Hello everyone, here are some updates on my journey focused mainly on my pumping and attempts at using the lengthmaster.
So as far as the lengthmaster goes, I'm still struggling with it a bit. My problem is the wrapping, and while I have found a way to not make it super uncomfortable, it doesn't feel like I can exert that much strength before the wrapping causes disccomfort to my sausage. What I have found is that if I leave the foreskin the way it naturally is, I mainly stretch the skin, so I have to retract it. However, this poses a couple of issues. First off, the theraband that I use as my first wrapping layer has to be significantly lower than the head, so that when the pulling brings it higher it doesnt pull at the glands, which can be painful. The second problem is that as much as I try, the foreskin will always try to find its way over the head, especially when I pull a little harder. This also causes the wrapping to follow.
My technique that is working best right now is:
- I fold the theraband a couple times into a thinner strip, and use that to wrap a couple centimeters below the ring of the foreskin. This way, the theraband won't touch the glands.
- After that, I take some time to adjust the skin below the theraband, and pull it down to make sure there is as much loose skin there as possible, to avoid unnecessary skin stretching.
- Finally, I apply the bandage and tighten it with athletic tape on top.
This allows me to use the lengthmaster semi consistently, but I'm still not satisfied with my method for the above reasons.
On to the pumping, with the exception of discoloration, which I understand will go away in time, I'm satisfied with the resutls so far. I haven't measured, but I can see a slight difference, and I find the whole routine very therapeutic (and enjoyable) and do it almost daily. Right now, I do a warm up set at around 7 hg, then a couple of sets at 8-9, depending on how I feel. Sets last, 5-6 minutes, and between them I edge and milk my penis, as I understand it helps with the discoloration, and helps me maintain an erection. Jelqing felt awkward no matter how many times I tried it, and since girth is not my main goal, I have given it a break for now. Inside the tube I reach about 18.2 cm, and when outside, but still pumped I can eye it at around 17.5 or so. I remember reading that this is what you can expect down the line, so I am excited for that.
Two problems that have appeared are the following, which I will use pictures for better explanation:
- When inside the tube, and pumping at higher vacuums, about half of my penis seems to fill the tube. Because of my curve, this causes the head to be very strongly pressed against the wall, to the point where it looks bruised after, and is a little painful. Pain is alleviated by using lube, but is still there.
- The other issue is that after pumping forms a ring under my glands. This happens regardless of hg, although it gets bigger at higher hg, and is especially prominent when using a ring after pumping. It's a little tough, but doesn't hurt at all, and honestly doesn't bother me, but I wanted to get the opinion of anyone who might know what causes it, and if it's something I should avoid and how.
Thank you brothers!
