Pumping help

My major issue right now is getting a good seal. Really need help:

Started with a 9 x 2 vacutech elliptical tube and used vaculube. I had to stand up and pulse for a few minutes to get the seal, but eventually I got it. I still felt the tube was too big even though I am 6.5 x 5 MSEG. So I bought a 9 x 1.75, but even worse even though to work my dick into the tube because its kinda small. I’m now using a cheap lube, so that may be the issue. I reordered vaculube, but how can I troubleshoot if its the hosing or any other parts of the pump outside of the tube?

Next few questions for serious pumpers (please dont direct me to old threads, that annoys me; I’ve read them all):
Any suggestions for pumping without porn? Hard to get a good erection once my dick sees the pump
Do you suggest cock rings or anything in between or after sets? I really cant jelq so I am looking for something to supplement
Any tips on pre-sex pumping?
Anybody made gains pumping from soft or semi-hard? Always need an erection?

Only one question for now. Have you shaved around the base of your cock?

I use vasoline on the bottom of the tube and I stay trimmed there. That has always helped with the seal.

The porn question… stop watching porn for awhile like a detox. That’s been suggested to me and it helps.

Pre sex…..I’ve done it but never right before I’m talking about an hour before and my EQ wasn’t as good so I’ve implemented a cockring for when I do this.

Pumping semi….I’ve never done it so I’m no help there. Good luck

Yes I am trimmed there. Im thinking the lube isnt thick enough. But how do I know if its not from above - hosing etc?

Again the Vaseline trick on the above attachments. I’m not trying to a dick and I know you said don’t direct me to old post but…… there are some old post about this on here.

Btw I’m just bustin chops

I don’t use any lube when I pump, so it is not absolutely necessary.

This one is too easy, but is the female connector firmly screwed into the cylinder?

One more. To get started, I always start with an erection and bone press the tube into my crotch as I begin to pump up. Might help.

God damn gprent! No lube?! A little spit? Nothing? Lol

Nothing. That’s why I have to enter erect and bone press the cylinder as I start to pump up. The other secret is to use a tube ¼ inch larger then one you can pack, so you don’t get stuck.

Hello Alpha90210 !

What I did for troubleshooting was to use some water with soap and spread it on the important places, if when you pump it generates bubbles you’ll know where the problem is. With this I could locate that one end of the hose was letting the air escape and fixed it.
As for porn I usually pump watching it and I don’t have any problems, actually it helps me a lot to stay hard which yes, in my experience pumping with an erection is important for gains. Some people in here seem to have a different opinion about this but it works for me.
Finally pre-sex pumping is something is do very often and that’s when I use a cock ring because it helps a lot for keeping your size and the erection itself. The next things I can think of are lube and making sure the girl is extra aroused because a pumped cock may need help to fit. This of course depends on size, yours and hers.

Greetings!

Thanks for the response! All of them!

Gonna try and see with vaseline, and the soap water when I get home.

Plump rod can you tell me your exact presex pumping routine. Duration, pressure, sets, how much time before sex, and when you put on the cock ring (is it between sets, or after, etc).

Thanks!

Is the 1.75” cylinder round or elongated? A 1.75” elongated cylinder is bigger than a 2” round cylinder.

I have severe ED so I always go in flaccid and use the pump to generate an erection which I maintain with a tight constriction band (Osbon) for sex. It is best to use a Medical type VED which allows you to slide the constriction band down the cylinder onto the base while still inside the cylinder. However, exiting the cylinder and then sliding on the band also works but you need to kegel in blood to bring the erection back to full capacity.

Anyway, I have gained an inch in girth Inspite of my ED.
