New to PE and want to pump

Long story short, I got a pump without a gauge and pumped for a few days. Like 30-45 minute sessions of about 5 minutes in the tube, minute or two out and repeat. All seems good, no donuts or spots, and discoloration was limited to what looked like a mild sunburn which faded to normal within maybe a half hour or so. Then I hooked the bulb pump up to my brake bleeder (with gauge) and found I was pulling about 9”Hg which from what I’ve been reading lately is too much. So for sure I’ll be using the brake bleeder to pull 5” reliably from now on.

Seems like pumping for longer duration like 30+ minutes is normal, but not recommended for newbies? Question I have is, considering I have over pumped several times already with no problems as far as I can tell, should I be ok to go 30 or 45 minutes continuous @5”Hg? And if it’s not ok, would this be something that I would know immediately by discomfort and could stop before it becomes a serious issue? Would like to pump 5” for 30-45 minutes continuous going 2 days on and one off if that wouldn’t be considered overly aggressive.

Yeah I’m sure I should ditch the pump and stick to the newbie jelq routine but so far I prefer the pump to jelqing and besides, you know fucking special snowflake and all that happy horse shit prevents me from being able to easily follow that program.

There is a major difference between 35 minutes of 5 minute sessions separated by 2 minute breaks and a continuous 35 minute sessions. It is best to limit your sessions to 10 minutes at 4 to 5 hg and increase your time by 1 minute a week until you reach 20 minutes. You can then add a second session later in the day.

It’s not something you’re likely to feel until you’ve injured yourself.

Thanks guys, that’s especially good to know about the potential for a stealth injury. What should I watch for here? I would guess lack of morning wood and general EQ degradation? I definitely want to watch closely and not cause myself problems.

So tonight I warmed up 5 minutes with a hot towel (what a mess, I’m making a rice sock tomorrow) pumped 10 minutes at 5”Hg, and warmed down another 5 minutes. And that’s it for the day, right? Weird how the extra time made such a big difference even with relatively less pressure. Had more discoloration today than I had before at near twice the pressure, and today I got tiny red spots. Looks like I was painting something and got overspray on my dick!

Also had a little game going on that might be semi-useful.. I have a slow leak, presumably from pubes, so every 15-20 seconds when the vacuum leaked down to 4, I found I could kegel it back up to 5. When it got back to 4 a second time, I’d relax and pump back to 5. So not only getting some minimal pressure variation, but also a good kegel workout at the same time. Seems like not such a bad thing.

There’s a good reason we recommend against devices this early on. Red spots is just one of several but as you said, being s special snowflake makes it your decision. I would be very careful if punping is the path you want to take this early on.

Yes sir. Still got the overspray dick this morning. It seems like a minor issue at the moment but with the potential for serious long term issues even my hard head is turned. I’ll work the newbie routine instead, and supplement with occasional pumping. Can work my way into more consistent pumping later on as long as all is going well. Preferences be damned, I really don’t want to screw up my one and only.

Marv. I did the same thing I pumped and pumped and it looked and felt great but listen to the vets. I put my pump and clamp away and will start after my 90 day routine. I’m just under 7in in length my girth is 5.2. I’m a girth gainer. When I started I was at 5in girth. I love PE its a sense of accomplishment and its great to have goal and surpass them. My goal is 8×6 which I 100% know I can tackle.
