So how did I get here?
I was always intellectually curious, and that included my sexuality.
One day I discovered that my erect penis fit into an old shampoo bottle. A few months or so later I tried again but this time it only fit in the larger economy size bottle. And the minimal suction it could generate felt good. I was confused by the precum that started leaking out, and shortly after that while rubbing myself on my bedsheets I had my first ejaculation. So apparently I discovered mild pumping right about the same time I had my initial growth spurt.
I won’t go into further detail about my early years because even though I think it was healthy and natural, things like playing doctor, etc., there are some sick, abusive motherfuckers out there. You know what I mean.
I spent the next dozen or so years chasing orgasms and girls. I read old print versions of playboy about how to delay ejaculation (how I learned to edge) and what percentile my penis size was in (high for girth at 5.625).
I started thinking about the suction thing again, but could not find any plastic bottles to fit, and this was very early internet, so I found a local plastics supplier in the phone book and bought a 2 inch id clear acrylic cylinder about a foot long from their scrap bin. I used a small plastic cup as a friction fit plug into which I drilled a small hole to friction fit a roughly 3/16 inch vinyl tube. Sucking on the tube produced great suction in the cylinder. No problem using air or water. And it could all be easily disassembled into non conspicuous looking components. Years later I very carefully heated the cylinder over a gas stove to form a large flat flange.
After a few years of occasional pumping I got a little more involved and fabricated a weight consisting of a vinyl tube noose and a small plastic bottle filled with copper pennies. Just going by feel it was approx 1 pound. I would hang for roughly an hour before work. Did this for maybe a few months.
Another couple years passed and then felt motivated again (partly by an ex that I wanted revenge on) to get bigger. Several months of hanging during the week and pumping in the tub on weekends. Maybe some slight gains. I did put inch increments on the tube and it looked like I was 8 inches fully pumped, but that all seemed like just an artifact of pumping, not actual gains.
Then more years go by, a big move where the cylinder got cracked, a serious relationship that fell apart. With time an a penis on my hands, I delved into intense hours long edging and non ejaculatory orgasms. I tried reddit penis forums where I read about Thunder and pygeum.
And now here I am.
