Just a little tip that others may find useful...

I've been using two cock rings when I pump with my bathmate to avoid fluid retention and it works extremely well. I use one at the base and one just under the head, and together this seems to almost completely eliminate any fluid build up. The style of cock ring I use is these - (Google - Tantus Ultra Premium Silicone Cock Ring)
It is worth noting that I don't do long or extreme sessions, as I use the bathmate as an auxiliary exercise just to get some engorgement going on, which I think is healthy. So that said, I typically only do 2-3 sets of 5 minutes, though pumped pretty hard, and with lots of kegels. If I went much further than this, then I'd say I'd probably get some fluid buildup.

With my dick not being all ugly and fucked up looking, I can have sex later that day without any fear - I used to avoid pumping if I knew I'd be having sex!

So yesterday my little fuck buddy surprised me with a booty call, about 5 hours after I'd pumped, and I still had an additional .25" girth going on for 6.25" in total... but this is with no fluid, just nice and hard. She didn't outright say something was different, but I could tell she was wondering what was going on, and holy sh*t did she get off on it (she doesn't know I PE ;) ).

Thanks for sharing my friend. A note to others that cock rings and other constriction devices are to be used with the understanding that mis-use can cause injury. Be sure to read up on your supplemental devices before you dive in. Glad you had a great experience.

When you get to being able to do the long extreme sessions there will be some fluid retention. It shouldn't last too long though and it's not something you want if you're new to pumping.

Should have mentioned I get into the pump erect, as that definitely helps reduce fluid retention too. The cock rings of course help keep me erect while I fuck around getting into the pump. So I put the one on the base, work up an erection, put the second one on under the glans, and then get into the pump.

I don't do it much anymore, but I've also found in the past that filling the pump with cold water (chilled even) also reduces fluid retention.

Does pumping with cold affect your erection while you pump?

Not that I've noticed... but then the pump keeps it erect anyway.

The cold water seems to help get good expansion too, I'll hit max length easier/quicker.

Is fluid retention bad in general? As in it's bad for girth gains?

I always get it but never had a problem with it, using a condom ring under glands completely reduced it.

Early on it's not good to get too much fluid retention. When you become advance your penis will swell and a lot of it will be the penis itself and not under the skin.

Retention inside the chambers of the penis themselves is good, but just under the skin I don't think is useful at all, and is also what results in your penis looking pretty ugly and feeling "squishy". If I plan on having sex that day, an ugly squishy penis is not good :)

Exactly my point :)

I see so for sex it would be bad, but will it affect gains compared to not havin retention.?

Excess fluid under the skin in the form of edema isn't good for gains or sex. You want the build up in the penis itself.

Damn I see now, didn't think it would be counter productive since I'm still pumping penis.

looks like I'm need to start using less pressure.

i did extra 5 mins in x40 today and have major fluid.

Add a minute each time so you don't over do it. Even with a minute a day those minutes add up over time fast.
