Anyone else need more than 7hg

Try it for a few weeks. Read that quote by gprent I posted above.

I usually don`t have any problems staying hard during the whole session if I want to, but there are varying opinions on that subject. Some thinks it is better to pump at lower erection levels and others enjoy staying rock hard.

Remember that if you are pumping for permanent gains, you should prepare to stay in the game for a long time. Years even.

Small and safe expansion is the key for long term healthy growth. The mistakes most guys (like me) make is that they want to PE NOW and get done with it. It just does not work that way.

Lower your expectations and don`t expect that your dick will look like a soda can when it comes out of the tube ;) Read the sticky thread at the top from start to end.

Good luck.

Thanks guys,

I have been on that regimen for a week and my EQ is super good! I think I’ll try to go long term gains route. What about lube ( sorry if its in the forum already ), I read baby oil is bad for the penis and components of the pump. What would be the best choice?

Thanks

KY or generic KY

Lampwick and petit-faun gave me great advice about getting a good seal here:

Newbie can’t get a perfect seal — is continually pumping the pump ok?

sta-kool,

Thanks for all the help. Everything is going very well. great thread by the way

Like others, it’s a struggle to stay at lower pressure cause I rarely feel anything - although I know it’s best in the long run. The thing that keeps me motivated to keep it down is that I detest the donut. I always get one when I’ve cranked the pressure too high. When it starts to feeling really good, I know I’m too high and a donut is coming unless I ease up.

Monstermandingo, you bring up a point that comes up from time to time, and it’s worth addressing.

Pumping by feel is not necessarily a good way to go about pumping. If you could do that safely and hit the same vacuum level from session to session, and keep the same vacuum level within a session that way, you wouldn’t need a gauge.

But pumping by feel has risks and downsides for just those reasons. It’s hard to know just how much vacuum you’re applying, how much vacuum you’re maintaining, and whether you are at a safe vacuum level for you.

And I don’t think that it is an accurate statement to say that if you can’t feel the vacuum, you aren’t going to gain from it. There are some who still prefer higher vacuum levels and claim good results from it. I think the more general conventional wisdom these days is that higher vacuum levels bring with them higher risk of injury, impaired EQ and discoloration, and do not necessarily bring any greater gains than pumping at lower vacuum levels.

Your mileage may vary.

Holy smokes, I did something I shouldn’t have, I had my pump on for 2 hours, ranging from 7 to 10 hg, man talk about build up, but I reached the 8bpel mark!! Looked like puffed up marshmellow when the erection went down. Fortunately in the morning it was back to normal.

With jelqing and clamping I cannot get bigger than 6” in girth circumference . What can I do to get thicker ?

I have heard that patience and discipline may help ;)

Cranking up the pressure does not.

Found out my gauge was wrong, I wasn’t using near the hg I thought I was .that was a relief

TheBigLurk,

How did you determine that your gauge was off?

It rests at 5hg now :p

I’ve actually pumped to a higher hg than 10 before but I’ve determined that it wasn’t of any use nor was it safe. Currently with my gauge I am doing 10hg. I visually check for maximum length expansion before I feel that there is enough pressure on the penis to make any progress. It just so happens that I reach this state at 10hg, whether or not it is true measurement. I only maintain this for 10 mins at a time. I pump with a silicone cock ring at the base as well to maximize blood retention. This might also have a clamping effect as it is pressed inward by the tube walls, possibly letting me hit maximal expansion at a lower vacuum.

Lather, rinse, repeat, and you may find yourself recreating your foreskin.
