Hello everyone
I have been off hormone therapy for about 9 months now. There have been some slight improvements in my sexual abilities. From nothing, I have begun to experience some semi erections in the morning. Also I have regained an interest in having sex as my libido is returning. However, attempting sexual intercourse is humiliating and has become an experience I tend to shy away from although my wife is very understanding. My question here is has anyone used a vacuum penis pump? Has anyone had any success with achieving an erection? Blue pills no longer work and I am getting desperate to regain some semblance of manhood.
Hello there
I had my surgery 22 months ago , I was given a pump soon afterwards.
I have used it along with the blue pills .The pump helps me to get larger ,but once I remove it , I am no longer able to get a satisfactory erection.
We are all very different in what we can or cannot achieve ,and the various stages we are at .
I am going to have a review soon , so I am hoping something might be out there that could be suitable for myself.
I appreciate it's not a great deal of help ,but the one I use is SomaErect
