New to PE

Hello everyone, I just purchased a cheap pump. I know I should invest in at least a mid-grade pump with a gauge and a better fitting pump cylinder. However, it was tough enough convincing the wife to get this one. I will get a better pump as results come. On to my question, Right now I am about 6.25 EL and 4.9 EG. I tried the pump for the first time yesterday and only pumped it to around 6.75 in length and possibly 5.25 in girth. It was uncomfortable to go any further, but I was wondering if I should pump further? How far should I be stretching it in the pump? My intentions are to go only 1/2 an inch and slowly increase as time goes by, but it seems like it wouldn’t go any further than a 1/2 inch anyway.

I would suggest you do the newbie routine. However, this thread could give some hint to you:

Pumping without a gauge

Thanks that does help some.

Just follow the instruction of ====>

Pumping without a gauge

Guys I have been pumping now for a a little over a week. My new question is how do you put on a cock ring after pumping? I must be doing it all wrong, but are you supposed to deflate when your pull your cock out of the tube?

Hi Skepticjohn - I am always soft pulling out unless I have some sort of stimulation (e.g. Naked girlfriend playing with my balls), even with a cockring. This seems to be the case for most of the guys here. The only way I’ve ever used a cockring is to put it on before entering the tube. I find it helps reduce fluid buildup. I’ve read about cockrings that slide over the cylinder before releasing the pressure, but I have yet to try it.

I appreciate your help Zap. So I should put it on before I insert myself into the tube.

It depends on what you want to use it for. Mostly, I’ve been wearing cockrings (read: elastic bands) to reduce lymph build up, as most lymph ducts are towards the outside of the dick. Also I use them to keep my pumped us size for sex. Other guys use them to keep some engorgement after pumping. In that case a band is wrapped around usually both cock and balls afterwards.

Hey zap do you think that would help for gains to use a cock ring after the pump?

Mostly guys do it to gain flaccid size. This doesn’t mean that it isn’t useful for erect gains, just that no one has tried it and reported back. There’s a lot of threads in this forum on this topic.

No worries, thanks.

I guess Ill keep posting my questions in this particular thread as everyone has been very helpful.

Right now I’m using a cheap $30 pump with a latex gasket (I guess that’s what you’d call it) 8 inches by 2.5 inches in diameter. When I pump I definitely see thickness but really no length at all in the pump. Well, maybe about a half inch, but that comes from the tube becoming “bone pressed”. I am going to order a better pump from one of the sites I saw on this forum. My current size is 6.25” EL (not bone pressed) and 4.75” EG. My goal is 7”x 5.5” anything above that would be great but I’d be fine with my goals set. To my questions, how much of a difference does the “better” pumps make? I am going to get one that is 8”x 1.75”. With the smaller tube would length be better effected?

Better quality pumps have gauges so you know exactly how much force you’re applying to your dick. Right now I pump 5 days on 2 days off, and I notice a big difference in how different pressures feel over the course of the week and from set to set over a PE session. Personally, I’ve read too many posts from guys who’ve hurt themselves without a gauge doing something that felt fine to them to go down that road. Another difference quality makes, cheap pumps break sooner. If you’re serious about gains, you will end up doing a lot of PE, and a crap pump will not stand up to long frequent sessions. That said, quality doesn’t mean expensive, there’s a lot of good advice here about finding the deals.

A narrower tube should help length gains. As you pump more and more you’ll get more in tube expansion. The 1.75” tube is only 0.75 bigger than your current girth. After a while you’ll find that you expand enough to “pack” that tube and the vacuum will be pulling on your length. Careful not to get blisters on your glans, a gauge will be useful here.

Here’s a trick for you. Next you pump, take a permanent marker and make a small mark on the tube at the tip of your glans. Watching yourself slowly pass the mark feels good. Don’t be in a hurry about it, results may take a month or more.

Try adding jelqing to your routine, it’ll help with length more than anything you do with the pump, most likely.

Thanks Zap I am planning on buying a pump from cockpump.com with a gauge. I should be able to get one in a week or two. I think it was roughly $130 plus shipping. Pricey but better than surgery! Anyway the current pump I have has cm markers up to 20 cm on it and so far I can only take myself to 17 cm. At first I was only able to get 16 cm (that was 2 weeks ago) but that’s only in the tube. No results temporary or permanent yet. My current routine is 10 min in the tube and than about 50 jelqs than back in the tube for 3-5 min 5 days a week 2 days off. It was frustrating at first because I wasn’t getting any bigger in the tube than I was in reality. I am starting to get bigger in the tube but only slightly. I’m in no rush but I hope I’m not just pissing in the wind.

Hey, piss in the wind if you want to, but it won’t make your dick any larger.

Oh, and a suggestion: if you do piss in the wind, don’t piss INTO the wind. Piss crosswind at the very least, or more optimally, WITH the wind.
