PUMPING 101 - A GUIDE TO VACUUM PUMPING - THE SERIES (PART I OF
III)

AS A BASIC GUIDE FOR ALL AND A REFRESHER FOR OTHERS, we are
pleased to present
this three part series on pumping.  Part I will cover the basics, while Parts
II and III will discuss methods, techniques and post pump practices.  We wish
to thank the many guys who helped write, edit and critique this material (Rx,
Tener, Gerry Romine, Inchez and Daryl Peeters). So here goes - let us know 
what you think!




By now, your head is spinning with ideas and fantasies.  You've read all the
ads, perused the files on this board and have tinkered with the possibilities.
Push comes to shove and you want to pump.

One of the first and most important considerations is SAFETY - how safe is
pumping and what harm could ther be in this practice?  This aspect should be
taken seriously.  After all, misuse or careless practices do and can cause 
problems such as bruising, rupture or worse.  We advocate common sense and
moderation in pumping.

If you have looked at pump equipment, there is usually a prominent sticker
attached to the cock cylinder reading "For novelty purposes only - or some
other words to this effect).  This sticker is not there for decoration.  The
manufacturers of pump equipment have been stung too many times by men who do
not know what they are doing and have senselessly wound up hurting themselves
and in turn, they have sued the makers and distributers of pumps.  

We believe in Informed Pumping - a gradual work-up for time and pressure.
These points will be covered in Parts II and III of this Series. 

In consensus, we have gotten together to form a set of general, no-nonsense
guidelines to follow regarding pump safety.  They are:

1.  If it hurts or is uncomfortable - STOP IMMEDIATELY!!!  You are either 
applying too much vacuum pressure or have pushed the time thresh-hold for 
your pump session.  Deflate and resume a few days later at a lesser pressure
and/or decreased session time.

2.  Do not pump while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. 
Being chemically impaired increases your risk of being reckless.  Being
reckless is injurous to your body and your cock.

3.  Use no other restraining devices on or about your penis or your balls
while you pump.  These types of devices (cock rings, weights, elastic bands,
etc.) are only for the experienced, and even then we advise against this.

4.  Always use a lubricant - baby oil, lanolin cream, hand lotion, grease,
etc. on the cock to reduce skin strain and promote the pump vacuum.  After
deflation, wash yourself thoroughly (especially after anything greasey or oil
based).  If you are going to have sex - use rubbers and a non-grease/oil based
lubricant. Grease/oil makes rubbers disintegrate.  Also, use a lubricant 
containing non-oxyl for extra protection.

5.  Avoid vigorous sexual practices for 4-6 hours after deflation.  After all,
it is your cock and such practices could harm it while you are in the throes
of passion.  Take precaution here (this is the hardest part of these 
guidelines for us to agree to also!).

These are the rules - plain and simple.  Again, it is your cock and you need
to take care of it while pumping.  Whether you use a manual handpump or 
motor-driven vacpump, you still need to keep safety uppermost before, during
and after your pump sessions.  Take a moment to look over these safety 
guidelines and let's talk about some other basics.

The second major consideration is place and time.  If you are serious about
pumping, you will have already planned for this.

Obviously, you are not going to walk around in public with your cock cylinder
on and your pump hanging over your shoulder.  Accommodate your sessions in a
quiet, comfortable and distractions-free space.  Any surrounding offering
privacy and solitude is preferred while you take your pump-up session.

Pump sessions need to be on a schedule.  Beginners, 15 to 20 minutes a day,
every other day for 4-6 months, after this time, daily for 10-15 minutes for
the next 6 months.  This will give you and your willy time to gradually get
acquainted with the pump, scheduling and pressure.  Once you have conditioned
yourself to the regimen, you are ready to begin building up for increased
pressure and session time.  Never push your pressure and/or time thresh-hold.
Remember - if it hurts or is uncomfortable - what do you do?

The third and last item to consider is determination.  You have to work to
get a bigger dick.  Do you have the guts to stick it out and pump it up?
It takes more than mouth service to get into and keep up with vacuum pumping.
If you are serious, sit down now and write up some goals for your sessions.
Be reasonable - don't expect to go from 4 to 8 inches in a year.  You can 
expect from 10 to 20 percent more in both length and girth, build toward that
and then explore advanced techniques that focus on just length, or girth or
balls, etc.  This is the tough part, especially for beginners who expect
instant endowment when in reality many of us have been pumping for decades
and have the cocks to prove it.  Be Determined and have a goal!!!

