Once you've built up to it, is 30 mins nonstop pumped OK?

I’ve never once come out of the tube erect. Even on generic Cialis, its extremely hard going in, but after just 5 minutes of pumping, it comes out 60% at best, like a really hard full flaccid that almost stands up on its own a little bit. No worries if you’re not hard coming out! But it seems to help being really hard going in. I have always had less red spots and edema the harder I am going into the tube and staying under 5hg.

I agree that you don’t have to be erect going in, and stay erect while pumping. However I do notice a difference if I’m staying stimulated throughout pumping by watching porn, versus if I’m doing work or watching TV. Staying stimulated and more erect while pumping always results in better pumping sessions where there’s less edema and a greater pump with the same relative pressure.

Agree with that. But its pretty complicated for me to stay erect while pumping even with porn since my brain is dark I can probably watch porn with popcorn and wont get erect as long I’m not touching him.

Perhaps I’m weird but I find I get the most expansion by entering erect and then going into a state of relaxation where I’m focusing on each breath almost like meditating. I tug on the tube every few seconds like a wade fisher does but I don’t kegel, milk or any of the common practices while in the tube.

Guys, thanks for the great knowledge drop. I’m definitely going to reread this thread a few times and adjust my routine accordingly.

Me, I usually start out semi hard, but maybe I’ll switch to going in erect and see what results I get. But I usually do the whole 30 minutes at maximum size, though not really “erect “ … is that common?

100%. It’s not necessary nor will most be able to keep an erection in the tube for anything more than a few minutes. Perhaps some can whilst watching porn but even then after a while one may grow insensitive to that as well.

The goal is to finish your session pain and injury free with positive PI’s following.

As a followup, I was reading through this thread… (originally posted in 2004, but recently replied to and bumped up)

https://thunders.place/penis-pumps/pumping-to-treat-ed.html

>Concentrate instead on forcing newly oxygenated blood into the penis, holding it there for a short time at moderate vacuum pressure – just minutes – then release the pressure allowing the blood to drain out before you pump up again and bring in yet another supply of newly-oxygenated blood. Instead of 2 hours or 2.5 hrs of nocturnal erections which you aren’t having anyway because of ED, I’d like to point out, you do the same work with 4 or 5 shorter erections, each lasting as little as 5 or 6 minutes.

After reading that I need to ask again… is it better to just keep a continuous pump for a long time… or hold a pump for about 5-10 mins, then release the pressure “allowing the blood to drain out” and then pump it up again?

Or is the “allowing the blood to drain out” not really accurate, because maybe instead the blood is still circulating while the penis is pumped up? (meaning it’s not neccessary to do a pressure release and repump like that?)

The thread for ED is discussing how pumping can help those with ED and discusses getting fresh blood circulating through the penis.

Pumping for growth is different than pumping for ED and which are both different than all day pumping to maximize edema buildup in the penis.

The answers you received are accurate for a question on pumping for growth.

Hey I don’t know if it’s gonna help you but I recently started pumping with some vibrations and it helps keeping it super hard for me. Check out my last post in my progress thread to get more info.

All the best!

WRT 32quarters post, is it a myth or reality that disconnecting occasionally from the pump (and allowing it to deflate then re-rise in the pump) will bring “fresh blood” ?

Isn’t the blood *already* circulating even when the penis is at max size inside the pump? Or does disconnecting occasionally bring a substantially larger turnover of blood? Anyone know?

It’s a “reality”.
Pump will never close totally the blood flow but It will slow down it so going down to less than 1hg and milk/shake the tube will refresh everything faster.

Ok, that makes sense.

So if going more for an ED thing with intermittent periods (variable pumping?) what would anyone suggest … how often every minutes should one release all the pressure (or go to 1hg) … do some “shakes/massage” to get some blood turnover…. then pump back up? 5 mins? 10mins?

(Assuming the total length of the session is at least 30-60 mins)

The other version.

Vacuum Pumping when you have ED; the short version, according to Avocet8

RE: the blood pooling. I’ve found it helps to not use the silicone comfort ring or whatever it’s called.

Do 5~10 min and stop for 1 min. You do need to test it.
