pumping queries

I have started pumping sometime back.I am quite happy with the results so far.

I have two questions:-
1.
I dont see any fluid buildup.My penis gets engorged but no massive fluid buildup I see in pumping pictures.
Is that normal or am I not applying enough pressure

2.
My glans becomes purple and has many small depressions . Is this normal also ?
both the purple color and the depression go away after a while.

Fluid build-up usually means you are using too high a vacuum. and should be avoided. So you are using a reasonably low vacumm. However your scond question seems to indicate a high vacuum. .

The vacuum should be something between 3hg and 4 hg, in early stages of pumping. so try those limits and see if the problem goes away.

Thanks Petit.

unfortunately I didnt buy a gauge with the pump which I think was a big mistake.

So now I pump till it starts slightly paining.

Do you feel it is enough if I pump till it gets bigger\engorged but no so much that it starts to slightly ache ?

or is best that it is always pumped to the mximum the penis can tolerate

Hopefully I can get a response to this post too.

I just starting pumping I’m in my second week and I’m following the pumping 101 criteria. I also get no fluid build up and I use around 5 hg. Now I’m a skinnier guy with a big head. It seems I’m getting good expansion because afterward I’m about a half inch wider. But I’m not working my way up my tube like I thought I would from the impressions I got from other posts. Could my head be expanding to much and not allowing my dick to move up more?

I lube like crazy, or am I just being impatient? Probably the impatient. But any other info would be pertaining to things like this would be great. Example : wrapping the head while pumping.

If you are using lube, your head will slide up the tube as you expand inside it.

I played around with pumping back in the mid 70’s along with jelqing and got lasting results quick. I was in my 20’s then. Experienced donut dick and other damage early on but managed to make progress.

I was diagnosed with metastatic testicular cancer back in 2000 with left testicle removed and right testicle destroyed by chemo and radiation. Testosterone levels dropped off and my weenie began to shrink. The doc placed me on supplemental Testosterone about 6 months ago and my remaining testicle began to shrink. I bought a hydro type bath mate pump and started about 90 days ago along with tribulis and long jack, extra zinc and copper and took myself off of the testosterone.

Also started HCG injections two weeks ago for two reasons, 1. To stimulate my natural testosterone. 2. To loose weight. The recovery from the cancer caused me to balloon up 40 pounds over normal. I do dry jelqs and clamping along with the pump. Can’t use lotions or fats even on exterior with HCG treatments in progress as it will interfere. When I first started with the bathmate I could barely get it to 170 mm/6.7 in. On the scale in the in pump and after 90 days progress has slowed but I am hitting at 190 mm/7.5 in. In the pump.

Wife is noticing with fits of noise making and statements of how much better it feels during sex. Am really going deeper and stretching things out.

As soon as I can use lotions again I will add wet jelqing to the routine again and try some stretching.

I would suggest that ‘slightly paining’ is too much vacuum, and you should take it back a little. All you really need is a pleasant stretch on your penis.

You may get some discomfort at the base where the tube is pushing into your fat pad and the sensitive areas there. This is to be expected particularly if you are new to pumping. but you shouldn’t aim for pain. until you have conditioned your unit to take a little more. even then:

Pain will bring bumps, bruises, and blisters

So take it easy. It’s not a competition to see who can tolerate the most pain.. If you want to consider a goal, try getting to the state where it feels you are having sex. :D

As avocet says you should have no problem moving up the tube with lube. I wonder if you are wrappng the head to achieve the ‘no sliding’ action. There is no point in wrapping the glans in a tube as the whole idea is to expand it and you will be defeating the purpose by wrapping.
What size tube are you using?

I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. but glad to know that you are making some good progress.

Just a point I don’t know if you can use condoms, But if so you could use one when pumping and then use lube on the cocndom - water based or vegetable oil of course.

Just a thought but Hope that might help your pumping.

Just a point Guys. but if you can it would be better to keep your threads in your name as it helps people when searching.

You may not be able to open a thread in the pumpers forum just yet, but open one in the Newbie forum and a mod will transfer it to the appropriate forum.

Thanks Petit , I think I will take it easy from now on

I will try the condom while pumping. My guess is the penis will expand without catching on the side of the pump. Happens to me on an air pump or the water pump. Thanks for the tip.

For the HCG protocol, a water based lube should be fine. You just have to re-wet it with water when it begins to dry.
