If I had a lot of Muse I would give it a try, but prescriprions limit the number to one a month-I know its expensive!
Under NHS guidelines you are entitled to one per week so don't accept this one-a-month malarkey lying down.
If the pump isn't working you are possibly still doing something wrong - do you
- keep the pubic hair very short (or better still, shave)
- use plenty of lube on your pubic skin and on the end and inside of the tube
- have you perfected the technique of transferring the ring from tube to base of penis without breaking the vacuum (from observing J, I think that is the most difficult bit)
- tried combinations of two different rings
- tried a different brand of ring (we had the Osbon Erecaid but used Farnhurst rings)
If you can get engorged in the vacuum, there will be no physical reason not to remain engorged once you place the ring(s)
