Long time listener, first time caller...or something like that. Ok, so I just bought a Bathmate X30 and a Cal Exotics Maximum Results Pump. I am having trouble maintaining a seal on the Bathmate, but that seems to be a common problem, and I'm confident I'll resolve it. My question stems mainly from my use of the MRP. First of all, let me say I have never used anything...done anything...even though I joined this forum years ago. So I have no frame of reference but the MRP is awesome. The seal is tight and I even get a very loud "POP" when I exit the stage so to speak...
I've noticed that the general advice regarding pumps, both water and air-based, is to pump almost to the point of discomfort and then hold it for several minutes. Release the pressure then repeat. I realize the tissues that compromise the penis are not muscle, but I'm wondering if applying bodybuilding principles wouldn't work perhaps better. I'm sure this issue has been brought up before, but I didn't find any threads that seemed to satisfactorily address this issue. So the penis is not the same as a muscle such as the bicep, but they are both tissue that expands with a "deluge" of blood then contract after the blood leaves. Muscle is damaged in the process, repairs itself, and in the process grows larger. From what I've read about PE, it's a similar process. I'm only talking about the physiology of pumping. I understand it's a different tactic regarding things like stretching...where you're trying to elongate the skin and tissues like people do with earlobes and such.
So my question is...it seems intuitive to me, but I could have picked the wrong week to sniffing glue...that the PE pumping technique that works best might be the one that replicates the strategy of bodybuilding. There is some use of constriction in bodybuilding...there are a small number of bodybuilders who experiment with tying off a body part so that blood rushes into the area and can't escape until they release the constriction, but 99.9% of bodybuilding follows the template of fill with blood...evacuate the blood...fill with blood...evacuate the blood....etc. So would it be a better technique to pump in the same fashion? I know this wouldn't be feasible with the Bathmate in its current design, but for traditional pumps, pump up to a certain number on the gauge and release....pump to a certain number and release...and repeat this for a set number of reps. Your goal is to just move a little bit higher over time. You might not get a higher number the next workout or even after the next 2 workouts, but ideally in a month that 7.5 maximum expansion is 7.6 and in a year it's maybe 8.0. That way you can monitor yourself and avoid the problems that result from going too high like blood blisters and such, and you always know where you're at and what you're shooting for. Just curious. I am just at the beginning, but after only a few sessions I'm kinda digging it. Hopefully, some length and girth gains will appear over time, but if not that's cool too. It doesn't feel too bad, I got a nice gift for the lady for a few hours after, and it certainly beats getting run over by a bus.
