 Sierra Leone was an English colony and English is like a mother tongue. Funnily, whilst gys here a fairly huge, the girls are quite tight. That's something to think about - fillers must not be moving about.

If, as jimmy-the blade says, a Bathmate gives gains of 0.5" - 0.75" for "most of the day" then I consider that as PE without any risks at all. I've seen a post about it elsewhere by hoddle 10 also. I should start researcing this ...

 Hyperblu.
The Hydro Max does not require a Cock ring and I haven't found that it impacts Erection quality. I will admit to keeping Cialis in my system though because I like a sure thing.

As for frequency, I pump in the shower in the morning and in the evening. I don't pump for more than 15-20. 2 to 3 pumps per shower, just for a short break and to massage. I find it best to put the pump on with an Erection. That advice came from Miracle8. Can't take credit. You should read his thread

I use an ads leg strap system for 4-8 hours during the day, but that's because I'm also trying to add length.

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

 Do you know of any long-term effects? permanent gains? Any detrimental effect?

My psychiatrist told me try and reach out to people who have dealt with body dysmorphic issues, and get their opinions and advice. Since then, I have joined a weight loss group and begun working out and I feel it helps my confidence. I may actually go to the beach this year for the first time in over a decade. This is an area I've always had an issues with but I've always tried to convey confidence so I didnt appear weak. I always envisioned and been told a man, is strong and confident in all areas of his life. I've been going to a psychiatrist since I was 12 years old after an incident that I dont particularly care to get into, but it began my hatred of myself. That girl was the first girlfiend I felt truly accepted me. I had a few before, all spoke of their others and their sizes some were bigger, some smaller. I have always tried to find out where I sit. Not out of hubris but because I've always been terrified I didnt add up. Did I show that..HELL NO! I've been able portray false confidence, well enough to skate by. Some saw through it, others did not.

> Truly I did not mean to upset this group at all. If you would like me to abstain from posting or have me leave the site I will. I look at all of you and what you've been through like a safe haven to discuss my insecurities no matter how I compared to all of you. I dont EVER wish to down play any one and what they have been through. I came here in an attempt to gain advice, reassurance, peace with myself and because I felt that you all could guide me in the right mental and physical direction. Again please, especially you smalljay, I did not mean in any way to offend or upset. I've attached 3 pictures. 2 taken in my bathroom as its the best mirror I have available. and one laying down because I'm still ashamed of my stomach. AGAIN TRULY SORRY...THIS WAS NOT MEANT AS MALICIOUS...

I was small chief, I got the procedure done with Dr C, you have a good Dick

Im reading your story and I have noticed an issue, Your former fiance was a size queen, sounds like [your current gf?] is a skank and I am assuming the co-worker knew you had a girlfriend and was ready to jump your bones before you told her your girlfriend is a kinky skank and she is cool with it.

Maybe its not you thats the problem, maybe the caliber of women your with is your problem, maybe I am ethics police

but just sayin!

 As long as you don't over pump, I'm not aware of any side effects. As for permanent gains, I haven't noticed any, but I've only been at this about a year. Some long term Pumpers may tell a different story. Good luck.

One, don't EVER call my gf a skank. She actually is a fantastic and loving woman. Who cares more about me than anyone I know. Two, just because there are other partners in my relationship does not mean that she is a skank, of a lower caliber than anyone, unethical, or a wonderful human being. Its called Polyamory. Look it up if you have to.
