Replace edging with low pressure pumping?

My theory about edging is you need to keep an erect or at least semi-erect state after your training so you heal in a bigger state. If I’m right, pumping seems like it would serve the same purpose better. Since I presently edge for 40 minutes, I was thinking of maybe replacing it with 40 minutes of 3 HG pumping.

Have you tried it before? If so, did you see any improvement by switching from edging to pumping?

I don’t know if your idea will work, but I do know that as a beginner pumper you can’t go directly to a 40 minute routine. You should start out at 10 minutes and over a week or two slowly build your way up to 30 minutes and then evaluate from there if going to 40 minutes is even necessary.

Since I’m used to intense training, I figured out I would start with two ten minutes sessions. Seeing no real discomfort, I also do my usual training after. There doesn’t seem to be any negative effect, I just feel more stretched a few hours after.

But you think it would be better to have one shorter session and increase its length rather than do many 10 minutes sessions for conditioning? So I should pass from two 10 minutes sessions to maybe one of 15 minutes and increase by 1 or 2 minutes everyday until I reach 30 minutes?

For me, the best results by far come from continuous sessions with no breaks, so your second option.

I agree. If I pump for less than 30 minutes straight through, the result is not anywhere near as impressive.

So do you guys only pump or do you do it as part of a routine?

I pump, jelq and edge. That’s my routine.
