Vacuum Pumping 101

Hey Guys,

I ordered a pump off eBay, it’s a dirt cheap deal, ships very fast and the pump works great.

Cheers

Hey Justsomeone and Teninchgoal, can I suggest you take a little time out to read Avocet’s original post in this thread? It’s a classic and it contains answers to your questions.

This is a peace of avocet’s post:

Maybe I missed the answer (again), can you point me in the right direction if this isn’t it?

Thanks!

That is what I said then, and I stand by it. If all you have to do is a PE routine once or less a week to keep your gains, does not having them continuously constitute “permanent” gains? I’ll go further and suggest that some guys - once they “cement” their gains - may not even need to do any maintenance at all. At least that is the report from a number of men here who did PE, made gains, then retired completely from PE.

I gained almost a half inch in girth when I was pumping consistently a year or so ago.

I don’t pump very much anymore :(

I still have the girth I gained. :) :jumpblue:

(Gee I wonder if I outta take up pumping again …)

I have an unanswered question since a time back. For you who had gains with low pressure, did you always maintain the erection to 100% during the sessions? Because I’m not even 90% if I leave it at 4-5Hg, I need to go upp to 7-9Hg to have it fully “standing”.

Into the tube 70 to 80% erection, 2.5 to 3.5HG. Any higher pressure than that was counter productive. (Bad PIs)

I did tube milking and kegels while in the cylinder.

Per a gprent suggestion, I would do 50 kegels, and then 50 milks. Rinse and repeat.

I came out of the tube soft (50%) and always edged at least 10 minutes afterward.

It is ok to get softer while you are pumping. See this thread:

Soft when I exit pump

I use Cialis almost every 3 days and watch porn while pumping to keep the erection. I even kegel every once in a while…

Hi avocet8,

In answer to your question, the fourth paragraph up from the bottom that begins “it is common for the penis to remain longer.” the very final sentence reads:

“Unlike some, I do not believe that pumping gives fully permanent gains. But a minimal maintenance schedule of pumping 3 or 4 times a month will let you keep what you’ve worked for. That, to me, is permanent enough”

So I read that as you did not believe pumping would give permanent gains.

I have read it ;)

Check my post above buddy, the sentence is in there. I’m not knocking pumping, hell I have one, but I just wanted to know if this view had now changed seeing as the original post was submitted back in 2002.

Cheers :)

Ok I see what you mean. Confusion of the word permanent I think. For me, permanent means once it’s there, it doesn’t go away, regardless of what you do. Doing a routine once a week to keep gains isn’t permanent.

Anyway, don’t take this as an attack. I really enjoyed reading your post and it answered a lot of questions. I have already seen a good increase in my girth since I started to pump, however these have not yet cemented which is why I asked the original question as to whether pumping could cause permanent gains.

I for one do not want to be pumping for the next 40-50 years, but rather achieve a size (if gains are permanent) and then enjoy that size.

Thanks again :)

I find pumping so calming and relaxing that I hope I am pumping for the next 40 years!

I think it releases some “feel good” chemicals in the brain. Sort of like a good massage does.

As I say, I have not been pumping recently — need to get back to it.

Thank you avocet

Is pumping 3 times a day better

Glad to see it’s now sorted “buddy”.
