How often do you pump for practice?

[Ralphiem]

Daily? Every other day?

Just got a new Encore Deluxe, loading cone works great. And you don't apply the constricting ring until after you're pumped and erect.

I dont use a ring for 'practice'

I have found the Encore to be a 'hard' kind of pump' It 'hurts' when you reach your potential.

Ralphi,

Some hurt (a little) is good I suppose. Those pumps don't have a guage but are self-limiting. I just don't know what the limit is. I actually bought a vacuum guage to hook in to it to see -- but that was a year ago and I have not gotten it hooked in yet ... oh well .. maybe this week then.

It did hurt some when you first get stretched to max -- but after a few weeks and months your member will get used to it and you'll go right up to max without having to stop.

And also be sure to make a mark on the tube for your current 'Max' - either scratch it on or magic marker it. You will probably see that you will exceed that initial point fairly quick .. by how much -- only willie knows.

For me I always pump and put on the rings. I almost never just pump and release or pump and hold...
(also pumping and holding can give you some edema -- mushrooming around the frenelum -- so you don't want to do that too much. Mostly harmless but looks funny.

I like to take it out and wave it about to the missus so ... leaving it in is not an option.

I have both, a "VED" and a pump with a gauge. I have been using the pump with a gauge for about 20 minutes a day, five days a week for about 4.5 years. In this regard, I have perminantely increased the girth of my erection by over 1/2 inch.

Now when I pump for twenty minutes, I can temporarily increase my girth by an additional 1/2 inch. When i have the time andI want to pleasure my wife with a nicely engorged erection, I pump for twenty minutes at 5 inches of mercury on the vacuum gauge and then switch to the VED to slip on my Osbon tension band to achieve a hard, fat erection. When I am in a hurry, I use the VED for a minute or two and forgo the additional girth.

I have a Vacurect and pump daily for about 20 minutes. I deflate around mid-point and pump back up again. This is only for therapy so I never use the rings.

I use an Augusta Medical pump with rings for an erection suitable for intercourse, twice a week. Daily, I use a Prelude for erection therapy, about 15 minutes a day.

I have pumped for a number of years. approximately 45 to 50 minutes a session. Pump for 10 miutes release and repeat. Take about 2 minutes in between to massage. I do this 3 times a week. I use a sex shop pump. there are more cylinder sizes and lengths. My erections are approx. 7.5" normally and I'm over 8" in the tube. It's great excercise for your penis and there will be growth in girth.

I started pumping daily for 20min with a medical pump...about 4-5 months ago and the results have been fantastic...the firmness and ease I can obtain and maintain erections is noticeably improved...I highly recommend daily VED therapy or every other day for a minimum of 15min...as I have stated on this forum before, the Peyronnes forum outlines devices and protocols to use STRICTLY for therapy....Keep pumping boyz.......
