In Reply to: has anyone here gained over 1.5" and how long did it take? posted by curious on October 15, 1998 at 20:44:21:
3-4 times per week over six months to a year - this pretty much describes my pumping experience. probably nine months for me, using a kaplan hand-operated "trigger" pump. 3-4 times a week during some stretches, 1-2 times during others. over that nine or so months, i've gained 1/4 inch in length, from 7 1/4" to 7 1/2", and a tad in girth.
definitely rest a day. you can totally go bruised or develop bad petichia (the little red spots, which are burst cappilaries) going every day. use moderate vacuum, never lots. you can do damage by being overzealous.
i myself am contemplating the switch to a CTC electric model. i hear it decreases these types of problems, and increases effectiveness. my presence on this site is an attempt to gain more info before i spend the bucks.
one inch probably takes 1 to 2 years on average. maybe even 3 or 4. guys who start pumping and then get discouraged after 3 months are totally in the wrong ballpark. slow and steady, never reach for too much. your dick isn't something to mess with. well, of course WE'RE all messing with it, but be careful. learn everything you can. borrow a book from someone. ask the guys on this site questions (some of these guys are more serious than others. it might take two days to get a serious response.). scour the web for informational pieces. forewarned is forearmed.
keep at it, man! bigger is better, but only if it all still works properly. be careful and be wise. good luck!
