Implanted, losing cycling size gain

[SteveSW]

I got my implant 18 months ago and cycled very aggressively and diligently for the first year. It paid off and I picked up 3/4" . I have since slacked off on the cycling, sometimes going days not cycling my dick. It gets used for sex a lot, but I don't inflate as much for sex. Just measured my dick, and I have lost a good quarter of an inch. Is this possible? I'm back to cycling hoping it helps because I sure don't want to lose that other half inch I gained.

I did notice this. I was up to my signature size with max pump adding cycling and when I really fell off after 2 years noticed some decrease. I started again and it seems to come back in several weeks. So it is not much of a concern to me. As long as you do some max inflation cycling it will return. Don't have to do this every day but a few times a week is good for me. Still a bit under my max but not enough to go to the trouble of max cycling every day. If you don't max inflate for sex it will not make a large difference anyway. I have the LGX and it expands in length more than the CX so I don't know how much if any difference this makes.

Relatedly I have been wondering if I need to keep using VED which is kinda a hassle. Is it sufficient, do you guys think, to do the cycling 2-3 times a week like newbie suggests, including the Perito exercise?

Oh, your "gains" weren't permanent?

I think what you are experiencing is something known as "reality" - it is a place where if you quit exercising a part of your body, it gets out of shape.

The solution? Start exercising again. It keeps you in shape.

Edit: Oh I'm not trying to sound like a dick btw. I'm making fun of the idiots who do penis enlargement. It boggles my mind they think they can make their dicks permentenantly bigger. Men have been trying to do that shit for over 10,000 years. It doesn't fucking work!

I don't actually know anything but I'd think giving up VED use isn't a great idea. It'd be my guess that the science with all that blood flow pressure to corporal sinusoids stuff that's way too smart for me to understand is more helpful than pumping something by hand.

But one cool thing with implants is if you do decide to quit using a VED and you notice it does cause more size loss than you want, then, start using it again! Pretty sure implants let us bypass worrying about crap like permanently losing size. You can get it back.

I thought about this more and fyi I don't actually know that either. I'm wondering, if someone is a year out of surgery, does anyone think that if they don't exercise and lose a decent amount of size, can it be recovered later? Has anyone tried?

I first assumed I would use a VED for about a year after my surgery, then I get what I want and I'm completely done with them. But I realized a month or two ago that using a VED is now just kinda a part of my life I'll be doing for the foreseeable future. Which is fine, just depends on if it's something you want to spend some amount of time with and if it's worth it, I guess.

But I also realized this recently...about 5 years ago I was morbidly obese, 270lbs. Since then I've worked out every part of my body to get in pretty good shape. Why did I do that? Basically, it's to get more opportunities to use my dick. So, I exercised everything to get more chances to use my dick, but I never thought it exercise the damn thing itself??
