Adicted to bathmate pumping

As the title says.

I have become addicted to bathmate water pumping everyday 2 or 3 times a day and then wearing a rolled up abs sillicone at the base to keep the engorgement.

However when I wake up in the morning, I feel small and feel like I need to get on the pump straight away.

I am currently not incorporating jelqs although I probably should.

I am doing squats every day also.

You are probably doing too much, if your EQ is dropping, you are for sure. I think pumping produces some type of endophin thing, and it can be very addicting, but too much can decrease EQ and actually temporarily cause shrinkage.

Thanks for chiming in Sparkyx,

I was literally thinking the same thing as I read your message. I was thinking to measure to see how far I have come I think I’m around 16cm, but the EQ would be down so I wouldn’t be able to get a good measurement.

Why do you think EQ goes down. By the way I am not getting doughnuts so the pumps I am doing are not that full on!

What benefits do you get from it cheeba? As sparkyx says it sounds like you’re doing way too much, and then even more to make up for the shrunk flaccid .

You guys are right,

I thought that consistency was key but I guess in this instance its not working

Do you have any recommendations other than to stop. Ie start jelqing everyday or vac extender usage?

Pumping is very addictive but in my experience on its own is useless for gaining, Mine’s now in storage.

If you really want to use it I’d suggest it as a 5-10min warm up before jelqing or clamping or as a 10min warm down after stretching, hanging, extending etc.

Good luck

Why does it effect EQ? Who knows, I could guess, but its just a guess. What I would recommend is just go to every other day and see if that works. It may take up to a week to see the results so give it a week and see.

Some good threads;

Incremental Pump Routine Results

Been a While, My Pics

Once a day on a 2 on one off is the most I’d consider. You don’t have a gauge so you have no idea what kind of vacum your subjecting yourself to.

I think you are overdoing it. Need to pump once a day and give your dick and foreskin a chance to recover. Maybe even take two days off per week and see if you start hanging longer.

No one can tell another what will work for them, you have to experiment. The great thing about pumping with a gauge is that it is objective and reproducible.

You can try daily, every other day, 2 on and 1 off etc. I would suggest start with every other day with a modest routine, if EQ goes higher or stays high, then you can try 2 on and 1 off. If EQ stays high or goes higher, you can try daily with weekends off, etc.

Once you find the routine that gives the highest EQ, I would then begin to experiment with increasing time slowly. The alternative is to experiment with vacuum levels, but its best to only change one variable at a time or else it becomes too confusing if your EQ drops.

Overall, I think the more frequent, the more time, the higher the vacuum level you can use WHILE KEEPING HIGH EQ leads to the best gains. That bit about keeping HIGH EQ is the key point. For me, its about 23 minutes, three times a week with vacuum levels about 7 minutes at 4 in hg, then 5 for 7 minutes and then 6 in hg for the rest of the time.

I think with time, you may find you condition enough to increase time or vacuum or both productively, meaning you find you gain better while keeping high EQ, but it is slow and gradual for many guys, and some guys may never be able to move up much, and that is fine because with high EQ (especially great nite wood) and consistency over long periods of time, you are bound to see gains.

Good luck!

I have been doing more pumping now that my wife and I are living apart and I find that I have little morning wood.

Thus is a combination of missing my wife and pumping too much, but I’m not concerned as I’m not going to be asked to perform any time soon.

I get crazy expansion and discolouration but the colour returns in an hour or so.

My wife and I were sleeping together until I left on Monday, and occasionally I felt thicker than usual, which was an amazing feeling.

She was also making new sounds.

I got say cheeba I’ve had this same issue with being addicted to the bathmate. I’ve used it three to four times a day for full sessions, very stupid and dangerous. It took some time but I’m EQ did suffer. Lately if I’m using bathmate which I no longer do everyday I’ll do a short session in the AM and full session at night if I’m going to have sex. I do now prefer an air pump over the bathmate however I do love that pumped look after the bathmate.
