Hello, I pumped for the first time yesterday and have a few questions because I am not sure if my experience was normal or safe. I used an automatic vacuum pump and even though I only kept it turned on the at lowest setting I did leave the pump on for 20-30 minutes:

1. My penis was very swollen afterwards for a while. The swelling went down over the course of the day and my penis was back to normal the next day i.e. today. Is this normal?

2. I did have sex with my wife after pumping. While I did come, my erection wasn't as hard as it usually use and sensation was down as well. Is this normal?

3. What do you guys recommend for future use? Should I pump again? How long to pump? Do's and dont's?

4. Does pumping make any noticeable difference to girth and length over the long term?

Thanks alot!

Based on my experience (about 30 years of pumping):
1. You did the right thing starting at the lowest pressure setting
2. Pump sessions longer than 10 to 15 minutes are likely to temporarily de-sensitize nerves in your penis ... due to lack of blood flow during a pump session.
3. Long sessions also can cause a bloated swollen look (medically called edema) and can make your penis seem floppy and squishy even when erect.
All of what you observed is normal, just make your sessions shorter. As you get more accustomed to the feeling, slowly increase the pressure - this could take weeks - and always keep pressures below 15 psi.
Over the long term (in my case a very long term) substantial permanent increases are normal. In my case, both length and girth have nearly doubled. But don't expect such changes in a matter of weeks or even months! It takes dedication and routine. Incidentally, there are other threads on this website that talk about good technique. Good luck!

20-30 minutes is for advanced pumpers. 10-15 is where you should be. Swelling/ donuts go down eventually, don’t worry. Also over pumping does cause fatigue, which affects erection quality (EQ). Your skin will be very sensitive, and will hurt with sex. Take a day or two off and try again. Start with three 5 minute sets. Low, moderate, and high vacuum respectively. After each set take off the pump and jelq for a minute or two. This is a basic routine for beginners
