Hopefully this thread will encourage the longer term pumpers to contribute in one concise thread. My hope is to gather some real information since long-term pumping information seems non-existent doing goggle searches. Maybe this thread will help someone getting started make a more informed decision to pump or not.
I'll contribute my personal experience to start. I started pumping about 10 years ago with a usual pattern of 2-3 times per week at 45 minutes to 90 per session. I continued this for about 12 months starting with a 1.75 inch x 9 inch cylinder and then switching to a 2 inch x 9 inch cylinder. Pressure was between -4 to -7Hg. Usually I pumped in the bathtub filled with hot water and saw better results wet pumping versus dry. I saw permanent gains after this first year (unpumped ) of roughly .5 inch in length and .5 inch in girth. The pumping also removed most of the curve in my penis shaft which I suspect was a poor circumcision job at birth. I did gain some loose foreskin when erect overall from pumping which was tight as a drum during erections before pumping.
Also, I did try a 2-stage pumping cylinder but I couldn't get past the unpleasant feeling of having my balls pumped. My personal experience at that time was it felt like I had been kicked in the balls even using low pumping pressure. I guess in a round about way I'm saying I only pump my penis.
After this first year I was really interested in restoring my foreskin so I started the t-tape method. The taping/stretching made my skin really tender so I had to give up pumping. My foreskin restoration lasted about 18 months and then my life was completely absorbed by my career/work.
During the last couple of months I started pumping again with the main focus on lengthening my foreskin and providing pleasure for my wife. FYI, my wife has recently become very interested in pumping after reading some articles concerning the FDA approved clitoris pump. In the past, my wife thought the pumping thing was a bit to weird for her but she just recently admitted to enjoying the added girth I got from pumping (if only I'd known years ago). This time around pumping is much more enjoyable because my best friend (my wife) is going to be doing it with me.
Please contribute your experiences!
Long-term results, effects & techniques (add yours)

Excellent post, enjoyed reading it. As I began reading your post I thought to myself, I wonder if he mentions foreskin restoration as a long term result from pumping. Lo and behold you did.
I started pumping on the 10th February 2008, with the main intention of restoring my foreskin. Thinking about it, the results are fantastic so far. I was cut tight as they can be causing slight curvature and hairy penis. Now I am loosening up real good.
I began restoring with t-tape etc and all the methods you mention. I have a question what do you attribute your foreskin gains mainly to, the pumping or the 18 months of t-tape? and what do you think is the best method out of them two for restoration?
Best,JM

Hey JM,
Glad you could understand my note. Sometimes I forget to proof read my notes and they make little or no sense.
Foreskin restoration - Pumping vs. T-tape
My experience is they both work. Pumping got my skin started and the t-tape method stretched my foreskin to the point it was just over my glans. Pros of pumping is you don't have to use tape and the enjoyment of being temporary thicker and longer. The pros of T-tape is you can restore 24x7 (at home, at work, etc). I personally found it easier and more convenient to tape almost everyday (about 22 hours on average x 6 days per week) than to pump 45-90 minutes 6 days per week.
Have you found a copy of the "The Joy of Uncircumcising"? Great book in my opinion and gives a lot of history of how circumcision became so popular especially in the USA.
The benefits of having my foreskin restored to its current state. The curve in my penis shaft is mostly gone so during sex with my wife the side of her vagina is no longer sore/tender. Also, the gliding effect (nicely illustrated in the book) of going in and out of my new foreskin during intercourse means she rarely gets overall vaginal soreness.
Also, search this board for "foreskin restoration" or maybe just "foreskin" and you'll find a few pumpers who claim (with photos) to have lengthened their foreskin with pumping only.
Currently I'm also trying the foreskin tube from Newart (great company even if shipping is a tad slow. Oh, the deluxe pump is excellent). However you'll need to be quite a bit along in your restoration before you can use the tube.
Lasty, stay hydrated during your pumping sessions. I drink at least a quart of water and I'm trying to limit my daily caffine intact. Both of which are just part of a good healthy diet anyway. FYI, I found this tip on the Female board from a couple that pump together. They are getting quicker and better gains from more water and less/no caffine in their diets.

Holding Restored Foreskin Forward
I should mention that after using the t-tape method for 18 months, quitting because I grew tried of daily routine, my skin was restored for coverage over my glans when flaccid. Another item (amazing how so items like this continue to pop into my memory), I did have some skin shrinkage of about ¼ to 1/3 once I stopped daily taping/tugging. OK, so I had enough foreskin to coverage my glans flaccid for the past 7 years or so which I kept in place with a rubber/silicone plumbing O-ring.
This O-ring has been incorporated into my daily routine very easily and can be discreetly slipped on and off even in a public restroom. The problem, erections usually at night while sleeping. If the O-ring was too large the glans slipped through and I would wake up to a painful feeling of an O-ring around the mid-section of my erect shaft. Using a slightly smaller O-ring I’d wake up to the head of the glans pushing against smaller O-ring and foreskin, which makes the foreskin overly tight. In both cases, I’ve been carefully removing the O-ring and going back to sleep. This means my glans would go uncovered about 6 hours per day (drying out and feeling a bit tender each morning) which feels really uncomfortable compared to being covered most of the time. This pretty much sums up why I’m hoping to gain a bit more foreskin so I can stay covered even while erect. I plan to use the vacuum pumping because the T-tape really inhibits intimate time with my wife.
FYI, all of the above posts are my personal experiences with lots of trial and error.

