Vacuum Pumping 101

Just pumped for the first time today. I am amazed at the result. It was like one long power jelq, that lasted 10 mins. I thought I’d take it easy and follow Avocets routine for beginers, Even at a pressure of 4hg I was seeing small red dots appearing.

Freaking awesome and it’s so easy, no aching hands afterward. Very very pleased, I think this is the key to getting the girth I’m looking for. Can’t wait to see the results of a few months of pumping!!!

I’ve never seen my cock so big for so long…

Hey guys, I just recently purchased a pump. I’m pumped about it, no pun intended. I’m on day 4 and I am already getting results. I have a longer, thicker flaccid hang during the day. All from 15 min pump sessions a day at between 7-5 inHg. The DVD it came with recommends pumping between 4-6 inHg but I have no spotting or bruises or skin irritations at all. This is my first time pumping so I am guessing my penis is well conditioned to take on a little more pressure. I have a 2inx10in cylinder. I measure almost 8in in BPEL but in my tube I measure 7 11/16”. I was just wondering what measurement should I go by? The cylinder itself gets pressed right into your pubic bone, so it acts as a BP measurement does it not?

Who knows, all this time I could have been measuring incorrectly. Also, since my girth is around 5.5 and length around 8, would I expect to see more of a length gain in a 2inx10in cylinder?

Yes, pumping puts jelquing to shame in terms of work and energy. But I still jelq for several minutes afterward to get the blood flowing and to even everything out. Happy pumping!

I read the forums everyday, but I have been a lurker for a long time. I purchased the LAPdist pump about 3 months ago, and I have seen some amazing gains. I follow avocets routine and am currently doing 3 20 min pump sessions a day followed by 5 min of manual stretching, 5 min of jelqing, and a warming period with a rice sock. In the 3 months I have been pumping, I have gone from 5.5 BPEL to 6 BPEL and 5 girth to 5.5 girth. I also use the Ace elbow strap for a couple hours a day. This site has been a god send for me and I hope pumping will further my goals of reaching 8x6.

big mac, or anybody else who can answer this question. I dont understand water pumping, can you do this with any pump? Do I just put warm water in the tube, insert, and start pumping like normal? I dont get what you mean by you expel some of the water while you pump, how do you do that? and I might be missing something but what do you mean when you say you pull the cylinder to different directions and do 20 pc’s? what is a pc?

BPEL is BPEL, and length in the tube is length in the tube. My maximum length in the tube is also shorter than my BPEL or my BPFSL, and I attribute that to the greater girth expansion I get in the tube compared to a normal erection at normal room pressure. I think that the lateral pull of girth expansion while in the tube shortens things just a bit.

Thanks for clearing that up. You’d think that the tube measurement would be longer, since the pressure inside pulls the penis outwards.

You’d think. But then you read posts from men whose stretched length is longer than their erect length, and others whose erect length is longer than their stretched length, and it seems that some men pump up longer than their BPEL, and some pump up shorter. (And who knows what cylinder size they’re using in comparison with their normal non-pumped erect girth?)

Non-uniform techniques and procedures, and individual variation in response to those techniques and procedures, is part of why PE is part art and part science. It’s also part of why it’s valuable to document your PE efforts and your results for yourself. It seems logical that someone who does that is going to get better results than someone who does PE randomly and sporadically.

Part of the challenge of PE for those who do not see immediate results is to continue to put in time and the effort for a result of unknown magnitude in an unknown timeframe. It’s a leap of faith, and part of the value of Thunder’s Place for me was to be in a community where I could see that others had taken that leap and been successful. With that increase in my level of confidence, I committed to a consistent program, and I gained as I had not prior to then.

I never seem to really hit my actual bpel in the tube. It’s probably because I never go above 4hg. I usually want to add about a half inch extra to my length measurement when I’m in the tube. Somewhere around 40 min in the tube, it’s not a good idea to up the pressure to find out, since that seems to be when lymph fluid will really accumulate.

Another thing I’ve noticed recently is the amazing amount of tunica stretch that I’ve been getting and feeling at a low pressure. Had thought about using monkeybar’s v-stretch add on for the vac extender before pumping to aid in that stretch.

I actually think that the v-stretch will be more beneficial than the extender because those devices require such a ridiculous amount of time commitment. Regardless, I believe it would make a great warm up to pumping.

I’m interested in seeing if this tunica stretch will contribute to any length gains by next june.

Hey guys I got a question! When you pump do you pump to say 6hg then leave yourself in the cylinder for the full say 10 mins? Or do you release the pressure and pump again leaving yourself in there for say 30 sec the release and pump again then release and so on? I’m a little confused

Personally, I generally do not go as high as 6 inHg, and I release suction to zero for 30 seconds every five minutes.

Ok thanks for that, I wasn’t sure! :)

I do 2.5 minute sets, then jelq for 2-3 mins in between, reach a full erection, then repeat. 4 sets of that = 10 minutes.

Avocet, what do you do to get your gains? Stay at a set pressure, or pump up and down?

I love that album you’re showing as your avatar ;) oh… I love all of his records! :D
