and try new things to make my routine more beneficial) and did a lot of reading on the subject.

Almost everything I read said to Jelq, pump, jelq, pump. Think about it! Forcing fresh blood in at first and then expand with pumping, it made sense to me. I loved pumping but it just added to much time to what I’m doing already, but definitely will return to pumping later, as soon as I get closer to my goals.

Ok cool! I might look at doing a short 5-10min pump before my jelq session and do another 5-10min pump afterwards.

Thanks

Hehe, I like your Avatar, very cheeky! :)

I jelq before I get things started, between sets and near the end and it works like a charm. In saying that there are time when I do not jelq at all or actually vary my jelqing routine; change is good.

Ok, just ordered my pump. Not quite up to LA Pump standards but for the short term it’ll do, $100 it’s a 10” long x 2.5” diameter pump with a built in gauge. Should get in 2 days time.

Now I’m like a kid at Christmas :)

I was reading the tutorial (I’m a newbie, but still trying to plot my course after the newbie routine is finished) and it states implicitly that you should pump after jelqing, but intuitively, it seems to me that it might be better to jelq after pumping. I’m really interested to hear if anyone has had success with pumping before jelqing.

Glad to hear your really getting into pumping, but I’m just curious as to what your girth is.

Depending on that, is what you should of based your tube size on. A 2.50” Dia tube is huge Dude! Check out this post by Perforeal:

I agree with Avocet8 that your current 5.5 girth puts your decision making right on the fence. To help you make your choice, I have a few comments to make.

Depending on your budget and how serious you think you might want to get into incorporating pumping into your PE routines, I suggest that you start with the 1.75 inch diameter and then eventually move up to the 2.00 inch. I’ve been pumping for awhile and even though my erect girth width reaches 6.75 inches unpumped, I still like beginning my pumping sessions in the 1.75 inch tube. This size gives my dick the opportunity to “pack” quicker and more fully and evenly up the entire shaft and gives me real good stretches for better length gains. You’ll be able to get several months worth of good and effective use out of this size alone.

I then move to the 2.00 inch size and continue the pumping session. With my dick already expanded from the 1.75 inch tube, it makes the “packing” in the 2.00 inch tube again faster and more effective. Again, I believe that this kind of transitional pumping gives me personally the most effective and lasting results. When time permits and when I really want to push the pumping envelope, I move up to a 2.5 inch diameter tube.

Points to note for beginner pumpers:
1. If the tube diameter is too big, it takes longer to achieve an effective pump
2. If the tube diameter is too big, it may be more difficult to get a good seal
3. If the tube diameter is too big, the ballsac may get sucked up into the tube.
For some this is desirable, but if your goal is to concentrate on your dick, then
consider this possibility.

Pumping size math info:
1.75 inch diameter = 5.50 inch circumference
2.00 inch diameter = 6.28 inch circumference
2.25 inch diameter = 7.07 inch circumference
2.50 inch diameter = 7.85 inch circumference

Don’t let the sizes above confuse your pumping decision. Remember that when you pump in the tube, your dick is pliable and adjusts/squeezes into the tube shape in which it is housed. So a good tightly”packed” pump in a 1.75 inch tube (5.5 inch circumference), when released will result in an expanded and relaxed pumped dick bigger than 5.5 inches circumference. Again, the priority here is effective pumping, rather than trying to overreach too quickly with a bigger tube.

This is a much longer response than I had originally planned, but I thought all of the details needed to be given for you and others to use. Let us know what you decide to do and how it all works out. Good luck!

I do both during the same routine.

I can only assume that with your girth you must enter the 1.75” without a full erection. True?

That was a typing error, if you looked at my stats, it should of read 4.75”, I’ve known about that error. I tried to edit but didn’t at the time, have time!

I’m also still using a 1.75” tube, my current EG is still under 5”. I have a 2” tube ready, but it might be a very long time till I ever get to use it.

Good eye EJ, keep me honest!

I am 5.25” girth but starting to see some creeping gain activity to the 5.375” cold mark. I ordered a 2” and started there, but have since ordered a 1.75”. I plan to work into the point where I can easily pack the 1.75”, then move into the 2”.

I am on testosterone therapy, so my nuts atrophy. Though they both won’t fit, I have sucked one nut in the tube on two occasions. Not real comfy when that happens! If I were 5 or under, I would definitely go with a 1.75”. Just my .02

I warm up than I pump for ten minutes, jelq for 30 slow strokes than I repeat for two more sets, pumping then jelq. Then I move up to my 1 7/8 tube for two sets, 10 minutes pumps, 30 jelqs. This works for me pretty well indeed.

However this is just my preference, you can actually do it which ever way you feel comfortable.

Where did you get a 1 7/8” tube?

I had to go for this one due to budget restrictions and the length of other pumps were too short and had a average diameter of 1.5-1.75" (I’m 7.5"x6.125NBP already).

None of the other pumps had gauges whereas this one comes built in. I would have loved to buy a LA Pump but I’d be looking at $180-$400 for everything I need.

In the future, depending on how things go with this pump I’ll upgrade (or downgrade, whatever).

I won’t order from here, an online adult store supplies these same products at a higher price. High price sucks but I’ll get it overnight rather then 1-2weeks.
