Gentlemen,
There is much discussion regarding pumping, the number of pumps required, and cycling. It occurred to me that I should document exactly what I was feeling as I added pumps, which I've been doing in my ongoing journal at my Dropbox link. I made an updated video yesterday demonstrating pumping, which is also at my Dropbox link:

50 days post-surgery (7 weeks + 1 day)
15 days post-activation
I thought it would be helpful to document exactly what happened as I pumped, at this point in my cycling, since I can now do totally full pumps (with some discomfort as they progress), followed by partial pumps. I press down as hard as I can for partial pumps, using two hands to squeeze in all I can until there is further stretching, which allows for easier pumps. I have found that pressing very hard reduces the time it takes to get to the desired hardness, which, for the purpose of cycling to regain (or even gain) size, straightens out my dick and gets it less twisted. The pump numbers noted are full or almost full.
20 pumps-- pretty easy
30 pumps - got me pretty hard, and technically usable, but would buckle pretty easily without using hands
33 pumps - harder to pump (at least at the moment)
37 pumps - pretty hard, but I could still bend my dick by using two hands to bend it. Guessed that it could be a good "party length" to last for many hours.
40 pumps - Nice and hard, but not to the "exploding" feeling that I can get to if I spend the time, and potentially deal with discomfort
45 pumps - Some of the "exploding" feeling, but not the hardest it has been
47 pumps - this is the point when my dick feels really big.
55 pumps - Total sold steel. Not bendable with two hands.
57 pumps - Moved to the sling to fuck (the best exercise, when done while rock-hard).
60 pumps - Added three more after just the time to go to the sling. I happily left it right there for the entire fuck, which was really aggressive, as I purposely bent in every direction as far as possible, stretching as much as I could, regardless of it being very uncomfortable. (This is the important time to be able to get stretched and straightened out.) I had not been able to "pump and forget" like this for at least a year of leaking saline.
The fuck only lasted an hour because of my husband's time constraints. That was after almost an hour of pumping up harder and harder. I deflated after a couple of hours for an hour rest, and then resumed cycling to the max for another 1-1/2 hours.
