Pumping dangerous?

Hi all,

I know people have been saying it’s not dangerous if you don’t overdo it, but I was reading this article on about pumping injuries and I really wonder what “overdoing” means. He notes that both in short-term but also in long-term it can have a bad effect on your erection quality, and furthermore that pumping for penis enlargement usually means that you are overdoing it.

I think his post makes a lot of sense with a lot of the dangers and basically that your penis is not built for pumping and also providing arguments from a biological perspective like the lack of oxygen. Furthermore I am especially scared that suddenly it turns out that I damaged my penis. I just started pumping and doing it for 10 minutes per day at 2-3HG, to be safe and not overdo it, but it would suck if it turns out I am overdoing it and fuck up my penis.

I’m trying to increase my penis size to be able to satisfy my girlfriend better and have more fun in the bed room. So trading in EQ for Size makes no sense, since every girl prefers a hard (smaller) cock to a soft (bigger) cock.

Yeah that’s a site that is selling extenders And pills it’s not real … called sponsored content

Proper pumping will increase the size of your penis without injury if you follow the basic rules: Always use a pump wit a vacuum gauge. Start off with a five minute routine at a vacuum level of not more than 5 hg. Each week increase the time under vacuum by 1 minute until you reach 20 minutes. Use your EQ as a guide and back off for a while if you experience a decline in EQ. Once you reach 20 minutes do not exceed it. However,you can add a second session later in the day.

Follow these rules and you will not experience any significant injury although some discoloration is not always avoidable.

Sounds to me like you are too paranoid to be doing any kind of PE. I want to strongly caution you about driving your car today, because it can lead to serious injury and even death.

+1… Wise advice. :)

I understand your concern. However, pumping is safe if done correctly. Much like many daily activities. Moderation and common sense rule here and most pumping injuries start with significant discomfort that users ignore. Or them using extreme pressure levels or extreme durations while not accustomed to or conditioned to those levels and types of force.

If pumping bothers you, don’t do it. But if you’re doing it because of that site, beware the next site that shows extender injuries so it can sell a pump device. I mean literally, never trust advice from someone with anything to sell.

Well said. I am sure that there are people that have had an injury from pumping, or hanging, or an extender, or exercises, or… That’s why you should always take it easy at first as you learn what kind of stress you can handle and what might be too much.

So you’re saying 20 minutes continuous?

I’ve always used the 10 minute rule for pumping. I start to get discoloration along the shaft even after 10 minutes. I try to go in and out as quickly as possible once I get fresh blood in there.

So I guess my question is: is it better to stay in 20 minutes continuous from your experience, or would a quick in and out basically do the same job?

I’m mostly just woried about the injuries sneaking up on me, or being some long-term effect I’m not aware of.

My routine atm is 10mins of pumping at 2-3hg, and 10mins of jelqing. I’m conditioned in a sense that I have jelqed before (with zero result sadly). I took a 1-2month break of jelqing and now restarted. With jelqing I don’t have any worries of getting injuries. It’s simple for me: as long as I don’t grab my dick really hard, I don’t get injured. And I do have some control of my body and where my limit is in that respect. However, with pumping I’m worried it just all of a sudden hurts and I did not feel it coming.

Mishaps with pumping generally aren’t instantly debilitating or permanent.

To do yourself drastic harm you likely would need to spend a significant portion of time well beyond 6HG, which at your current level of conditioning would be uncomfortable at 6HG for any appreciable time. Instantly dangerous pressures with the level of conditioning you describe would be 10Hg+ where even a few seconds would run the significant risk of blood vessel rupture and other complications. However…if you want to get a truly messed up penis and have very little or no pumping experience bring the pressure up past 14Hg. I’ve only been that high a few times after several very intense months of training and working up to it. Going up that high without training would be an emergency room visit.

Otherwise, at the pressures you’ll find comfortable it’s unlikely to be an issue. But, once again…this is your choice. If you’re too scared to experiment or not secure with this PE discipline then let me reiterate…do not do it if you do not want to. You don’t have to explain it to any of us. Put your pump materials in a box and PE some other way if it bothers you. We can’t make the risks less, we can’t assuage your fears. You have to make those choices on your own and confront those fears as you see fit.

PE comes with risk and there’s a guy who was posting recently who will tell you how jelqing ruined his life. Long standing Jelqing injury need advice and the fact remains all PE comes with risk. None is risk free. It is about what you’re willing to do and take responsibility for. Edit: This gentleman also had a PE related incident based around jelqing Long Lasting Injury

If pumping isn’t for you…then that’s that. It isn’t a problem, just find something you want to do and do that type of Penis Enlargement. No one here is selling you a pump or has a vested interest in you continuing any particular PE method. We just want to help.

One thing that is very important to PE is the power of positive thinking combined of course with proper technique and common sense. So if you have negative thoughts about pumping, then that will hinder your progress and just won’t make it a rewarding experience.

If you can’t eliminate your underlying fear about causing damage, then it is best to just not pump.
