Just got 4th Lupron shot; reflections

Expertly administered, I might add. Now at the midpoint of my 18-month stretch of ADT, feeling optimistic about the coming years. I do wish I could get a PSA test earlier than June 2020, but that's the protocol: first PSA 6 months after completion of ADT.

Even given that I use the JoyLoop to shore up erections, I have to admit that my libido is down somewhat -- maybe to 70% of what it was 6 months ago. Some of that dropoff is due to relationship problems with my partner. She and I are still struggling to not get triggered emotionally so often. Less fighting generally gives you more space for having sex.

That being said, I'm still making sure that I continue efforts to generate at least 2 erections per day. The Loop allows me to accomplish that because of its mechanical efficiency, which doesn't require hormones or much libido. Again, it's an intuitive thing with me to go for more frequent erections during ADT than I would normally do. I'm simply doing everything I can to protect that all-important cavernosa smooth muscle tissue, and provide a bulwark against at least some of the vascular degeneration that could come from downstream RT effects.

I urge every man undergoing ADT to add the JoyLoop to their toolkit. You will most likely be pleased with its efficacy. At least rhat's my hope.

I'm not promoting it to make money -- at least at this point. It's to help with the penile rehab/maintenance that must take place during your stretch of ADT if you want to preserve your sexual functioning. This is serious business.

Thx and blessings to all who have expressed interest, and who may have already tried out this wonderful tool for combatting ED, either treatment-induced or from other factors.

If the silicone ring constricts in any way -- holds blood in -- then it's the functional opposite of the Loop. By not being tight around the base of your shaft, yet pulling your package tighter against your body while putting pressure on the perineum, the JoyLoop accomplishes an apparently unique feat: it helps you create a wonderful erection by allowing/encouraging increased blood flow naturally (in contrast to the incredibly unnatural vacuum pump). Just use a 6-ft phone charger cord to make your first Loop.

I can see a day when people make these for each other -- the ends can be made as customized tassles. Other creative variations will emerge.

The fact you make the JoyLoop yourself makes me just want to offer it freely to every man who might want or need it. I find I don't need specific feedback from anyone on how it works for them -- because it's worked for me so mamy times without failure.

Just make sure to actually try it sometime. I know it's fantastic for me, a gentleman whose libido would be otherwise be bruised, battered and possibly comatose going through the "ADT Experience" without it.

Can you give a hint where one might find out how to make a Joyloop? Searching for it turns up links for a lot of organic foods, and somehow those don't appear to be something that might be effective to get an erection.

Yes! Please go to my post from 8 days ago: Here is the file -- Loop Instructions. Click on the link.

Good luck! You make the Loop yourself.
