girth gains but spongy erection? any thoughts?

[Thedorkykid]

Ive been recovering for a while from a long sex session then pumping.I went two days with no penile activity, and I wanted to see if I was recovered so I edged instead of pumping, I got crazy expansion when I kegaled it looked like I gained some girth even my glans seem bigger but my erection was really spongy the only time it was hard was when I do'ed.
Any body know whats going on there? Not sure to continue recovery or have another pe session?
Thank you for your time.

Here is part of a PM I recently sent to someone, I think it would be a usefull read.

I have done a lot of reading over the years on many different forums and one thing that rings true or common in most is that you can do pumping two different ways. One is basically extreme pumping or the pumping to get your bone as fat as you can per session and with this type of pumping edema is acceptable and favorable but in conversations with a few of these fellas all or almost all admit that they never or seldomly see permenant gains of any type. It is great for sex and if your lady is cool with it and that is all you are after than you are meeting your objective.

The other type of pumpers seek permenant gains. this is accomplished by long sets or more sets at a lower hg or negative vacuum pressure. The goal with this is to find exactly how much you can do with out getting edema and this is where gains come from. I am not sure why from a scientific stand point but it is the way it works.

If you seek permenant gains You will have to do a few experimental runs and see what your limits are. An example would be to do your normal set and stop when you start to get the build up of lymph fluid at a certain pressure or at a certain amount of sets at that pressure.

My example. I pump at 5 hg and find that I can go for 2, 20 minute sets and in the third I start getting build up so the next day I go down to 4 hg and can do 3 complete 20 minute sets at that new and lower hg. That means that I get more pump time in and no edema so I will get better permenant gains at 4 hg than I will at 5 because I can stay in the pumped state longer.

I did these experiments after I had been getting edema badly when I started and I went and read and read and PMed with many pumpers. I noticed that all those who made permenant gains kept repeating the same theme, low pressure and longer or more sets.

You would be better off to do twice as many sets at half of the pressure. You wont get the eye candy effect of pumping up to the same girth at first but you will be surprised at how little time it will take to get that girth after a few weeks of switching your style and it will be solid blood and tissue, not edema.

Any how I just wanted to share some pumping veteranship with ya and I hope it helps. I am always available to Pm about pumping and I dont mind at all. I am currently a hanger but I have my pumping balck belt so feel free.

Edema is the body's natural reaction to tissue strain. When you lift weights you create micro tears in your muscles. The body's natural reaction is to surround the tissue with some lymph fluid. There is some degree of lymph fluid after a good work-out.

If you go too far, i.e. sprain or pull a muscle, there will be significant swelling because of the lymph fluid. This is suppose to compress the injury and reduce bloodflow in the area.

For PE it is not unusual to experience slight edema after a routine. However, you need to ask yourself, "Is it more than last time? When was my last break or rest? Is my body reacting like it is a serious injury? Is this an indication I need a break?"

If you are getting more than a uniform puffiness, then you may be irritating some tissue. Does the edema return the first jelq session after a break or does it take a while?

Seriously, are you talking about third spacing fluid, extra vascular? Edema is a side effect of a number of serious medical conditions: congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, fluid overload, sepsis, peripheral vascular disease malnutrition and this is to name just a few. I'm gone to say penile edema is defiantly not considered gains. Besides looking like a water balloon around your dick I've never even heard of anyone getting wood with penile edema. Once the medical condition is treated and vascular tone is restored, third spaced fluid mobilizes it's self meaning we pee it off. I am curious about how one would go around getting edema just in ones penis.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post these links mrb8 but I think it went away or was a false alarm im not sure but I warmed up and then cool downed a little and stared to edge and it went great.in the beginning it didnt really get hard as I continue it got rock hard.the "gains" that I thought I made were gone, but my eq increased

Congrats!

Indeed, alternating between heat and cold helps clear fluid build up as it acts like the pump that is lacking in the lymphatic system, so does a massage (in this case the edging)!

You are welcome.
