Stretched Glans

After today’s pumping sessions, I noticed that as I returned to a flaccid state, my glans looked fairly “wrinkled”. I had seen this before, but decided to inspect it a bit closer this time. With no apparent injuries, I thought to myself, “what can cause this?”. That’s when it occurred to me. I had noticed this on another occasion, at that occasion was a scene with Shane Diesel. I remember thinking as I watched the scene, why does his member look so beat up. Then I remembered a thread that I read over at LPSG that discussed how he pumped frequently which is how he ended up with such huge girth. This all lead to my question.

Does the tissue of the glans stretch during pumping, leading to the wrinkles when returning back to flaccid? Does excessive pumping, without adequate rest for restoration, lead to permanent scarring on the glans?

This happens to me if I pump for long sessions over 7hg. Ex: If do variable pumping (2hg 50sec, 7hg) for anything over 30min total, the glands will look dry and wrinkled. If I keep the HG under 7hg in these sessions, regardless of the session time, it won’t do that. I also run the risk of blistering. I usually only do that when I need to pump but don’t have more than 30-45 to get a session in. Any higher HG will end up getting too much edema in that short time and the gains will feel a lot less useful and mess with EQ.

Hope that helps.

Oh! I also use organic nipple cream, yes.. Nipple cream, when it does this. REALLY really really helps with keeping it my penis and glands feeling okay after getting beat up like that.

Edit: And No to Injury or Scarring. And Yes to expansion - tons of it.

By reading a lot of comments, looks like higher pressure are to avoid if not, sometimes, to hit some length goals.. While the holy grail looks lower pressure, and big amount of time. No sides, good Piis and gains.

Keep the vacuum level at no more than 5hg. See how that works.

I really need to take this sentiment to heart when I resume pumping in mid Spring.

Thanks for the responses. You guys are real vets because although I failed to mention going over 5hg, you knew. Advice taken.

However, sometimes, especially with heat, I don’t feel a “pull” until I get up to 7hg. My routine is 10 minutes @ 3hg, then 10 minutes at 5hg, then 10 minutes at 5hg-7hg.

When I pump to the desired pressure, the pressure slowly releases automatically to 0 and I pump back to the range. Shouldn’t the pressure stay at 3hg or whatever I pump it to?

If your vac level is not holding steady you have a leak somewhere in the pumping system. Pubic hair and dry skin are common sources.

My routine is -5inHg, but if I am having some leaking going on I’ll increase vac level to 8 or 10, hold it there a few seconds, then go back to 5. This works to get a good seal at the base of the tube.

Note that as your penis increases size in the tube the vac level will decrease. For you motor heads it’s building compression (pressure) as the piston moves up the cylinder. As pressure increases the vac level decreases. Once your size has stabilized then the vac level should also.

If still leaking, then check the cylinder-hose connection and hose-pump connection. Take the hose off the pump, place your finger on the pump hose fitting and give it a few pumps. The vac level ahould hold steady, if not, the pump is leaking. Some can be rebuilt, others are disposable.

This is an excellent topic. I’ve abused my member over the years yet found that the glans has held up, surprisingly. For it to spend XX minutes as a giant, glowing-red apple-sized thing, then subside to its former self, without scars, is a testament to the resilience of the human body. But the flip-side is the fragility of flesh. I always have respect for injury. We’re all walking a thin line in this business of PE.

Smart man!

@32Quarters - Thank you. That makes sense and could be the issue as I’ve been lazy the past couple of weeks. I need to shave.

@Dingone - I’m not familiar with that one.

@DL - That’s good to know. I was concerned about loosing sensitivity. Being uncut, my glans have been well protected over the years and I enjoy the intensity of the sensations. I have heard that over time, circumcised men lose a lot of sensitivity in the glans which can contribute to ED and reduced enjoyment. It’d be pointless to have all of my new gains, yet not be able to enjoy them to the fullest.
