CarbonSkeptic Progress

I often wear my vacuum extender while exercising. Works just fine.

I’ve been using the Phallosan daily with varying levels of comfort. In some cases I’ve had it on 3 hours plus. I find I need to use the largest cup (with comfort sleeve) but often lose suction in the cup. I think I’ll need some supplementary constriction on the condom.

Last night I had it on for an hour, somewhat less comfy. I decided to pull off and found my frenulum to be very sensitive. I decided to cool it for the night, no pumping. Previously I had stretched and then followed with a pump session

I’m uncut and finding my foreskin to get pudgy with both extension and stretching. I have use self adhesive tape after a pump or stretch session but find it to be a PITA. I read somewhere in the volumes the “doughnut” is lymph buildup and compression with tape or a sleeve reduces it.

I’m considering using a Phallosan comfort cup with the end cut off, making a sleeve to compress the doughnut. If I use this “sleeve” should I wear it while pumping or just use it post stretch/pump?

I have yet to do a BPEL or girth measurement. I have visually noticed a girth increase but think it’s a little early to see results.

I’m also trying to remember to do keegles and have been improving and feel a strength increase there.

I’m getting erections more easily and more often but still not back to the performance and staying power I want.

I’ve tried wearing it while working out and find the added bulk to be cumbersome, occasionally losing suction. Too much attention required on the stretcher is compromising my workout. Maybe as I get more experience with it I’ll retry.

Cheers

Phallosan update

I’ve been using the Phallosan for between 1-3 hours with tension just into the red. I’ve been trying to go from Phallosan directly to pumping, my thinking being that after stretching is a good time to flush with blood via pumping. I’ve been doing this 1-3 times daily.

Last session I upped my pumping pressure a bit (if was maybe a 6 minute pump session). I ended up with a pretty plump doughnut. I dug into my Phallosan kit and cut the end off of a comfort cap for a flexible silicon tube. I stretched it over the edema for about an hour and pretty much cleared the edema.

On my next stretch session I used the comfort cap over my glans and then used the silicon tube over the edema doughnut area. This worked great for keeping ideal Phallosan condom sleeve seal. No need for the velcro cable strap.

I’ve had my Phoenix for about 6 weeks. The last two have been treating the crura every 2-3 days.

I’ve had my Bathmate for about 5 weeks.
I’ve had my Phallosan for about 2 weeks

I measured last night and have gained 1/2” BPEL and 1/2” of mid shaft girth.

I was 6” BPEL, now 6.5” I’d be very happy with another 1” but will continue until I plateau.

As far as girth goes I was 6.5” at the base and tapering to the glans. I’m now more uniform girth with less taper. I think My glans is increasing in size too but haven’t measured. Getting into the Phallosan large bell cup has required more shimmy. I’ve discovered using the pump can pull me in even before rolling the condom.

My routine has been 2 hours of Phallosan followed by a 5-10 minute pump, then rest for an hour or two and repeat. I’ve been getting 3-4 sessions a day. I do find this compromises getting other things done. I can’t wear the Phallosan while working in my shop. The flip side is I’m finding this very addictive, which probably isn’t news here.

I’m a stomach sleeper so overnight with the Phallosan hasn’t happened. I did take a nap with it yesterday where I slept on my back.

Nice

I’ve been continuing with Phallosan followed by pumping and have been getting some pretty substantial dognut edemas. I just pulled off the phallosan after about 2 hours and already have a smallish edema. This has made me decide not to pump and instead give time to subside.

Are there methods to reduce or eliminate this edemea?

So I may have over stated my length gains. I measured BPEL yesterday, and again today. It looks like I have 1/4” gain over about a month. After unstrapping my flaccid length has definitely increased, but is temporary.

I’m wearing my Phallosan for close to 8 hours a day in 1-3 hour sessions. I’ve got it tensioned into the red. I missed a few days of pumping with my Bathmate Extreme (had covid).

I resumed 1-3 pumping sessions per day. In my Bathmate I’ve gotten my pumped length to 7” but that’s also temporary.

I will be resuming use of my Phoenix in conjunction with the above. The recommended use is 30 days, then a 30 day break, then a second 30 day period. The first 30 days is purported to clear plaquing, the second 30 days to initiate new blood vessel growth.

WRT ED issues. I haven’t noticed a vast improvement, but it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve had a test drive with the GF due to covid isolation.

So I got a little enthusiastic with my Bathmate. During these pump sessions I was getting to just over 7” inside the pump and was excited to get there when erect. I was using it at max pressure and developed what looks like bruising on my glans. I’ve taken a few weeks off of traction with the Phallosan which also exerts a vacuum on my glans.

I’ve noticed a reduction in girth in this pump vacation

Two days ago I tried a gentle pump session and again raised the discoloration on my glans. Premature expansulation..

I’m going to give it another week.

In other news I’m still experiencing ED to some degree and have bloodwork scheduled for later this week. I still suspect that TRT is the final straw in giving me issues. Being 60 doesn’t help but I’m in excellent health otherwise. I suspect a young hot girl would solve my issues, but in the meantime bloodwork. My suspicion is that I have minor elevation in estradol from some fraction of the Test aromatizing.

TRT helped my ED, but it took several months, unlike the almost instant change I kept reading about on the web.

My experience has been the opposite.

Initially my libido skyrocketed as my natural and supplemental T combined.

Within a few months my natural production shut down and I chased correct dosage. At the same time my ability to maintain an erection became less reliable and Cialis/Viagra didn’t help.

Last bloodwork had estradol within normal range but I suspect my personal ideal range may be lower. I’m just spitballing.

My TRT doc is a woman, which is giving me pause. She’s been pretty good, but can’t truly imagine the male experience.

Anyway I’ll update as things progress. Still on PE hiatus for now.

TLDR, what’s the verdict on jelqing after pumping?

I’ve been using my Phalosan daily for about a year now, averaging 5 hours daily stretching in the “red” zone. Also my Bathmate near daily also, approx 30 minutes per session at pretty high pressure.

I’ve become accustomed to higher pressure and harder stretch.

I gotten about 1/2” of length, a little underwhelming. I’ve gotten about 1/2” of girth.

I haven’t been jelquing, mostly because I go soft fairly quickly. I’d like to gain length and am considering pumping to engorge and then jelqing. Is there a downside?
