Hard Enough

[thegatter]

Hi guys. Ok, I recently posted that I had trouble pumping. Thanks to the many answers, I did manage to pump it up using the two handed method. Here's my question. I THINK it's pumped to the max, but I don't have that "blue steel" that others brag about here....I THINK it's hard enough to use for sex (I am going thru divorce and there is NO sex in my life other than my right hand) but it just doesn't seem to be as hard, sticking straight out as I thought it would be...as I hoped it would be. Yet, I just cannot pump that ball anymore.
Is this all there is? or does the pump get easier? Should I go see my doctor??
Thanks for your advice.

thegatter,
From your description it doesn't sound like you are pumping enough ... yeah I know it gets tough, but even if you get a quarter squeeze at a time ... do that. You will feel it when you are max pumped because the tips should become tender from the pressure.

Yes the pumping gets easier over time ... once the cylinders start stretching the pumping gets easier. Try sitting in a hot bath for a while, then try pumping. I don't think anything is wrong that would warrent a URO visit ...

Well at 8 pumps now, mine is plenty hard for sex. Its just not a s long as I want it. At 12 pumps, it is starting to stretch and is really sore. It is sore at the tip and at the base along the incision. I could not have sex today at 12 pumps.

FYI, to get to where I am today at 8 pumps, took me 18 pumps last week. So I feel I'm making progress.

I'm 3 months post-op and still finding it difficult to get pumped up to absolute full capacity...the bulb fluctuates from easy to pump to very hard to pump. I get plenty erect enough for sex with my wife so we are both pretty happy with the results so far. My uro/surgeon tells me to just keep on doing what I'm doing have patience,patience,patience. The bulb does get easier to use each time so I guess it won't be long before I can get Willie out to full size and smiling!
