Cycling advice?

[HardTimes26]

After my first couple days of cycling, I'm able to reach about half-mast. So far, the AMS Tenacio bulb is tricky to grasp — keeps slipping around. And the tiny deflate button is tough to find; it seems to sit right under the scrotum stitches. My doc says to depress it for 5 seconds, then squeeze the shaft to return to flaccid. Other sites suggest that pushing the button should be enough. Still figuring it out...

Also, I think somewhere I read that once pumped up, it's important to stretch/bend the shaft, so it will orient upward? Is that correct?
