Implanted 9/30 with Dr Karaman in Istanbul (pg 4 starts Day 1)

[splitpeach]

Random update... I'm pleasantly surprised these max pump is still growing. I'm sitting at 8.2" at max pump. I'm surprised because I thought that the bulb staying depressed meant that the fluid was all out. I guess not. It still hurts after about 30 mins. I'm not sure why. I guess there is a is stretching..? The cycling continues...

I read you've had sex with it. More than once?

How did it hold up? Was it rigid enough? Solid at the base?

I'm curious as it is length expanding how it holds up against the LGX which I hear some people complain is too unstable.

Wow man you got an amazing size! would you say this is because of the VED you are using? or just normal cycling keeps you growing?

And what is your VED routine nowadays? use it once a day every day?

Hey man! I honestly haven’t used the VED in probably about 5 weeks. The only reason I can point to is laziness. There wasn’t a reason I stopped. I’ve actually been meaning to pick it back up. So, I’m sure it helped (I would think), but I’m not sure it’s vital. Last I measured was probably a month ago and it was right at 8”.

I am gonna get back to it, because while it may not be necessary, I’m sure it doesn’t hurt anything. But yeah, I would pump to the max, then throw on the VED for two 5min sessions, the latter with as much pressure as I could take.

Yeah…I’ve had sex with it probably 7 or 8 times at least. It’s held up well. It’s definitely rigid enough. The last time, I was pumped up to the max. It’s plenty hard, but not stiff, if that makes sense. It’s movable at the base. It’s not like a baseball bat that is anchored in my pelvis. To me, the fact that it moves at the base is a good thing. It makes it more comfortable in various positions. That part, I wouldn’t change at all.

We’ll see if stability changes any more over time. It’s definitely softened up since I first started cycling. Again, to me, that’s a good thing. At first, the max pump felt like concrete was under my skin. Now, it’s still harder than a natural erection was, but not so much so that it is unusable.

I also was quite surprised and pleased to see that I was actually able to get about a 70% natural erection. I clamped it with a cock ring. I wasn’t about to have sex or anything, I just saw something that triggered arousal and played with it a bit out of curiosity. After the cock ring, I’d say it was usable for penetration, probably not the best sex though. But…it may have gotten harder once inside. I don’t know.

That’s fully deflated, of course. I pumped it when I took the cock ring off and of course, there was no room for the blood.

One thing I don’t like is the fact that I have to pump to maybe 70% before it starts to round out. Before then, it’s a flat, strange looking and feeling thing. When I’m married, that won’t matter. However, I ended up having sex before then (obviously) and it takes some doing to pump discreetly.

Very interesting. I heard others complain of the wobble at the base too but good to hear you prefer that and that otherwise it is solid! You're pretty big too so with your length that's a good thing. I am curious as to how it progresses though of it has already softened substantially now.

How many pumps does it take you to get to a decent not weird looking dick?

Thank you for sharing all these details! It's incredible that you can even have a natural erection after an implant. Blows my mind.

Regarding size, how much size do you think you gained since you started cycling (not pre op), until now?

[splitpeach]

Erm... Don't mean to be a downer... But during my consultation with Professor Ralph i was told that the reason there may be some erection after implantation was because the implant was undersized and if it had been sized correctly there would be no erectile activity at all.

I don't know. That's just what I was told.

I asked because in really liked the idea of still being able to have some activity there after implant.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would complain that the base isn't stiff. I suppose their woke could be a lot worse though. Though it has softened, it's by no means pliable! I have started doing the Perito exercise at Mac pump though. Hurts...but could get a little more out of the deal I suppose.

I'd say around 25 probably gives me something I wouldn't mind showing. 35 is a sweet spot for sex and 45 is the max right now.

Thanks man! I was pretty shocked myself. It was a weak erection, but definitely an erection.

Well... My first time cycling, I was at 7". Granted, that was all the pain i could handle and all I could get from the bulb at the time. So, in the 5 or so months, it had gone from 7" to the current 8.2".

I would buy into the idea of being slightly undersized had I not chosen the 10AX. D During my consult with Dr Hakky, he said I'd need at least a 24cm implant. However, Dr Karaman implanted a 22cm * 1cm rte. However, the 10AX supposedly expands 25%. So, assuming the 23cm total would have gotten me my pre-op 7.5" back, the expansion should yield a possible 9.3". Someone feel free to check my math lol. However, since I was likely undersized, that number is surely lower. How much lower...idk. I'm sure Rigicon likely inflates (pun intended) the percentage expansion numbers. Whatever the case, I certainly didn't expect to gain any size. I was hoping to maintain, but expecting to likely lose a bit. I'm thankful.
