Wifeboner’s pumping progress

First post.

Just joined the forum last week and have been looking through many threads. I think I have the basic info I need but still would like to get a warm(er) fuzzy on things.

I’m 60 and decided to start pumping to hopefully help with harder erections, maintain one longer and getting one easier – if those are all possible. If I get a longer, fatter cock, then that happens too. I’m not doing any other exercises to increase size, just pumping alone. I’m in decent shape, healthy and not overweight. I do take testosterone (prescribed) but no other meds.

I haven’t been in dick measuring mode for a lot of years but I’m around 6”- 6-1/2” long and about 5.5” around (from memory). I bought a Leluv pump with a gauge and a 9”x2” cylinder.

My first pumping session was yesterday, got around 75% hard, slid into the cylinder then went for 5 min at 4in Hg. I released the pressure and stroked myself a little to get back to around 75% then repeated for another 5 min. I did notice the first round, I was right around 6-1/2” with vacuum and the second round I was much closer to 7”. As far as girth, I’m pretty much pressed against the side of the tube from base to head. If anything, I think I’d prefer a longer and not fatter cock but didn’t ask the wife. Anal sex is the only drawback to a fat cock and she isn’t on board all that often with what I have now.

My wife is well aware I’m pumping and she’s watched a little bit, just giggling a little and commenting that it looks painful. We actually pumped one of her nipples but wasn’t sure how much vacuum is bad so we kept it low and for maybe a minute. Her areola are bigger than the 2” opening until her nipples get hard. No real reason to state that other than I love it.

I pumped again today and my plan is to pump every day for 3 weeks or so before I make a change – likely change time and not vacuum.

I’m fine taking my time with this, I like my cock as is, just would like it useable for 20-30 minutes without stressing about it.

Does this sound decent enough for a start?
- I think I’m in the ballpark anyway
Should I take days off and how many?
- I’ve seen several mentions of ‘take a day or two off’ but those seem to be tied more to longer times and higher vacuum as well as when a problem arises.
Does the tube seem to be the right size?
- I think the 9” is fine, when I pumped today, the head of my cock was up against the tube as well as the whole shaft, so I’m thinking good on the 2”.
I don’t think I can start a thread but is this a good thread to get these answers on?

This is an interesting place, I’ve mainly stayed in the Pump section of things.
Thanks for any input.

Yes-but. Your tolerance for pumping will change as you continue to pump; generally, you’ll be able to handle more time and/or vacuum. However, past some mystery point - which can change at random - erection quality will go into the dumpster. When that happens, back off a bit. In a few days EQ should return.

That’s the correct size for you.

Watch for petechiae (red spots, primarily on the glans). Those are burst capillaries under the skin; a sign you’re pumping too hard. 5 minutes at 4" should be fine, but that’s your indicator if you’re pushing things.

Once you get noticeable edema - swelling - you might as well stop until it goes away. Edema is when lymphatic fluid is pulled from the abdominal cavity and fills the space between the skin and the tunica. Once that happens, the internal pressure on the penis drops to zero. You’ll stretch skin, but that’s all. You still get some tug for length, but in my opinion it’d not worth the hassle.

If you don’t want a girth increase, a 1-7/8" tube has a 5.89" internal circumference. A 1-3/4" tube is 5.49"; one that size would work just fine.

It makes things *much* easier when you don’t have to go into "stealth mode".

FYI, they make special small-diameter tubes - they look like short test tubes - for nipple and clitoris pumping, if the mrs. shows any interest.

I pumped again today and my plan is to pump every day for 3 weeks or so before I make a change – likely change time and not vacuum.

I’m primarily a pumper. I don’t do ‘days off’, and my gains are fine. You need an accurate measurement of your starting length, which you should write down, or put into your "stat" page. Every week, month, or quarter, measure again. There’s a sticky on how to do a proper bone-pressed measurement. If your EQ is iffy or repeat measurements are inconsistent, make several measurements and average them.

I use a cock ring and edging for maximum hardness when I measure. My EQ varies enough to make measurements inconsistent. The ring makes it larger than an unaided erection, which isn’t all that useful for intercourse, but it provides a consistent, repeatable measurement that I can use for keeping track of progress.

That’s what this thread is for! And welcome aboard, BTW.

Thanks for the input Andy.

Continue to pump everyday, same protocol.
It feels like the pumping is getting more comfortable, as in I could go longer but maybe not so much with higher vacuum. No changes right now regardless. Plenty of lube helps a lot.
I had to replace the o-ring on the quick disconnect, lack of attention to detail caused me to get the original chewed up rather quickly.

It appears my memory was close. Did a BPEL today and I’m closer to 6-1/4" so that’ll be my point of reference. Didn’t check girth yet.
Pumping pulls me just over 6-3/4" in the tube.

I’ve noticed several threads on ball stretching.
Wait for old age fellas, they’ll cover your asshole when you lay down and you also have the capability to sit on them on occasion. As a parlor trick, I can pull my sack up and stretch it over my cock, completely covering it.
Trust me, not bragging. They hang really low most of the time unless I’m cold.

I’m still pumping but have changed protocol a bit. I’m doing the following, all still at 4-5" Hg.
I’ll pump for 2 min, release vacuum and stroke for around a minute or less to maintain at least half mast, then repeat. I’m doing this for a total of 10 minutes in vacuum. I can’t tell a lot of difference than previous but I do like pumping this way a bit better, no real explanation for it though. I’m using a 2" tube and don’t feel like it’s too small at all.

Regardless of which protocol I’ve used, I have noticed the ridge of my head pressed against the side of the tube and the skin has a white look to it from the pressure. Just want to make sure I’m not heading down a direction that this could be a problem down the road but I’ve attached a pic of what I’m talking about. If the pic isn’t good enough to tell what I’m referring to, I’ll post another tomorrow.
Thanks.

The tube contact isn’t a problem. The white color is actually that it is less pink—contact with the tube prevents the same amount of vacuum at this spot than elsewhere so there is les blood being pulled into that area.

There’s really no way to avoid it and everyone has some degree of it, depending on their shape and tube size. But there is no long term effect from it.

Welcome to the board and best of luck!
