How long in the tube?

My question is how long do you stay in the tube pumped? Do you just go flat out at 4hg’s for 10 minutes, then release, relax, blood flow etc.. then go back in and do it again? Or do you just pump and release a little bit back and fourth for 10 minutes.

I personally have been pumping for 5 minutes at 3-5hg straight, then release etc.. then do it again for another 5 sets. 6 sets total of 30 minutes. I personally love the feel and look when i’m done with a session. Pump one day, hang the next for me.

I also dont know what the turtle look, looks like that some speak of

I have been pumping for many years and believe that you cannot bend or stretch a branch of a tree to its maximum then let it go and expect it be any different than before you started. A tree, plant or any branch must be put in a certain position and kept there for as long as possible so it will grow in that position.

Get the point.

I quite often pump at A VERY LOW VACUUM. starting when I go to bed at night and finish when I awake in the morning. Hard to do at the start, and if you have a good seal, meaning no pubic hairs, it it is no problem as time goes by.

I haven’t tried to wear it at night. I think I might start. How low do you believe you keep the pressure?

If you’re in the tube and don’t break the seal, your penis will expand to a certain level and stay there until you do break the seal. The vacuum level would be very low. The only thing keeping the vacuum level would be the penis trying to go back to normal size.

I have thought about doing this many times, but haven’t had the thought and the opportunity at the same time.

I would think that being in the tube for that long would be unsafe. That’s a long time for stagnant blood.

Most members here will agree that sleeping with a vacuum cylinder on your penis is very dangerous, and should be avoided .

The Pumptoys site has a lot of good information, in addition to selling a great line of quality products, check it out .

I believe that the consensus is that a periodic reduction in pressure, then a return to higher pressure in the range of 5 Hg or so, but not higher than seven, repeated, yields the best results .

Your results, of course, may vary .

Good luck, and above all, be safe, you only get one penis !

30 minutes at 3 to 4 hg. I cycle down to 1hg every 5 minutes, and hold it there for 30 minutes.

Or sometimes I go 3 sets of 10 minutes with a 5 min break in between. Or 2 sets of 15 mins.

I have gone longer sometimes, but I get negative PI’s. At least for me 20 to 30 minutes is the best amount of time. 45 minutes isn’t horrible, but longer than that is not good. In terms of expansion I do not see much difference between 30 minutes and 45 minutes.

I would NEVER wear any PE device while sleeping. Too risky.

I concur with Muscular Beaver and sta-kool. When the subject of homemade cylinders comes up (such as Homemade Tubes?) comes up from time to time, someone thinks about making a cylinder out of PVC. The problem with that is that you can’t see your cock during the session, and it’s useful to monitor that during your session.

If you’re asleep, by definition, you’re not going to be able to monitor the condition of your cock during the session. I wouldn’t go overnight without a periodic break in vacuum and without being able to monitor the condition of my cock. Others have had the idea of wearing a cock ring overnight, or wearing a stretcher. I consider those to be bad ideas also, and for the same reason.

This is a nice example of someone who has come up with a pumping routine that works for him, based on experience and observation. The only thing sta doesn’t mention here is frequency of sessions, and how that affects his PIs, EQ and expansion.

(sta, I take it that you cycle down to 1 inHg every five minutes, and hold it there for 30 seconds, not 30 minutes?)

Lampwick — HA HA, you are absolutely right.

Should read “30 minutes at 3 to 4 hg. I cycle down to 1hg every 5 minutes, and hold it there for 30 seconds”

Frequency of sessions - good point. I have been experimenting with that a little. I did 4 sessions this past week, it was too much. I am taking a week off to recover! 2 to 3 sessions per week is much better for me. Also prior to this week I was alternating pumping workouts with jelqing workouts. That seemed to work pretty well too — better than this past week of exclusively pumping.

I think your point about finding a custom routine that works best for you is very important. There really is no “one size fits all” in PE. What may work for me may be too much for you and vice versa.

myeight,

could you explain a little more about the all night low pressure pump?

Do you just pump before you go to bed and then leave it on, or do you wake up during the night to re-up pressure?

I’ve tried to go to bed with my cylinder on , but within an hour I lose vacuum.

p.s. I agree with everybody that it’s not very safe, but I’d like to try it at least once on a low pressure.

I don’t think it is a good idea. You know how as a warning in all those Viagra and Cialis commercials they tell you that “if you have an erection for more than 4 hours seek medical help immediately”. It’s probably for a good reason. When you hold blood in your penis for too long it cannot get back to the lungs for oxygenation. All bodily tissues including the ones in your penis need oxygen without it you could cause tissue death (necrosis). When you have a natural erection the blood flow is slowed significantly but not stopped. In a pump it is stopped completely because there is an outside force holding the blood there as opposed to the BC muscle (PC) that contracts to hold the blood in the penis during a natural erection.

Wow myeight. Seems scary to think you keep the cylinder on all night. Please go into detail.
