Implant vs Injection / natural Sensation

[ragingbull]

Superior in what way? Sensation?

Sensations, assuming injections are working.

Yeah that is my suspicion too. I'm just wondering how different that sensation is between the two.

He didn't state a numerical comparison. His point was that a pharmacologically induced natural erection offers a more physiological and superior pleasure. The throbbing blood and warmth of natural erection is no match to the prosthetic erection even if aided by PDE-5I.

Such a shame. Wish the implant could compete on that level.

Or I wish the injections could be applied once a day and be more spontaneous.

I don’t believe this is the experience of all patients. I tried several formulations of injections and always had a strong achy pain deep in the base of my penis when using them. That does not lead to superior pleasure, in my opinion. That said, I would encourage anyone to try injections prior to moving to an implant because for many, the injections work well.

What has been your personal experience with bimix formulation?

Point well taken.

I understand that medicine is never absolute. Clinical outcomes are based on population averages, and even with rigorous approval processes, there will always be individual variability. Unfortunately, outliers will always exist, that’s the nature of bell curve in statistics.

I'm simultaneously dealing with erectile dysfunction and with anorgasmia.

I'm kind of in the same boat. When I first started injections years ago I had no issues. Now it's gotten progressively harder to have an orgasm from sex, but I still can via masturbation. I don't know if it's age, the injections, psychological, or something else. I'm hoping things will improve with the implant.

For those implanted, particularly inflatable implants, how does the inflated sensation compare to a natural or injection sensation?

I love the swollen, intense pressured feeling I get after taking an injection like my dick is pulling forward and up into the sky.

How different is the implant feeling? Still like that or like having a rolling pin glued to your groin?

Definitely not like a rolling pin. As the post op pain has gradually receded it basically feels like having a normal, natural dick.
I had a fairly short lived experience with Trimix injections. For the brief period that they worked, mechanically they worked really well, mostly.
But I also found them painful at times, and/or I would have a raging boner for hours after I no longer needed one, or I'd lose the erection too soon.
I didn't find anything natural about injecting at all, but I agree that there were occasions when it felt great.
At almost 15 weeks post op my own experience of an inflatable implant so far is exceedingly positive. I'm now enjoying sex again and can get extremely hard on command within 20 or 30 seconds. I now have very little to zero discomfort during PIV sex and it feels very pleasurable. I'm loving the feeling of being able to fuck indefinitely, and can orgasm most of the time. I can barely remember what a natural erection was like before ED, but what I now have I think is superior in so many ways.

For me, after some years of injection use, I couldn’t orgasm at all, and the erections got weaker and weaker, despite using very high doses. Conclusion: my venous leaking was getting worse. Time for an implant.

Now that I have been implanted, I orgasm routinely, with great sensation and pleasure. I’m 66, but sex feels like when I was in my 20’s and 30’s again. It’s not an overstatement

All of the formulations caused aches and pains at the base/ root of my penis. I also found that they made my penis way too sensitive, not in a pleasurable way.

I think that my urologist knew that I had a substantial venous leaking that couldn’t be cured by all the ED cures he sold me: Cialis, shockwave, platelet rich injections, Tri and bi mix etc. He probably should have suggested an implant at some point, but didn’t, probably because he didn’t do that kind of surgery.

Thanks for that…it makes me feel better about my decision to get implanted.
