Luvdadus' pumping thread

Yeah, I made the leap and bought a pump. Showed it to the wife last night. She’s being a real sport about it and actually seems a little turned on by it all. (I also bought her a Rabbit pearl vibrator).

I went ahead and bout a porn video store/adult toy store model.

I considered ordering a sleeve etc on line and get a mity vac, but I didn’t want to fuss with the aspect of it getting delivered to my inlaws who live next door.

Any how I’m hoping that what pumping can offer me is a bit of girth gains (I have been stuck at 5.375 for months but an unofficial girth measurement this am was 5.500).

I haven’t started using it yet, I thought it best to read more. I might just slide in for a feel today.

The thing is probably a little wider than you would recommend for my girth (I’m estimating about 2.25), but it has some little jelly rubber sleeve thingies that fit on the bottom to make a tighter fit at the base (three sizes). I expect that will keep my balls out of the tube. It has a bulb pump and no guage. (I’ll likely make a trip to auto zone within the next few days or weeks).

Any how Avocet and any of you experiencce pumpers feel free to drop any tips you like. In the meantime I’ll be studying up on the faq and pumping 101 thread.

Cool. The luvdadus has joined the ranks of the outcasts of the PE world…the pumpers! LOL :D

I don’t qualify as one of the “experienced pumpers” so I won’t be offering you a lot of advice. But I will encourage you with the potential that I have already experienced. My flaccid girth and hang have improved, already, thanks to pumping. I do fairly erect jelqing and a few Horse440 squeezes between each short pumping cycle. That combination does appear to be helping with erect girth. It’s all I do for girth at the present time.

Hope you have tremendous success with your pumping efforts!

Well, luvdadus, as you can read by at least one current post here, we are sometimes seen as pariahs. But never mind that and the historical reasons for it.

Pumping has its PE benefits, not the least of which is a greatly improved penile vascular system. One effect you can look forward to if your pattern is not already very healthy is an increase in the frequency and quality of nocturnal erections. And you will most likely get veinier as you progress.

Your 2.25 tube is very wide but the jelly thingies may make up for the difference. Do add a gauge. You’ll find it a big help to be able to see the pressure you are working with. Most of us here find that lower pressures are best in the long run and keep us from causing tissue damage.

A master stroke in buying Mrs. luvdadus a toy, as well. And congrats for showing her your new toy. This’ll assure you privacy without guilt when you want that and maybe add a fun element to sex together.

Read everything you can and remember when you first start out to concentrate on the feeling of pumping. It should never hurt. It should just feel real good.

Luvdadus,

I can’t wait to hear your first story of the wife getting a look at your pumped up cock!! It is pretty easy to end up at 6.5” girth while pumping and the extra size is awesome.

Good luck to you,
Hugeness

I went ahead and did a few experimental excursions into the tube. About 4 three min sessions the first days and. 2 five min sessions yesterday. This am I did 100 jelqs at 60-70% followed by 4 min in tube. Then repeated the process. That is a total of 14 min jelq (I do them slow) and 8 min of tube time. The whole process, including cleanup and putting the pump away took 30 min or less. I plan to repeat the above at noon. My total ideal weekly schedule I think would be:

two 30 min session at 6:30-7:00 am and 11:30 to 12N on Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri.

60 min session sat am (two back to back sessions as above).

Thursday, no jelq or pump - just stretches.

Sunday total rest day.

Observations and questions:

-I used too much lube first time and ended up with a nut in the tube, didn’t hurt just an annoyance.

-Is it normal to have to keep giving the bulb a squeeze every so often to maintain negative pressure?

-Since I don’t have a guage yet is it a good Idea to use the markings on the tube as a guage to whether you are loosing vacuum and need to pump again?

-Btw the tube is a monster (If I can make it work for my purposes, I’ll never need to size up) its 12”x2.375” ID

Comments and advice appreciated. Thanks.

You asked: -Is it normal to have to keep giving the bulb a squeeze every so often to maintain negative pressure?

It is for me. I usually have to give a squeeze every few seconds to maintain the pressure.

-Since I don’t have a guage yet is it a good Idea to use the markings on the tube as a guage to whether you are loosing vacuum and need to pump again?

I’d say use the markers on the tube as an estimate and maybe even make a new one with indelible ink at the highest point in the tube that you reach under what feels to you to be your maximum comfortable pressure. You can then work your pressure to keep youself at that visual level. Also, your new mark will be a good goal for you to gradually try to exceed.

And, yes, that is one monster tube you are using. It could easily double as a balls-only tube if you’re interested in that. I don’t know how you manage to maintain a seal with that sucker!

>>I don’t know how you manage to maintain a seal with that sucker!>>

I use the middle sized sleeve and am careful not to use too much lube.
I have settled into 100, 3.5 sec jelqs alt with 4 min in the tube x2, twice a day. I usually have a slightly puffy look after my sessions so I take this to mean I am doing something. I hope that the sleeve I am using doesn’t become useless before I fit into the next size up. I suspect that there will be no way to find the true manufacturers to order a replacement if needed.

luvdadus,

I think you have outlined a very responsible and sensible program for one beginning pumping for the first time. Slow and steady wins the race as they say.

I don’t use a gauge or pump or squeeze bulb anymore, instead I rely on “mouth” power. I have my 2 inch or 2.5 inch cylinder with connector, the connecting hose and other connector. I go into the cylinder as erect as possible, pump up using my mouth to create the vacuum, disconnect and sit back and relax. If I use sufficient lube and get a good initial seal, I do not have to do anything else to maintain the seal and vacuum pressure, until I choose to release the vacuum. If you are finding it necessary to squeeze the bulb frequently, it might be that you need to use more lube to create a better seal. With the large size diameter cylinder that you are using, it might be making things more difficult to maintain a longer lasting seal.
