I think as long as you're hard going into the tube you're fine. I don't see how staying hard will prevent fluid from building up under pressure. Try using lower pressure, or there's a new method where you wear a condom while pumping, there's a bigass thread on it at Thunders.
I agree completely.
If you have a good erection when you go in, you're able to use less pressure to start. And if you are hard to start, and have a comfortable pressure for a while, you don't get as much fluid buildup.
When I have gone in hard, I also have much less problems with my scrotum at the bottom side of the base of my penis getting sucked in. And you have a longer period of time before you need to pump more pressure into the tube.
If you go in flaccid you end up having to use more pressure to get hard in the tube and you really struggle to stop your scrotum going into the tube.
I also find that when I have gone in a bit soft, and I need to use too much pressure too early, when my scrotum gets sucked in a bit at the base of the tube, it kind of makes it difficult to get hard in the tube anyway, as the pressure tends to pull on the soft skin of your scrotum instead of the shaft on your penis.
Like AlloyCG just said, if you're overzealous with the pump, and really start using too much pressure that's when you tend to get problems.
It maybe because people see their cock big in the tube and find it hard to resist making it even bigger as soon as they can with a lot of pressure.
There is no need to use a high pressure. If I do, then my penis seems to resist a bit, and it gets more difficult to get a "real" erection, but easier to get an erection that is mainly due to a lot of fluid build up.
If you shave around your penis you tend to get a better seal. And when you get a better seal you don't have to pump so much pressure into the tube to start with.
You are always told to use a lot of lubricant. I have recently discovered that too much lubricant was causing me prolems. What tended to happen when I used too much lubricant was that my scrotum got sucked into the tube too easily. If you put your tube onto a reasonably smooth part of your skin such as the palm of your hand, you find you get a strong seal.
I found that using too much lubricant on the bottom of the base of my penis sucked my scrotum in, and what seemed to be happening there is that it was ruining any good seal I could get, because the scrotum's skin is very uneven with ridges all over. the more I pumped to try and get a good seal again, my scrotum would get pulled on again, so obviously the skin ridges move a bit more and change shape, so new folds of skin create different areas of leaking.
Basically keep your scrotum out of the tube, or you lose your seal, and it's harder to keep a good shaped erection. You tend to end up with a bloated penis base and a weaker erection in the tube. You try to compensate by adding even more pressure, but it doesn't really help the situation. You end up having to use way too high a pressure, and a big fluid buildup penis with a donut on the end.
I'm not sure if I've written that clearly and have just made it sound complicated....So I hope that makes sense.
