Soft when I exit pump

My erection quality is excellent when I am pumping, as a matter of fact, it is maxed out and the longer I pump for the larger it gets. I used to pump at higher pressures, but I got tired of discoloration and bruising and lack of results. And I finally figured out that if you have constant trauma, you just can’t grow and erection quality suffers.

With my current routine, I spend most of my time at 4”hg and usually go for 3 to 4 15 minute sets. To start getting really nice expansion, you have to pump for a total of at least 30 minutes, so that can be three 10 minute sets or two 15 minute sets.

I usually do pump with porn and always wrap the cylinder in a heat pad while pumping.

Once you get used to lower pressure pumping, then 4”hg feels like plenty of pressure and as far as expansion goes works just as well, actually better then high pressure. You just need patience and a little more time in the cylinder, but slow expansion over a longer period of time gives a longer lasting post pump result.

Ok I searched around for this one so if it been explained please give me a link.

I thought about how keeping a heat pad or hot towel around the tube after you pump is good.

Has anyone experimented with pumping first then to keep the temperature up on the tube, submerge into a bathtub filled with warm/hot water and continue the remainder of your session under water? Just an idea. I ask because my warm up consists of 10 minute hot bath sitting with simplified under water stretches to get ready for pumping ( and jelqing in between sets)

When I first started pumping, I was very excited about the fact I could watch porn (my guilty pleasure) and pump at the same time. So for the last 1.5 month pumping (4-5 times a week), I would try to keep my EL at 80-100% at all times. But lately I have noticed that my erection level is not that good. I can’t get super rock hard like I used to without watching porn. To complicate matters, I find I get a bit sore when I am fully hard sometimes. But it’s not painful soreness.

Even though I am getting great expansion in the tube, I am not getting a plump, heavy flaccid that many pumpers are talking about. So I am suspecting that my tunica doesn’t comply well under vacuum force. It’s like pulling a fully erect penis.

I have read a few guys who have gained from pumping with the mentality of “set it, and forget it.” They basically just turn on the pump and leave it until the timer goes off. In other words, they are doing flaccid pumping most of the time. And they have gained quite a bit from doing this.

This makes me think that I may fall into the category of working “unloaded tunica” instead of working a “loaded tunica” (at high erection level).

I am going to try a week of flaccid pumping and see if my flaccid can react more positively.

That could be simply because you are over-doing the porn? I was off porn for a couple months or so and it made a very big difference in EQ.

Hmmmm.. that is a possibility, but even my morning EQ has not been so good. At this point, I am just going to test out flaccid pumping and see if I get better results.
