question about "milking" the cylinder

Does anyone who uses the “milking the cylinder” technique (meaning
while pumped you move the cylinder up and down to create slightly
more vacuum momentarily), know if this is equivalent to the “pulsing
action of the CTC XL* pumps?

I’d love to fork out the dough for an XL pump, but if milking the tube
is the same, then I’ll be happy with that.

The selling point of electric pumps is that you don’t have to think much. Personally, I’d rather think about what’s happening while I pump, but I can see the attraction.

If you try the “milking” method with a manual pump, you will see that it causes certain and variable feelings of stretch-stress. These are easy to monitor as you do it and you learn quickly what is working and what likely is just causing discomfort.

Interesting answer. I guess I’m asking bluntly if milking the tube
accomplishes the same effect as the pulsing of that electrical
pump. Are you saying “yes”?

No. I’ve never used an electric pump. There are quys here who do. I hope one of them will chime in.

biggerandbetter,

From what I’ve read about the CTC electric pumps is that they create a continuous vacuum flow that pulsates steadily throughout your pump session. It also reads that this pulsating steady flow helps to increase gains due to pumping up faster compaired to the manual models.

I use to use an electric job myself years ago but found I really like the steady aspect of the manual model better. It’s probably a nice machine that could do a quicker job of your penis packing the tube over the manual model but not sure about that.

On the flip side. I’ve been “milking the tube” for about 2- 3 months now and really like it. During my 15 min sets when I take the Hg up to 5 for 5- 10 min, then, release down to 3 hg, I then milk the tube up and down slowly. This, I’ve found, does 3 things (for me anyway).

1. It relieves the digging in effect of the tube into the groin area, and

2. It massages my member while oxygenating the stale blood inside my tool.

3. The massageing effect of the tube going up and down stimulates the penis tissue and grows bigger in the tube. I milk the tube for only about 3 min. That’s when I up the Hg back up to 4- 5 Hg and hold again.

But If I can answer your quesion (as best I can), no, milking the tube isn’t the same as what the CTC machine does. It’s constant, milking the tube is not.

Avocet,

Just read your post on “pumpers coming out of the closet” and have to say you are a true inspiration!!

I’ve read a lot of your post on pumping here and the gains and commentment you have toward pumping is just incredible.

I only hope to get close to what you’ve accomplished since you began.
I’ll keep trying one day at a time!
