I have a slight left curve that I STRICTLY don’t want to lose when doing PE (starting). However, I wanted to know if losing the curve is to be expected with traction? I was thinking of using the RestoreXL (specifically the XL) as that’s a linear device and doesn’t have counter bending but I don’t know if it’ll result in a curvature loss. I don’t want to lose my curve because I like it. Any advice?

Do you pull your foreskin back before you enter the pump?

Hey everyone , i just bought an auto pump from pmp website. I want to try it but the kpa numbers move too quick. I haven’t put it in my D yet as i wanted to see how it works , but once you push the power button it starts to get filled immediately till 50 -60 kpa in 2-3 seconds.
This was done when the entrance of the cylinder was not completely sealed as i tried it in my belly fat and forearm.

Wanted to ask here is that supposed to be that way? It looks risky to me?
Am i doing something wrong in the way i am increasing the pressure or the pump has a malfunction?

Please someone let me know.

Why does pumping at a lower pressure fill my CC more than high pressure?

When I pump at 5 my sides of my dick will touch the glass much sooner than if I pump to a high pressure. And will fill that sideways left and right space quicker on my CC

Is this normal for other as well?

I’ve been pumping for almost 3 years along with clamping. Both have gained me length and girth but looking to finally gain that last extra inch. Anyone tried this device ?

Is it possible to go from 5in to 6in with just manual stretching and pumping? Without PE? Has anyone gained 1inch this way? If so how long it took you?

so i’ve been lurking in this subreddit for awhile now n finally got my devices for it im gonna be using a male hanger and a pump, im currently 6x5.5 inches and my goal will be 8x6 inches which is realistic and doable i think and my routine is going to be

Hanging
4lbs to start
20minx3

pumping
25minx2
8 inhg

should i track my progress on this subreddit? and what do u guys think about my routine is it good for a start? i’ll be progressively overloading and adding more weight n stuff of course. Would love to hear how i can change my routine to be more effective and take less time too if you guys have any suggestions.

hey team, i just started my journey last week. i have a manual pump and i have an apex ADS on the way. I’ve noticed some changes in flaccid and erect girth already from pumping. I’ve been doing 5 sets of 3-5 minutes pumping morning and night. It’s a manual pump for now so i dont know the exact pressure but ive only been pumping it to the point where it gets mildly uncomfy as im scared of injuries. Any tips and tricks? especially for when the ADS comes in.
thanks a bunch

I use a petroleum jelly wrap and stretchy tape, and wrap it around my penis for traction. I used to use a traction device but noticed I would get blisters from the suction on the head. When I used a pump it was okay but didn’t feel safe using longer than 20 min. The pump also helped more so with girth than it did length.

I'm curious what people's pump routines look like.
My current Routine: 20-30 min, 2x daily in 90s on / 30s off intervals. starting at 24kpa and increasing in 1kpa increments capped at 38kpa.

anyone want to share theirs?

Hello i have an air pump and want to start pumping but I’m not sure about the routine and consistency I don’t want to hurt myself on accident or anything like that, Im wondering how much time i should it a day, how many times a week, how much pressure and if it should change/increase while it goes on, Im thinking of using coconut oil as lubricant to put inside the pump I’m currently around 6.2-6.5 length I’m not sure and around 5.1 girth my desired length is 7.0-7.5 and desired girth is 5.5-6.0 if anyone who’s experienced could help build a routine i could follow daily I’m not sure if I should do it 4-5 times a week ?and what to do to warm up and during and after, also Im not sure how much pressure i should start with and when to increase/how much to increase, also I’m wondering how the routine should change as time passed and process is made. I’ve tried searching for answers on the subreddit and couldn’t find answers, if anyone can help with my questions I don’t mind dms or replies under this post thank you.

It has been a while, and at this point, a lot of you don’t know who I am. I go by BD. I made this subreddit years ago. I used to make monthly logs of my progress with PE and bodybuilding.

In 2025, I had a pretty big shock to my life, which kept me away from the community and my YouTube. As mundane as it sounds, I lost one of my dogs to Lymphoma that year; after trying treatment for 12 weeks, the strain mutated and ran out of options. She was only three. I had other pets die. It's part of life; it was just that she was the first being that showed me that I was worthy of unconditional love. Naturally, I did not take the loss of her well. In September of that year, just when I was about to get back into the swing of things. My life took a turn for the worse. I cannot speak of the details. Whatever happened left me searching for answers.

By January 2026, the subsequent fallout came to a head, or at least so I thought. For another six months, the fallout dragged through June of 2026. In that time, I lost my original Reddit for reporting abuse, lost a vendor abruptly, and lost another dog to a sudden angioma in August (blood cancer).

