After a pretty shitty first try a few nights ago, last night my wife and I made love for the first time since my implantation, and for the first time in years without the worry of "will it work, will it last?" I did have to stop after about 15 minutes due to soreness, but it was wonderful to reconnect. Still a weird combination of sensitivity and numbness.
It was an incredibly emotional experience -- years of frustration, inadequacy, worry, surgery, pills, injections -- all came out. After the years of tears my wife and I have shed over over the loss of our son, I was overcome by tears of joy. Smiling, laughing and crying.
And I know it's only going to get better.
Thanks to all of you who helped me with the decision and gave me encouragement when I was questioning what I had done.
Life is good. Very good.

Re: Finally!
Good for you two!! Was disheartened at reading your first try experience but hoped things would improve. So much stress and strain over impotence as it is such a critical part of an intimate relationship and a key part of the human experience -- I honestly think ED is one of the worst things that can happen to a guy as it robs us of so much of a key part of relationships and life.
So happy for you!!

I had a similar experience shortly after activation...ok...had to try it out...great to know that penetration was now possible, but still too sore to really enjoy anything. In a few weeks, any soreness/slight numbness will disappear and at that point, you'll think your new bionic unit is the greatest thing since sliced bread!! I'm at 9 months & it feels completely natural...in fact, I like it better than my original issued equipment...

Thanks, best wishes to you and your wife, too, my same day brother!
Actually, I had a hard time falling asleep smiling/laughing about how much better things are going to be in our lives.
