I'll Happily Accept A Shorter, Rock-Hard Dick To Replace A Longer, Limp Noodle

[Cigar56]

Guys, I think we have to get past length. Length means nothing if we can't get hard. My surgery date with high-volume practitioner Dr. Jeff Brady, in Orlando, is set for early next year. If I lose an inch, at least initially, then so be it -- although Brady is telling me he believes my loss of length will be minimal. I told him that I don't care about length. After battling ED for decades I'm looking forward to having a permanent solution. The ability to have sex on demand, for as long as we want, is much more important than looking like a porn star.

For all of us, I say this: Onward to bigger (or shorter) things!

Cigar, don't sell yourself short.
Sorry, I couldn't resist that.
Wish you didn't have to wait that long, but I know how that happens.
Good luck and I think You'll be happy.
Wife and me married 61 years today and started the day with nice (short time) sex.
She insisted that I play golf and I shot 71.
Not that great, it was par 62 lol.

Congratulations on your wise outlook and decision. I think you have a winning attitude and will do well. I just hate that you’re having to wait to get it done. Had I known then what I know now, I think I would have insisted surgeon do my procedure as an encore to my initial consultation.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. There may be a small loss. The biggest problem is initially it seems like a large loss but time and healing and cycling and using it tends to move things pretty much to where you started.

Twenty months after I was the main event on the operating table, I’m maybe 1/4 inch shorter than I was with my best TriMix erection. A quarter of an inch. That’s not a measurement, that’s a rounding error. My wife wouldn’t notice 1/4” difference. Hell, nobody would.

I’ve got a much larger softy than ever before. It looks fierce in a swimsuit or gym short or wrangler jean. I pump it up, it points to 2 o’clock or maybe 1:30 like I’m a hormonally challenged teenage buck instead of on social security. A year, 18 months after the surgery you’ll be back within 1/4”, 1/2” of your starting length. You’re right, it doesn’t matter but we are guys therefore it does even though it doesn’t make sense. But your doc is going to put in as much implant as he safely can to get you within a fraction of an inch of where you started. You’ll pump it up and admire yourself in a mirror (and if I’m guessing probably use it frequently) and you won’t look back.

Not sure what your doc installs. I’ve got an LGX. If you have questions/concerns feel free to shoot me a pm. Best of luck & you’ll do great.

To me, even tho i have a pretty small dick, it's not the size loss that's a problem. Indeed, it's small as it is, if i lose a centimeter, it won't be the end of the world.

However, the irreversibility of the operation is something that, at least for me, is a major no-go. I believe that new and better solutions will become available in my lifetime and i'll be extremely pissed off if i had "doomed" myself by rushing an implant before these things come. Just this month someone posted on the General forum a link for a new implant type that is not mechanical-based but acts on the nervous system (which is, in my case, the origin of my ED) - https://comphya.com/ . This thing seems to be exactly what i need to get over ED and i can imagine it easily be interfaced one day with brain-implated chips such as Elon Musk's NeuraLink, to replace the current "wifi remote control". In theory, a solution like this should simulate a perfectly healthy erectile function without any destructive and irreversible measures done to my body.

Obviously, this is extremely case-by-case and there's no "best" solution. The origins of everyone's ED are their own, thus the remedies will differ too. Also, sadly we are all mortal and we don't all have the same theoretical lifespan left. Going for an existing solution, even if it's not "optimal", is completely respectable and understandable.
However, i am getting a bit tired of the "implant preaching" that's going on on this forum lately. What works for one won't work for another and there's no "right" answer to the question "should i get an implant today?".

Fortunately, there are no politicians mandating (yet) that every man, woman, and child in the country be implanted with a three piece penile implant even if they have fully functional genitalia.

However, i am getting a bit tired of the "implant preaching" that's going on on this forum lately. What works for one won't work for another and there's no "right" answer to the question "should i get an implant today?".

I may be one of the worst offenders, and if so, I’ll apologize. Here’s my take:

If other methods work, they should be used. If other methods fail, and an implant has been decided upon, then the guy receiving one ought to hear everyone’s experiences so he knows what to expect and plan for.

I know I’ve been fortunate. My implant experience has been great. Other guys have less spectacular results. Some are downright nightmarish. The guy fixing to get one needs to hear them all. But there’s no reason not to let guys hear success stories in addition to cases where there were problems.

I do believe in self fulfilling prophecy but I don’t sugar coat or glamorize my experience. It really was successful. And for the guy who has reached the court of last resort, knowing that it often is VERY successful can be comforting on day 4 when the genitalia is a swollen purple mess.

I guess it all boils down to this. We aren’t saying “get an implant right now, even if other techniques are effective, or you’re wrong.” What we are saying is “so, you’re getting implanted. Life can be beautiful.”

I will note that a man with a shorter-than average size will be more concerned with size loss than a man with a larger size. That is, if I had a 3 inch erection that did not work any more and was offered a 2-inch erection that worked on demand, I would be less happy with the trade-off than if I had a 5 inch erection and was offered a 3 inch that worked on demand.

I'm just sayin' that everyone's mileage varies.

[Old Guy]

Yes to the OP. When all other things failed it was implant or a limp pee tube the rest of my life.
I did lose about an inch (6" to 5 1/8") but it works! I can get an erection whenever and keep it up until the wife has had enough. That is the bottom line.

[LuisFernandez]

i don't think so. this seems like a defeatist attitude to me. i think one should do whatever possible to have the best possible outcomes:

- use daily VED to keep bloodflow and stretch the penis
- use light traction so that if there is loss the gains from traction will offset them
- choose a high volume surgeon with plenty of testimonials of good slight oversize
- cycle as early as possible, go with a surgeon who will have you activating as early as 3 days after surgery
- cycle, cycle, and cycle daily
- choose a surgeon that slightly oversizes and uses the penoscrotal approach
- take daily cialis
- make sure you've tried injections for several months
