Advice re therapeutic pumping

Postby cwatt1 » Thu Jul 25, 2013 5:37 pm

Well, I feel better! Today with Levitra I was able to penetrate and maintain the erection for a good 5 minutes or so -- pulled out when we realized neither of us were going to climax any time soon. Low libido today, I guess.

I know that many of you have used a VED therapeutically after RP or before implant surgery, but does daily or at least frequent pumping have any value to improve blood flow in general? I have not had any pelvic surgery, an not diabetic, and am not contemplating an implant.

Your input would be much appreciated.

Yes VED will help with blood flow ... however it's just like working out in the gym. You are not going to see any immediate results ... it takes time and effort. Once or twice a week will not help ...

Have you tried combining your Levitra and VED? You should see a better erection quality ... have your partner help with the pumping. Getting your partner involved can be fun. Have you tried a ring to help maintain your erection? You will be amazed how much this helps ...

I actually don't have a VED at the moment, but am going to talk to my urologist about alternatives. I certainly don't mind daily pumping if it will help with erection quality in the long run! And yes, I would want to continue using Levitra or Viagra along with the pumping.

Thanks for the tips.
