Hopefully OldMan would read this.
This is totally dependent on your feelings and experience. In my case, It takes me several minutes to get to the point where my deformation is "treated". Meaning, in my case, I have a bottleneck right below the glans, so I need to use
VED to fill that in so that it catches up with the rest. That means that you need to pump to the limit, because that part of the penis is the LAST, in my case, that gets blood in. So in order to get all my shaft perfectly parallel and against the cylinder walls, I need to pump several minutes. Once all the penis is perfectly straight and against the walls, then I release all of it, and start back again. I do this for about 15 mins.
THe problem is that to get to that point, sometimes take me 5 mins, some times even 10 mins, so during that time evidently I am not releasing pressure. I just go extremely slow. Like below:
1. I pump the first time
2. I wait 10 seconds
3. Repeat.
I pump and wait all the times needed to get to the point where I want to see my deformation corrected inside the
VED cylinder. In my case, that is approx. 100% lenght size of my penis. Others do not need to extend that much, but in my case, for my deformation, if I dont do it, it never stretches the area that needs ot be treated. So as you see, it depends on where and what deformation you have.
My pump is the LA pump, and it has a little device that tells you how much pressure you have all the time. I always have less than 3 in. Hg vac.
It is incorrect to think that every time you pump you put more pressure. Sometimes, I pump 10 times, and the pressure is constant. It might be because I wait 10 seconds between pumps. I am not sure but don't think that because you are pumping, lets say 50 times, thats more pressure than 10 times. It normally is, but it depends how well concealed your device is. That's why is always good to have a
VED device that tells you how much pressure you have. WIth mine, I know I should not go beyond 4, so I never do it, and I dont need to.
I hope I explained myself clear enough.
Now, I would *always* do as OldMan tells you. He is the expert. I am not. I tried to follow his program but neither the SomaErect nor the Encore
VED devices helped me. The first one has 3 cylinders. And they have several issues for me. They are not parallel so your penis is going to be exercised with the first part wider than the glans. Secondly, the sizes do not fit my needs. And the second one is too big, and for Peyronies we need different cylinders to treat our disease. So, I ended up getting the LA lumps. Then, OldMan never recommen going beyong 50% the size of your penis lengthy-wise and never hold more than 10 seconds. This is *impossible* for me, because this *would never treat* my condition. It takes me several minutes just to get the penis inflated enough to treat the part of my penis that needs to be treated, so those "10 seconds hold" rule does not apply to me. However, one I get to the point I need, then I hold 10 seconds. never more than that, as OldMan says. It is just that the time to takes me to get to that point is minutes, not seconds.
But again, that's just me. OldMan is the expert.