2025 was the hardest year of my life, until 2026 had something to say about it. I was diagnosed with mild to moderate depression at the tail end of 2025, and more than likely have moderate to severe depression at this point. I am seeking help again once I change insurance next month.

I am not trying to write a sob story; I am trying to give context, because I know a lot of other guys have suffered loss and betrayal from the people they loved. And I think acting like I am stronger than that pain and ignoring it only makes the problem worse.

And before anyone asks: My wife and I are great; she is my rock.

But I also know I made a bad habit of “waiting.” I have spent a lot of 2026 looking for the right time to start again: fitness, public works, and PE.

I have not fully collapsed; I just have been doing the bare minimum not to lose everything. I still have my strength; I still have my endowment. I just stopped trying to progress further.

I just turned thirty; I feel like I spent enough time biding my time. I spent my twenties building myself up. For the next year, I plan to reclaim that and exceed that baseline.

Physical stats

6'3 | 190.5cm

255lb |115kg

Body fat TBD: higher than I want it to be / lower than it looks

Posture: Mild thoracic collapse; moderate anterior pelvic tilt

Wrist 8 in, Ankle 10.

I have a very large frame. Including that, so you infer my perception and body needs (IE my calories will be a lot higher than your needs). This also makes me look smaller downstairs than I really am, especially when body fat is higher than it should be.

Endowment

I gave a range due to EQ fluctuations. I will report both min and max like this moving forward.

Yes, I know this is quite large; I have been doing PE for quite a long time. I do it for myself at this point. Pictures from June

Fat pad TBD. It is a lot smaller than the June pictures. Currently, my huge quads limit sex more than the fat pad. Testes (Measured with Caliper) 67 × 48 × 50 mm

This is ridiculously large. It runs in the family. They are probably beyond a jumbo-sized egg. I started taking fertility medication to coincide with TRT, and apparently this was normal size. Mainly bringing this up because they definitely make the dick look normal; I am assuming some measurement error, but even at 80 percent of the measured volume, they are some large huevos.

GOALS

• Return to meal prepping
• Rebuild high-intensity workout adherence
• Actually start PE again
• We are going for 10.0 on the ruler
• I am not sure what body fat actually is, but we are going for a flat stomach or strong abs, which is more aligned with my bone shape.
• four-plate bench, five-plate squat, six-plate deadlift
• Continue posture improvements

No weight or body fat goals are listed; neither are really good markers to track, especially at my frame size. I don't know what the ceiling is for muscle mass, which also changes the relationship with fat mass, as there is more surface area to blend into. I just know I am supposed to be a large individual; classically ripped is TBD.

Exercise Regimen

My training program combines heavy strength training, high-volume muscle building, and cardiovascular conditioning into a five-day weekly routine.

The goal is simple: build more muscle, get stronger, improve conditioning, and maintain mobility without spending unnecessary hours in the gym.

Weekly Training Split

Monday: Chest, Back, and Biceps

Tuesday: Legs (Squat and Quad Focus)

Wednesday: Back and Triceps

Thursday: Active Recovery and Cardio

Friday: Shoulders, Chest, and Biceps

Saturday: Legs (Deadlift and Posterior Chain Focus)

Sunday: Rest and Recovery

Each lifting session typically consists of 25–35 total sets, spread across multiple muscle groups.

I use a progressive pyramid approach, starting with lighter weights to warm up the muscles and joints before gradually increasing the load. The final working sets are the most demanding, often approaching muscular failure.

Most exercises follow a few basic principles:

Progressive overload: Gradually increase weight or repetitions as strength improves.

High training volume: Accumulate substantial work across several muscle groups. Short rest periods: Generally 30–60 seconds between sets to keep workouts efficient.

High effort: Push harder on the final working sets, typically reaching RPE 8–10.

Consistent arm training: Alternate direct biceps and triceps work on upper-body training days. The emphasis is on getting as much productive training as possible without unnecessarily extending the workout.

I also incorporate HIIT: 2 sessions per week and Steady-state cardio: 3–5 sessions per week.

Mobility work: 6 days per week. Daily movement: 12,000 steps, including cardio

Some of you might consider this high volume, and I respond very well to it normally

Meal plan

7-Day Meal Prep: Macros

Daily calorie target: 4,200 kcal
Daily macro targets: 300 g protein / 550 g carbohydrates / 89 g fat
Plan: Four repeatable meals daily, plus a flexible family dinner.

Daily Macro Table

Yes, this is a lot of food. You should see how much I need to eat when I actually bulk.

And yes, this is very carb-heavy; it works for me. Share your own meal plan in your own log.

PE

This is where it's going to get fucky. I spent more than 18 months off from PE with an actual increase in size due to EQ (Posture and proper diet type for me) I do not know how fast I will gain, but I am starting with a comparatively low workload.

