Re: Littlejohn

You mention pumping and the ring with the 5mg of cialis. Do you think that using the ring maintained the engorged head and increased size overall or just the pumping without using the ring? Since I am using 2.5mg Cialis, I get an erection and can penetrate with a "soft" glans (although it seems too large for the shaft).

I would like to know if you improved the firmness due to the rings, which I haven't tried. I do a 10 minute pumping routine everyday for the peyronies.

I am also taking testosterone shots every ten days, and that provokes the desire. I was experimenting with the 5 mg. of Cialis and was getting erections from that without the pump, but then would go limp during intercourse and never had an orgasm. Next I tried 20 mg. Levitra, and that gave me three rounds of intercourse, but eventual limpness and still no orgasm. I'm planning to order both from a Canadian pharmacy and continue to use the pump for exercise and eventual mastery of pump and rings for intercourse. The pump causes the 6 inch glans, which would normally be 5 1/4. The rings are applied at the end of pumping for me. I've not been successful in pumping after rings and limpness to get a good erection again, but remember I've just been using the Augusta pump (my only mechanical pump ) for 3 weeks.

I have been using Viagra (sometimes 100 mg) and a cock ring or constriction band for the past ten years. I am unable to maintain an erection without constriction. I started pumping about two years ago. Even before pumping, I notice that my girth increased about 1/4 inch after 5 - 10 minutes under constriction, I have also used constriction around my whole unit (behind the balls) and the scrotum also increases in size under constriction. Now, when I pump and use constriction in combination, my girth increases about 1/2 to 3/4 inch and length by about 1/4 inch.

I went to a Uro in November and was prescribed daily 1% T gel and 10 mg of daily Cialis (I use genaric Tadalafil). I can now achieve an erection of 85 - 90% after taking a supplement (Maxidus - mostly Tonkat ali) 2 hours in advance, a 15 minute pumping session, and a tight cock ring. I can increase the erection quality to 90 %+ by adding a 50 mg Viagra. The problem with this procedure is that it is difficult to orgasm because of the constriction, loss of sensitivity, and a break from the cock ring is required after twenty minutes.

Started Trimix injections three weeks ago which makes all the above unnecessary. However, I continue to pump daily to maintain more girth.

Re: Littlejohn "I kept hoping for an orgasm during intercourse, as I find that much more satisfying."

I ditto that but too often she finishes me off with the hand.

I was hesitant in taking the 5mg Cialis because it may be too much for me; but my urologist prescribed it the last time I saw him. I am on other blood thinners (warfarin 7.5) and it is a risky situation for me. However, I think that Peyronies has caused lot of damage to my corpora thus on both sides don't get engorged, and neither the glans. The underside , i think they call it "spongiosm" does get engorged which keeps me afloat.
I think that the head of my penis is larger than the shaft and I believe my wife appears to want more.

I think viagra promotes a better erection then the Cialis, for me. I would like to hear if anyone mixed these two drugs. I can't "shoot up" if my corpora has "fibrosis" because after reading about the success of many on this site, I was thinking of asking my urologist for the prescrip?

Appreciate your input re Cialis and what works for you.

Mikesan,
Even those of us who do not have an implant (yet), know and understand your current mindset. ED Sucks whatever way it showes its ugly head. I've had it almost 8 years now and nobody can fully understand what it's like except those who suffer from it. This is a unique place with a strong pool of unique men that have a common problem. We are sorry that you suffer this way but glad you have found FT.

What I have discovered in my searches are Penis Exercises (stretches, squeezes). They help tremendously with circulation, therefore causing my dick to respond to the meds and injections much better. Before I started PE my dick wouldn't even respond to a butt clinch (kegel). Now, I wake up everyday with a boner the size of Florida; It doesn't last but a few minutes, but now I get one! I've tried everything these other guys have....except an implant, but nothing worked until I took matters in my own hands and started doing manual penis exercises. They make a difference.

Time really flies and one forgets how quickly when YOu are trying to stay afloat with ED. It all seems like a nightmare getting ED because one has to constantly keep up the therapy. I thought I had an appointment today and went in and I was told that i missed it.

It ain't easy to get old but I was sure that the appt was for today. Luckily they rescheduled the appointment for tomorrow. You are a brave soul having this for so long. I don't know if I can keep up this therapy for as long as you have. Some of my friends from college, have had serious problems/cancers and have given up sex. I told them to keep trying with meds, but then they don't want to pay for the meds. I can't give up that easily, since there must be alternatives and I will find them. This site has given me hope. This reminds me that I have to "donate"......

Anyway, I wasn't really sure that pulling and stretching the member would increase the length even though some of the other sites PE & Thundersplace- really say it will work. I can't get into the regimen of that or I just forget to do it. I do the pumping everyday and now am following another pumping protocol and it seems a lot better. I am trying anything at this time hoping that I get some improvement, but it seems futile. The injections may not work for me, because there is no "live" tissue there. Maybe they can scrape out what is there and put an implant there, and voila---a hard on without the pump in the scrotum since I have other working parts by the urethra. I should have been a doctor.

The other nite after she had many orgasms, "I took matters into my own hands" and finished myself off --- because I could have been pumping all nite long. The shudders started near the thighs and went up and AGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

You found what works for you and you succeeded in promoting a good healthy..."the size of Florida".

Men: Good to hear this discussion. I belong to a men's group designed to promote personal growth. Most of the men in the group are younger and otherwise un-affected by e.d. I've brought up my health issues several times in discussions and have gotten good support from the men. Otherwise, isolation would be a bitch!
About the physical side of openness with other men... for the last 30 years I've belonged to a health and fitness program at a the university where I work. Slowly the fear / shame / about being nude around others has diminished. (However that does not extend to visiting the urologists office. For some reason I get wound up tighter than a tick prior to the appointments.)
