pumping
In
this process, you place a sealed container or cylinder over
your pump area, and then the pumping process removes part of
the air inside the pumping cylinder, creating a Partial
Vacuum. This creates a difference between the cylinder
pressure and the ambient or surrounding pressures on the rest
of your body. The area outside the cylinder is under normal
air pressure, which is just under 15 pounds per square inch at
sea level. The area inside the cylinder will be less,
depending on the level of vacuum. Blood and body fluids in
your system are at the normal pressure, so they push toward
and try to expand into the low pressure area inside your
cylinder, around your penis and/or testicles. However, those
areas in your genitalia are not open chambers like balloons,
they are tissue. Fluids enter and leave tissue slowly. In
pumping, the primary enlargement is not accomplished with
blood as it is in an erection; it comes from the increase of
clear fluids in the fine tissues. This fluid is slowly drawn
from the blood as it passes, and through the lymphatic system
just beneath the skin. This process can't be rushed without
creating injury, so patience is a fundamental requirement of
safe pumping,
The
enlargement of pumping is almost all temporary in nature. When
you remove the cylinder, these tissues are now stretched and
over extended creating a higher pressure inside them than
normal, and thus the process reverses- with blood and fluids
returning to the normal levels. This process takes from 18-48
hours. The potential for any lasting enlargement comes from
the stretching of these tissues, so that in the return process
they are not quite as small as they were before, and to some
degree from the cell replacement and healing processes,
similar but not comparable to what occurs in muscle from
weightlifting.

There
are many ways you can injure yourself pumping, some minor,
some not. Here's a rundown on the more common risks and kinds
of injury.
If
you apply Excess Vacuum trying to speed the process,
damage to the tissues is automatic. The damage can be as
simple as the hickey we have all experienced, but it can also
do serious damage resulting in permanent injury. A hickey is
small, and only skin deep- but it's actually a haemorrhage (a
rupture and internal bleeding) of the capillary vessels in the
skin. In pumping, we are dealing with a much larger area, and
doing so in such a way that the pressure differential affects
deep internal tissues and larger blood vessels that a hickey
can't reach. The longer the excess vacuum level lasts
and/or the greater the pressure differential, the greater the
damage. Once tissue is damaged, reducing the vac level does
not end the haemorrhaging, it only slows it- healing can't
begin until pressures normalize.
The
best results are achieved with low pressures and patience
anyway, so excess vacuum should always be avoided. What is
excess? Because different people have different elasticity and
toughness in their tissue, the maximum safe level varies some.
Obviously, tissue damage of any kind is an indication of
excess. So is pain, bruising, purple colour or irregular
redness.
Most
pumpers find that they begin to show skin level damage around
5" of vacuum and above. Vacuum levels are expressed in
inches of mercury on most gauges, with a total vacuum being
29.5". One PSI of vacuum is about 2" of mercury, so
a vac level of 5" is the same as a 2-1/2 PSI pressure
differential. How much is that? It's not difficult to create a
15" vacuum just with oral suction- so it's very easy to
damage yourself without trying hard!
Too
Much Heat causes another type of injury. If you pump wet (filling the cylinder
partly with warm water to make tissue relax) and the water is
too warm, another type of injury is likely to occur- blisters
on the "head" of the penis where the skin is
especially tender. The water does not have to "feel
like it's burning you" to cause this! While pumping,
you are already adding pressure beneath the skin, pushing it
out. Skin becomes weaker when wet, and weaker still when it's
temperature rises. Combine these and that excess can turn the
entire penis head into one big blister- a nasty experience you
don't want to go through! Use a water temperature that is warm
to the touch, just a degree or two above body temp. Most
importantly, pay attention- watch what's going on! After you
have learned your capacity, you will know what you can and
cannot do.
If
you Restrict Circulation of your blood through the pump
area, cell death and nerve damage can occur. Ways in which you
may cause this include using any kind of a ridged constraint
(cock-ring, for example) while pumping, particularly inside
the pump. It can also be done to a lesser degree by having a
narrow edge at the seal point, which can create enough
pressure on your pubic area that it reduces blood flow through
the skin and underlying tissues. Last, by keeping the pump in
place for long periods of time at strong vacuum, you reduce
the oxygen delivery to some tissues, and this can result in a
loss of sensitivity and nerve function.
Solutions-
Never restrict the blood flow, it's what allows the
enlargement to take place by delivering the fluids needed. Use
a wide, soft seal on the pump that will distribute the seal
pressure over a larger area. Pump a while, then remove the
pump, massage the area, give it a break- then begin again.
This produces better results than continuous pumping anyway
due to improving the circulation.
One
other note: If you look at the extreme photo groups and think
you want to do it, be very sceptical and very cautious. Many
of the photos on line are fakes. Of those that aren't, it's
often obvious that they have damaged themselves significantly
in the process. If you want your genitalia to still be
functional and attractive next year- avoid the extremes!

