Theory on how pumping produces length gains?

Does anyone have a theory?

I know that pumping is more conducive to girths gains (temporary & permanent) but how can pumping produce length gains, specifically temporary length gains?

Over time I can see that the pump, acting as a stretcher, could stretch the ligs or tunica. But with temporary lymph build-up, I just can’t see how temporary length gains could be had unless they are the product of lymph build-up at the tip of the glans.

If any experienced pumpers have a theory, I would definitely be interested to know.

Background:

1) I have tried pumping before. Didn’t stick with it, but I did get donuts, so I am familiar with lymph build-up.

2) I now have a Vac Hanger & I think that I am collecting lymph in the upper shaft and glans.

The lymph build-up I think I have is not visible to the eye. But my shaft, glans and erections seem to have a different quality to them, which I attribute to the vacuum properties of the Vac Hanger.

Thing is, it seems slightly more difficult to get erect, but once I am, I seem to remain very hard in a way that I can’t remember since I was a teen. I seem to hover near my maximum erect level more easily once I am erect.

24 hrs after I last used the Vac hanger (which was about 1pm, 12/17), I did notice what seemed like a slightly visibly larger glans. But just today (I haven’t used the Vac hanger since 12/17) I kept squeezing the glans to see how far above the bony tips of the CC’s the glans was expanding, and I have to say not very much. It was about equal to normal - maybe less!

Yet, I hovered at, or near, my maximum erection more easily? Am I onto something and there is a little lymph build-up going on here?

And if so, what is the theory on how lymph can temporarily enhance length, outside of lymph collection at the tip of the glans?

- Keeping the tunica as expanded as possible in the direction of length?

or

- Because of a bit of lymph, maximum erections are a little easier because with a little help from lymph it is easier to become 100% (or near) erect?

Anyone, feel free to toss something out there that might better help me understand what might be going on, here.

Pumping used to be my primary PE method, and I got more permanent length gains than girth gains from it.

My theory is simple: it is just another way of “tugging” on your dick, which done hour after hour stretches ligs and pulls the “inner penis” out, just like manual stretching or hanging.

Lymph build up is temporary. As soon as the forces that caused lymph migration are removed, the body with disperse the excess lymph.

The suction from the hanger will act as a pump for that area and can cause some expansion, and could possibly enlarge that area subject to the vacuum.

The slight more difficulty in achieving an erection is probably due to slight overtraining.

The better erections usually result from any PE that increases the effectiveness of circulation, which the vacuum part of it is probably dialating blood vessels.

Any PE which dilates blood vessels (pumping, jelquing, clamping) if not overdone to the point of overtraining seems to result in improved erectile quality.

Thanks, commander. That is what I thought about the potential in the long term.

Also, I guess it is an individual thing with pumping - PE in general, but, maybe, pumping specifically - and the tendency to produce length gains, especially permanently.

So after 4 days would you think there is any lymph left in the tunica (underneath in the CC’s)?

Possibly, though I only use 1lb for 5 minutes, before jelqing for 110 strokes. So I am not completely sure about over-training, as I am not sure how I would do much less and still be training. Though, I do take extra days off when necessary, as when I started with 2lbs (I needed the extra days).

I still take extra days sometimes, now. Recently it has just been schedule related and trying to figure where I am independent of any possible lymph build-up.

Maybe the slight difficulty with erections is related to becoming accustomed to the pump aspect of the V hanger?

No way!

If you lay off for a few days to a week and difficulty goes away completely…its overtraining.

Look, some of us have a very low tolerance to stress…thats why the PIs can really help you determine what is the right amount for you.

The good news is low tolerance for stress usually means it takes less to grow.

For example, just a few minutes at 5 in hg puts me into overtraining, but I can clamp (moderate pressure) for 15 minutes easily and NOT overtrain.

You have to find the right force/time for you, and you will find some methods work better for you than others.

Some guys are lucky, they start PE and the gains come. Others have to be a lot more precise to get the gains. None of it has come easy for me.
