I agree with stmfttr. I do something similar when I cycle. I do pump to maybe 85-90% -- feels damn hard at that point but still bendable -- and then bend it up, down, sideways as per the Perito exercise, but I don't bend to 90 degrees. I'm not at that point yet. I got my implant on August 1, and I h...

Wow, what great news! I think you're probably home free now. And I think it's going to get better. I can get 25 pumps out of mine at the moment, although it's pretty uncomfortable when it's that hard. I think and hope, from what I've read, that I should be able to pump it to the max pretty soon, wha...

I think cwatt1 means his pump get softer after about 20 squeezes, not his penis. That is exactly what I mean. And my penis doesn't seem to get any softer once I reach that point. So the idea of a release valve makes sense to me, to prevent over-pumping, I guess. It just surprises me, because everyt...

I absolutely agree with everyone. And also keep in mind that people heal at different rates. The first week, sometimes as in my case the first couple, are kinda tough, but it's just temporary. Be patient, be kind to yourself, don't rush it. I was implanted August 1 and feel it's one of the best thin...

Thanks very much! Makes sense. I thought based on what I have read elsewhere that I wouldn't be able depress the pump after maxing out. It takes less than 20 pumps to get there, but I'm sure that's because I have a small penis.

Hi all, I can inflate and get my penis as hard as a wooden peg, but I can't seem to get to max inflation. At some point pumping gets easier. I'm sure I have no leak because I can stay hard as long as I want, but I don't understand why pumping would get easier. Initially it gets more difficult to pum...

Thanks guys! I'll keep at it. I do like riseagain's suggestion about doing the exercise partially inflated, and hopefully working up to doing it at full max.

It's a lot easier to bend in all directions if I don't hold on to the base of the penis, but I'm not sure how much value that gives me. It does seem to allow a couple of additional pumps.
