Are there many pumpers here?

Well, since I'm singing the blues over in my Bimix thread, I might as well get some thoughts about pumps/VEDs. I was pretty negative on them at 1st, but I have kept practicing several days a week for potential rehab purposes, and I may start using it as part of my injection tech.

I never though I'd say this, but as I have kept using it(rehab only not for sex yet) and become more adept with it, I have realized some possible advantages, especially as my injections have given me only 1 successful penetration out of several tries(plus several rehabs only)

1: Always works and pretty quickly also. Though I have not used it for fun, it is obviously more than capable of getting 'er done. Gives confidence.
2: Getting pumped up has become easier than my hit or miss injections, and the injections are no fun anyway.
3: No worries about Peyronie's
4: ditto for Priapism
5: Since I have already got it, and insurance picked up the tab, lower cost especially over time
6: EDIT/forgot: climacturia is automatically taken care of, no urine escape during sex!

At 1st I could only see the disadvantages. Probably the main thing for me was the whole thing just seems so bizarre and preposterous, but I seem to be getting used to it. The cold member seemed a major turnoff for all concerned, but I have noticed sometimes it is cold right off other times not so much. Odd. However, especially if I use two rings, if you want rigid, this is rigid, and you know it won't be that way after 30 minutes. Unless of course you want it to be say 1 hour later! OK, there is one more advantage!

Things I am wondering about:
1: another bummer is the hinge effect. But has any one used these sleeves? :

Do you like them? Do they really help with the hinge and increase comfort? I am about to order one, but I'm not sure of the size. The middle is for(flacid) 3 3/4 circumference(sp?) up to 4.5", the largest is 4.5 to 5.25. I have measured several times and get 4.5, exactly between the 2 larger sizes. (which surprises me, I don't think of myself as large anywhere but my gut, and maybe height) Also, they have 2 lengths, standard(1") and extended(2"). Any thoughts? I guess I should e-mail them and ask. Of course, these won't be needed unless I finally decide to use them to do the deed rather than just for exercise.

A question for those who have used both: is sensation different? Seems like everything might not feel as good as with an injection and all of that fresh blood getting in there, and goes without saying compared to natural. But are Y'all feeling much difference between the two?

OK, talk among yourselves and report back here! LOL!

With pumping and using the constriction ring that slides off the end of the tube, pleasurable sensations from stimulation weaken after a few minutes but at least I can remove the ring to end the erection immediately. With injection (20 MCG Caverject), pleasurable sensations from stimulation don't weaken at all, but the down side is that the erection stays around for longer than I need, and I get some achiness until the erection subsides.

So for me the pleasurable sensations are sustained better (therefore leading to a more satisfying orgasm) with injections but at the cost of some pain.

I haven't tried the sleeve you mention, but after a few tries pumping and using the constricting ring I figured out how to use it in spite of the hinge effect, by being a little more careful.

BB,

If you want all the definitive info on the foam penile sleeve you should head over to FrankTalk.

There are endless discussions on the merits of the sleeve and sizes and you name it over the years.

I have 3 of them ... a medium, a large and a large extended.

The problem with the large is they allow TOO much girth (so says the missus).

The medium barely fits me, but actually restricts girth while still producing a steel hard erection (for a while).

So come on over .. can probably do some pictures if you need to judge what to get.

I bought a cheap VED online -- it seems the rings are to loose or something won't hold the erection.

How do I tell what ring to use? It seems I would need a very small tight ring to keep it up like it needs to be any suggestions on what ring to use?

Some of the inexpensive VED's use inexpensive rings as well. A good silicone ring has a pretty big range and high elasticity (a measure of how well it returns to its original shape after stretching). A quality ring will feel very tight and take a bit of effort to remove.
