I really don't think it's helpful to strongly encourage people to skip the less invasive steps prior to going for an implant. At this time there are no alternatives once getting implanted. It's a permanent rather serious invasive from which there is no return.
Peyronie’s from injections is a risk but from my research is actually rare. Many people are satisfied with pills or injections long term. ED sufferers should take the opportunity to discover if those options are for them, if there are no conditions making such trials ill advised.
Allergies to the meds or conflict with other meds (like some BP drugs) can make pills off limits. Pre-existing peyronie's disease excludes injections from being an option. Otherwise I see no downside and little risk to experimenting with the less invasive options before moving on to that very final frontier.
As for VEDs, IMHO, if you aren't getting regular daily full erections you should definitely be using a VED , at least while you determine what other treatment is appropriate for you. That said, a VED may be ill advised with pre-existing peyronie's or some other diseases. That I don't know.
Don't misunderstand me and think I'm dissing implants. I think they're a wonderful thing and I may even get one some day. Currently the ED solutions I use are satisfying for both me and my wife so I see no point in rushing it.
I do realize youthful ED sufferers have other social, psychological or even physical issues, or at least issues that are different by degrees. I empathize with those youthful ED sufferers but I have no answers for them. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone else does either, at least at this point in time. I certainly don't think encouraging them to rush into the final frontier is wise. Maybe that will be the best option for them but it's a big step that shouldn't be rushed. Yes I realize the concept of time generally changes throughout ones life as does ones capacity for patience and deferred gratification.
Take the above with a cup of salt as I'm no medical professional and I'm likely full of poo.
