nbriley -- Glad your pump is easy to access and you are healing well!! I remember feeling a bit tender there for a few days, so it should resolve shortly. Have you started feeling around the pump to identify the components? I did that probably at about 9 days or so, then did brief pump and deflate w...

11 Week Update: Brief Summary from the past: - Implanted on Sept 13th - Pump activation at 2 weeks - 3 weeks started cycling when pump was easier to access with scrotum swelling almost to 0 - Had very slow intercourse at week 4 -- quite uncomfortable though and at weeks 5-6 I had no sex due to disco...

9 week update Brief summary is: - Week 2 got acquainted with the pump and did small inflate, deflate cycles (guys who are pumping on day 3 totally impress me, week 2 was awkward enough for me) - Week 3 got serious about inflating and deflating - Week 4-5 had very careful sex -- head of penis very se...

Whew -- sounds like a close call Matt. I am at 8 weeks post op and a few days ago I noticed a spot (4-5 mm) at the top of the incision line (based of penis) that had a wet clear substance on it, like a stitch had popped. I was surprised by this because it was 2 months ago. I sent a pic to my doc and...

8 weeks post op -- here are a few of my issues: * I regularly felt the "pop" when starting to pump. At 7 weeks though, I met with my doctor and he showed me how to fully deflate which I had been struggling with (basically I just needed to squeeze the sides of the penis much more than I had...

Congrats Bob!! So happy for you and your wife!! Sex is critical for an intimate relationship and a powerful, emotional part of the human experience ED robs us of the ability to connect, love, and share deeply which is why it is so detrimental to us I am not joking when I say I would rather be blind ...

Congrats on taking the step. You seem like you have a good attitude and experience thus far. My scrotum was way too swollen to even find the pump. I'm so impressed that on day 3 you could pump (I was about day 19). I had the incision in the scrotum though so tugging on the scrotum to find and push t...

I'm trying to follow this cause I definitely want to maximize. Someone mentioned that it hurts like hell though and I am experiencing that. Pump some, stretch, pump more, stretch, etc. After about 45 minutes the pain is enough that I am almost seeing stars, lol. I can barely walk, and am shaking sli...

I agree with the "you'll know it's time" comments; if sex is satisfactory for you then it might not be time yet. Once you start wanting to avoid sex, or you or your partner aren't satisfied, it's time. The thing that was great about this site is that I had spent a good year before going ah...

Day 35 Update -- 5 weeks since surgery Been cycling every other day for about 60 minutes for 2 weeks -- the shaft and the head get quite sore during inflation -- after about 30 or 45 minutes there's almost continuous "bursts" of sharp pain in the shaft and head. It's hard to gauge, but I t...
