Starting using a pump for the first time...

Hi, guys!

For the first time I´m thinking about trying to use pumps for PE. Until today I only made manual exercices. In spite of being a bit slacker, and to stoped for several times in the past 3 years, I´ve been able to gain about 0.55” of EL and about 0.13” of EG (overall).

So, I gave a rest for a month.

I´m thinking about restarting PE, but this time using Bathmate and to make a routine only for using it.

What do you think, guys?

Thanks!

I attribute pumpnig to most of my 1/2” gain in girth. However, I have only used a traditional air pump system. I decided that it would be far more flexible as to when and where i could use it. I pump a lot in bed where I would not want to use a Bathmate. If you only intend to pump when you are near a water supply such as a shower or tub, than a Bathmate could be your best choice.

I am not so sure pumping is that effective as a stand alone routine. Most pumpers feel that pumping works best as a supplement to other techniques.

The big problem with a bathmate for a newbie pumper is that it doesn’t have a gauge and I can almost guarantee you are going to use too much pressure that will result in red spots and discoloration.

For a newbie pumper starting out, I would highly recommend an air system with a gauge similar to the deluxe package offered by lapdist. Also check out penisdepot at this site:

Do most pumpers really feel that, dt?

My guess - and it’s only a guess - is that there are a lot of pumpers for who pumping is their only form of PE, if only because they aren’t members of Thunder’s, and thus don’t know what the full range of PE options are.

I would further guess that there are many pumpers for who pumping is their sole form of PE, or if not their sole form, their primary form. But again, that’s just my guess.

I highly recommend water pumping and jelqing in a combination that works for you. I mostly jelq 150-250, 3 second jelqs throughout the day to cement the plump I get from pumping. I feel that the warm water also facilitates heating which is key to good expansion.

My statement regarding “most” pumpers should be restated as “many pumpers posting on PE forums”. And, I should have mentioned that my statement was also a guess based on reading many threads on PE forums.

Thanks for the clarification, dt. Your original statement seemed to imply a consensus in the pumping community that I don’t believe exists.

Lampwick, since we were discussing the issue on a PE forum and, in particular as it relates to PE routines, I assumed, apparently incorrectly, that it wasn’t necessary to exclude non PE pumpers’ opinions from my assessment of posts offered by pumpers on PE forums.

Nope, you’re not incorrect, and I respect your assessment of posts offered by pumpers on PE forums.

I have found that in the non PE pumpers community, it seems that non PE pumpers are not looking for permanent growth but are more interested in the thrill of just seeing how big they can get their units - shaft, balls, or both. From the galleries I’ve seen, must seem to be already large and just want to temporarily make it larger. The following is a quote from Bagman over at PumpToys, an avid pumper and spokesman:

“It is common for the penis to remain longer and fatter after a session. You have filled it with blood and lymphatic fluids. Your penis will have a “spongy” feeling. In the beginning of your pumping experience this flaccid increase does not last very long at all, but it’s fun while it’s there. Slowly, over weeks, you will find that you are hanging longer and heavier for hours, then all day, then for a couple of days between pump sessions. You are beginning to see permanent gains. Unlike some, I do not believe that pumping gives fully permanent gains. But a minimal maintenance schedule of pumping 3 or 4 times a month will let you keep what you’ve worked for. That, to me, is permanent enough.”

This statement reinforced my conclusione that PE members often advocate pumping as a supplement to other PE routines and techniques.

That wasn’t what you said to start, though, which was “Most pumpers feel that pumping works best as a supplement to other techniques.”

Sure, PE members often advocate pumping as a supplement. And sure, some pumpers pursue pumping with goals other than PE in mind. I’d even agree that many pumpers (pursuing PE) use it as a supplement to other techniques.

Just not most, which as I said before, implies a consensus in the pumping community that I don’t believe exists.

It would be interesting to know how many pumpers in search of PE use pumping as their sole form of PE, if only because they haven’t been on a site like this one and don’t know the range of other techniques.

What size cylinder did you choose?

Thanks for answering, guys!

Sorry, what cylinder size I chose???

Well, I haven´t bought it yet, and, honestly, I think there´s only one cylinder size.

By the way, what´s the size of Bathmate cylinder? 9x6?

I thought we had put this issue behind us when I amended my wording to read “many pumpers posting on PE forums”. I also used the words “Many PE pumpers advocate…” in my last post. How long are you going to beat a dead horse?

And to change the subject, I too would be interested in learning how many pumpers are seeking to enhance their penises without the knowledge of other and perhaps more effective techniques available on Thunders. I know I became aware of pumping several months before Thunders opened up a window to enroll new members. I am sure there are many who are not aware of PE forums and end up getting discouraged when they do not see any or only minor gains after months of pumping.

Gee, dt, I thought I had left it behind when I said back in post #9 that "I respect your assessment of posts offered by pumpers on PE forums." I thought I’d leave it at that.

Your post following that quoting Bagman at PumpToys which "reinforced [your] conclusione that PE members often advocate pumping as a supplement to other PE routines and techniques" looked like you were trying to continue the issue.

We now return the thread to poor fabio, who just wants to know more about pumping, maybe with a Bathmate.

fabio, this is from http://www.bath mate.ca/erectil … hmate-pump.php:

"Max Internal Dimensions - dia(58mm) x 200mm", which translates roughly to 2.3 inches in diameter (7.2 inches circumference) x 7.9 inches in length.

That sounds about right. I have one, and measured it myself, and it’s longer than 7.9 inches, but that includes the flexible ‘accordion’ portion at the end.

I would agree with gprent in his post, early on in this thread: gprent - Starting using a pump for the first time… . I like my Bathmate, but it’s probably not the best choice for a first pump and cylinder.
