Pumping and injuries

I’m just wondering why some people (like me) ends up with injure-like symptoms after a pumping session? I have tried to pump as low as 2,5HG and still getting bad erections the day after (which disappears after 2-3 days rest). I have read other stories of people which only can pump for like one or two times a week in order to not overwork they’re unit and end up with bad erections. How is it that some are less fitted to pump then others, and do it exist any solutions? (I really want to pump)

How much heat do you use when pumping. I find that anything over a moderately warm heat will cause some loss of erection - even to a complete loss a couple of years ago, so I tend to keep the warmth to warm rather than hot.

So it might be worth trying a little less heat.

ALso how do you pack the tube? a tight fit in the tube may be a factor.

Just as a thought. It may be that the tube is sitting on a nerve which being compressed, which might cause a problem. (That is just a thought I have no back-up for it)

So make sure your tube gives you enough space to “work” in. and, Consider the heat aspect.

Some details of your routine, equipment, and usage might help with trying to diagnose the problem.

Or it just may be that Pumping is not for you., But that is a ‘last resort’ situation.

I’m using the lapdist pump, with a 1.75 cylinder. I’m 5.2 in girth and have to lube my cock in order to enter the cylinder (Gpreg table says that I should use this size). I only have pumped I few times, last time was like 3 months ago, I tried a 3 minutes session, but couldn’t continue due pain in the base (I have cutted my cylinder in a low angle due my high erection angle and it’s somewhat sharp (I got a poor erection after this session))

Yes it maybe something with the heat. I’m using a rise sock and I have noticed that it’s somewhat harder to get a erection after heating my cock up.

I’m just worried about not be able to pump. If pumping it’s not going to work for me, I can’t do ANY PE, which makes me worry.

It is probably the cut part of the cylinder that hurts you. Have you tried rolling the edges, or using silicone as a cushion?

Gprent suggested to Latency back in December 2007 that he sandpaper or file the sharp edges of his tube. gprent - First pumping session - Possible damage Have you done that yet, Latency? First things first, and as you note, it’s been three months since you last tried pumping. You could do a lot of sanding in three months.

For that matter, I would not have suggested that you cut the tube at an angle in the first place. One alternative would have been to just not go into the tube at a 100% erection. It is arguably not required, and some argue, even desirable to enter the tube at less than 100% erect.

So, stretching and jelqing are impossible for you?

I have done some sandpapering, but apparently not enough. The problem is to find the right type.

The reason I cutted the cylinder was that I kind of worried about breaking my CC, if you have an erection and you push your cock down more then it can handle it would snap, fucking up the CC, which I don’t want to do. I was just being careful.

I can’t risk anymore injuries, I already have gotten some nasty problems from the JES some years back and people on the forum have reported permanent issues with jelqing and stretching, I don’t want to take more chances. If you stay below 5 Hg in pumping, you can’t hurt your self, it makes me a bit safe knowing that.

Why is it that some get problems with pumping, our dicks work by the same principals, right?

I understand. Pushing a fully erect penis down forcefully is risky at best. However, pumping from flaccid or partially erect slowly and at low vacuum is a different story. Should you have the opportunity to do so with a standard cylinder, you might want to try starting flaccid or partially erect and at a low vacuum level. Done carefully, that will not generate the damaging kind of force that you are worried about.

People have reported permanent issues with any and every kind of PE technique that you can name. If you do not want to take more chances, do not PE. Jelqing and stretching are safe enough if done carefully, at appropriate force levels and repetitions.

Keep this in mind. The major risk of not using enough force is that you will have wasted your time and you will not increase in size. The major risk of too much force is injury. Given the choice, I’d rather make a mistake on the side of using less force and not hurting myself. You can always increase the force level, slowly and safely, as you discover what your body will tolerate.

Technique and intrinsic physiology, which varies from person to person?

I was using Lapdist cylinders for a couple of years and found that the flange pressing on the surrounding pubic pad area was causing some prolonged numbness. So, I recently switched to Velseal tubes. Their flange is flared and covered with a very soft silicone pad (removable). This is much more comfortable and creates a much more reliable seal, too. A nice side-effect is that less skin gets sucked into the tube. Bonus: the tube is engraved with a scale for easy measuring.

I haven’t heard a bad word yet about the Velseal tubes except that they tend to be a little more expensive. They are supposed to be quality units.

I didn’t know that, thanks. But do you think it can make my erection angle lower over time?

And lets say I start again with pumping and experiencing a little poorer erection (again). Can I try to continue just to see if my dick only have to adapt to the new situation? Maybe the negative PE indicators switch over if you just give them some time?

Plustwo, where did you buy your cylinder and do the lapdist pump fit the Velseal cylinder?

Do you want your erection angle to be lower over time? (It probably will be, whether you want it or not.)

I would start pumping at a level where you experience no decrease in erectile quality (EQ). None. Zero. If that means starting at one minute at 2 inHg and working your way up from there, so be it. If that means pumping one day on and one day off, or one day one and two days off, that’s what you do.

I would recommend SparkyX’s thread Physiologic Indicators (PIs) to help growth! for more on this subject, but basically I think that if you are experiencing decreased EQ, you need to consider decreasing the intensity of your routine.

The LAPDist pump should fit the Velseal cylinder.

Mearing in mind that you have to lube to enter the tubeA 1.75 cylinder has a girth of approx 5.5 Your girth of 5.2 is going to expand whilst in the tube so the piece you cut would be prssing quite hard on the expanded penis and possibly bruising it.

You might find it worth considering a 2" tube, which would allow you to expand without having pressure on your penis and encourage future permanent expansion.

I have done a check on the tube manufacturer, but can not find a european address. Only this link:-

Hope that helps and good luck.

Some drop in erection angle is OK, it’s hard to do anything else then missionary right now but a dick pointing like 4 o’clock is NOT what I want. Now, I know that the erection angles will drop as we get older but will pumping (with a none cutted cylinder which will force my dick down) speed up this process, so that I may be having a 4 o’clock dick next year? Yeah, it maybe a silly question but I rather be prepared for it.

Just to be sure, my CC can not snap if I don’t cut my cylinder and my erection angle is 12 o’clock? I know you answered on that earlier but again I just want to be on the safe side (or something like that).

I don’t think that pumping will cause your erection angle to go as low as 4 o’clock. I just did a search with the words “pumping erection angle” and did not see any major threads that applied. In any case, you would not go from 12 o’clock to 4 o’clock overnight, so you would have time to stop well before you even got close.

The force required to rupture the CCs of a healthy normal penis is far beyond any safe pumping vacuum.

Just as a thought for getting a new tube. Try doing a google search on something like ‘plastic vacuum cylinders’. (You can use penis cylinders if you are not worried about others seeing your google search list.) That way you may find a supplier in Norwa, as that search will be in your local web area. And you won’t have to worry about Customs etc.
