Hello all, I just bought a VED with some constriction rings. I decided that's my next best move towards treating ED. My question to you is, how long have you been using a VED with a constriction ring while having good results? Is it a good long term solution and how are the side effects? How was the quality of your erection?
THANKS

I have been using VED's every day for 30 minutes for the past six months. I have penial implants and lost length due to atrophy; the VED does give me the length back while I use the cock rings. The best advice I can offer is never use the metal cock rings they absolutely cause damage.

Don't know exactly how long. 8 or 9 years?
Took a while to get efficient at pumping. Then there was some time and money spent on finding the ideal ring or as it turned out, rings(two).
Then we changed the sex routine to accommodate using a VED, for example the 20-30 minute time limit before the rings have to come off.
Once we worked all that out, the results were all we could have asked for and more.

Wow thanks a lot brother, did you run into weird side effects like a blueish coloured penis? or a cold penis? Also since the erection starts at the base of the penis, does it aim downwards during a pumped erection?

I've been pumping g for 1+ years, but only for rehabilitation not with rings for sex. However, other methods (e.g. Viagra) are becoming less reliable. So, time to try my VED+Ring.
I'm finding my pumped and constricted erection is very full and starts with a good length that slowly loses about an inch. Despite being very full and girthy, I would characterize it as only about 60-70% hard as compared to a natural erection. Penetration is possible but needs a little "force-feeding" by hand. Has anyone else seen this effect? Solution? (or just ignore it)?

It does get a dark purple color. The first year or so it was colder to the touch. I did a lot of pumping for rehab and practice. Also I was so happy to have a stiff one again I would pump up and put a ring on almost everytime I took a shower. All that pumping has darkened my penis from what it was before I started. It is no longer colder to the touch except for a small area around the meatus.
If by downward you are referring to the hinge effect, I don't really notice one. I like to use a penile foam tube that lessens the discomfort of the rings, etc.

Is the dark coloured penis purple with the band on or is that how it is all the time now? When you say you haven't noticed a hinge effect does that mean your erection aims downward? Also with the sleeves you're talking about, are they soft enough so that when you put the band on them there is significant compression to keep the erection?

I lost 100% ability to have natural erections 27 months ago after my surgery. I "re-hab" every day with a pump for 15-20 minutes to maintain my length and girth. In bed with the wife, we play around with foreplay for about 20 minutes and I get her off. I then go to the bathroom and 5 minutes later am ready with a rock hard cock that I use for up to 30 minutes. It does tend to get a little soft with use, but I have the pump with me in bed and with 1 or 2 pumps, I'm back up to full hardness. Initially, my wife said it did not feel real and was a bit cold. I told her that this is the new reality and she's since gotten use to it! As for the colour, she doesn't really look and the lights are not on fully. Every few weeks I will use an injection to get hard....to be a bit more "natural"...without the ring. But where I live, the injections are about $20 each so the cumulative costs can get up there. The difference with injections is that I can shoot up in the bathroom after I brush my teeth before coming to bed, and in the coming few minutes under the sheets ...it's like old times where she feels like she is getting me hard. ALSO the erection lasts 30-75 minutes...so no urgency to take off a cock ring to regain blood flow. The only drawback to the injections is that I have to pre-plan in order to remove a needle from the freezer to get it ready 2-4 hours before THE EVENT. Sex post-prostatectomy is not fun...UNSPONTANEOUS... but after you get over that stumbling block, the new normal is not that bad. I have heard it said..... "Don't complain about what you can no longer do.....rejoice and enjoy what you CAN do!"
I can still orgasm so ...THANK F-CKING GAWD!!!

I bought a VED 13 years ago, in hopes of helping my ED.
I could pump it full and apply the ring but it would never keep an erection.
Then I started using Viagra which more or less worked for over 10 years.
I put the VED away and took it out maybe once a year. Mainly because it would make my penis a full size larger. 1/2 inch or more longer than my natural erection. More or less a novelty thing...
Last year I got Peyronies Disease (PD) and seemingly overnight I lost over an inch in length and girth, plus I got the dreaded curve. I went from being just above average penis size to just below average size. As I was looking for treatments. I started using the VED twice daily for 15-20 minutes. After about eight months of daily use, I regained most of the size I lost due to PD although the curve remained.
After my sessions with the VED although the penis was filled with blood it never held an erection (even with a constriction ring).

...never held an erection (even with a constriction ring).
The short answer is to experiment with different brands of rings and/or to try 2 rings. What worked for me(2 Osbons) might not work for others.
