Pumping killed my erection quality

Hey fellow pumpers — New to this wing of the forums.
I’m 18

I bought the tools to make myself a pump about 7days ago, assembled, and used it. (Mityvac / 2” Diameter tubing)
It was great, I felt like it was doing so much more than clamping in the effect that I really noticed the engorgement before and after..

The first day I pumped on and off for around 30 minutes. I delved into a little under the 10 Hg range and everything seemed alright.
I came out of the tube that first day temporarily a little discolored, and remembered this because I have such a high tolerance for discoloration it rarely occurs.. Anyways, the discoloration of course went away — but it made me feel like it was working.
The 2nd day I pumped on and off for probably close to 60 minutes. I hit 15 Hg for a short period of time (30 seconds max), but I normally went from 5-10Hg and down at about 30 second intervals (My pump leaks a little bit very slowly and this makes it hard to stay at one pressure as well).
I did this a lot, from sitting on the couch to water pumping in the bath.. There’s nothing like the feeling of being full inside the pump.
I repeated this for a third day. I never got the donut effect, I never got much of anything except - mind you - the biggest flaccid hang I’ve ever had and it lasted days.

But here’s where it got bad. That night, my girl came over and when it came time to have sex.. Nothing..
There was no way in hell I could get it up.
My dick was limp as a slug.

The next night rolls along and the same thing happens. I can get it up for maybe 30 seconds but It’s a weak erection and it deflates in a second.
By this time I’m pretty scared. My morning wood is non-existent. Even trying to get an erection myself I noticed it was much weaker than normal and as soon as I stopped ‘trying’ it would sink.

The third night I didn’t even try to have sex or anything close to. My dick wasn’t gonna work. It could get up on occasion but I knew after the first couple times that my erections didn’t last.. It was terrible. I came on here looking to read about ED and got extremely discouraged. I was going to write this post yesterday but didn’t have time.

But late last night I noticed an erection like I used to get. Hard as a rock after 3-4 days of limp meat. And I fucked the shit out of my girl twice. I got a morning wood that hit me in the face and everything is good now. I just want to warn people that pumping at high pressure, or pumping too much (especially if your new) can have these consequences. I believe my dick was still damaged from pumping so hard and so much that it needed to repair, and would not get up.

Thats crazy man… I was thinking about buying a pump myself but now im hesitant :|

Luckily the solution to your problem is easy. So what is your problem? It’s the fact that you went overboard by about 2000 percent in both time and pressure.

The easiest way to get you back on track is to refer you to Avocet’s Pumping 101 Thread at the top of the Pumpers Forum.

With all of the cautions many of us have given in other pumper threads, I’m still surprised that newbies will still try extreme pressures and then be surprised at the consequences. The good news is that no permanent damage has been done. Just like one wouldn’t hang 50 lbs off their dick as a newbie, the same is true for not using extreme vacuum pressures for long amounts of time when first pumping. Pumping is great and works, but moderation over time applies here.

Chief dante, I still recommend pumping for anyone. But for newbies - (as I am) slow and easy at first, sometimes physical indicators might not be accurate. And as Gprent suggested, the thread titled pumping 101 is a good start for where to set your limits.

Gprent, I skimmed the thread before I bought the materials for my pump, and once I made my pump I didn’t realize how high 15 Hg was. I have since read “Pumping 101” thoroughly and since my encounter with the ever-limp dick I am on more on track than ever :) .

Fallacy,

The more I think about it , the title of your thread should be “Irresponsible Pumping killed my erection quality”. Well, tomorrow’s another day to pump correctly. Good luck, if you still decide to be a pumper.

Agree 100% with gprent. Hitting 15in/hg is very high. If your new to pumping start with very low pressure, it might just be the best way to gain, with no bad side effects. I’m following the pumping 101 thread and having nice results. Erections are hard enough to pick my wife up with them, well almost.

Take it easy Fallacy.

Peforeal, I understand that there have been a lot of cautions in other threads.. But I suppose looking at it from a newbie standpoint, it is very relative to the situation. A warning here and there of “Don’t use too much pressure” or “Don’t pump too long.” doesn’t sink in very distinctively. Especially when you see your dick in the tube and it’s getting huge and it feels awesome, with all the time you’ve spent not gaining you think maybe you’ve found the holy grail.
Pumping can be detrimental without Hurting. Hanging is more easily felt than pumping, and compells you to stop. I didn’t skim this forum for more than a week before I started pumping(obviously hurt me in the end), although— I have been a member here for over a year, with all the talk on the main forums and such I would have to say that the warnings and cautions aren’t as high as you (might) think.

Nevertheless, that’s why I made this thread.

By the way, I’m not bashing pumping or telling people not to pump at all.
This was a first hand account of my irresponsibility to document for the newbies out there.

I had this post saved and was going to post it without the final part where I actually got my erection quality back.. But I waited a day and found some good personal news to input.

Sorry if you guys think I’m being hostile towards pumping, I’m not — I will continue in moderation.

Happy gaining.

Hi Fallacy,

I don’t think you’re being hostile, and it’s great that you’ve posted about the temporary negative outcomes you had from overdoing your pumping routine. The good news is that you’re a young man of 18 and with responsible pumping you have the opportunity to effect some great longterm girth gains along with your already good length. Let the pumping journey continue…

The exact thing happened to my penis and I, except it was because I went overboard on the clamping.

Yeah, some serious over-training. I have had some very subtle over-training effects like maybe a slightly weaker erection or less morning wood but this lasted three days of absolutely no chance of having sex. Some scary stuff.

I might go buy myself a pump tonight from a sex shop. Are those quality pumps any good or did you guys order em off the net?

So you read all of the shit about how to make a pump, but missed the very first sticky at the top of this forum?? CRAZY

ChiefDante,

Don’t waste your money on cheap cylinders from the sex shop with their built in squeeze pumps. Invest in a quality cylinder and pump gauge from the internet.