That's it for Part I. Parts II and III will examine methods, techniques
and advanced pumping.  Review the considerations here and lets get your
input.  Read, reply, network, tune to this board (the only one in the 
world - presently on this topic) and above all grow.  What do you think
Put it on #93.  Til next time - Best to all of You!!!!!!!!

Hi!  We are back with the second installment of our three part series on
pumping.  Part I discussed the absolute basics including safety, place/time
and determination.  This installment looks at methods and techniques with
an overview of equipment.  We wish to thank our tireless cabal of cocks for
their help in writing, editing, revising, arguing and reasoning through this
production (Darryl Peeters, Gerry Romine, Tener Yobone, Rx, Inchez and Wicked
Witcherd).  Please let us know what you think about this topic and series and
by all means, tune in regularly to Harbor Bytes - the "A Matter of Size" Sub-
Board is exclusive to it!!!!!!!!       Yours in Growing (BIGGER)!!!!!!!!
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""


You have now started pumping or have at least thought about the various pros
and cons of this practice.  Maybe you have looked at equipment and are still
leery about all the tubes, cylinders, pumps and accoutrements.  Well, there
are only two basic types of pumps; hand-held and electro-motor.  Both types
work but there are some drawbacks to both models.

The hand-held, vacuum pump is the most commonly used and recognized.  You've
probably seen them for sale in the back of porno mags or you may have seen them
offered at your local, sexually-erotic literature and video parlor. They are
sold for as little as $9.95 up-wards to $175.00 for a brand name, handmade
model.  These pumps essentially consist of a clear acrylic/plastic/vinyl tube,
a length of tubing and then the pump itself.  Refinements such as a metal pump
with rubber gaskets, a heavier guage tube with a flared rim, a quick cut-off
valve or air intake opening and extra tubing are usually seen on the more
expensive models.  You get what you pay for!  The positive side of hand pumps
is the price in comparison to electro-motor pumps and the ability to take your
show on the road - really gives meaning to the expression "Walkman".  Except
for the cheaper models (that fall apart, are shabbily constructed and present
less value for the buck), there really aren't that many negatives with hand
pumps.  One editor here mentioned having to keep the pressure constant but even
with motor types you have to watch this and keep the vacuum constant anyway.

There are two companies in the U.S. that manufacture electro pumps.  The most
famous line is the BCR system (out of business) and the other is Vacu-Tech. 
Both of these companies make a reasonable machine which ranges in price and
options from $295 to $450.  These machines are also hand made and are ordered
through the mail (they take plastic and can mail you an advertising brochure
on your request for a very nominal fee).  With these models you get the tube,
extra tubing and of course, the motor device.  You have the option of buying
more of everything and can get tit and ball tubes as well.  These options are
also available from the more reliable hand-held pump makers.  The most positive
aspect to machine pumps is that you set the pressure and the electropump does
the work.  Just lube up, grease your pecker, put it into the tube and then
turn the machine on. Outside of the price differences, the electropump does
have one major drawback, you plug it in (a battery model is in the works).
This means you must keep out of water or else (ZZZZZZZZZZZZ, well-done meat
or bad burns).  Another drawback is portability, it is cumbersome to have to
tote the machine unit with you although you can buy extra long flexible tubing
that will follow you around, just don't make too many fast turns.  The elctro
pumps are also noisey and that can be a problem for concentration.

Many reliable pump makers (both types) offer brochures.  BCR had probably the
best marketing/information booklet of all the makers.  They also offered
some very fine value added services such as a membership club, a
newsletter, a written guarantee and a ready stock.  No matter which kind of
pump you buy, become informed first and then buy wisely.  Most pumpers started
on the really cheap hand pumps and then graduated to either a better grade
handpump or electropump.  Either pump works.

Once you have your own pump, the next thing you need is a method or technique
to use.  In concensus, we endorse the safer pumping guidelines in Part I of 
this series.  However, there are variations on a theme other than get it hard,
get it greased, poke it in and pump.