You
can buy a wide variety of equipment- some good, some not so
good. You can also make your own. That process can be simple
and inexpensive, or as complex as you like. Let's start with a
brief review of the commercial cylinders. Almost all are made
of some kind of plastic- usually acrylic tubing. Quality
cylinders are made from cast material. Cheap ones may be made
of extruded stock, which is much cheaper. It does not stand
up, don't waste you money on an extruded plastic
cylinder.

A
"single stage" cylinder is a straight piece of tube
with a cap on one end and an open end on the other- hopefully
with a soft seal ring. The tube has a fitting for a hose. It
may be plain, perhaps having a push-on extension and a little
shut-off valve, or it may have quick-disconnect couplings with
a built in check valve. A single stage is usually used for
pumping the penis only, and the size is typically from
1-1/2" to 2-1/2", with various lengths available.
A
"two-stage" tube has the same features, but is used
for pumping the penis and balls together. It uses a smaller
piece of tube for the entrance, then a larger one for the main
body. Why? Two reasons. If you pump to a large size, you need
more than 4" diameter inside the body- possibly as much
as 6"! But a 4" is about all you can use on the seal
end. You can't get a 5 or 6" straight tube in your crotch
comfortably, let alone get it to seal. Worse, when you pump
with a large opening against the body, the pubic mound
engorges along with everything else. When the cylinder is
removed, the genitals are part of a large bulge and don't hang
or swing free as they do normally. So the main reason for the
use of a two stage is to gain comfort and seal reliability
while reducing the pubic bulge. The downside of two-stage
cylinders are these: When you are pumped larger than the first
stage or neck size, you have to pump yourself out of the tube
with pressure instead of vacuum. To an extent, that limits the
advantage by reversing the process. Next, it usually makes a
less durable device because it has more joints in the plastic.
A
third type of device is like a clam shell- two pieces that
separate. They are irregular in shape rather than cylindrical.
These are either cast in a mold from liquid acrylic resins or
are vacuum formed. They have a lengthwise seam that needs a
seal. The "Monster-tube" is of this type. What's
good about this approach is that the tube can have a small
neck with a very large body, which you open to get out of, as
opposed to pumping back. The disadvantages are that more
sealing surfaces make leakage a bigger problem, and the
devices tend to be substantially more costly.
Commercial
cylinders start at about $40, run to $300. Good acrylic
two-stage cylinders are available in the $90-$150 range.
Specialty cylinders like the PumpToys 3-stage run a little
more but are much easier to use. To find sources for various
cylinder types.
The
term "Pump" actually refers to the mechanical device
used to create the vacuum. Many hand pumps look similar to
small bicycle pumps and work the same way, except their valves
are reversed. There are numerous electric pumps on the market
as well. However, the level of vacuum needed to injure
yourself is quite low, you can easily do it with oral
suction.... your own lung power. So, fancy things aren't
needed; high power or volume isn't needed. One of the least
expensive and easiest vacuum pumps to find is the Mity-vac, a
device with a squeeze handle and a gauge, made of plastic.
It's designed as a vacuum system testing tool and brake
bleeding tool for auto mechanics. It works very well, and
costs $30 at most automotive stores. It's also available in a
hard-to-find (but more durable) model made of aluminium,
called the Silver-line Mity-vac, usually costing $60-70. The
Mity-vac holds the vacuum each time you pump it, and has a
release valve built in, so it can connect directly to a plain
cylinder without any other type of shut-off.

The
simplest pumping device is the STJ, or Sun Tea Jar. This is a
glass gallon jar with a wide mouth, sold virtually everywhere
in the spring and summer for $3-4. Wal-mart, K-mart, hardware
stores all carry them. This jar can be converted into a
combination cylinder quite easily. Complete
information
on making an STJ cylinder is in our library.
Simple
pump cylinders have been made from everything that has the
required shape- Plastic drinking glasses, bottles, pitchers,
canister jars and so on. Most of these are chosen because they
are a pre-formed container, leaving the maker to construct a
vac opening and a sealing method. Most home-built projects
take a fair amount of time, and don't produce a reliable or
durable product. However, should you wish to build your own-
the STJ information link above will give you a good base of
information to work with.

