And of course, if it occurs, no pumping until it is completely healed! While this is usually harmless, and temporary, if it doesn’t go away by itself, you may need to see a doctor. This is something that occurs naturally in the body but when too much of it is drawn into the head of the penis it can cause swelling that creates a doughnut look. When you pump you draw blood into the penis but you also draw in lymphatic fluid. Another fairly common injury caused by too much pumping is the “doughnut effect” and I am sure you can take a guess at what this might look like from the name. If this occurs it will cause instant pain, bruising and swelling and it can affect your ability to get an erection for weeks or months at a time. Ruptured blood vessels are another risk of over-pumping. If any of these do occur, then you will need to stop pumping and take a break until you are completely healed. In fact, all of these are fairly common amongst beginners to penis pumping and while they are only temporary they can be scary at the time.

It can create temporary injuries like blisters, skin discoloration and numbness of the penis. Pumping for too long without a break, or pumping too often is the biggest risk when it comes to penis pumping. If you can see your penis is still expanding, then don’t pump again until it has stopped. Let the pressure out and stretch and massage your penis to get the blood circulation flowing freely again to help the pumping process.Īlso, make sure that you allow the penis to stop growing between each pump. It’s important to keep your sessions no longer than 15 minutes still, and if you want to do longer then give yourself a break every 10 – 15 minutes. Once you feel more comfortable with the process and the suction then you can increase the frequency of your workouts and train more often. When you are starting out stick to 2 – 3 pumping sessions a week and don’t pump for any longer than 15 minutes at a time.

This is especially important for beginners as this will be a whole new type of sensation for your penis so you need to take it slow.
