Return to Pumping

I became an avid pumper since 2004 but after 2007, due to disease (malignant depression), stayed away from PE. I combined it with jelqing. I devoted about the same amount of time each.

After thorough warm up, I usually did up to 6 rounds of no more than 20 minutes in the tube, typically 12 min. (always with a heat pad), followed by light jelqing massage for some 5 min., daily. Even using bands and thick tight condoms, I developed a donut, maybe because I progressed to a 2.5” tube at the end of the sessions (love fucking my wife right afterwards, which did away with the fluid build up).

Right now I’m not doing any PE, but am thinking to return to pumping almost exclusively (only add the alternate jelq massage in between sets). I just love pumping and ladies enjoy very much the results.

Does any one report gains with kind of routine?

Did your gains with the pump stay permanent after so much years without pumping ?

Anything over 20 minutes in the tube is way too much.

Yes, but I was a heavy jelqer too. I usually jelqed for at least an hour before pumping and then, jelqed lightly 5 minutes between sets. However, I’m a hard gainer and my gains were rather discreet: about .5” in length (.25” more when pumped) and virtually nothing in girth, which I desired very much to increased and pumping is believed to excel on.

So you can’t take a break and stay in the tube?

You must release the vacuum -at the most- after 20 minutes. Better if your don’t go over 15. I typically stayed only 12 per set. Bear in mind that after being stale for a while, blood begins to clot. You don’t want your CCs, CS, arteries and veins full of clots that would eventually render you impotent.

Spock, I forgot: I also did quite a bit of stretching.

Routine:

1) Warm up with a heat pad: 10 minutes.

2) Stretching 30 minutes.

3) Jelq: 1 hour.

4) Pumping: 4-6 sets of 12-15 minutes. Rarely, 20 minutes. 5 minutes of light jelqing between sets.

5 days on, 2 days off.

Note: Only once in 3,5 years I got distracted and stayed in the tube over 20 minutes, maybe 30. No consequences.

What pressure do you pump at? I have a 1.75 inch wide cylinder, but I am thinking of moving up to a 2 inch. I have a thin penis (4.5” MSEG), but I think, due to my thicker base, the cylinder seems to constrict the base of my penis (the cylinder is flared, so the opening is actually less than 1.75 inches wide by a bit). It’s comfortable, but I feel like the vacuum could do much more if the base of the cylinder were wider. What is your MSEG as well as your base girth? What kind of cylinder do you use — flared?

Other than possibly being uncomfortable and the unfortunate event that the balls get sucked up into the cylinder, is there any difference (effectiveness-wise) in a wider cylinder versus thinner cylinder?

Thanks,

HI jellogecko,

>What pressure do you pump at?<

Never exceeded 5 in/Hg.

I think you should keep using the 1.75” tube until you get to 5” or more. Using too wide a tube for your girth will cause more undesirable fluid build up (it’s my experience) which would hinder real benefits. After about a year pumping, I did got into staging: after 4-5 sets in the 2” tube, I progressed to a 2.5” tube. Besides the point that my balls got sucked in (not a pleasurable experience), fluid build up was heavy. However, I liked to do it because my dick reached almost 8” in length by 6.3” and usually had sex with my lady afterwards, which we both enjoyed very much, plus, intercourse drained the lymph under the skin and the donut. I even experimented many times fucking with her for 5 minutes between sets which proved excellent strategy to avoid the donut effect and lymph accumulation. :D

My base and MSEG are about the same: 5.5”, just bellow the corona is about 5.2”. What is your base EG?

Your welcome and thanks to you.

What pump would you recommend for a newbie pumper like me Hog? I’m looking to add to my personal PE arsenal and I’m looking for a decent, long lasting pump.

My friend, I live in a Third World Country. I made my own pump with a fish tank vacuum cleaner tube (search for that kind set up in the forum, I think I posted how I did it). You don’t need any fancy equipment or pump, I even suck the air out with my mouth. Several pumpers in the forum do that, even experts.

What is of paramount importance is that you select the right size of tube and follow the techniques described in “Pumping 101” by Avocet, who, BTW, is a true expert and an extremely nice person you can ask for advice.

You don’t even need a pressure gage to pump. You can insert your erection kegeling until you’re 100% in the tube, and mark off where you end with a rubber band around the pump. Hitting this mark will be around 3-4”hg exactly the right amount you need for a session. Anything 1/4” above or below this will be about + or - 1”hg.

Thanks for the tips. :) My base girth is just over 5”. I wish my penis didn’t taper down as much (actually, I wish I had a fat head), but I have a mild case of soft glans. It sucks.

I do the same thing (sucking the air out with my mouth) when I’m water pumping. I have a Bathmate, but I don’t find it as comfortable or effective as just using a regular cylinder. I have a Vacutech; I like it a lot, and it’s comfortable, but getting something less expensive will probably be the same. I’ve probably only used my Bathmate a handful of times, sigh, wasted money.

Speaking of using our mouths to create the vacuum, is there a device/piece that I can attach to my cylinder (or hose) so that I do not have to cover the hose after sucking out? To create the vacuum, I have the cylinder and hose connected via male/female couplers, but it is normally connected to a hand pump, which can keep the pressure. However, if I am using my mouth, there is nothing to prevent the air from leaving the cylinder unless I plug the hose. I know I can just disconnect the hose once I find a good pressure, but I’d still like a more convenient option.

What I’m thinking of is some one-way valve or something. Any ideas?

I bought a valve for natural gas tubing. It works fine. I don’t what is available where you are.

Please do a search in the forum about the home made set ups.

I prefer to use a gauge. I got an old one for measuring the vacuum in car engines cylinders from a mechanic friend.
