Grateful for all of the advice as always!
Welp, Week 1, here's what I ran into:
(1) I got up to about 7Hg but stayed at a steady 5Hg, depressurizing frequently for safety. At the end of the session, the bottom of my foreskin was noticeably swollen. Paraphimosis, Google called it. Is that the same thing as that fluid retention that people have been talking about? Most places I looked said if it was caused by pumping it should go away within 24 hours, though it was a bit of a nausea-inducing shock to see it so unexpectedly when the session seemed to go so well. That and

the last orgasm stung a bit. Fluid retention sounded a lot less disturbing than it looked. Guess I'll be trying that silisleeve again; might have to cut it like Lightning mentioned. When I get thin, and I don't have a big thing of fat down there, then I'm sure the full-length silisleeve should work better for me. How long should I give the swelling before trying again, do you think?
(2) Shaving closer definitely helps retain pressure. I bought a Philips Norelco Bodygroomer 7000. Works like a charm. That and I think the new parts made a difference too. I bought it for my body but I think I might get a second one for my face. (I don't wanna use the same razor on my face as for my body.)
(3) I don't feel a lot of pain from the pressure, but my dick often sticks to the plastic walls. I know this can probably be alleviated with the sleeve, but I'm thinking perhaps I'll need to lube the walls too? Or is there something else that can be done?
(4) Since I'm pumping along with physical fitness I guess I ought to ask...does the same kind of diet you'd want to use for fitness also apply to a penis enlargement routine? I've been limiting sugars, consuming moderate complex carbs on cardio days and proteins on muscle days. Surely the same healthy food should help the penis, yeh?
Gonna get some shuteye; TGIF tomorra.