Most men enjoy the pump in an aroused state.  You do not have to be hard first
but it does help.  Your cock will respond to the vacuum anyway.  Grease your
meat up and remember to use a good amount in order to insure a proper
suction pressure.  There are a number of adequate lotions you can use, however
try to get a petrolatum or heavy lanolin mixture.  These lotions/greases do not
dry out as quickly as water based solutions.  You must keep your cock and the
area in suction moist. Spread the grease over and on your prong (uncut men
should skin back their flaps and apply a liberal amount of moisturizer,
make sure all areas are well covered) and also into the thick pubic patch above
your dick.  Some men shave their pubic area for better suction.  This is the
area you want to concentrate on.  Do not attempt to suck your balls into the
tube, this can be harmful and extremely painful, especially for beginners. 
Your tube should be planted high away from your nuts to fully encircle your
boner and pubic hair.  Make sure that the tube you order
is your proper circumference so that you have some room to grow comfortably.
You can always order larger and longer tubes.  Now gently handpump or turn on
the lowest vac pressure you can take.  Don't try to marathon out - this is an
advanced practice (beginners read Part I again on time per session). Now sit
back and enjoy watching your dick grow.  Worship that whopper as it stretches
and enlarges and pulsates to the vacuum pressure and strokes. Keep up the tempo
and note your session time.  Check the state of your bigger dong and if you
begin feeling uncomfortable, release the pressure.  Take a ten minute break and
feel how fat that fucker is, notice how different it looks and imagine someone
tonguing its big head.  Enjoy another round if interested (do no more than this
if you are a novice!!!).

Now that you have been guided through a typical session, try other ways to
enhance the routine.  Some of us pump while at the computer (like right now).
Do it naked in front of mirrors. Turn on a hot video or telephone a buddy.
Do it with a friend or group of friends above all, Do It!

A small, but vocal group here has asked for some advanced techniques.  Knowing
that this message will be going out to a wide variety of guys around the world,
we would rather give generic and safe (within bounds) information about
pumping.  There always seems to be some stupid jerk who wants to stray from
the tried and true and then wind up hurting himself. Advanced techniques are
for pumpers who have at least 5 years of regular practice.  Anyone who would
like some advanced pumping tips on isolating areas like the cock and balls,
balls only or on other devices to be used during pumping like restraints (cock
rings, etc) or weights should contact Tener or Inchez on Harbor Bytes.  These
practice techniques are not for beginners or novices, you must work up to 
their proper use within a pumping regimen, so please practice safer and sane
methods for cock enlargement and/or genital dimensioning.

That's it for this part of the series.  Part III will discuss after-pump
practices - an overlooked but important consideration.  Let us know what you
think and keep sending in those comments and questions.  Just remember -
why settle for less, when bigger (in this case) is absolutely better!

      PUMPING 101                     PART III OF III          
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the final part in our three-part series on vacuum pumping.  Part I
examined the practical aspects of pumping such as time, place, space and
safety.  Part II was session oriented and discussed equipment, session
requisites and pump techniques.  This last Part looks at post-pump activities
which many men overlook.  Whether you use a hand vacuum pump or electro-pump,
it is important that you give as much attention to your cock after a pump
session as you gave it during your session.

Special thanks go out to Gerry Romine, Tener Yobone, Darryl Peeters, Rx,
Wicked Witcherd, Luis and Inchez.  It took many hours of discussion, wrangling
and editorial rehearsal to get this all together.  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You have now memorized Part I and for the last couple of months have been
experimenting with the ideas and techniques from Part II of this series.  Yep,
no doubt about it, your dick and your psyche have been changed.  Your cock
probably hangs lower when soft and looks and feels fatter.  When hard, you can
see some definition etched along the shaft of your boner.  While pumping, that
one-eyed serpent of yours oozes and strains to meet the sucking vacuum lips of
the cylinder.  With ruler and cloth tape measure in hand, you do notice some
length improvement (this is the hardest to develop) and as you wrap your fist
around your dong - it's fatter, buddy!  You have been doing your homework and 
have been recording your progress (remember-from the top to the cock tip).  
So there you are, monster meat in hand, so what do you do?  If you are like
most guys you are probably turned on at this point and just want some relief.
Hey that's ok, but let's get prudent for a moment (no, we are not the anti-
jerkoff police).

