Pumping before sex can be addicting.

Pumping your penis to a larger size, and then having sex with your larger penis, is a very validating experience.

Not only can it physically feel better for you, but the reactions, facial expressions, and sounds that come from your woman or partner can be flattering and ego-stroking.

It is so dopamine-inducing, that we can become dependent and addicted to pumping before having sex.

So how do you not become dependent on pumping before sex?

Let's flesh it out and look at this common question in depth.

Why do men like pumping before sex?

Pumping before sex gives you temporary gains and some extra size to play with during sex.

Every man who has successfully pumped before having sex knows that after your pumping session, your unit is larger, harder, or girthier than before the session.

Having sex with a partner while your penis is in this enlarged post-pumping state can be a very exciting and fulfilling experience.

Why is pumping before sex bad?

Pumping before sex can be bad if you attach a lot of your self worth to having a larger penis.

It can also be bad if you derive a lot of your sexual competence and confidence from having a larger penis.

If you think that you can only pleasure your partner and give her orgasms with a larger penis, then this may lead to sexual avoidance, low self esteem, and body dysmorphia.

If you are unable to have sex, and unable to get and maintain an erection unless you have just pumped, then that is a clear sign you may be dependent and addicted to pumping before sex.

When is pumping before sex not a bad thing?

If you pump daily and it's simply part of your regular routine, then pumping before sex isn't a bad thing.

As long as you pump daily and even on days when you don't have sex, then pumping before sex on days when you do have sex is more natural.

How to not be dependent on pumping before sex

While pumping before sex isn't always a bad thing, if you've developed an addiction to it, then there are a few ways to rectify the situation.

1. Create a Regular Pumping Routine

Create a regular pumping schedule that is independent of when you have sex. Focus on long-term results rather than short term temporary gains. View pumping as a training tool that you do regularly irrespective of the prospect of sex. If you happen to have sex on your training days, then it's simply a coincidence and you can enjoy the benefits.

2. Build Sexual Confidence Without Your Penis

Become comfortable getting aroused and producing an erection without having a pumped up penis. Engage in foreplay and use other tools like your fingers and mouth for intimacy and sexual pleasure with your partner. Understand that the penis is just one part of the entire sexual experience.

3. Have Sex When Not Pumped

Have sex with your partner on days that you don't pump so you can learn what many men already know - your partner can still feel turned on, pleasured, and have fulfilling sexual experiences with you, as you are, and without having a pumped up penis.

Experiment with different positions, angles, and techniques to expand your sexual repertoire.

4. Focus on Psychological and Emotional Connections

The psychological and emotional connection during sex is just as important as the physical aspects for many women and men out there.

Learn how to tease, arouse, dominate, and pleasure your partner using your words and emotions.

5. Enhance Your Penis in Other Ways Besides Pumping

Enhancing your penis in other ways besides pre-sex pumping can help you alleviate your addiction to pumping before sex.

Jelqing is a great technique for enhancing blood flow to your penis which will give you greater erection quality, a harder erection, and a bit of size if you're normally at less than 100% erect.

Improving your pelvic floor via kegels and reverse kegels is another great way to enhance erection quality which can result in harder erections and some potential untapped size.

Soft clamping via silicone cock rings leading up to sex can also create a bit of a temporary pump that is less extreme than pumping.

Final Thoughts

Dependent and addicted to anything is normally a bad thing, and being addicted to pumping before sex is no different.

The best way to cure this addiction is to incorporate penis pumping into your normal daily or regular routine so that you focus on long term gains instead of temporary short term gains. This will also remove the brain's reward system and release of dopamine associated with experiencing pleasure only after you pump.

Lastly, you can work on building up your sexual confidence, becoming a more holistic lover, and ultimately having sex often when you haven't pumped to create new positive feedback loops.
