Penis feels suffocated by pump sleeve

[Lost Sheep]

It's much better to have your fat pad sucked in than to invite the boys to join the fun.

I can understand that completely. I just don't want to pinch off or kink any blood flow down there. I kind of wonder sometimes about the cylinder pressing in so deep. I know we have a certain amount of fat and skin, but did anybody else ever wonder about damaging something?

For the length of time the VED is applied, the skin and fat are unlikely to be damaged. Most of those tissues are pretty elastic and resilient.

I suppose if one were to fall down on the VED, a compression cut could happen, but that is unlikely and the only scenario I can imagine that risks injury.

If you were using ring(s) wouldn't that help reduce the "hinge effect" ?

I get a good seal by coating the bottom edge/lip of the pump tube with a water based lubricating jelly (like KY). When the bottom edge makes contact with my groin, there is a good seal even without a sleeve. Indeed, if I induce the vacuum, then try to pull the tube off (before releasing the vacuum), the skin is pulled outward and you can feel the suction. I do not use a sleeve. Keeping the groin area well trimmed of hair is the most important preparation.
