VED for yous modern guys. This is the story of me. This story is true. I don’t embellish. A technical writer. Born 1964. Embarrassing to type out? Yes. Oh yes. Years of pent up? Yes. Type the feelings out. After 58 years and 3+ decades being married, F-it. Type. I think I’m in good company thankfull...

When I pump, it's easy to get discomfort at the base.
Perhaps try pulling on the tube just a little bit under vacuum and resetting it. A couple gentle pulls, maybe a tiny twist.
See if that works.
My go-to for pain at the base.

Thanks Old Guy!

58 yrs old, lost it starting in my late 40's. Had pumped sometimes to maximize what I had then. Gave up in my early 50's. It is embarrassing to lose it. Just looking for a home to learn and perhaps add info. Now I'm trying to get back what I had. Like the old saying, use it or lose it. Thank you adm...
