Geezer56: Yes I have tried extender use (but not for a prolonged time). I think they are pretty safe if you don't over do the traction level. I am currently using one to supplement my manual PE. I think extenders as with pumps and all PE takes some real time and dedication in the long term. I wouldn't take too much notice of the size calulators you see on extender sites, I think they are way off. How did you pump? Did you pump while fully erect and maintain an erection thoughout your sessions? Although I didnt gain in the short time I pumped, I do think pumping holds merit, I may well give it another go sometime.
Dusty: Sounds good. Do you do each session of 30 mins in one go? I always used to do 10 min sessions and try to maintain a full erection throughout. I would try and do up to 6 sessions of 10 mins some nights, but I think if I was to pump again I would focus on just being fully erect for about 10 mins and do only one set. I knew a guy who claimed this was enough (said he gained pumping just 10 mins a day fully erect on about 3-5 hg). I can't maintain a full perfect erection for a whole 30/60 mins, even in the pump, then I'm just sucking in lymph fluid. I often used to get lots of blood spots on the head too, another sign I was doing too much and not resting enough.
