I inject about 99% of the time. But on occasion I will use a vacuum pump and restriction ring. While this works pretty good as far as keeping my erection, I find I lose penis muscle control with the ring on. I'm not sure if I'm wording this correctly, but what I mean is, with an erection without a ring I can use my penis muscles to stiffen slightly and use it to adjust to variable shifting of my thrusts and/or my wife moving slightly. But with the ring on, I cannot do this. In fact, it makes normal missionary difficult unless I basically pin my wife's legs back to get angle where my penis penetrates directly without any variation. ( I hope this makes sense, as I'm not sure how to articulate the problem ) I was wondering if anyone else that pumps has this issue and is it normal when using a ring tight enough to restrict blood flow?

Actually I think you're referring to what is often referred to as the "hinge effect". It's due to the fact that the only part of your dick that's actually erect is the part out past the ring. It bothers some more than others and is one of the disadvantages of that method of dealing with ED. Sorry, one of those unfortunate fact of life issues. Still better than nothing.

Thanks again, bldoink..... Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to describe. It does bother me, unfortunately. I mean, I could live with it, if that's my only choice. But since injections are working well for me currently, I plan on primarily sticking with that. But was just wondering for those rare occasions where I need to pump.

Some have reported that one of these helps with the hinge effect.

I use one because it lessens the discomfort of a tight ring(s), reduces the "snap" when thr ring is first applied, and helps make removal of
the ring(s) easier.

Thanks for the link, AnotherOldMan. Looks interesting. I may order one to try it out. I'd love to hear if anyone else on the forum has tried it.
