She did ask me if the length to my own eyes seems the same as before, and yes, it seems similar, but when I clamp my hand around it, it's not as long as my hand is wide, and I remember having my glans being completely beyond the width of my hand. In other words, I could pull away from my body and hit the glans. Not any more. But the last time I could get an erection where I could masturbate with my hand was 2007. After that, I just had to use a vibrator on a partially erect penis or even a flaccid penis. Now I have no sensation that could be called erotic. Another doctor is not going to reconnect the nerves. They're the size of sewing thread. And my wife doesn't care. Would I do it again if I knew what I would get? Yes, the penis had disappeared inside my body and I was sitting on the toilet making a mess and sometimes shooting under the toilet seat onto the floor or my pants. So now I can stand or sit as I choose. I do not want to do it all over - it was a horrible experience - just to get some length and no feeling. My wife won't use it no matter its size, and I can't feel anything anyway. Anybody telling you that cut nerves of that size can be reconnected is a liar. Standard rule of thumb is that those nerves may reconnect within 6 months. After 6 months, whatever you have is all you'll get. I have gotten a sensation of touch back. Like my finger. But I can rub my finger from now until doomsday and not get an orgasm. And I realize that 50 years ago, with the aggressive cancer I had, I would have been dead.

MichaelM wrote:Lost Sheep, You gave me some new thoughts to ruminate on. I realize that before I had cancer (2013) I had lost all erectile ability (2007). In between those dates, I would guess my flaccid state to be 1 or 2 inches. I never measured my erect state (just never thought of it). Again between those dates, I measured a pretty clear 5.5 in the vacuum device. As you say, it seemed to go down when I took the vacuum off and used a rubber ring to attempt to keep the erection. I never found a ring tight enough (even though I found one so tight I had difficulty (and got a little scared) removing it). I tried having intercourse, but with the tightest ring, the erection disappeared before I was able to enjoy anything. So using your 1 inch loss as a guide, that would mean that I was probably more a natural 4.5 (which would put my glans outside my hand, which supports that assumption of 4.5). After the surgery, I kept using the vacuum pump and it seemed to expand to the 5.5 I was used to, but within a couple hours or more, disappeared, finally before my surgery this May 16, inside my body. Having 3.5 or 3.75 (It's hard to tell because I measure from the top with a carpenter's tape measure and it depends on how much a push it toward my body when I am looking at the tip for a measurement), may, as you have explained it, be entirely appropriate considering how long this has been going on. That would mean I only have to hope the sensation comes back in the next 3 or 4 months.

MichaelM wrote:Lost Sheep, You probably missed my message where I talked about the doctor referring me to the factory rep from AMS who was present during my surgery. He was the one who assessed and confirmed the doctor's choice of the 15cm implant with 4 rtes. He told me that was the largest that would fit, and he even felt comfortable inflating the implant for me since I was having trouble. I thought the inflation would be like squeezing a squirt bulb, but found it very firm. He said small squeezes was just find. Eventually the squeezes at the beginning would get easy and then harder as I reach the maximum. However, I told him how surprised I was to be getting 3 inches, and he said to keep going, that I would get to 3.5 to 3.75 or possibly 4 (considering the implant will stretch 10% and there is at least half an inch of glans past the end of the implant. But you're right, he stated what size I was given, stated he and the doctor agreed, and he is quite aware that every man wants his "best", but that it is improper to put something in that is too large for the organ when stretched. But consoled that 3.5 inches is quite satisfactory for pleasing my wife. So I actually used the doctor, who I saw a week later, to confirm what the rep told me. So I guess I am the way I should be. They were both disappointed at the loss of all erotic sensitivity and told me "not to lose hope until at least 6 months after surgery".

PFracture, Are you the same guy that went to a doctors appointment that took 3 months to get and didn't let him examine you? Pissed off because he wouldn't read another doctors report.

By the way PFracture how is your Index project going? That really took off. Brilliant

Damn dude you are one dumb ass to come on here and attack people.
