I have a 15 year old son I get every other weekend and a girl friend (doesn’t know I am doing this). I do not live with my girlfriend, but try to see her as often as I can.
I used a pump about 10 years ago for a little while and got a little length from that experience (about 0.5 inch). I have a Boston pump and Auto-Extender on order and they will hopefully arrive soon.
I know, slow down! I will develop a safe plan of action. I have been reading like crazy and can not seem to get away from this site.Anyway, any advice on working a routine around everything else going on in a man’s life?
The Newbie routine is always recommended Even though you have done pumping before,, it is a long time so you need to get your unit prepared for the heavier pumping routine.
The other answer is do it when you can, and when you start pumping do it at low (3 to 4 Hg) and build up from there. It will, perhaps, take a bit longer. But at least you are doing something .
But do not do heavy exercising because you only do it occasionally. That will lead to injury.
Good luck!