I began pumping about 2 years ago, after being invited to this site from a person from another site. She had written a story on the site about pumping and how she taught her boyfriend to enjoy their pumping together. I kept reading and seeing all these wonderful stories and pics of men and women and how it helped with their penile size. Being a bit short in the penile area I thought anything would help. I discussed it with my wife and we decided to visit our local porn shop to see what they had available. I didn't get the cheapest set but I didn't get the most expensive one either. I went home and began pumping, not sure what to expect. She would pop in on occasion to see how things were going, she kept talking about how red it was getting and she was worried. I would pump for 10 minutes then take a 5 minute break. I didn't have a gauge on it so I couldn't tell how much pressure I was using at first. After that first time I ended up with this HUGE bubble under the head, a doughnut I know now. We had sex and she enjoyed the added girth. I didn't get much length at first. I did however keep getting the doughnuts, also over the next few pump sessions I noticed my penis was beginning to become more spongy. Thicker but not as hard, now I'm thinking,"oh No I broke it" I continued to pump and by week 3 the hardness was back and the sponginess gone. I enjoyed the added girth, then the pressure bulb on my pump split, I headed to Harbor Freight Tools, for a brake bleeder kit to replace the bulb and continued. Now having a gauge I was able to keep things more even. I shaved myself and now enjoyed everything about pumping. I have gained about a 1/2 inch to my girth and length and have quadruppled my foreskin. I still haven't been able to talk the wife into pumping but I haven't given up. Pumping is a way of life, and with the right person can be a great form of foreplay.

I have read this thread with interest, and would like to tell of my experience. I started pumping about 3 years ago, I told my GF that I was interested and she was O.K. about that. Over the years I have been lucky enough to be able to pump for about 4 hours a day ( starting at 1/2 hour sessions and working up!) I have gains mainly in girth and like a lot of you guys my GF likes it. I talked with her about female pumping and she was willing to give it a go, I purchased a pussy cup and we now enjoy pumping together. I have tried various devises for pumping the cock head and gaining extra length, all with little effect ( I am 8" erect ) but the increase in girth is what I work on now. Also I am more into pumping my balls which seems to have more of a result for a shorter amount of time. Hope this wasn't to boring. Good luck to all you pumpers ( Keep it up !!! ) P.S. I am circumcised and my foreskin is slowly reforming.

Really enjoying reading this thread and all the interesting detailed responses.
My story is quite long but i'll share some background info so you can all 'know' me on some basis.
When I was 3 years old, I was circumcised. I live in the UK btw where circumcision is not common I told my mum it hurt to pee she took me to the doctors and he recommended it to cure tight foreskin 'issues'.
Of course this is proposterous and a 3 year old or anyone for that matter will never need such a radical procedure. Since I hit puberty I always felt something was wrong down there, but never knew what, after all I was brainwashed by my parents and doctor to believe circ was completely normal and fine so I ignored that fact. I could nver pinpoint why I felt insecure about my penis and getting intimate with someone.
As a young teen through to 16, I still had not had any sexual intimacy with anyone, still not feeling right. I concluded that my problem must of been I was too small, so I embarked on penis enlargement. after years of experimenting with methods I frequented 2 very popular forums.
One day it finally hit me when I was 17 that my problem was my circ and it caused a lot of psychological issues for me. I got very depressed and sought out anyway to fix it.
I stumbled upon a a post one day that a member said while he was pumping his penis to make it bigger, a side effect after 9 months was he grew his foreskin back. This post I read came about when I was about 20 (1 year ago). Well I restumbled on this post again at the start of this year. By this point with my very slow progress from 17 onwards with restoration I was willing to try anything. So I bought a pump and the rest is I ended up on here now a few months into pumping and enjoying some pretty good progress. Still a long way to go but I will get there.
I am 21 now, still never had an intimate relationship and cannot bring myself to either until I fix my mind and body with restoration.
I went into that hospital that day fine. I came out permanently sick.

How about skin lotions or lubricants?
Hey, I'm back on line sooner than I expected.
I’ve been using mineral oil but was never really happy with it. It’s really greasy and takes some work to wash it out of the cylinder. Plus, it’s a laxative so my wife is never real thrilled with ingesting it orally off my skin so to speak.
During the last couple of days I’ve been trying extra virgin olive oil after reading about it from this forum. The olive oil is great! Much less greasy, absorbs into the skin readily, and it’s a natural plant product instead of a petroleum product. My wife and I will probably make this our sex lube for the future too. Just another excuse to keep a stock of olive oil on hand. Cooking, oil for our lamps during power outages, pumping lube, . . .
