Hey.

Recently I've noticed I get donuts very easy when pumping, when I started out with PE and pumping I didn't get them at all, now I get big ones and I don't really like it.

Am I pumping to hard/fast or is there anything else I can do to avoid these?

cheers

Yup too much pressure for too long of duration. If you’re going to pump to max intensity, you need to take breaks. Rule of thumb: 3 sets of 5 minutes each. Low, medium then max intensity. Your donut will be smaller and will take less time to go down, and you’ll have a great girthy dick for the evening!

the donut effect isn't going to hurt you, so if you dislike it because of the aesthetics, there are several ways to deal with it. Personally, I think the donut effect is a good thing, as it allows you to pack the tube for the upper part of your shaft. When the tube is packed, the pressure is put more on the "meat" of the penis, since the skin is no longer exposed to the negative pressure. At least, this is how I see it happening to me.

you can massage away the donut, and even squeeze it. I like to wrap an Ace wrap around my shaft after pumping, and leave it on for about 20 minutes. when it comes off, the donut is mostly gone, and some massaging/jelqing/rolling the penis in my hand like i'm trying to make spaghetti noodles usually ends the effect, while keeping the "meat" enlarged.

there will always be some skin swelling with pumping. it's just a matter of opinion on how you want to deal with it.

I've been getting a wash cloth kind of wet, laying it flat on something in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes towards the end of my pump session, and then immediately after I'm out of the tube when I'm completely done I wrap my cock with that icy cold cloth. Keeps swelling wayyyyyy down and people on other forums swear by it for reducing injury, bruising, red spots and they cite better flaccid hang and swell after the pump is done. I've done it for my last 8-10 pumps and yah, it makes any kind of edema (donut) go away really really fast. Like within 3 hours it's almost completely gone, I think that's fast, at least to me :)

I just pump and monitor. I’ve wrapped and stuff and massage swelling down, but I avoid it by paying attention. Too much too fast is probably the culprit. The pain/discomfort level during the pump will indicate trauma and predicate swelling too in my experience

Just watch, and go easier. The minute I see edema i release and massage/stretch/light jelque

Sometimes I clamp or jelque instead if the swelling is coming on

I like shorter sessions more often. Sometimes twice a day. I go up to high pressures but I do not hold for long. I really don’t leave it in the tube pumped at all. It’s more of a repetition of pumping with a short hold and then release. Massaging and working on blood flow often

If you pump longer at less vaccum it won't happen as often. If it happens jelq it down, and if that doesn't work I roll it over the head and let it go down on it's own. Pumping in a snug condom helps. My head swells more when I pump and I have to pee sitting down for a few hours after pumping. The donut isn't as much of an issue if I pop my head into it and roll it over.
