Has anyone gained from *only* pumping?

[aldog]

Hi all,

Can anyone on this forum say they have gained any length or girth from just using pumping --- that is, without using jelqs, clamps, or stretches?

If yes, was the gain permanent, how much was the gain, and how long did it take to acheive?

I ask because I am very skeptical of pumping. I tried it several years ago and got no results. I may be wrong, but personally right now I don't believe it works (at least not on its own without PE exercises used in addition).

I would have to say yes. I've been pumping on and off since I was 18 (45 now) but did it very sporatically. That means I would do it for months at a time 2-3 days per week, then go many months without any pumping at all. Back then I was 7.75 and over the years have gained to about 8.5. During that time I also tried some hanging so if I had to say, I would attribute at least a half inch to just pumping. The results however are nothing compared to a mixed routine. Since joining MOS in January 2005 and following a jelq + pump routine I am now (on a good day) a solid 9. So yes I think pumping does work but combined with stretching, jelqing the results gained will come MUCH quicker.

I have read a few experiences where guys who keep at it consistently for 6 months or more do experience some permanent gains from pumping alone. It seems very few people actually pump at least 4 days a week for at least six months. I know myself, I haven't gotten close to that, but I am trying to do it at least 4 days a week now. Also, I'm sure with jelqing and other manual exercises the effect is much more pronounced and the penis heals better after a therapeutic pump session.

I would certainly recommend jelqing with your pumping routine for blood circulation.

I have gained a good bit from pumping/jelqing in the past, about a 1/2'' in 4 months. Between sets I do approximately 50 2-3 second wet jelqs to help blood flow. Otherwise right after you exit the pump, your unit will look purplish and jelqing helps flush blood through it and regain color.
