Just an uneducated assumption but I believe they're for 'fine tuning' the size of the implant since the main implants are fixed sizes.

Have any growers lost any length? I was absolutely a grower. Some days I would only be about 2" but erect I was ~6.5". If I was aggressive with a VED I could achieve nearly 7". Nearly a month after surgery I am at 5.5" flaccid and 6.5" erect. :D I chose a surgeon (Dr. Leroy...

Welcome. I 2nd Bldoink. You don't want to skip the next alternative(injections) to oral meds IMHO. Another plus to injections is that it is sort of a troubleshooter in that if the injections fail it almost certainly points to venious leak as being the cause and gives you talking points to insurance ...

Might I add that I onlyconsidered an implant once I tried all the readily available, medically approved treatments. My last gasp, so to speak, was the VED and when I couldn't keep an erection even using 2 bands I knew I was broken so there was no doubt what to do.

But if the prosthetic fails, he is worse off than before. I think Mr. Sheep should have added 'temporarily'. When an implant fails, the median life span is 10-15 years, a procedure called revision is done. At that point the recovery is shorter. As with any surgery, though, there are risks and that ...

We all need guidance once in a while and sometimes it's just easier to talk to a impartial professional. Been there. #2 Either tell your Urologist to b...

Thanks Bros for the assurances. Took him for another ride and it was much better. Practice makes perfect

There is absolutely not much on the radar at all, except maybe the spider bite drug. I think he's being a...

I agree with Flavio.
While taking advice from this board is very valuable it wont match the solid care you'd get from a good professional. There's nothing to be ashamed about and much to gain.

After the sex free 6 week healing I got the okay for Lil' Alfa. A bit of pain in the glans but nothing like the ache of injections. I expect that to ease. One thing was disconcerting though. Each time I thrust I could feel the cylinders. Sort of like when you rub a balloon with a wet finger. Anyone ...
