Thinking of pumping, any advice?

Here are the most daunting questions on my mind:

1.) As an inexperienced pumper with 6" BPEL and 4.5" EG, what kind of tube would be best

IMO this is a very reputable vendor….

Welcome to lapdist.com

I’ve bought two cylinders from them; have talked with them on telephone and emailed with them.

You can find their size chart at

Cylinder Sizing : lapdist.com and this is part of their size chart relevant to your dick

Penis Outside Measurement (Circumference) Cylinder Order Size (tube inside diameter)
4 3/4 1 1/2

Given that their standard stocked tube is for individuals with larger girth than your dick, I would contact them and get their recommendations. This is their contact information…

Email - LAPump@lap-dist.com
Postal Mail -
Los Angeles Pump Distributing, llc.
4450 California Place, No 377
Long Beach, CA 90807-2229
Phone: (310) 289-7199 Fax: (310) 289-7199

Cylinder length: an 8” or 9” cylinder would serve you well…length is not as critical as cylinder, inside diameter

LAPD does make cylinders custom order.

They have a standard package, lacking vacuum gauge, and a deluxe package with vacuum gauge.

When I bought my first pumping gear in 1989 at an upscale, Chicago, leather shop, pump did not have vacuum gauge. I’ve not sustained any injuries to my dick.

As it turns out that was a fortuitous decision as I can occasionally pump “wet”. But most importantly, I use shave cream as a lube (I don’t have to clean cylinders out that frequently…do bacteria grow on a bar of soap?) Shave cream after couple days foams up and backs up into line….I just immerse line in warm water and pump water through the pump…..I couldn’t do that if my pump had a vacuum gauge.

2.) What does pumping do to the dick?

You’ve already critiqued the “ugly”dicks at

http://www.tige … .com/index.html

Please consider looking again. Tiger has introduced many men to pumping.

Here theory is discussed

with some excellent representative images as to what’s going on during the pumping process

With your girth, IMO, your main goal will be to “pack” the cylinder…again discussion by Tiger with cross-sectional drawings and accompanying images…

I posted that and you replied that “those were some of the ugliest dicks you’ve seen”. At my age of 65, I’ve seen thousands of dicks 3D…there may be some that were marginal, but by far I think majority are quite handsome…..but you did not allow for that.

3.) Does it hurt/feel good/slightly uncomfortable?

I’ve never experienced any discomfort. I’ve read posts here that some men like pumping to stretch/lengthen their dick’s suspensory ligament.

Any changes in your dick during a pump session are usually short lived. Uncut men may develop a donut, I’m cut so I develop a prominent collar behind my coronal ridge…within a couple of hours the collar has disappeared.

After pumping I wrap my dick and nuts in TheraP wrap that Peforeal has introduced us to….i’ll wear that all day.

I think if you want to gain length, it’s unusual that pumping your dick alone will accomplish that….rather adding some other exercises like Jelqing, stretching and Fowlers.

Good luck, keep us posted as goes it how..

Thanks in advance. Also, if there's something else I should be aware of, feel free to lemme know.

[B.2.) What does pumping do to the dick? Will I pull my dick out having it looking like I just nuked it in the microwave and it’s about to burst; a normal dick that is bigger than it was before pumping; like I’ve injected it with water; or something else? Basically, I don’t want to scare the shit out of myself if I pull something out of a tube that doesn’t look like the dick I put in.
