Engorging but not extending

Postby CanGetItUpButNoMore » Sun Jul 24, 2022 10:22 pm

New to pumping - just tried for the first time tonight. Normally, my penis reaches about 6" erect or stretched flaccid. I was expecting the pump to pull it out about that amount. But, not so.

The negative pressure (even to the point of significant discomfort, which I know not to do) only brings it out to a length of about 4". But the base, about the first 1.5", swells to almost fill the tube.

Does this sound familiar? Or am I doing something radically wrong?

Try taking a little Viagra an hour beforehand and or think erotic thoughts or have your S.O. put on a display or talk dirty, etc. It will help tell the valves to open up and let blood in.

If you're new to it, you might want to check the base area again. That swelled up part might be part of your scrotal skin getting pulled into the tube. That's how it goes for me. I ordered a donut sleeve, so hopefully that will help. You might need the same.

Good idea. I'll try to get fully extended before inserting into the tube and see what happens.

Interesting theory, but I don't think that's happening. I'm using the Encore VED which comes with a protective shield (a round rubber piece of plastic with a hole in the center). I am using the shield and it seems to be protecting the surrounding skin. But I will check more closely.

Getting erect first, before inserting, makes a difference. Although I think it kind of misses the point if I have to get hard to use it. The experiment continues.

Well I wish I had that option. I can't get erect without the VED or injections. It's not going to happen! I was not suggesting you get erect first. What I meant was that some sort of sexual stimulation while pumping helps me a bunch. Whether it's manual, verbal or visual. As long as it sexually stimulates my mind. Otherwise I can pump pretty much endlessly and get only very little inflation and that's with difficulty. But if I'm having sexual thoughts/daydreams or whatever, it seems to allow the blood to get pulled in MUCH easier. I guess it's a bit odd that I can't get any kind of erection with any sort of stimulation without pumping or injections but I need the stimulation which does make pumping much easier. I hesitate to suggest porn but if solo try looking at sexy nudes while pumping.

I admit that it is problematic if pumping just for therapy because you end up with a well lubed erect dick while mentally sexually stimulated. You'll be wanting to pop a ring on the thing and finish. Maybe you'll have better control.

Good luck.

I do appreciate the idea because, so far. It's not working at all unless I start with an erection.

OP checking back in with an update.

D'oh! I should have followed the directions. I didn't observe that my penis was encountering any friction with the inner walls of the tube so I didn't consider that lubrication was necessary. I had tried a little lube but that didn't help. But I just tried fully lubng my penis and that has made a huge difference. From a start of 30-50% erect, the VED pulled my penis out to its full length, and then some. It extended about ¾ inch longer than it's ever achieved before.

I'm quite surprised that the lube-less approach hinders my erection as much as it obviously does. For anyone else who's seen this problem, try super lubing.
