Pumping, Cylinders & Infrared

I’m now pumping and trying to use an IR lamp, but I’m concerned that the IR isn’t penetrating the cylinder.

What’s the deal wiht IR and pump cylinders?

I just don’t seem to be feeling it and the cylinder seems to stay very cold.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Am I wasting my time using an IR lamp while pumping?

It is difficult to detect heat with your penis as it moves the heat away quickly.

Try putting your fingers inside the tube and then exposing it to the infra red and see if you can feel any heat that way.

But keep your hand which is outside the tube shielded from the heat, otherwise you will get a ‘false reading’

You may find it necesary to move the heater nearer to your penis whicle it is in the pump.

Also you could try putting a mirror behind the pump ,facing your penis, to reflect heat back

Thanks petifaun, good thinking (my mind must be on other things).

I gave it a try and I can barely feel anything. What little effect there might be probably doesn’t seem worth the effort involved in keeping the light on the tube.

Seems there could be a market for crystal cylinders, if indeed they don’t dissapate the IR as does the material currently in use.

In fact I went and tried it myself and found there was a reasonable amount of warmth getting through on my fingers straight away. But the lamp (100 watt) had to be fairly close to the tube.

Maybe it depends what plastic the tube is made from.

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to give it another try. I’m on a two on one off routine at the moment and todays a rest day. I’ll see if I can get a better result tomorrow.

It works really well with hanging but for the time being I’m sticking with the pump.

If you’re a vampire, though, and you don’t see the reflection of your penis in the mirror, I’m guessing that the infrared will pass right through just as readily as the light does.

So that’s what has been terrorising the neighbourhood I’ll have to try a see-through mirror.

Anyone with practical experience?

I tried it last night and managed to pretty much roast my dick, so IR and pumping is possible; just how much good it would do I’m not sure.

If I recall correctly IR might promote cell-production, but just how much faster you could gain and whether that’s worth the time and trouble of working the lamp (I mostly prefer hands-free P.E. so that I can get on with other things), I’m not sure.

The main reason for heat is to make the tissue more flexible. Which in turn allows more expansion to occur, and which should give you quicker and more permanent gains

And because the tisssue is more flexible, it will lessen the chance of injury.

So it adds up to a worth-while operation.

hi,could you tell me how many minutes,wich pressure for gaining in length,i was thinking IR is good but somes guys said that is dangerous for your balls iam full shaved,and is hard to find a solution something like a latex slip whith just one hole where you put your cock just for peing front of the lamp,i have a german beurer of 150 watts (is close of a philips) and i just doing my warm up front of the bulb.

so i want to add to my routine pumping front of the lamp.

my routine is:
10 minutes warm up
10 minutes BTC stretch
speed warm up
5 minutes of power stretch front a video exemple.
15 minutes of jelqing
but if i add pumping to the max after the jelq
can i have a benefit for hard length gaining.
because i have just gain 0.50 centimetres (try to find your own equivalent in inches)

tell me guys.
cheers from france.

Spoutnik:

I would suggest that you read the Vacuum Pumping 101 thread before you start pumping. A lot of your questions will be answered there.

Pumping may help with gaining length - but it might not. Some think that pumping helps girth more than length.

Please don’t ‘pump to the max’ after the jelq. Start with low vacuum and short duration, and increase gradually. Coax out the growth, don’t try to force it out.

Good luck!