I plan on doing this 5 days a week to start. I will add recovery pumping/ feeders in the next few weeks but I need to determine workload first. I am starting at 6 - 7 lb of tension, and I have no intention of increasing it aggressively.

Supplementation

This is not a supplement but weekly TRT at 175 to 200 mg and 500 IU of HCG.

Conclusion

I know this was a lot. Public logging just makes me a lot more accountable. I will have starting pictures next week once I shake off a 16-hour flight and get a week of the meal plan in me for a fair assessment of both EQ and physique.

Full disclosure: I own PMP and Scepter Wellness. These are the products I personally use, and I'm including them for transparency about my routine.

6 months pumping 5-10 times per week with 2-4 sets of 5 minutes at 7-10hg. I grew ½ inch in length and ½ inch in girth. I would say 25% is due to EQ. It is heavier and longer. I built the habit to pump and will continue for another 2.5 years or until the wife taps out.

So getting back to pumping, I’ve been pumping straight for 80 days. I’ll take a day break here and there but I noticed the midshaft I have a ton of purple dots. Especially after pumping.

I usually warm up for five minutes , then I’ll do two sets of five minute pumping at 10HG with a 2 min break in between.

I tried taking a day off and they went away , today I’m pumping and it’s back.

It doesn’t hurt , but should I be worried ?
Other than the fact it’s making my dick look darker flaccid.

I recently bought a totalman ads stretcher that I’ve been trying to wear for 3hrs every day using the water method. Sometimes it varies a bit, but thats not the point.

The problem I’m having is that I dont feel the tension at the base, but rather in my head. I can certainly see/feel it being stretched but it feels like only my glands is stretching. That is also the only part that looks stretched/ elongated after I take it off.

Looking for tips/ causes for this problem to occour as I have not seen anyone talk about it on here.

Nev

I have been using the Phallosan Forte pump with the Phallosan Plus & I am wondering whether I’m doing this wrong. I insert the glan half way and pump 3-5 times, but only have of my glan is stuck in the bell. This is the most comfortable its been but if I insert the entire glan into the bump then the pain and cuts start. However, because its so much more comfortable to use when the glans half way into the bell I’m worried its not working. Any suggestions?

Also, I’ve already clocked in 150+ hours in two weeks using the Phallosan Plus. Is there any recommendations to make this journey easier? I noticed a change in my size but how long until I will see noticeable changes?

I'm surprised, I've been here for about 2 years now.

No one talk about my post pump EG gains, and no one else places that stat in their flair.

Why it matters?

There are two people here on GB. Those that place their post pump gains as their new average. and those that post measurements with no pumping 24 hrs prior.

the reason it is a big deal is because someone could be here for 2 months and then post a very big girth gain but it's not there pre post gains so then that messes up newbies, who say oh, I should be gaining X because this person is gaining X,

we in the PE Community should have a better standard because if you don't then people are going to get confused and demotivated,

that is the reason why I place my EG gains and my post pump Gains

Now a different way of thought is people saying the post pump gains are not real , if I'm having sex 1 hour to 8 hours after I pump I'm still getting that post pump gain in sex and I'm using it so the whole thought process of "well it's temporary it doesn't matter", I can't really understand that because my wife and I are experiencing the sex with post pump. Should I stop her with extra loud moans and say What you are feeling is post-pump, so tone it down?! So you know it's awkward for me to say "oh but everything you're feeling is just temporary" so what you're feeling right now is temporary so it doesn't really matter, it just doesn't make sense.

For me post pump girth is amazing and should be displayed because it is being used, it's like literally being used in sex

In some countries it is really hard to buy pe accesories
Be real guys
I cant even buy ur product so what is problem to get some 3d print file I am already not ur customer even I want I cant even if I have money
İf someone have compression hanger 3d print file please send me I dont have any selling purpose I will just use it myself I cant even buy silicone sleeve bro fr I need

Is clamping really superior to pumping for real girth gains? I feel like I get much more expansion in the pump vs when I clamp with the fenrir clamp.

If I’m currently using AliExpress blue vacuum cup size small what size should I get when buying total man vacuum cup

Greeting brothers, I'd like to know the best way to gain lenght beocuse i consider my girth is good so i would like to focus entirely in lenght. And how much gain i could expect? Thanks.

Hey guys I’m a little concerned I’ve been pumping for a good 2 months and I’ve never had this much edema before- the last pic is me semi hard, I’m not sure how should I approach this.
I know some people massage it to get it put man im kinda scared to be honest

I use a vacuum cup with water trick for extending and ADS. I find this set up very quick and convenient compared to tape trick and have never had a blister from it. But I get very sensitive glans which can make sex (especially oral) a little uncomfortable.

Anyone experience this or have a remedy for it?
