Joining the Pumping Club

Hi Everyone

I have been around reading for a while now and doing some jelqing which I have gotten some decent gains from. I did some pumping a few years ago but stopped.

But I decided to start it up again and really stick too it. Got my pump yesterday from LAPDist. It took them 3 days and I ordered the Deluxe kit with a 1 3/4” x 9” tube to start with. The tube is of very good construction and I especially like the flared out base that eases the tention applied when pumping and thought it sealed very well. Props to LAPDist and I will order from you again shortly… least if I make my goals :)

Just have a few questions for all…. I have read a bit in the forums and just want to know peoples opinions.

- My shaft is slightly bent to the left… once you fill the tube do you think this will start addressing this issue? So overtime I can try to work it down a bit. Its not a bad bend just something I would like to fix… the wife don’t complain so its all good..

- When you do finally fill the tube girth wise. How long should I stay at that tube size before moving on to another? Hoping to cement some gains in the tube before moving on. I am mostly working on girth so length is on the back burner and only looking for another inch in lenth appox. anyway. I need to gain about an 1in for having a 6in girth and I estimate it taking about 6-8months is that a safe estimate?

- Lastnight when I tried this new tube I had a guage :) And I started at about 5-7psi and that felt just fine. I noticed no red marks or swelling of any kind. Not sure if its from jelqing and doing a little clamping but that pressure seemed good and most of all no pain :)

- This is more of a maintainance question I know they say warm soapy water to clean the tube with. But my question is about the valve at the top. Does water/soap harm this? Is there something I should stay away from and lookout for so I don’t mess up the valve?

- For all those guys wondering if you should tell your wife??? I did and she was very open and didn’t mind at all. She gave me the normal stuff like your fine just they way you are :) But she watched and asked questions and hey she got lets say a lil horny and you know what comes after that :D So the support from your wife and girlfriend I think is pretty important and it makes doing all this even more enjoyable.

- Just a little comic relief… The wife saw the size of the tube and she said thats 9” … OMG don’t you go getting that big because you can hurt people with something that big.

Thanks Everyone and I will try to keep my Signature up to date with my progress.

Another advantage of telling the wife is to have her massage you between sessions. Mine does and I have to admit she can massage it alot better than I do, plus I’m nice and hard to go back in the tube. There are some real good benefits from PEing.

I’ll get you started.

There is ample evidence that pumping regularly in a properly-sized tube will help to correct a bend, at least by degrees and slowly. We are talking months. Just be patient. In the case of a bend, the tube should be comfortable, but potentially corrective of the bend, offering slight resistance against it. You will get nowhere if your bend is severe and you try to cram it into a straight-walled tube too small for you.

This process is sort of like “corrective shoes?” A little change, you get new shoes? Then you get new shoes?

Girth is slower than length for most of us, although there are some notable exceptions. My advice? Don’t set yourself a time goal, just a size goal and work toward that.

Thx for the advice avocet8.

No the bend isn’t serious at all or hurt when you put it striaght. I would say it is 8-15 degrees off center so was hoping with time I could correct it a bit. Wife doesn’t really notice it but you know how it is you notice so that all that matters and ya want to fix it.

Yeah i’ll try to take the time table out of it. Was basically using it as a guage/motivation. I know its going to take some time by reading everything in the forums. Willing to committ the time because its for a good cause :) But if an hour or so out of my day I can make any progress it is well worth it.
