Alright Justin, I'll be serious. I have been using one on and off for a few weeks now and if you pump it too much it will hurt...you have to apply even pressure. I actually have stuck with using the Jelq method (and have actually been starting to have some noticeable results) rather than the pump more lately. I am very happy with my girth, but would like to add another inch or so if possible. As I continue using the Jelq method I also plan on using the pump again as well. I am not involved in a sexual relationship right now-so I figure this is the best time to work on adding a little bit more size before I get into a relationship again.
