Seriously thinking about pumping, worried about dangers....

Hey Guys

I really want to start pumping, but the so called dangers (e.g ruptured blood vessels etc etc…) has got me worried. Has anyone ever gained permenant growth from pumping? Is there a beginners guide to pumping here, cause it really will help.

Hi goldwave84,

The thread at the top of the pumping section is a good place to start.

Vacuum Pumping 101

gold,

It doesn’t matter what form of PE you choose, if you go overboard, it is possible to hurt yourself. With any form of PE, you first have to learn the proper way to do it, and then have the patience to slowly build up your endurance to this new and rigorous form of exercise. There is always the tendency to want to rush things or get the mindset that more is better or harder is better, but this is not the case. The best way to make gains is to do it right and to stay in control. This applies to jelqing, stretching, hanging and pumping and all of the other forms of PE available out there.

So read the Pumping 101 thread, do it right, start slow, have patience, and stay in control. You will be rewarded with fantastic results.

Just go at low levels to start, just as it states in Pumping 101. I fret you will do the same thing as me, and many others, as a beginner, you’ll see your unit expanding so nicely in the tube, and keep upping the pressure, then have a mangled doughnut after.

Gprent and Avocet (and others in the Pumpers forum) give great advice, heed what they say, and you’ll do great.

I agree with gprent101. As long as you are careful and listen to your body, there is no reason why you should be putting yourself at risk. I have found that less vacuum for a longer time is more effective than high vacuum for short periods, anyway. Go slow, both in terms of vacuum and length of time, and build up as you need/want/are able. I have pumped, off and on (but with absolutely no consistency, and therefore no lasting results) for about 5 years. It has never been scary for me, and I have never suffered more than a couple of small red spots of the same sort you might get from jelqing. Good luck!

Pumping is safer then manual PE IMO.

Thanks guys,

I ahve read the posts and I think now I need to get a pump. Anyone recommend me a good site?

Here’s just one of several threads that discuss the relative merits of pumps.

Nearly everybody agrees that the cheap and flimsy ones usually sold at adult stores are not worth buying.

This deluxe pump from lapdist is the one that I and a lot of other guys use. If you want help with choosing the right size cylinder, just give me your erect length and girth.

Low and slow is the only way to go. If you go to high pressure wise you can do damage.You do get a change in the color of the skin but it fades in a few hours. You also get a fluid build up around the head that also goes away. Stay low and slow remember, and enjoy. Been pumping for about 9 years and do have some permanent change that is noticeable to the ladies.

Hey onedragon,

How many inches have you gained?

One more thing, any pics around here, so I can see what might happen?

What, are you helpless? Why don’t you go to Members Pics and look around? Here is just one:

The Injuries/Treatments Forum has over 2300 posts covering potential problems with all forms of PE. Read there some.

Spend less time looking at things that can go wrong and more time on how to avoid that happening in the first place.
