Penile Flexibility and Pumping

I was wondering if I might ask those who’ve had more experience with the matter than myself a pumping-newbie question that I hope hasn’t been asked too much already. I have seen the discussions on flaccid (originally) vs. erect pumping and it seems to me that the consensus is that it is preferable to enter the tube erect, and secondly that expansion is, of course, the primary goal.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar to what I’m seeing in my beginning stages of pumping. If I enter the tube erect and maintain and erection during my time in the tube, I experience far less expansion (above the point of a normal erection) than if I enter soft and pump. That is, entering the tube soft will produce a larger looking penis under vacuum than entering and staying hard. My normal erections have always been extremely hard and inflexible and I’m thinking this density might be what resists vacuum.

Is this typical? If not, has anyone experienced something similar and have any suggestions? Does pumping erect with a very stubborn penis risk increasing the odds that one might experience decreased firmness of the unpumped-unit over the long haul? Has anyone noted any differences in gains between those who tend to have more flexible erections and those who don’t. I very much follow in avocet8’s path in regards to this quote in Vacuum Pumping 101:

I apologize if I could have found my answers in existing threads. I do my best to check before posting. Many thanks for any comments.

Are you sure that the pump you get from entering the tube flaccid is more than entering the tube erect? if so, more power to you and do whatever works for you man.

Umbram - That is typically not seen as the best way. However, I have also noticed at times that maybe I get a better pump as well when going in soft. If you are doing it this way, make sure you pump up really slow until you get to your workout pressure. You don’t want to damage your vascular system in your penis.

How long have you been pumping? Any gains?
