You didn't say whether you needed to use it with rings. I used to use the Vacurect system, but their rings did not do the job for me. It is an easy system to apply rings but the pump is a little more complicated. I never tried the Encore pump but did use their rings - again same problem. I did try t...

I use a VED for both exercise and sex. For exercise I pump up using an inexpensive Amazon VED and pump until a little uncomfortable, never to pain, hold for a short while and release, repeat and repeat. As I continue, I am able to increase the amount of vacuum without pain. The time I pump can vary ...

I too, have bad veinous leakage and unable to get an erection. I've tried all the pills and injections with little or no satisfactory results. In your case since you do not have insurance, I would suggest that you invest in a decent quality VED and rings. It's the only procedure that works for me an...

I have the same situation as Another Old Man. Could not achieve a decent erection until I went to (2) Osbon Erecaid Rings. Now erections are usually good for 20 minutes or so (25 -30 being the limit.) I use (2) "D" rings (gray and beige) and when I first tried them, I was fearful about bei...

I had the same issue. I think in my case I was trying too hard - every time I was getting the feeling, it was like I was forcing the issue and not relaxing. When I realized I was tensing myself and stopped worrying about it, I would finally have an orgasm (unfortunately retrograde but it is what it ...

Let me clarify the rings. There are constriction rings that are placed on the pump, which are snapped into position at the base of the penis shaft while still under vacuum, when the erection is achieved. The vacuum can then be released, and the VED removed. There is a shield that comes with many VED...

I use an Osbon system with 2 rings very successfully. Wife did not like it at first because of the feel of the rings but solved that with a thin rubber shield over the rings. She also said it didn't look of feel natural because of the hardness and color, but she got over that. I tried several VED sy...

Welcome to my world newt69! It's called retrograde ejaculation. There are quite a few postings on the subject here on FT. Just search on "Retrograde" and they will pop up. From what I can tell, I am still ejaculating but it reverses and goes into the bladder - some comes out when I urinate...

I use the Adam & Eve "Make Me Cum" product and it seems to help me. I put some on the glans and shaft followed by water soluble lube before VED pumping and applying rings. It is a very small bottle, but I use it sparingly so it lasts for a while.

I can't understand why you cannot hold a vacuum. I use a cheap battery powered pump for exercising and have no problem getting and holding an erection. The vacuum does very slowly leak out even though I do manscape. Without the pump, I get no erection at all and without using rings the erection goes...
