Vacuum Pumping 101

A quick update, basically I’ve been pumping for just over a month, and I can feel my penis getting fatter in my hand. I am a little scared to measure though, because seeing minimal or no gains really discourages me.

Right now I’m doing 15 min@5HG, 100 jelqs, then another 15 min@5HG, finished off with a 100 jelqs. So a total of 30 minutes under a vacuum and 200 jelqs.

My penis is a nice pink color during pumping, because I wrap my pump with a heating pad set to the medium level. I never have any discoloration, and I have never experienced the donut effect. (Does anyone have a pic of the donut effect?) I highly recommend to anyone pumping to keep your penis warm during the set!

Lampwick, sta-kool, (I believe avocet no longer pumps)do you guys still pump? Are you happy with your gains?

The expansion I get from pumping is unreal, and I don’t believe any other techniques could match it. Currently the only manual PE I perform is 5 minutes of stretching before entering the pump, and the 200 jelqs.

renesis — I had to stop pumping in May because of privacy reasons. I am stealth, and currently there is never a time when I am alone long enough to pump. (I can sneak away to stretch and jelq when others are around.)

I credit pumping for the girth gains I have made. They happened during that time, and I have only had a small uptick in base girth since going back to a manual routine (although I have gained a little length).

I really really want to return to pumping and am trying to figure ways to get back to it, given my current privacy constraints. I think I may have it figured out soon.

Oh, yes. I’ve mentioned from time to time that even if I had not gained the first fraction of an inch in size from pumping, I would still do it for the improved erectile fitness. My erections are better as a result of pumping. And, as it happens, I have gained from the combination of jelqing, stretching and pumping.

When you’re doing the 15 minutes under vacuum - is that 15 minutes straight with no break? I will go 15 minute at a stretch, but release the vacuum for 30 seconds every five minutes. Then I will jelq before another 15 minutes, with the same 30 second break every five minutes during that next 15 minutes.

Lampwick,

Yes, I go 15 minutes straight. I swear I read through the stickies, and 50+ pages of threads, and somehow, I always miss the important stuff.

I’m not trying to justify my incorrect method by saying this, but my penis feels fine, it isn’t spongy, and isn’t purple upon exit. Actually, its a nice pink color :-)

I pump when watching my favorite TV show or playing a game, so I’m always soft upon exit. I may have a hard time getting an erection every 5 minutes before entering the pump again. Is going 15 minutes straight unsafe? Is it less beneficial because I’m not constantly getting a new supply of blood? Thanks in advance.

One of the reasons why I have stopped pumping on the first time, was because I thought I would have to be constantly aroused to perform this particular exercise. I would watch porn to get an erection, and I’d still do it to keep it for almost an hour. That turned to be a very bad idea, mainly because I usually got so depressed about those big cocks on porn, and because it was the very first time in my life that I actually had to watch stuff like that. I’ve never really liked porn before, so it was really annoying to have to do that.

Maybe some of the vets have something to say about this. If you swear you don’t have to be constantly doing what I used to, then I’d be thrilled.

;)

I stimulate myself moving cylinder up and down. I think it’s much better than just let the vacuum keep the erection.

G_Want7 -

Have you started pumping again with your 6.5” unit? Its going to be more interesting and fun for you, I guarantee it.

No, I haven’t. In fact, after a one month decon break, I think I’ve lost a few milimeters. Will have to check later.

You don’t have to watch any porn - at all. The pump will do the work. Watch CNN (catch up on the world) or Discovery Channel. Play Solitaire. Never mind if you come out of the tube flaccid after the pump. While you pumped, you got the benefit of a lot of good penile blood work and Cavernosal expansion; plus some length stretch.

Avocet, is going 10-15 minutes straight, under vacuum dangerous? I haven’t noticed any negative effects as of yet, I have been doing this for over a month.

I don’t see this as a problem. I just mentioned the 30 second break every five minutes as something that I do, and that you might consider. You can pump for 15 minutes straight, and it’s not required that you go back into the tube with a full erection for your second 15 minutes after you’ve been out after your first 15 minutes and done your jelqs.

Avocet, what are you stats now? I have just started pumping and would be keen to seen what your stats are now!

Fantastic, avocet8! So, this is actually how you’ve done your pumping back in the days?

That’s really great news! You can not imagine how happy I am at this moment. I will condition myself and get back to pumping, which is something that I realy like.

No porn = More time to do something else!

I’m about what I’ve been, for years now. I have a half inch of length that comes and goes. If I slip below 8 L, I get back to work. Doesn’t take long to get that back. A week or two. Otherwise I do very little PE. I have this psychological thing now about the 8 Inch Club, you see. :)

Some of this, of course, doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s about ego. When I was a very average 6 L, I had good, fun sex. I still have good, fun sex.

I almost never watched porn while I pumped and did my manual exercises. Don’t get me wrong, I love certain types of porn. The only element calling for some kind of entertainment is the Boredom Factor. After you’ve done the same thing hundreds of times, Discovery Channel or FoodTV become very attractive.
