I have ED, take 5mg/d tadalifil (Cialis) and I use a pump for both PE and in the ED battle. I also use a c-ring for sex.
Entering the cylinder flaccid is basically it for me. I typically pump to a low pressure to let my dick get filled out, then start my routine. I apparently am one of the few that need to use the cylinder at a little higher pressures. I don’t get any response at any pressure below 5 in-Hg, and my routine now is 7-8 in-Hg for 15-20 min twice a day. At the end of my routine I will increase pressure to 15 or ocassionally 20 and note the ending length.
ED is commonly an issue with blood flow (there are other causes) and so several times a day I will pump for few minutes in the 5-6 in-Hg range, just enough to plump up the dick and keep the blood circulating. My sense is that improved blood flow leads to a more healthy dick.
Also due to my ED the days of walking around with an erection are over. Tadilifil does provide an erection but it is the “just in time” kind. During foreplay I’ll generally get a nice little chubby, just enough to remind me that my equipment is still in the game. Then I’ll slide on the c-ring, using lots of lotion, and a couple hand strokes will help with the erection. Generally it’s pretty full, if not it’s enough to penetrate and will fill out quickly then.
Initial: 7” BPEL; 6” NBPEL; 5.25” - 5.5” MEG
Current: 7-7/8” BPEL; 7-3/8” NBPEL; 8.5” BPFSL; 6.5” MEG; 6”x5” Flaccid.
Goal: Improved/consistent EQ while managing ED. Secondary: maintain current stats.
