Anyone feel desensitized ever?

[Mission248]

Hi!

I’m new here and new to pumping. I’ve done manual PE for 2 years now, with very minimum results. My PE coach suggested I try pumping.

I’m 2 weeks in to pumping using a Bathmate Extreme.

My coach has me pumping Mon, Tue, Thur, and Fri.
He wants me to add 1 extra min of total pump time from the previous session.

5 minutes of moderate pressure, then add more pressure for the next amount of time. Eventually as I add more time I will be adding extra pressure on every 10 min interval.

Everything was great. But once I got to 12 minutes ( first 5 minutes moderate pressure, then add some more for additional 7 minutes) I noticed my super Kegels and edging he wants me to do post pump was very challenging. It was like my penis couldn’t really stay hard.

I feel like it became desensitized even on my days off and my erection feels squishy instead of hard like a pipe!

Has this happened to any of you? Bathmate instructions says 3 sets of 2-5 minutes max. My coach has me doing this all in one set and adding to it.

I read some scary stuff about damaging the penis with long term pumping, and losing erections and sensation.

Any feedback would be appreciated! I hope there’s an easy solution because in 2 weeks I went from 6.25 to 6.33 length. And 4.25 to 4.5 girth.

I just want to make sure my erection is hard and with high quality otherwise what’s the point?

Thank you

This is the exact same thing I posted about and there is no one responding to mine either. I noticed the same. Looking at the photos on the forum, it really looks like everyone has ED and is deformed and likely no longer hard and rigid.

Too high a pressure too long and yes you will. Best is low and slow.

I've been using the bathmate now for over 2 years. My routine is jelq/stretch 5 minutes before, 10-12 minute session bathmate first 5 minutes at 80% then to max, 5 more minutes jelq/stretch, another 10-12 minutes bathmate to end with another 5 minute jelq/stretch. After such a session my dick also feels a lot softer instead of hard. I think it's because of the fluid retention you build up during the use of a pump. After like 2-4 hours it's back to normal hardness again.

Stick to full package pumping and never going over 5, and you'll never hurt yourself or cause any damage. I'm about 2 years in and I've only ever had any negative side effects from pumping cock only and going over 5. I even noticed the pumpers tan get better once I stuck to full package only. EQ better too.

This is where I advocate pumping while erect. Low pressure around 2-3 hg with some spikes to 5 or 8hg hold then release back down. Shake and pull on the tube to maintain erection. You’ll come out hard as a pipe and firm not squishy also bigger than usual. Or you can start erect stay erect hold pressure at 5 hg for 5 minutes then lower the pressure for 30 seconds then up it back up for your desired time. Both of these are the way I pump and I get phenomenal results. Gains are hard to measure but I notice them when I just don’t quite fit in my vacuum hanger even after days of no pumping.
