Erecting the Erection - Medication

I would be very cautious about the Viberect John - the research on its efficacy was done with a group of men from age 25 - 40 (mean age was 26.9), none of whom had ED. For men with partial erections, the stimulation may produce a stronger, firmer hard on but it is not going to produce an erection in a man unless his nerves have repaired. It might be more useful (and cheaper) to buy a TENS machine. That's not to say the viberect mightn't be fab for getting an orgasm but don't rely on it to cure ED.

My other concern would be to check with the urologist or oncologist first. The vibration should in theory be like a very, very vigorous hand-job only much more so but I would want to know whether there is any risk of activating / dispersing any left-over cancer cells. That may not be the case but conscious that men with PCa shouldn't have back massages etc except from a physio / masseur / chiro that is specially trained, I wonder whether this could carry the same risk?

Tihs.  No one has ever warned me of this.  Not that I have had any back massages, or any massages for a while now, :-(

Is anything else risky?  Is very very vigorous hand applied exercise risky in any way?

Hello fellow sufferers -men and women
So after 11 months now of committed daily pumping and no actual natural function at all since RP , being the proactive kind of guy I am , I decided to self fund and take daily Cialis 5 mg .. I've been on it just over a week with my doctor"s permission. Side-effects seem to be indigestion and making my normal back ache worse.
And so the planets aligned and jiggy jiggy occurred this morning , and a definite healthy 50% erection erected. Not enough for penetration but big smiles haha.
Thing is , reading other's posts , IS this any better than pump alone ?? Yes lovely to be harder without all the paraphernalia, but only a lazy lob. Now I don't know what to do re Viridal injections to get a full useable erection ( if not painful ). ED nurse yesterday texted to me to NOT mix these drugs. He didn't even suggest injection dose reduction ( which was my plan of action ).
I think I'm gonna stick with 4 months Cialis now I've bought it , use the pump daily for exercise , and maybe risk an injection when we next feel fruity , which isn't that often these days tbh since this disease hit us. I'll make it a lunchtime so I can get to A&E if needs be.
Best wishes travellers

Hi L
Please take the time to try Colwick Chris' Flaccid sex. We just couldn't get round to it but tried the other week. It would be inappropriate to say too much but with time and effort we both agreed it could be awesome. Google the 'scissors' position where you are perpendicular to each other. You need a big bed , lube if needed , two pillows and then just relax , breathe. I was amazed at what I could achieve by doing absolutely nothing !!!

Hi Chris

Good to hear that you are back on the bones, wish I could say the same.

I take 5mg daily of Cialis with no side effects, and a 20mg when the notion takes me,  I too have noticed a reduction with my wee fella who seems to have lost a bit of length, I too believe it is the HT implant that I received 3 months ago, have another implant this Wednesday, cannot wait for that, plus I think that not having any erections for 8 months has contributed towards the loss of length. Really getting me down with the lack of erection, tried to get a pump from the NHS but was told to wait and try Cialis first. May have to buy one myself as my next appointment with the ED nurse isn't until October.

Have a great time on holiday and try and put this s*** to the back of your mind, I know that it is not easy as I have just returned back from Tenerife and it is hard to forget our problems. The holiday was more relaxed this time as I couldn't drink much due to my wee urinary problem I have at present but still enjoyed the time away in the sunshine.

Onwards and upwards

Cheers
