Pain with cycling is minimal.
The pump is still a problem. I can pump till erect and after about 20 squeezes I am erect, but not hard as steel. Than I can't pump anymore, but after a while I can pump again like I can pump forever. It's like I pump, but it doesn't get harder.
In the erect state it's hard and I can hang a towel on it. But it doesn't feel rock hard which I expected. It's also still flexible.
My girlfriend said it feels normal, but she noticed also that when entering her with my penis it felt flexible. But it was not something that bothered her.
Does the LGX get's harder/less flexible over time?
Why is the pump first, after 20 squeezes rock hard, but a few moments later I can pump like forever but the implant doesn't get any harder?
Although I think my surgeon did a great job, I doesn't understand why he gave me a LGX with a pre-op length of 18 cm, with a 20° curve. Before surgery I told him I wanted the CX and he agreed. After surgery I asked why a LGX in stead of a CX but his answer wasn't clear (we don't speak the same language).
Overall I'm glad I did it and still not have had the "what the fuck have I done" thoughts.
Dutchie, I have a LGX too and I was supposed to get a CX, but my Doc and the AMS representative made a game time decision to go with the LGX, maybe because I could have lost some length with the CX.
When I started my cycling at 6 weeks and was cleared for sex, I couldn’t pump it to the max, because of pain in the tips of my glans. I waited to 8 weeks to have sex and I definitely couldn’t inflate it to the max for a steel rod dick. The first time I had sex at 8 weeks, it was awkward and yes, it was bending a bit and penetration wasn’t the greatest, but at least I could have sex again.
Now I’m 2 years and 7 months out from surgery and I pump 20 to 25 wall to wall pumps for enough hardness to have pretty good sex, but I can pump up to 30 for a steel rod. My wife likes it at steel rod hardness.
I haven’t had the problem you’re talking about with the pump bulb squeezing easy with no more hardness.
When I get to 30 pumps, my pump bulb is hard and I can’t pump anymore.
I have a little bit of flexibility at the base at 30 but I hang a towel on it.
Maybe your doc didn’t put enough saline in your reservoir.
Good Luck Dutchie,
