Pump

I’m looking for some feedback on using the pump

I am at the 24 month point and since summer I only use it once a week and have noticed a decrease in length of about 1/2” sound right?

Haven’t had an erection since before the surgery, so I guess that’s it for me. Still taking the 5mg tadafill

Any thoughts?

    Use it religiously to maintain what length you have. There is an excellent publication discussing much more aggressive dosing of PDE-5 inhibitors than the 5mg dose of Cialis (attached for review). I started max dose Viagra daily without the results I was looking for at 24 months, but better response than 5mg Cialis which I was on previously. I did move to needle injections and have a normal erection with the shot. Not my favorite thing to do but it does work

    Good luck to you,

    Thanks appreciated

    At 72, not too disappointed from loss of sex life. More interested in maintaining the length for general use 🤣

    Injections 😳. No thanks

    Again, thanks and have a GREAT future 🚜🐝🚜
