Erection Problems--Around the Waist Vacextender?

Hey guys, lately I have used my Vacextender around the waist for about 3-4 hours on each side. I get a really good stretch, actually an excellent one! However, it seems as though my erection quality is decreasing and I am trying to figure out if it is this technique or the cold medication I am taking.

When using the Vacextender around the waist I am usually able to keep the device on for several hours without any real discomfort other than the ring digging into my dick. Sometimes I do feel the need to let up off the tension and switch sides or keep it on the same side to allow the blood to flow. However, I do not think I am cutting off any blood supply as my unit does not get cold. It also does not get numb, but it is an odd feeling that I get so I release some of the tension at the base and kegel.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone else here who uses the Vacextender or any other device around the waist with the ring at the base of your penis experienced any decrease in erection quality?

2. What type of “cushion” do you guys use so the ring will not dig into the base of your penis?

3. How long do you usually wear the device?

If the cold medication you are taking contains Sudafed (pseudoephedrine), that will lower your erection quality.

I’ve worn a homemade ‘root-loop’ vac extender last year for over 600 hours— ~8-10 hours a day for ~ 10 weeks, exclusively to the left [I’ve a leftward tilt and don’t mind maintaining a very very minor curve that permits to to rub my glans on her G spot in certain positions]— and suffered no erectile issues whatsoever.

And other than some superficial skin irritation, no problems

Since my rig was partially jerry-rigged I can’t really help with what how to cushion— I used some rubberized C&B rings I’d picked up from some web vendor or another as the base of my root-loop.

I’ll see if I can re-find the site and I’ll post it.

Thanks man. I do think I need some cushion as the base of my penis to help with comfort. I am also thinking that if this effect is not due to the cold medication (which I am leaning now towards not), and not from direct contact of the ring at the base of my penis, then my dick may just be tired from PEing. Today my tunica is pretty sore, as this month I have gotten in some great PE days.

I am on a 3 day on, 1 off, then I do what I call a Mega Routine where I just mix of a bunch of techniques including pumping throughout the day. On my “off days” they are really “light days” as I hang about 2 pounds of weight from my penis for much of the day, between 6-9 hours. In actuality this may be too much and I need to go back to my 2 day on 1 off routine and on my off days still make them “light days” but use only 1 pound of weight instead of 2.

For now I am not doing any PE, just jelqing a little when I go to the bathroom and fluffing my penis to see if I can get it fully hard. About 2 hours ago I was in the bathroom basically masturbating and I got a pretty nice erection. However, today I have not gotten any full blown sporadic erections, which I use to get several throughout the day. So, I am going to stop PE until my erections come back and I find a solution the my problem.

No, I am taking Tylenol Sore Throat, Nyquil with Vitamin C, Benadryl, and Zyrtec D….but not all at the same time nor all at once. LOL

Thanks for the info man.

If I take that combination I will have erection problems for sure. Everybody reacts different. I am very sensitive to those type of chemicals.

i am using an extender and my erections are very very week and i think it’s normal after u keep it on for a couple of hours. am i wrong??? I didnt gain already from the extender i used it for 50 hs only at moment but my erections are very bad

akaakaaka,

Capitalization and punctuation, please.

Sounds like a classic case of why you should take PI’s seriously = you’re overdoing things.

I’ve worn the VacX around my waist every day, no rest days unless I couldn’t for other reasons, for a few months without any negative experiences.

Did you only wear the VacX and no other form of PE? How many hours on average per day did you wear the extender?

While you have the extender on of course your penis will go limp, but sometimes throughout the day you should have a sporadic erection if you are doing things right, at least I do. Also, you should wake up to hard erections. Basically from doing PE your erections should be harder and more frequent, that is if you are doing things right. This also verys with the person, meaning your erection strength and the frequency of erections.

I wore it as much as I could for three months or so, nothing else. My idea was to see if it in itself would give gains. It gave flaccid gains, but no remarkable (if any) erect gains.
