pumping an implant

[Lost Sheep]

I say the pump is like one of those old bicycle pumps: You keep pumping till you can't pump any more, and then you stop (I know there are some guys in here who have shared that their doctor told them to do this, wait a few minutes. and then pump it up one more time. Whatever works!)

I beg to differ on the bicycle pump comparison. I think what could be read into your statement could lead to catastrophe. My bicycle pump is quite capable of blowing out my bicycle tire. There is no safety valve to limit the maximum pressure. I have heard that there is a safety limiter in penile implants (but have not confirmed that from the manufacturers).

In other words,

"Keep pumping (your bicycle tire) till you can't pump any more" at your own risk.

I was trying to remember how I (hand) pumped up a bike tire some 60 years ago, so maybe I remember wrong. I was just under the impression that a guy cannot over-pump and make his implant explode or anything.