During pumping, your cock becomes fatter by vac-forcing normal bodily fluids
into the various vein and dermal structures of the penis.  As you pump down
from a session, your dick begins to respond to the lesser vac-pressures and
slowly starts to deflate.  At this point, it is very risky to engage in sex
because your putz has been internally pushed to its outer limits.  While we
as a group endorse passive cock manipulation after pumping, we caution against
strenuous and/or rough pulling (masturbation) for two, common-sense
reasons.  First, harsh pulling of the cock shaft immediately after a pump
session could cause dermal abrasion and possibly the tearing of the penile
skin.  Second, have you ever tried to urinate after a session?  You know how
unpleasant it feels and can you imagine the difficulty your cum would have to
go through (literally) in order to shoot out of your urethra (cock tube)?  We
recommend that after you finish your session, calm down and chill out for about
a half to a whole hour.

Take a short nap or better - get out some grease or lanolin lotion and slowly
work it onto your bigger dick and balls.  This is not whacking off - it is a
way  of keeping the outer skin supple and over time, enables the shaft skin to
stretch even further.  The point here is not erotic but simply practical in
that you will need to keep that boner of yours from drying out completely
after you have finished a session.  Lave that lotion on and relax on a couch
and rub and gently pull.  Go ahead fondle it.  This is difficult because your
first impulse is to stroke til you shoot but save that for later.  For now,
get in touch with your bigger and fatter anatomical manhood.

Two of the editors here wear leather cock rings after their sessions so that
they can retain the fatness edema longer (Sure looks hot and humpy in a pair
of jeans this way - what a pouch!).  Some of us agree on that but all of
us agree that the only way to pump down properly is in the buff.  That's right,
buck-ass nekkid with your balls swinging in the wind and your schlong moving
ahead of you like a rocket looking for a target.  Try not to confine your dick
while it is in the deflation mode, let it be free to go down uninhibited. 
Another two editors take warm and comfortable baths after they pump and 
report that the sensation is unbelievable.  The warm water and altered
sensitivity especially around the cockhead produce a mild rush and at the same
time, help the skin retain its' elasticity.  

For those of us seasoned and experienced (that means if you are still a novice
with less than 4-5 years of daily experience, do not attempt this) pumpers who
pump both cock and balls together, the advice on greasing down is very
important.  The scrotal sac is extremely delicate.  Think about this the next
time some number is licking, lapping and sucking your balls.  You must observe
the same grease conventions with your nutsack as with your pumped dick.  Again,
a warm bath, in this case, is preferred-as your manportions float above the
suds and slowly deflate in a warm, gentle and wet environment.  Those who
prefer bathing deflation report softer skins (possibly the aloe and lanolin
gels/oils they use in their bathwater).  This is also a great method for men 
of skin who might wish to loosen or lengthen their foreskins.

One editor (S&M aficionado) here practices with cock and ball weights after
pumping.  He attaches a harness to the area and adds lead weights for pull.
This is not recommended and again should only be attempted by experienced and
practiced pumpsmen at their own risk.  It is mentioned only as an advanced
technique (hope you don't have to jump up and get the telephone, Rx).  

Wait a second but when can I have sex?  Well, that depends on you, your rate
of deflation and the the type of sex you will be getting into.  Any act that 
would compromise your skin is not worth getting into because of the risks to
you-so you decide.  We are not wimping out here - we all want to show off our
bigger peckers and naturally want to impress our partners, but the risk you
take must be tempered within safer sex guidelines and protections.  J.O. is
O.K. after you have been through your normal deflation period.  A blow job is
fine as long as you put a rubber on that lubber.  Anal sex great, but if you
are the buttfucker and/or buttfuckee protect yourself.  Three editors here
are into self sucking and one of these guys has appeared on stage with his solo
acrobatics.  Anyway, sex does not have to be verboten as long as you prepare
yourself and your male parts for what may occur after deflation.

To review, remember that after a session; deflate at your own speed, don't
push and grease down.  If sex is on your agenda protect yourself!
