Agfa13- My journal, 3-piece, then 1-piece, back to 3-piece.

Yes, last pic is fully pumped, hence the disappointment. Believe it or not, I have never really looked at myself pumped until these pics

I have a virtual appt. with Dr. this Friday, 6/5.
Gathering my questions because I am jealous of you guys on here. Surgery was March 2nd (happy B-day to me), it is now June 2nd, 3 months of a 50/50 relationship with Rosie and her four daughters .
Just started cycling. Pumping getting easier, releasing is always a challenge. Area of balls when I pump is sore (gawd, is that was I have to look forward to when I pump?) Getting my fingers on those valves is always a challenge, as I constantly have to make sure I am not pinching some sort of vein that is found with my balls.
I went to use my VED last night. Could not insert my dick because things were just too painful on the head upon insertion...another drawback:(
Need to add that when I squeeze saline out of dick, it *feels* like I am breaking something inside. I hope that this feeling goes away. When I want to take all the saline out, I have to squeeze and bend dick at base. Does anyone else do this and have this feeling?

Dr. made things look so easy in the office. He actually had me do it, but then when I tried it later on at my place...different story, go figure.

Ag, pain is a natural limiting factor and I know from past discussions we've had that you have a low pain threshold. That being said, I have found that what I thought was my maximum pumps was not. When I first activated I was getting about 3 or 4 pumps and was concerned that I wasn't getting as many as those on FT that were getting 20-30 pumps. My doctor said it takes as many pumps as it takes (I know, right? Double-talk?) What he meant though is that everyone will be different.

What I did discover on my own though, the 3 pumps to MAX after the first couple of months turned into 6-7 pumps and then 8-10 pumps. After I reach maximum full pumps though, I'm not pumped up to maximum. Many more very HARD squeezes that seem like I'm squeezing a marble, eventually results in some stretch pain which is when I know I'm making progress.

Also, I don't notice the most "LIFT" of my dick until the bulb is hard and I keep squeezing it hard, then it starts to rise more.

TLDR: Try to get past the pain and then squeeze the shit out of the bulb after it goes hard.

[Agfa13]

Nope, I am not there yet. When I pump until the bulb is hard, I am already experiencing a good amount of discomfort. Enough so that I don't want to do any more. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have a low tolerance.
I definitely would say that I do not have a vigorous sex life, so I guess this is why I am a bit impatient. Maybe now that I have a job, it will take my mind off of my friends being able to have wild sex, lol.

Patience, patience, patience...

I just tried my VED again, but this time, took out the slit insert so there is no insertion on my part. It worked! So I guess I will be doing the VED and pumping together, moving forward:)

Keep at it my friend. The results are well worth it

[OregonStrong]

Wow great looking dick. I hope mine turns out as well.

[cobylinks]

Thanks
7" long and 5.5-6"girth
Took a few months for the soreness to go away.

[Agfa13]

Nice pic Coby. The pain is what I am experiencing right now.
I know inside is still healing, and the suture area, because pumped was place low, will take longer to heal, just add to pain.
Just finished a session. Pumped until bulb could not be pumped any more. Stuck my dick in VED for 5 min (pumped session was 12 min), and released. Now I need to release, lol.

[cobylinks]

Try pumping up to max then get in a nice hot shower or better yet a hot bath.
After a bit try inflating some more.
I can get another 5 to 10 extra pumps in.
I usually keep it inflated after my shower while I shave.
Uncomfortable? heck ya but helps with length and girth and feels great when I deflate.
I also self inflate at times if I don't give it a pump or two after I deflate.
I believe this closes the inflate mode until I am ready to pump again.
Hope this helps!

[Agfa13]

Thanks! Yes, it actually does help. I plan on doing baths, but baths are not at the top of my list (prefer showers, lol).

[Agfa13]

Got home from work a little while ago. Pumped, then took a warm shower. Made the water a little be hotter, was able to get 3 more hard squeezes in. I wanted the 10 min. to hurry up! Ended up doing 12 minutes:).

[Agfa13]

Had appt. with Dr. this AM. Informed him that I was using VED, but had to take out sleeve to use it because insertion was too painful. Seems that the pulling of my foreskin back was just not cutting it (no pun).
I showed him what I had, and showed him the sleeve. Don't know if its because he str8 or married, but it was like he had no idea what I was talking about until I showed him, lol.
He explained (more like verified), that I was still healing. But what I found interesting was that it takes 12 lbs of force for penetration with sleeve, vs. 3 lbs of force used for vaginal penetration. Never thought to ask him about anal penetration, lol.
