those of you who just started pumping - do you stop because the penis hurts from stretching or do you stop because the bulb gets hard and you can't pump any more ?

Just kinda started. Once a day for 45-60 minutes. Fighting the pump & the pain together but both get easier by the day. Next week or so i like to go to twice a day but hard to find the time. But feel the need to try stretch. Could use to get back to original size. No pain no gain !

I started two days ago. I stop because of the pain. I usually wait 10 minutes or so and pump a little more. Don't get me wrong, that pump does get stiff!

I'm supposed to pump it up twice a day, so I'll probably start waking up earlier to do it in the morning and evening.

At 155 days i have found I can still pump even with the pump seemingly 'full'
I now have to use 2 hands with the second hand squeezing the first.... Like pliers..this process goes on for 2 years if you have a Titan. Yes thats right.... 2 years of pain in the knob to reach max girth and length. The pump does become a good deal more pliable with regular squeezing.

Smetro, great article. I'm guessing the same applies to an ams, (same body parts & similar mechanism) but have been unable to find a similar ams study. I'm proceeding as though it does. No complaints as is but could always use extra length.

Trust me, it gets easier as time goes by. I had my implant Feb 15th and it will take several months to recover and the soreness goes away. Hang in there and do the best you can. It does get better with time.

I have an AMS CX and I can pump indefinitely due to a safety release in the implant that prevents over inflation. 30 good pumps and I'm hard and ready but you can keep pumping. I discovered this doing my 'stretching routine'. I added. 5 to my flaccid and .5 to my erection. Now 6" flaccid and 7" erection.

I figure any reason to play with our gear has to be a good thing and I think Donnie has is covered for AMS with his stretching routine.
The Titan bulb gets very very 'full' and difficult to squeeze but just over 5 months post op I can still make my glans and just behind it hurt... not a lot of fun but it would seem to be part of the process.
Much like Donnie; I am now 6" flaccid, mighty close to 7" erect with a slowly increasing girth of a fraction under 6" about an inch away from the base but obviously not that girthy just back from the glans

It does get easier. I'm 4 months post implant. Today a young professional girl was pumping me 10 minutes after I first met her. Her (girl) boss told her all about me and what I liked. The girl was enthusiastic about trying and did not pinch a ball at all. She dug it, I dug it. I worked her hard for the whole hour. (OK, I rested a few times)..... I could never have done this pre implant..... She got a nice tip! It does get easier.....))

Donnie, would that same safety release apply to my LGX? Just curious because I can pump to a very usable erection but can also keep pumping. My uro told me just in passing that it was not possible to damage anything by over pumping. But he did not elaborate further.
