24 yo - let the story begin

[mr.skin]

Hello to all, I am a 24 year old sufferer.

I started balding with the age of 16, and still being a teenager I started taking propecia (finasteride) against mpb with the age of 18. I went to four different doctors, who all told me the sides I'd experience (if any at all) would subside after ceasing the drug. Well, they did not, and for those almost 6 years I am not able to have a rigid erection.

PGE1 injection (alprostadil) does not give me a proper erection(no rigidity, some tumescence), PDE5-I barely have any effect and a constricction ring helps a bit, but still loses it's rigidity without constant stimulation. I started using a VED 1,5 years ago at least every other day to avoid further shrinking (I went from 17.5cm length and 15cm girth down to at best 15.5 and 14.5).

All directions seem to lead to an implant. At first, I was completely grossed out by the idea of sticking an external device into my dick. Well, I came to the conclusion that I have no other choice. In germany the insurance won't cover an implant, so my family is gonna take a loan and I will go to dr.eid. I plan on going there beginning of July, as my university continues with some kind of fresher's week the end of august/beginning of September.

I've read a lot of stories in here, and while I still hope everything will workout exactly as planned there are some concerns:

Of course, infection, loss of length (I actually hope to gain some size, to be at least 16cm, as I did a stretching test with transurethral alprostadil before, which gave me between 16 and 16.5cm.) angle of erection, and mainly being comletely uncomfortable with the cylinders and the pump in the scrotum (I have small testes due to Testosterone replacement as therapy which will make the pump very visible.)

So, now the other thing I am very concerned about - I really developed some kind of psychological anxiety to get intimate with a girl, even to get in such a situation. Due to two reasons - mainly bc I am still a virgin, the last time and actually the first time I got intimate with a girl was last december, but I could not rely on my dick. Meaning I do not have much experience how to get laid e.g. how to physical, even getting to the kiss is very hard for me. (did not happen very often). And of course I lack experience in the bedroom, which actually made me think about going to a hooker after getting the implant, to at least know how the handling with the implant will be, and so on.


I will continue updating my future way in here.

Best.

Hey man don't be afraid to go out and talk to girls. I have a super understanding girlfriend who I've been with since November

Are you from germany?

[ED2013]

I’m sure you’ll be happy going with Dr Eid. Don’t worry. After you’re fully healed you’ll have plenty of time to get experience. I tried out my implant on hookers as well. It’s a good way to practice and become more comfortable.

"I started balding with the age of 16"

Sounds like me but I am 77. Do it soon.

I ve been to an expert in germany today, who does 30-40 implants a year.

It was a good conversation, but the only thing that shocked me, was his measurement and prediction of the length of my implanted penis. He took a flaccid measurement of bone pressed erect length of 5.9 inches and said, that's what I will get. Maybe 6.1 with good cycling after a year.

If I measure my penis in the flaccid state and pull it, I get a bone pressed length of close to 6.7 inches but easily more than 6.3 inches (16cm). Am I doing it wrong ? Is there something else to consider ?

Unfortunately I could not see him measuring my penis, as the medical couch (correct expression ? dont know how to describe it) was slightly going down on the headside.

Really put s me down. I mean, even with getting 16cm I will lose a lot since I have not been doing anything against my ed for the first 4 years, the last 2 years I've been using the VED to prevent further shrinkage.

My penile length and girth were actually one of the few things which genetically placed me above average...

[ED2013]

Hey don’t let it get you down. Call him or email him. Make another appointment with him and also get a second opinion from another doc. You’re the patient and deserve answers.

[mr.skin]

I am scared.

Scared I wont like my new penis due to almost no glans enlargement I have.

Scared to tell girls I have an implant, so I am even scared of the thought of getting closer / more initmate with a girl after the implant

Scared the implant will hinder me in daily activities like playing soccer, fooling around (you old guys cannot relate, the most explosive movement you make is getting up in the morning...)

Scared even if I sleep with a girl she will tell her friends ( I usually get to meet girls about my social cirlce). Very likely the last girl I was intimate with, where I obv. could not get it up and did not want to meet up after being intimate was very angry and felt like she did something wrong, so no doubt she would have told someone.

Hey man,

I’m sorry about your troubles, God knows I know what you’re feeling.

You are young, yes but all things being considered, if the first and second-line therapies aren’t working well and/or reliably, tell yourself ‘what other choice do I have?!’. This simple logic should do at least a little to make you feel better about the prospect of an implant.

All the fears that you’ve brought up are fears I have too, should I ever choose to get an implant. But let’s break it down. Most of the men in here who report going to a good surgeon say that the size loss is minimal. And with the numbers you’ve quoted, I wouldn’t worry too much about size loss. Worry more about functionality and restoring that.

With the fear of intimacy, I understand that also, of course. But if you don’t want it to be detected, pump up beforehand in the bathroom and just focus on pleasing her and enjoying yourself. You could say you don’t like your balls being touched or simply say, I had a surgical procedure on my testicles but everything is absolutely fine now, don’t worry! Then proceed to rock her world. Having a pump inside your balls, I don’t know many 20 yos that will know what the hell that is and plus, even women at this age are more caring and understanding than you’d think.

Ultimately, an implant, if done correctly will assure you solid erections for hopefully 10-15 years at which point you’ll have to book in for your replacement.

Going forward into your 30s, honestly man, women are mostly very understanding and caring. As long as you can fuck them, they won’t mind at all!!! see multiple posts by people who have told their gfs or wives. See DustyKnox’s posts for a young man’s perspective.

A good woman will love you, for you. End of. And, I can bet she will fucking love your implant and the things it enables you to do.

Fear is natural at this stage, dude. But if it’s not really working at all even with pills and injections, what’s the alternative?
