GO IN ERECT? (2023)

[optuma]

A urologist told me get erect first then go in VED

Is this correct? Yes? No?

Please tell me why?

Also he said if you're not circumcised pull down foreskin before going in VED

What was is basis for that suggestion? In all the accounts i have read, i never recall seeing that mentioned. A word of caution on traction: too much vacuum can cause internal damage to your penis and give you ED. There's a paper on pubmed about. I would start out flaccid, follow a protocol recommended by your doctor or what you read on this board and be safe by using a medical grade vacuum pump.

when your penis is erect, the albuginea is less thick because it is expanded, therefore it is more prone to breaks/damage.
in my opinion do not go in erect. maybe a little engorged, have some blood there.
but going in erect seems like a suicide to me... your penis is already working its muscles so why put extra pressure. it seems like the easiest way to damage yourself.
im no doctor tho

I disagree. First of all, it is not necessary to be erect first, this makes no sense. Once you are in the VED and start the suction, your penis is going to fill with blood and become erect anyway. This does not put any more or less pressure on the Tunica Albuginea.

I have found it easier to go in with a "semi", as starting from flaccid requires more pumping and pulls in more scrotal skin/puts more pressure on the whole pubic pad, pain, ow, etc.  I just asked my doc, who confirms it's a good approach.  The goal (as I'm told) is to have the vacuum hold just a little extra draw on the erection it has completed or created, and then maintain that for the prescribed period.

I would say your Uro is wrong on both accounts, 1 some of us use a VED cos we can't get a erection, and to roll your foreskin back no point it feels nice tho feel your foreskin slid back when pumping
