Re: Does anyone here regret getting an implant?
I have some regrets as to my initial choice of surgeon, whom I'm still upset with, and some worries specific to my personal situation. Shit happens and I think I'm okay but I've been through a wringer.
Middle-aged SGM with lifelong ED. AMS 700 CX 21cm + 3.5cm RTEs implanted January 2025 and explanted due to infection February 2025, with salvage. Revision to Coloplast Titan 24cm + 1cm RTE July 2025.

Courage, give us an update, we know you’ve been through a lot with the initial infection. How are you doing with the reimplantation? Thinking good thoughts.
50. Implanted 5/21/2024 at Kaiser SSF. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

I think physically I'll be okay. I'd never had an erection that would stay firm enough for penetration, so it's been a success in that regard--there was a previously undiagnosed venous problem that apparently must've always been there. There is subjectively less sensation, but I'm able to masturbate to orgasm. Looks, I've lost a bit of girth and cosmetically it's a bit different--not mangled or bad but it's been through a lot. The reservoir makes itself known, which I'm going to follow up about. As of fairly recently I can cycle up and more importantly deflate without problem; there's minor discomfort in the scrotum where I squeeze the pump and around the incision.
A lot of my specific worries are internal: a lack of "game" and anxiety about desirability. I am *not going to discuss those* beyond saying I'll get where I want to.
