I was 23 years old when a good bud turned me on to pumping; that was nearly 16 years ago. Ive also never kept records, except that I was approximately 7.6 in length by about 5.6 in girth when I first started. The last time I measured after a week off of pumping my cock was 8.3 by 6.5.
I started pumping with a 9 x 2.25 cylinder but soon switched to larger tubes cause it was too easy to max out or fill the whole tube after a couple of sessions. Today, I have two cylinders. I use the 10 x 2.5 cylinder and do a total of 3 pump sets. Each set is usually 20 to 25 minutes max with 10 minute rest periods. Generally didn't use the 10 X 2.75 unless I'd already done 3 twenty-minute pumps in the 2.5. . Up until about 5 years ago, I routinely pumped 3 to 6 times a week depending on the amount of free time I had. There are times when Ive refrained for a week or two or pumped less. Yes, I can just about max out my 10 X 2.5 cylinder at the end of a 3 set session. Six hours later, length-wise I just about back to normal. Girth is more easily retained, especially with a cockring. For about the last 5 years, I generally do 2 sessions every other day (sometimes I may do it every day for a week or so) for maintaining girth; in the morning while Im shaving, showering, brushing my teeth and drying my hair. Love pumping in a hot shower. Yeah, I love the feel of my girth after pumping, it almost like an out of body experience or holding someone elses wide bodied junk in your hand. Once Ive pumped my cock up big, I love to stroke it while standing in front of the mirror and refer to it as my hog cock, guess Im a Harley-D type of guy. In my gallery here at lpsg, if the pic is one shortly after Ive pumped, Ill generally make that notation in the legend.
When I lived in Houston, I had 4 buddies that I pumped with and we're all animals. As two of them are married and need excuses to get out we don't always (all 4) get together. There are other times when I pump alone. Only thing my buds and I never sprung for was one or two of whats called a double pump. If you've ever seen the Al Parker vid, those look hot as hell and I can tell you that they really are. Ive used a double pump a couple of times at white parties and it really wild if two of you are in the same tube and can get your cocks touch.
The one thing that I really hate about pumping is that after a full 3 sets the end (or the head) of my cock hangs really weird. Those pics, I wont show anyone. My buds dont really care, but Ive had a lot of girls/women remark that they think its absolutely disgusting and that I can fuck em, but that's there no way they'll give me head, lick it or even fondle it.
