Hey brothers, how much do you have to pump until it's rock hard?

[Chris1967]

Hey guys, how many pumps do you have to use until it's rock hard? I need 20 full pumps, 10 half pumps, and 4 to 6 mini pumps. Then I stand at a three o'clock angle and it's so hard it hurts.

I can’t break it down to full pumps and half pumps.
But if I cycle to what is very hard it takes about 35- 40 pumps.

When it is ‘rock hard’ it sits at around 1:30 to 2:00 pm. Doesn’t hurt but if I leave it inflated for say 30 minutes plus it gets uncomfortable.

For sex I’m finding about 30 pumps is the sweet spot. Hoping that over the months this may trend up a little but am not too fussed.

Just nice to have an ever reliable guaranteed erection whenever it is needed

Every pump is a different amount, even for an individual person... not only do they get smaller as it gets harder, your fingers are never going to be 100% consistent. On top of that, it completely depends on just how flat you squeezed the cylinders out when you deflated last, and this is almost impossible to replicate reliably.

The only thing that matters is how stiff you need to be, how much pressure you can bear, etc. Cycle as aggressively as you can without any sharp or shooting pains.

It's very unusual that your hoses broke after only 12 weeks. What happened? I think Rigicon has redesigned their hoses? Did you install the Pulse pump correctly? Or was the Wiedersehen not installed correctly?

When I noticed I had a leakage problem and raised the issue with my urologist his main concern was that I get a revision done asap. He was very honest with me. He said it was either a) a failure in the line or b) that it may have been pricked inadvertently by a needle when stitching me up. No hint of trying to cover up or make any excuses.

He said that he was going to send the old implant to USA (I live in Australia) to see if they could find why it leaked.

When I went for a post op check up after the revision I forgot to ask!!! It annoyed me at first because I had an obvious interest but over a period of time it mattered less. Just happy (fingers crossed) that the revision worked well.

I now just put it down to ‘shit happens’

Chris, lots of good answers from our FrankTalk brothers on your post. Edjohn is right, it varies every time, it's not always the same, and it's not the same with different implants.

Early in my journey, I would pump it faster and not do wall to wall pumps and it would take a lot of pumps to get me hard.
After six months of healing I started doing wall to wall pumps which took longer but it took a lot less pumps to get rock hard. It usually takes me 25 pumps to get to a good level of hardness and I'm around 2 to 2:30 pm upward, then after a few minutes the tissue stretches and it will sag to around 3pm, so I'll give it some more pumps around 5 to 6 and it will get back to 2 to 2:30. When I start having PIV sex with my wifey and we change positions and I pull out, I can still get a few more micro pumps in to make it even harder. The wifey likes it super hard!
At 4 years out from surgery I can go a lot longer fully pumped without discomfort from being pumped to the max.

Thank you so much for your answers. How long did you experience pain at the beginning when pumping at 100 percent?
