Figured I’d ask this here since I don’t think I can start a new thread yet or however that works and this is an injury area so.. Also I apologize for cutting in on your thread. If this is in the wrong place again I apologize, I’m new at this.
About a month ago I bought a penis pump from a sex shop ( I know those aren’t recommended around here) but it did have a gauge on it. I’ve used the thing a total of three times since I bought it a month ago. The first time I used it I was really just playing around with it just to get a feel for it.
The cylinder has a 2.5 inche diameter which is way to big but didn’t realize till after I opened it (I have a 6 inch base girth). The box that it came in did say it had a 2.5 inch diameter but I had no idea what that meant at the time and that it corresponded to around 8” girth or so. This is the first pump I’ve ever bought so I didn’t know what size I needed and really what I was doing as far as looking for a pump goes. It also came with a silicone donut sleeve thing.
Anyway I’ve used it a total of three times like I said, never going over 5hg or the 5 mark on the gauge. Getting up to around 3hg to 4hg mainly, maybe once or twice hitting 5. The first time I did maybe 3 30 second -2 minute sets with about 3 minutes inbetween sets (or however long it took to get my self some what hard again) as I was afraid to pump any longer/ higher cause it felt new to me and kind of weird and I thought I could injure myself easy. But I never felt any pain, numbness, or seen any discoloration. I did one set with the sleeve thing on, one without and then again one with it on. The pump came with hardly any instructions by the way. The only pain I ever remember feeling was at the base from the base of the cylinder digging in my fat pad and scrotum and kind of leaving a red mark.
So after that first pump session I felt hesitant to try it again the next day and ended up waiting about a full week before trying again but did see good erection quality later that night with the lady.
The second time I used it, it was basically the exact same thing as the first time I pumped. Kind of being cautious, switching from using the sleeve thing to then not using it, staying in the cylinder no longer than a minute or two, for about 3 sets at no more than 4 - 5hg pressure, about 3 - 5 minutes between sets, no pain or numbness, except the red ring on my pubic bone after I release pressure and pulled the cylinder off but it goes away within a few minutes. The cylinder is red and see through and kind of makes it hard to tell if your dick is turning bluish purple or if its just the red tint of the cylinder but it had been over a week since the first session and again I noticed great erection quality later that night with the lady. By the way, manly the only reason why I considered a pump was to have improved erection quality not so much to actually make my dick bigger.
The third time I used the pump was about 2 days later after that 2nd pump session. I figured I would get good erection quality again by pumping a few hours before having sex again as that is how the other 2 pumping sessions went. Pretty much the same thing this time as the other 2 times, got hard put my dick in and pumped up to around 3-4hg. For around 2 minutes then released pressure. Did about 3 sets total and on the last set stayed in the cylinder for about 4 minutes and noticed my dick seemd to look blueish purple or so it seemed (again the cylinder is tinted red so it makes it hard to tell) and my penis seemed to have a slight downward bend starting at the middle of the shaft. I released the pressure and pulled out my dick and it did seem noticeably thicker and I noticed a very light donut effect starting to form under the glans and seen a bit more veins than normal but didnt see any discoloration or feel any pain. Then did a couple of jelqs and was done. I ended up with very bad erection quality that night, almost like a slow erection and needed to have constant stimulation to even keep it up some what. Could never get it to get fully engorged.
Its been a week since that last session and my penis still feels some what fatter with noticeably more veins or maybe its swollen? Lymph congestion? Lymphatic swelling? Edema? When I’m flaccid. I have No pain but I don’t know if its just in my mind cause I’m super paranoid about getting an injury or what but I feel like this slight burning sensation and tingle in my lower Corpus spongiosum near the base. I’ve had sex with my girlfriend 2 more times sense I noticed that bad erection quality and its still the same. Slow like erections that I can’t keep up and dies down fast without constant stimulation, its never really been this way before
Do any of you know what it could be? Did I cause a Venous leak? Did I rupture a blood vessel? Or artery? Or vein? I have no pain or discoloration or blister. Any help from you vets out there would be greatly appreciated thank you I’m just really worried.
Like I said the pump came with hardly any directions I’ve just kinda done my own reading here and on gpents (I think that’s his name) pumping and cylinder sizing thread and some other PE sights on how to pump and what time and levels were generally considered safe as I was originally going to order an LA pump or vacutech but bought this crap one I guess to get a feel if pumping would be right for me.
Please help me out Guy’s I’ve been a long time lurker and would really really appreciate it
