Re: Tell me about the ball

My answers:

1. It may have been a bit uncomfortable at first. I'm 4-5 months out. I don't notice it at all.
2. Not noticeable to me at all.
3. Go on YouTube, Clavell has a number of videos. There are probably others.

Re: Clomipramine HCL???

This is an old school antidepressant. I think the other options out there now (the well known SSRIs) are better for all things, whether depression, anxiety or PE.

Re: Paroxetine vs Sertraline

I do paxil on nights before sex is a likelihood, around 20mg. If I do just one night I feel fine after - if I do multiple nights in a row I start to be way tired. My ex wife took it for extreme anxiety/OCD - 40mg daily - she napped for hours daily.

Re: New implant cycling question

It gets softer. After about four months the first 10 are absolutely easy full compression then it gets progresssively harder until about 20-25, then if I wait 5+ minutes I can squeak in a few partials. I cycle about 30 minutes daily.

Re: Insurance Question

My initial consult was Sep 22 of last year and the surgery date was Nov 1. I think I received notification of preauthorization a couple weeks before the scheduled surgery date. Anthem Blue Cross. I didn't have any doubt they'd cover it. Hope that helps.

Re: Does erection angle with a prosthesis look normal?

Pretty much yes, although the diamond hard belly pointer hadn't been seen in my household for a couple decades.

I think most folks at a certain age are more of the 90 degree variety even without significant ED.

Re: Pain at submuscular reservoir site?

I wanted to close this thread out as well after around 100 days postop. I continued to have pain at the reservoir site for a few weeks. It was incredibly effing painful immediately postop and then slowly improved to pain free after a few weeks. I can still easily palpate it on my left side although ...

Re: Infection? - Incision Photo attached

I thought I'd close out a couple threads I started for the benefit of those who come to this decision and forum later. Things have worked out great but it was a bit bumpy getting here. My incision continued to have small pockets of serous/bloody discharge and apparently fibrin (some yellow material)...

Re: Ladies lose their shit with the implant

My wife had no interest whatever in my implant - before, during, or after. She had lost all interest in sex after our years of fumbling around with ED, and was not in the least disappointed to learn that among other things my stroke killed my sexual desire. She was relieved that there was going to ...

Re: Did Insurance Cover the Procedure?

Anthem Blue Cross covered mine without issue. No testing. I did have a long history of oral meds and failed injectable therapy/urologist visits so they certainly had an adequate history of other treatments, don’t know if that was important. Inflation time to something useable under a minute. I’m sti...
