I have taken prescription SSRI antidepressants and other mental health drugs for many years. For a long time I was ignorant of the effect on my libido. About 5-6 years ago, my psych weaned me off of medications that he said I didn't need now that I am quite a bit older. One of these was paroxetine (...

Yes, my use is for pleasure. I am an older guy, so about twice a week works for me. I am retired and live alone, so have time and space. Usually devote several hours on an afternoon to a 'session'. Pump up and masturbate for a while, then remove the restriction ring, rest a bit, then resume. Makes f...

I use the Encore impoaid system which places the constriction ring at the base of the penis after inflation. I find it useful to have several sizes of rings: numbers nine, seven, six, five, and four. I do not use a number three because it is too small. I found it best to experiment with various size...

Just to point out: there are various sizes of restriction rings that you can use. Mine are the Encore Impo-Aid rings. Their numbering system runs from 9 down to 3, with 3 the tightest. I currently have a 9, 7, 6, 5, and 4. I don't use the 3, it is too tight for me. This is an important part of my li...

Hey Guys I was just cleared for sex after my six weeks of healing for penile implant. I need to invest in a good quality VED for cycling. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality VED? All I can find are cheap VED’s that don’t appear to be worth buying. Thank you for your recommendations...

I have never used a pump with a gauge. I can tell by experience and 'feel' when it is enough. Also can tell by how far up the transparent tube the end goes; also when the perimeter touches the inner walls of the tube, that is about enough. Learned early on not to over pump, and now avoid any small b...

Better than without...

If I limit the time with the restriction band on (say 30 minutes), there is not a cold effect. Longer than that, it will feel cold. Removing the band for a few minutes allows re-circulation and can start over. Minor side effect for me.

I have battled depression for 30+ years. I have a savvy psychiatrist whom I have seen for last 18 years. He literally saved my life in 2001. Strongly recommend you seek help from a psychiatrist, and perhaps psychologist. Both have helped. No need to go this alone. Yes, I take anti-depressants; took ...

+ 1 for the Encore battery pump
