Been lurking

New poster long time lurker.

Houston texas guy. Relatively young (42). No official diagnosis but EQ at 40% for a couple years.
Been using VED for awhile and seems to improve EQ some. Mostly resigned to getting an implant due to PAD. Maybe 5 years out on the decision.

For anyone who claims using VED's arent helpful..i may beg to differ. I guess everyone is different but ive gotten what id consider tremendous success in the last 3 years. Hoping to see permanent gains through implant. If anyone wishes to discuss feel free.

And nope...im not selling anything. Lol.

EQ?

csr1224 SAID he's been lurking for a long time. Obviously he read the Acronym list and is not afraid to use it.


DW -- Dear Wife
Dx -- Diagnosis
ED -- Erectile Dysfunction
EQ -- Erection Quality
FT -- FrankTalk
HF -- Hard Flaccid

But I'lll be darned if I know what a "Hard Flaccid" is.

HF -- Hard Flaccid......But I'lll be darned if I know what a "Hard Flaccid" is.

Maybe a malleable implant bent down ??

Who mentioned a hard flaccid? Where did that come from?

[csr1224]

Anywho... . Have any of you out there committed to serious VED use prior to implant? If so id be interested to hear any success stories.

I spotted it in the Acronyms list, then wondered about it.

I found its use (vacuum pump to an erection then apply a constriction ring) for sex to be rather unsatisfactory. It can be done and we did have sex twice. It was not very relaxing, but we found it manageable and couples do succeed.

I used the VED to maintain elasticity and recovered nearly an inch of recently lost size (I was able to get erections of enough duration to measure using pills and stimulation, but they never stayed more than a few seconds). Over-pumping gave me an erection inside the tube about 3/4 inch longer than I could achieve outside the tube, but pumping more than that resulted in giving myself edema. The extra 3/4 inch was illusory, I think, because the vacuum would pull about that much pubic tissue into the tube, giving my erection an artificially advanced "platform" or booster seat.

There are a few medical journal studies that recommend pre-op vacuum therapy and those therapies divide into two protocols. They have been cited on this forum a number of times.

Vacuum on the penis for about 30-60 minutes daily or twice daily. This stretches the tissues and maintains size and elasticity.

Vacuum on the penis for about 30-60 minutes daily or twice daily applying intermittent vacuum and release. This not only does the size and elasticity thing but flushes blood through the penile tissues.

Agree with everything stated. Ive gone a bit over recommended vacuum pressures for brief periods (perhaps 30 seconds) then released to 10mmhg. Before i started pumping my natural erections were 6.25ish. My FSL is 7.75 bone pressed. I have reached 8.2" in the tube but know this is obviously not an actual erection length. With what i can stretch to now though...im wondering if there is any way to know for certain if the "fsl measurement " taken in office will equate to any gain past 6.25"? I would think at least a little.
There was no way in heck i could ever stretch 7.75 before pumping 3 years.
