I usse a manual pump from Augusta Medical, which cost a little over $100, and I have been using it for 4 years. It comes with rings to adjust the size of the opening (not the same thing as the cock rings to hold your erection). These rings work well to keep your balls out of the vacuum cylinder. I u...

I've had a trimix gel prescrition, but didn't do well with the applicator which is supposed to squirt the mixture up the urethra. It would just squirt out to the side, or wouldn't go in far enough and would come right back out. Has anyone tried the transurethral trimix mentioned on this site? The sh...

James, You asked about how wives accept their husbands using the Prelude. I told my wife about it right away, as soon as I got it. I demonstrated it for her and showed her the directions that came with it. She understands its purpose is to maintain healthy penile tissue. I work out with it pretty mu...

Are you snapping on a constriction ring before removing the pump and sleeve? Philip

Yes, it is necessary. You need to be doing some kind of penis therapy to keep the tissue healthy when natural erections are not occuring on a regular basis. A normal healthy man has erections at night, and occasionally during the day, even if he is not sexually active. This is how nature keeps the p...

The Augusta Medical pump, which I use, comes with two black rubber rings which are used to adjust the size of the opening to accomodate different size shafts. You can use both rings, one ring, or none, depending on how thick your shaft is. These are not the same as the constriction rings used for ke...

Congratulations, notsostiff! Let us know how the vib-erect works when you get it. I've also tried the stretching exercise, and can feel the pull-back reflex, but there is no filling going on for me at this point. Keep up the good work.

I used some samples my doctor gave me. They were easy to insert, and it took only about 10 minutes to get a usable erection. The downside was some pain (achy balls), and the fact that the erection went away when I laid down. When I stood up, the erection came back in just a few minutes, so we had in...

I'm glad they were able to make the device transparent: it does add to the experience to be able to see what's going on inside the cylinder.

Yeah, well of course I'll still have to use the VED for sex with my wife. Sometimes I use it before we start, so I can have an erection during foreplay, and especially when she goes down on me, then I have to go repump and put on a tighter ring for intercourse. Now I'm thinking maybe I can use the P...