If
you have never pumped before, you may see substantial distortion of the penis as the swelling goes down- which may
scare the hell out of you. Not to worry, it's very temporary;
you will look normal tomorrow...
If
you have extra tender skin, you may have trouble with blisters
popping up easily even when pressure and temperature are
right. One solution is to make a protective cap for the penis
head from a small balloon, like a 7-9" round size. Blow
it up once to stretch it, then deflate and cut it off smoothly
where the neck and body meet. Fold the balloon lengthwise, and
clip about 1/16" off the tip to vent it. Stretch the
large opening out and pull it over the penis head, letting the
edges roll in behind the ridge. You want that opening to be
just tight enough to hold the bulb in place. If it's too
tight, trim it further- too loose, cut another one. This gives
that tender skin extra support, compressing it against the
internal pressure. It may take a little practice to learn just
where to cut the balloon to get it to stay in place without
being too tight at the neck. They don't last too long, but
they're cheap.

The term "seal" refers to the integrity or air tightness
of the cylinder to the body, OR to a separate seal device,
either homemade or a soft plastic ring which makes that joint
close better, such as Pumptoys' Precision Seals.
(1)
You haven't shaved, you are trying to seal over hair.
(2) There is a foreign object between the cylinder and your
body or seal- most likely a hair as well.
(3) Your seal is damaged, having a scrape, hole or cut in it.
(4) The rim of your cylinder is damaged.
(5) The seal can't stay in place on the cylinder due to poor
fit, deterioration or vacuum level.
(6) You aren't using any lubricant around the seal area, and
skin friction is pulling the seal in.
Lubricants
are used to reduce skin friction and increase seal
reliability. A variety of products are used, by personal
preference. As a rule, avoid lubricants that are
petroleum-based, such as Vaseline, as they will damage acrylic
tubes over time. They will also damage plastic seal materials
in a fairly short time. Pumptoys Creme Lubricant
is designed specifically as a pumping lube, and is highly
recommended. However, even vegetable oil is widely used, as
are aloevera and vitamin-E lotions. Just be sure the contents
do not include petroleum or mineral base oils.
By
cleaning your cylinder and equipment after each use, you can
remove any lubricant that might be harmful, and you sanitize
it to prevent bacterial problems. Clean your vacuum hose and
pump inside- especially if you use oral suction; as this hose
can develop a scum-like lining that becomes a breeding
ground.

Size
is relative to lots of things. Some people just have more
elasticity than others and will pump larger. Some will pump
quicker than others. If you pump regularly over a period of
time, you will see both size and speed of enlargement improve
dramatically, because you have conditioned the tissue to do
that. Avoid competing, and avoid excess- work with what your
body wants to do.
Is
there a way to permanently enlarge? Yes and no. Permanent
penis enlargement is not common in significant degrees, but
does happen. Permanent testicle enlargement and scrotal
enlargement usually happens with regular pumpers, and much of
that seems to be retained if they quit pumping altogether.
But, without exception- permanent gain is the result of a
planned regimen performed faithfully over a period of time,
and it is usually accomplished with a combination of objective
pumping and special exercises. Watch the library for articles
written by successful permanent-gainers.

The
term refers to a long scrotal sack and low-hanging balls. One
method of building low-hangers is to combine bulk pumping
(using a large capacity cylinder like the ASTJ), and stretch
pumping (with a special objective cylinder like the LongJohnny)
and alternating between pump schedules and weight or tension
use. Bulk pumping always uses large diameter cylinders.
Stretch pumping uses a medium-large single stage that is sized
to do some enlarging, then pull the testicles (and penis)
down. Pumptoys Long-Johnny is specifically designed for that
purpose. The bulk pumping stretches the softer tissues,
enlarging the scrotal sack; the stretch pumping works on the
ligaments and suspensory tissues that hold the testicles.
About
alternating pumping and tension sessions: After the main swell
of pumping has reduced, there is a period where you have a
loose and long scrotum. If this is prevented from receding by
weights or tension devices, the regenerative process that is
always going on inside us tends to rebuild your body more to
the new configuration. One other note on this objective is
temperature maintenance. Cold makes your scrotum and testicles
recede. Keeping them warm, especially while stretching helps
substantially. For example, a wool sock foot worn over the
scrotum retains body heat, while weights (worn over the sock
for comfort) maintain and encourage stretch.
Top
Achieving
growth or change of any kind on a permanent basis requires a
good system, and adherance to a regimen or schedule in using
it. Pumping is part of the process you are using to promote
the change- but nothing permanent happens from occasional
efforts, except damage if you are careless. Of course, most of
us find that it feels really good, and like the looks- even
when they are temporary. Besides, it's hard to pack a set of
15" balls into your everyday clothes!
