As my diabetic induced ED progressed, I started with Viagra, working my way up from 25 mgs up to 100 mgs. When Viagra stopped being effective, I moved on to Trimix injections working my way up from 25 units to 70 units. When injections became ineffective, I moved onto a medical grade VED with an Osbon constriction band and then moving up from standard tension to high tension and eventually two bands which has been my go to procedure for the past five years.
Thanks for the post. I've been researching VED with a band quite a bit. Can you use it every day? Do you get a cold blue penis? Does that go away when you take the band off? Is there long term damage from use? How does your woman feel about the cold blue penis? Are you using the sleeve? THANKS AGAIN.
Secondchance, I was desperate after I got total ED when I had the Rezume Prostrate procedure, which injects steam into your prostrate to kill off tissue so that the prostrate will shrink. I had an enlarged benign prostrate. So, saying all this I had total ED after the procedure, maybe because the steam might have hit a nerve down there.
Before I got my implant 3 months later, I tried the VED with constriction bands and it didn't work at all for me. The VED would make my dick long and big but when the constriction ring was applied my dick would immediately get cold and purple. It wasn't even hard enough for penetrative sex. It was depressing, so I just kept stretching my dick with the VED every day until I had my implant installed.
I don't know how some men use the VED and constriction bands for sex, maybe because they don't have total ED. I don't remember exactly but I think you can only use the restriction rings for 15 minutes, so you don't damage your penis.
Secondchance, with my implant, I don't always have a full large blood filled glans when I have sex, but it's the best thing since Apple Pie
When I don't have a full engorged glans, I don't have any problem with penetrative sex. I'm glad that I got the implant.
I hope this helped a little,
