I have looked through a ton of posts and comments so I apologize if I missed an answer.

I curve upward, which is my saving grace for my “average” penis. I’m far below average for my partner which is why my size is a problem. I’d love to increase size of course but there’s no way I’m gaining 2.5 inches to get to her preferred size so long term gains are nice but not an immediate goal.

I’m hoping to pump to increase hardness and swell up before sex. I have memories of erections that were much harder and my penis was able to swell tremendously. I’d like to attempt to replicate this with a pump and hope to not change my curve at all. Is this a bad idea?

Should I adjust cylinder size to accommodate the curve of my shaft? Is there a rule of thumb to how much larger the cylinder should be? Thank you for any suggestions.
