Trouble staying hard while pumping

Hey guys just new to PE have tried Jelqing etc before and am about to start up again as I have more time on my hands ;) had a question about pumping I recently purchased a 10 inch penis pump I am currently around 8” BPEL and 6” Girth at mid shaft. The entrance to the pump has a rubber band which is quite tight and creates a circle mark at the base of my penis is this normal? Also I have noticed that the head of my penis rubs against the tube (the girth of the cylinder is easily large enough to fit me might be the angle in which I enter?) I just completed a 10 minuet pump and was fairly aroused got to around 8.5” inside the tube but as soon as I finished and pulled out which is also hard to get off (would I need lube?) I drop to a Semi straight away (Is that normal?) thanks for your help in advance.

I plan on starting the PE newbie routine soon my goal is 9” BPEL by 6.5 Girth.

I think it’s a good idea to use lube or lotion. My penis also touches my tube (I have a slight upward curve), and it definitely feels a lot worse without lube/lotion. It’s normal to come out of the tube not at 100% (I.e. Semi), no worries.
What pressure are you pumping at? Longer sessions at lower pressures (3-5 in Hg) seems to be the general consensus around here, I believe. Please, just make sure you be careful and take a it slowly; I know it’s mesmerising to see it grow in the tube ;)
If you haven’t already, I recommend you take a look at Vacuum Pumping 101

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the info :) unfortunately this tube doesn’t have a gauge so I’m not sure how high I’m pumping at. I did crank it a little at the end of the session.

The same happens to me, I go in hard and it stays expanded throughout the session but once the vacuum is released and I pull out my unit is flaccid but plump. I coat the tube with Baby Oil and it works well to eliminate any type of blisters and greatly reduces sticking when coming out of the tube. I bought a small plastic bottle (with a fine-spray pump) from the drug-store and use it to apply the oil into the tube and on my unit to keep my hands free of oil. It helps keep the exterior of the tube and hand-pump clean.

Same here, I assume that is standard. Usually I am not aroused, I have a very light pump and my session lasts 2hrs straight. My dick comes out pretty much moulded to the shape of the cylinder but in a flaccid state.

If you where pumping for EQ reasons, I suppose the procedure is different, including slipping a cock ring on straight after. However for PE I guess the point is to work out your CCs ;)

Just massage yourself to a full erection as soon as you come out of the tube and enjoy.

As soon as you can afford to, get a suet up with a gauge. You need a gauge to be consistant with you routine, but even more important, it’s very, very, easy to hurt yourself using too much pressure.
