I’m ten years post LMX implant and have had no issues with penetration. Getting the pump to the right pressure is problematic. Sometimes I have to reset the check valve three or four times to get maximum pressure. I know when my penis has a nice upward curve I have achieved the correct pressure, usu...

I believe your using the pump incorrectly. Because of the MS valve, if you squeeze the bulb incorrectly it will not inflate properly. Holding the block seems to work for getting the proper alignment. I went from 20 squeezes because I was pumping incorrectly to now 10. Hope this helps

I use it everyday, sometimes twice. If you read the reports infrequent use you might get ten years but frequent use ie everyday they suggest two to five years. There has been improvements to the pumps and cylinders since the last report in 2012, so I'm hopeful for five years.

Thanks Pockie for the note and follow-up question; Things for me are very good and my body is adapting to the new equipment. Sensitivity and orgasms have been great since the second week of surgery. The hard tips from the AMS implants have a different sensation, which is just another body adjustment...

Happy to hear its working...good luck and happy pumping

I was back to the gym two weeks after implant. Very mild to start and no abdominal engagement, biking is a no-no so I used the elliptical without issue. Six weeks post op back to a normal gym workout. I'm just starting to bike once again but difficult with the new plumbing in my sac. Good luck

Couple of things to try; make sure your penis is pointed north as this helps straighten out the tubes. The second thing is when you find the pump try giving it a good squeeze while holding the block ...

Congrats on your new equipment and I hope you have a speedy recovery. We are very close in age and I also had a similar life experience turning from a total top to total bottom and now versatile. My experiences are listed under the AMS 700 underhttp://www.franktalk.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t...

I went bionic 30 days ago and things have finally turned the corner for me. The pain is minimal and I am back to work, in the gym and everything is starting to come together nicely. If someone asked me two weeks ago was it worth it I would have said no. Today things are good and it’s worth all the u...

Dext971, I can relate to your story in many ways and good on you for seeking advise on which way to go with your treatment. I am also gay and have been experiencing ED since age 40. I went through the Viagra and Cialis route and as with most it stopped working. Next came the injections with Viagra. ...
