Part LXXXVI

I keep running tests. In the process I keep learning interesting things about my own body and my ability to get and sustain an erection. For me, this is all in the name of science, and I am not just “messing around” by having fun with my own body. Plus I have a “noble cause” in doing this because I am interested in researching recovery methods after surgical removal of the prostate.

But I do not want for my readers to start thinking that my research applies only to those who have had prostate surgery. Further, as all of you also know now, I have lived as a single male my entire adult life and having a partner available for sex has not been a part of that. Still, I keep thinking about how what I am researching might apply to those with partners versus not, and for those who have ED for whatever reason versus not.

One thing that I learned over the past week is that I emerged from prostate surgery not in bad shape and in better shape than a lot of other guys who have had the surgery. A big part of this has been that I now realize that all I need is a bit of a booster in order to get an erection going. I had been doing this using my hand, but post-surgery I have not been able to get quite the erection quality that I had gotten via this method prior to surgery. I could still have a decent orgasm, but this was not nearly as enjoyable as an orgasm is when a guy is really hard. Hence the idea of trying a penis pump to see if I could get back to getting something closer to what I enjoyed in the pre-surgery days.

I also realize that there are a lot of guys out there who do have a regular sexual partner, and for straight males the idea of being able to get and sustain an erection sufficient to make her happy is an important part of the equation. And I also realize that guys have ED from mild to severe for a host of different reasons not just prostate surgery.

Gay relationships form a separate category and I will have more to say about that as well but later.

I also realize that many of my readers here are turned on just by wearing swim briefs, compression gear and other snug-fitting garments and in that regard I am one of you, so I am constantly thinking about how my current experiments relate to that as well.


I have been attempting to get in a new penis pump experiment conducted every night. I read that from a medical perspective the use of the pump on a daily basis is very helpful. This is getting me back to my masturbation schedule I employed when I was in my 20s and 30s. But maybe that is OK. What I am doing is all for science.

Last night, I was still somewhat exhausted from my efforts the previous nights. I was looking for an experiment to try that might not end in an orgasm. Two things were on my mind. First, the silicone rubber ends on the pump have sizes small, medium and large, the small size providing some constriction like a penis ring, but the large size big enough to be even larger than an engorged penis. What I decided to do is use the large size with the biggest hole, but then use it in conjunction with a penis ring (see photo). Interestingly, the silicone sleeve with the large hole is first placed over the end of the pump. Then the penis ring is stretched and placed over the sleeve with the hole in it.

When I get ready to remove the pump, I first slip the penis ring off the sleeve and on to the base of my penis. Then I pull the pump off sleeve still attached. Now I have an engorged penis with a silicone penis ring on the base.

Penis rings too come in various sizes, small, medium and large (see photo). For the experiment last night I wanted to first try the large ring, which provides minimal restriction of reverse blood flow. One thing I have learned about my own body in the experiments is that once I pump myself up, I can go for a substantial length of time without losing the erection without using any penis ring. Light stroking on the underside helps if I feel that my erection is starting to subside. But after being kick-started with the pump, all of this seems normal relative to where I was before the prostate came out.

I quickly found out that the pump still works fine even if the hole in the sleeve is bigger than my penis as it is being pumped. If the sleeve is lubed and the pubes are shaved, the seal still holds no problem. And I do not really need a silicone penis ring to constrict blood flow and sustain my erection once I am out of the pump.

So I have this pumped erection sufficient to make a female sex partner happy (assuming I had one) and if we wanted to have sex. Indeed, if she “helped” pump me up knowing what was being created and she was observing up close would soon fit inside of her that would add to the eroticism of the moment. These thoughts are surely interesting.

But, back to my reality. Post-pumping, I want to compare the sensations I get from stroking the underside of my penis gently with the sensations I have been getting simply using my hand to masturbate without pumping myself up first. I know I can have an orgasm without having a really hard erection and post-surgery I have enjoyed myself that way many times. Still, the nerves, particularly the ones lining the underside of the penis, get more touch sensitive and more fun the bigger and harder my penis is, (But you all knew that already, right?)

So I have the loose-fitting silicone ring slipped on to the base of my penis, and I have slipped the pump off, entirely.

The pumped penis with the loose-fitting penis ring gets stroked on the underside like my masturbation technique in days of old. But those all-important nerve endings on the underside of my penis are now feeling really good, far better than without first using the pump assistant. Soon I am saying aloud the phrase I like it! I like it! This is fun! Really fun! This is masturbation at its very best! And my penis seems to be getting harder still and certainly not getting softer.

What next? I haven’t had an orgasm. Not yet! Not yet! But I am now feeling as horny as all get out. Why I dig out a couple different pair of skimpy Seobean swim briefs and try them on, something I have long enjoyed doing. Will my engorged penis even fit? Finding out the answer is part of the fun. But not to worry, the Seobean briefs do fit. I put my penis up. Now I am really enjoying myself. Somehow that swim brief rubbing against the underside of my penis just “does” it for me, but this is crazy, goofy fun given the condition my penis is in. I slip out of the yellow brief and into the even skimpier and still tighter gray-and-black one. Touch the underside of my penis once again, and I land somewhere out in “orgasm heaven”. A terrific orgasm. A not-to-be missed sequence of events from beginning to end. Who even needs a sex partner when I can have this much fun all by myself? I’m delighted with all that I have learned and experienced.

I have done a lot of reading, and one of the important things I now know is that a lot of guys with ED have real problems sustaining an erection after pumping and that correctly sizing the silicone rubber ring is important to provide the exact amount of constriction to keep blood from exiting the hard-on but not too snug to cause injury.

I rather like the feel of the silicone ring on my penis even when the fit is loose. My next test will involve using a ring one size smaller and see how that feels on my pumped and engorged penis.

This is extraordinarily enjoyable and fun in a way that I thought was totally lost to me following surgery six years ago.

I like it! I like it!
