Advice on pump and tension rings

Great advice above. I only use the durex rings now I have a reasonable election with medication. I have exactly the same pump as you. As Chris said I was told not to use the rings supplied with the pump. I was given some very tight but super stretchy jelly rings on a separate prescription. Remember for exercise you don't need rings. Just leave the pump on. But for sex you do need a ring. Keep your pubic hair very trimmed is best. With the jelly rings you can usually squeeze a finger in and ease them off. Visit the imedicare.co.uk site who supply the pump and rings. I think they have prescription codes also.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I will look into the durex ones. I tried a few different ones tonight, included in the pack I had with the pump was a clear gel one and that seemed to be the best one, if a little tight. It seems quite hard to get the balance between comfort and sustaining an erection.

Lyn - I had no nerve sparing and expected to have no erectile function at all after the op. This was true at first, no amount of physical stimulation seemed to do anything for me. However after some weeks I seemed to get a little response. Then I was given viagra to try and on second use I actually got a semi erection. It wasn't enough for normal intercourse but it was certainly encouraging. Bearing this in mind - yes I think you may have a point there. When I release the vacuum my erection does reduce immediately, but I do hold a semi-erection for about 5-10 minutes.

Another question if I may, all instruction says that you must take the ring(s) off after 30 minutes. However I cant see any info on when you can use the ring again afterwards. Do you have to wait fr a while or can you 're-inflate' straight-away and start again?

Shortly after posting I went on to the durex site to have a look at the gel rings, it says on there to wait 60 mins between uses.

I have a different pump but at first had similar problems. Also had a problem with kind of bulging at the base of the shaft when stsrting off. I have now had a lot of practice and got the knsck .

First trim or shave. Then put the pump on and push it down against the skin gently with one hand. With the other hand gently ease\stretch out a small amount of skin from around the seal, just a few mm. Then keep pushing down firmly and start pumping. Mine is a hand pump and I start with just a couple of pumps then rest, a couple more then rest etc. This prevents the bulging. Once I get a fair, maybe half erection I can pump faster. Then if just excercising, when fully erect after a couple of minutes realease and start again. after the initial inflation I can pump faster right from the start of the next. I believe several inflations\deflations allows a change of blood in the penis, therfore supplying more oxygen etc to the tissue rather than maintaining a continuous erection.

Just what works for me, hope it helps. Good luck.

Cheers

Thanks guys. I have tried most of those things. 

I will try and shave a bit more. Ha, that is daunting if you haven’t done it before. I don’t think the cylinder is too big. It has two “comfort rings” in the end of the cylinder, one inside the other. I was very pleased to see that as the erection starts the inner ring is a little but on the small side       ;-)

 I have tried hanging onto the scrotum but it gets sucked in anyway. Once it starts to get sucked in there is no stopping it. It then starts to pull on the testicles and there is no choice but to stop.

Will I have to go for a bespoke fitting on Savile Row? But at least now my tailor won’t need to ask ‘Which side do you dress, Sir?’ any more, thanks to Dr Da Vinci. And I doubt I’ll need the ‘XLL Cylinder, Wide Penile Diameter, 11” available on request’ model in the brochure!

Cheers, John.

Reminds me of the first firm to make condoms in different sizes. They were Large, Medium and ‘Trim’!

Cheers, John.

I have been looking at the aptly named ‘SOMAerect STf’ brochure featuring their selection of pumps, and there is a choice of models.

It seems that thanks to the ministrations of Professor Whocannotbenamedhere and his sidekick Da Vinci, I won’t be needing to order the Response II model with the 11” XLL Cylinder and Wide Penile Diameter tube (to special order) any more.

I am intrigued that they offer a free home demonstration of the product. I wonder what the rep looks like - not that I could do her any justice in my present condition! Don’t think I’ll go for that.

So I am swayed by the SOMACorrect Xtra, one size fits all, with different sized tubes if miracles happen.

Any experience with this model? It’s promoted as a Penis GYM - it will be the first time I’ve been ‘in’ one since I left school forty five years ago!

Cheers, John.

Hi John 

This sounds like the one I have just obtained. 

I did have a home demonstration, it is not what you are thinking 😉😉  The chap was very knowledgable.

Is it from iMEDicare?

 I have found that a pump takes some getting used to. It can be painful to start with  

Yes, the brochure is from iMEDicare.

Does it come direct from them in a plain brown wrapper or do I have to pick one up from Boots or Anne Summers?

If it doesn't suit me I'll stick it in the dishwasher and flog it on eBay!

What are these Durex rings? Are they the ones that go round the scrotum too, like you see in some porno films?

I always remember I went to the Munich Beer Festival years ago and bought a 'Doc Johnson's Pulsating Cock Ring and Vibro' souvenir for Madam from Beate Uhse’s sex shop.

We only ever used it once as Her Loveliness complained 'It's like sitting on a food mixer!'

Cheers, John.
