Staying Hard in the tube

I’ve searched for this already, but wanted some more recent views (Previous post on this was 2004)

Anyway, I’ve been pumping for about 6 weeks now, and have had a girth gain of .15, (5.10-5.25 mid) and am extremely pleased.

I’ve been following the 101 guideline, and am experiencing no problems at all.

Every time I pump, I watch some porn to keep myself hard.However, i’m heading off for a month away from home soon, and won’t be able to watch porn to keep hard.It’ll have to be sneaky trips to the bathroom instead.

So, as I wont be able to watch porn in the month away, for the previous week i’ve been pumping and not watching porn to observe the difference.

To be honest, without the porn watching I don’t know if i’m hard or not in the tube, it’s difficult to tell.It certainly feels softer.When I feel hard(with porn) , I measure about 7.25 length in the tube, and when it doesn’t I measure a shade under 7.

When I withdraw from the tube (In either case), it looks about the same.

Basically, what i’m wondering, is it still possible to keep up these girth gains (my main concern, length can wait), by not having that hard feeling in the tube.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

A basic tennant of pumping is that if you look hard in the tube, you are hard. That 0.25 difference you sometimes measure while under vacuum isn’t what will determine whether you get long-term gains. Repetition is.

And, a lot of pumpers deflate quickly once the vacuum is released. So go ahead and pump without porn. This time will give you another month of PE under your belt and maybe add to the girth gains you’ve begun to experience.

Karmaz, a lot of us use generic viagra—just about 1/4 of a 100mg pill will keep you hard for a while—Steve

PS—Avocet 8—I miss some of you wisdom on many these later post, but I understand that some of them just need research by the poster.

Thanks. Sometimes we mods and vets back off a bit and let others offer their own wisdom. But we’re always watching to make sure that advice seems sound.

Personally, I think young guys should not use erectile drugs unless they need them to have sex.
