Keeping Out the cold !!

Last time I wrote I mentioned the cold and how it was causing some discomfort especially while I was walking to work.  Although not all of it comes from the cold - some comes from me still inflating to the max and some from the cold.  Well with a bit of experimenting I hope I have found a solution and, while it has not exactly been a scientific survey I have come up with something that works for me.

Firstly I bought a couple of pairs of base level shorts, the type you wear under your outer clothes to act as an  insulation layer when playing sport.  Although they did work to a certain degree and did and do keep me warm my implant and in turn my penis were still becoming cold and quite stiff and in turn painful.  I also tried a thicker thermal layer, again it worked ok but I was still having a similar level of discomfort.

The answer, in conjunction with the additional layer was re-usable Heated Pads.  They are normally placed inside gloves to keep your hands warm. Who would have thought they would work for this as well. 

 








When activated they turn into a warm soft gel pad that I put inside a sports sock, place inside my underwear and I’m set to go.  The ones I purchased come in pairs (as you would expect) and should last for approx 100 activations, as I only need to use one at a time they should keep me comfortable until it gets a bit warmer.  Provided I put the gel pad in as soon as it’s activated it moulds to my shape and once I am dressed no one would ever know.

Let’s just pray I never get hit by a bus!!

One last thing for this entry, my implant does seem to be settling in a bit more now so next time I will post a couple of updated flaccid and inflated photos.  Hopefully you too can see the difference.

Cheers for now

Cold Weather - Ouch!!!

Today is the first cold day of the year and the reaction of my penis to walking in cold weather has been to say the least a bit sore/uncomfortable. It's not agony by any means but I do need to find a way of keeping that area warmer.  Walking 3 miles or so to work this morning was not a pleasant experience.

I think thermals would help and somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember warming pads for gloves, perhaps they may help as well if I can find them.

Watch this space because I can feel a bit of experimenting coming on.

Cheers for now

Week 15

I have still not managed to figure out video!!!  I will keep trying though and as soon as I can I will post an inflation and deflation video.  I have however finally managed to get a couple of pictures that show the placement of the pump.  Hope they help to make things more clear especially for anyone thinking about having a similar procedure wondering about where it went.

Reading back over the blog and looking at the pictures I cannot believe how far I have come in 15 short weeks.   Physically the difference is obvious (well it is to me and hopefully to you too). 
 



Day 7 Approx



Week 15 ish

I also feel so much better mentally.  Taking Viagra or one of the other pills I had been prescribed, putting a pellet inside my penis or injecting my shaft were not ideal for me or for sex (brilliant solution for others though) and had become a chore - to the point of my not being too bothered whether I ever had another erection.

Despite being told by a few people close to me that I had changed I did not realise quite what a difference there had been in my personality.  Now that has all changed again and compared to how I had become the difference is immense.  I fact I am more or less back to my grumpy old self again <grin>.  I do know that just being able to get an erection is not the be all and end all and while my erection is not quite as it was it has gone a long way to making me feel so much better about myself in general.  I do still have annual PSA checks for the Prostate Cancer.  That can be a bit worrying, but fingers crossed my PSA will stay undetectable and it’s onwards and upwards (so to speak).

I am still inflating to the max daily and can feel differences, admittedly they are very now very small but they are differences in both girth and length. The blood-flow to the head and outer shaft of my penis has returned, increasing my aroused size and making any slight floppy head a thing of the past. 

One other small bonus - I went swimming yesterday and in the showers mine looked pretty much like everyone else’s (apart from mine not reacting to the cold water of the pool).  I just knew there had to be more than one benefit to this implant!!!!

Cheers for now

Week 14 ish

What did I say about “getting techy”?  As you might have guessed I haven’t figured it out yet, hence no video but I will keep trying and as soon as I have mastered it you’ll be the first to see.

I am still pumping to the max every day to stretch the tissue and in turn allow the implant to inflate fully and it does seem to be working.  Erect there is a slight difference in length and girth but the main difference is in the flaccid size.  I am also surprised at the difference between the implanted flaccid and erect size generally.  I was always more of shower than a grower and even now nothing has changed.

Flaccid approx Week 8

Flaccid today Week 14

APOLOGIES FOR LARGE SIZE OF SOME OF THE PICTURES.  I AM SURE YOU REALLY DON'T WANT MY PENIS FILLING YOUR SCREEN.

 

I WILL GET THEM ALL TO A DECENT SIZE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

There does not seem to be any further movement of the implant, perhaps I was concerned for no reason.  However where I am inflating and deflating fully everyday there is some soreness.  My scrotum is tender, especially where it meets the shaft which is also tender as is the head although none of it is too bad and it disappears within an hour or so.

Somebody has told me about Bio-Oil (apparently ladies have known about it for years) anyway a few drops smoothed into the skin of my shaft and scrotum makes all the difference and it is definitely making inflating fully and stretching much easier.
