Just started pumping yesterday, it's not working

Urethra edema is a misnomer. What I described can be labeled (incorrectly) urethra edema. The edema is in your penis shaft and it compresses the urethra. The urethra is only a tube; not much area for edema to build up. It’s just reonding to the pressure of the edema buldup in your shaft. I started out saying urethra edema, then decided to be more accurate and didnt use that descriptor.

It’s just like any edema, it will go away. Over time, as you gain more experience you learn how to manage it. You’ve keyed in to one clue: 20 minutes. Next (probably) you’ll figure out the vacuum level that triggers the edema.

Try different combos of time &vac level to bracket your “problem” area.

Also, as your penis becomes more conditioned to pumping, the edema triggers will shift.

In my experience, my penis is slow to condition and quick to de condition.

That, and I could never keep the sound in. It would always slide out after a few moments. I thought about using surgical tape to hold it in place, but it would have been just another hassle.

I looked it up, it’s the "meatus" that gets huge with edema after. It looks like a bee stung it and it looks really bad. Is that common? I don’t understand why this started happening randomly…

I described a slight protrusion of the meatus, you are describing a huge protrusion. Dial your time/vacuum down until you find a better combination that produces a suitable result.

Is this a common occurrence? This has happened to me almost 4 times now. Today I did 10 x3 sessions at 5hg, with 4 minute breaks in between. This time I got it, but it subsided an hour quicker than the other day when I did the 40 minute session… It’s a scary sight though. Does it look worse than it really is?

I don’t know how common huge ones are; small is not uncommon. I’ve had them. I’m guessing you are overdoing vacuum and/or time. If it goes away over time, as you said it does, it’s just edema. If you dont like the look, make sure you dont pump before sex or going to a nude beach.

update: Been getting good results, been off and on. However I’ve noticed something slightly new? At the base when erect, the penis is starting to kind of twist or rotate more into a clockwise position. It’s very subtle but it’s obvious enough for me to notice it. This isn’t the start of peyronies is it? Have I done some type of damage or something? I hope it does not continue. Any thoughts on how this may be occurring? I’m trying to brush it off as in my head, but if it’s not, how can I go about preventing it from getting potentially worse (Rotating even more).

OMG!!! LUCK!!! Stop it like seriously!

You need to not pump for 2 months and come back at this with fresh information. I’m sorry I never saw any of your posts til today.

Read all my post and tD posts on water pumping. Water pumping should be the greatest gift to man, but how you have used your pump and all your questions have been so off, I don’t know how I have never seen this thread or if you have read any of mine.

When you get back:
1. Tell us exactly which GOOD pump you bought, pump, cylinder and gauge
2. Only water pump (not bathmate)
3. Never over 20 min

Don’t use any sleeves or cock rings or anything. Just your D, coconut oit, water and a pump

My questions have been off? The way I’ve been using it has been so off? I’ve been taking suggestions and advice from members on this forum and have been applying said advice accordingly. What am I missing here? Are you able to answer my most recent question?

Luck I think you are overthinking things and getting yourself into a bad mental place. Calm down.

You are simply doing too much. Back off and start to build up much slower than you’ve done before.

For example start with 2 X 5 mins @5HG. Massage/jelk for 10-20 stokes in between each session. Do this every other day for a couple of weeks. Then add another 5 mins and do that for a couple of weeks.

Maybe you then add a second session many hours later and build into that one again slowly. Maybe even starting with just 5 mins.

Stick to it and don’t race. This is a marathon not a sprint.

@L we are here to help, but let’s start fresh.

What pump did you buy of good quality? I heard you earlier say you started with a cheap pump.

Have you read tD info about water pumping? Bemorethanbig - How to water pump with any pump setup-no Bathmate needed

Let’s get you to be the LION with extreme confidence on this subject you deserve to be! I have not had ONE issue with water pumping and I see many problems you have had, I don’t get it to be honest, and that’s why I recommend a restart.

How old are you? and how long have you been doing PE?
