Vacuum Pumping when you have ED; the short version, according to Avocet8

Thanks for your info. Very informative information.

Would it be bad if im not getting hard in the tube? Im going in about half hard and it staying the same the whole time, except when I pull my unit out its more plump and red, which im guessing is a good sign.

Are you sure you’re getting a tight seal at the open end?

Yes, no air is leaking out. When I insert soft unit and pump, should it come out hard?

Depends on what you mean by “coming out.” Most of us experience a loss of the erection when we come out of the tube. But a good erection inside the tube under vacuum.

By coming out I mean when I take my unit out of the tube after pumping, and I do not experience a good erection under the vacuum.

It doesn’t have to be rock-hard in the cylinder, or when you take your penis out of the cylinder after releasing the vacuum.

There’s an interesting study referenced in the thread Pumping gains - MICRO Scar tissue gains?. From that, my guess is that the benefits of pumping come at least in part from getting good oxygenation to the entire extent of your fully expanded penis.

I tried a pump for ED w/o much help, but after reading this artical I’m going to try again. TP comes through again.

I wonder how many of the ED sufferers here might have hormonal issues as well, can be caused by weight or other issues.
Try losing some weight, adding some zinc, garlic and almonds to the diet and doing a little more excercise. I’ve found all of these help me.

Also of note, I often am in the pump and it stays with maintained suction but when I stop watching porn I no longer have an erection. The penis is sucked out to fill the tube but I can feel the inner cock (the actual part which gets hard) isn’t being naturally filled. If I watch some more porn I get a genuine erection filling the tube a little more.

I have been combining bathmate, static stretcher, hanging and have added supplements 1000 mg oyster extract I have been taking that along with 100 mg pycnogenol 500 mg horny goatweed and 5 grams of L-Arginine. I haven’t woken up with wood in a long time I have been taking this combo for about three weeks and the past couple of morning’s I have woken up with pine (soft wood) but it was more than in a long time. I was so excited I woke my wife to show her.

Great expression!

Thanks for your advice. At my last physical in December I had my testosterone tested for the first time because of ED and it was normal. I did decide to lose some weight because of high blood pressure (I need to lose 30# and I’ve lost 16# so far). I’ve also increased my exercise time more and tied it into my early morning PE routine. I started an late afternoon pumping routine two weeks ago (2x/wk); the early result is a thicker erection during intercourse with my wife (I still have to use Viagra). She let me know that she could feel the difference, so I intent to continue.

Something you might want to consider. On days I am unable to inject Trimix. I have had good results with a tight constriction band following a 20 minute pumping session at 4 hg. I use a high quality constriction band (Osbon from Erecaid - $25, including shipping) which maintains a 90% plus erection. Unfortunately, you start to loose sensitivity after 10 minutes and it has to be removed every 20 minutes to avoid damage. Though I normally use 50 mg of Viagra just to be sure of success, I have achieved strong erections without Viagra. When you consider the cost of Viagra, $25 is not a bad alternative.

This thread has really helped me. After reading the original post I bought a “cheap” penis pump (and its cheap for a reason) and it seemed to help with my ED. I’m still losing some weight (22lbs so far, still need to lose 10 more) which has put my blood pressure and other health issues back into the normal range (according to last weeks blood tests). the best thing is that my erections are returning and my wife is loving the extra volume and my re-newed ability to stay hard. On another note I’ve ordered a “real” pump w/ gauge and a larger tube (I was filling the cheap one up to the top). anyway, thanks again to all you who have provided advice.

I re-started PE recently and am combining jelqing, stretching and light bathmate sessions. Really looking forward to trying this program. Essentially been doing light 5 minute bathmate sessions so far. First time ever pumping and it’s interesting so far. The argument behind the original post here makes sense- thanks for writing this!
