Thought I'd broken it on day three of cycling

[Kiwias]

È successo anche a me con un CX (impiantato da appena un mese). Mi sono poi reso conto che, inavvertitamente, trasferito un po' di pressione alla valvola di svuotamento rendendo meno efficaci le pressioni con la sensazione di un bulbo ammorbidito. Prova a premere nella zona centrale del bulbo e quando senti la pompa morbida sposta la presa dove la senti più dura. Dovresti fare in modo di trovare il punto di maggior resistenza sulla pompa se la senti troppo cedevole cambia posizione delle dita finché non la senti di nuovo dura. Per vincere la esistenza uso indice e nocca del pollice per incrementare l forza. A quel punto mi bastano circa 12 pompate e mi sembra di esplodere. Se ti va prova.

Thanks I'll give that a go. I also think that I pulled down on the pump immediately prior to inflation. Perhaps I somehow opened the release valve.
I'll see what happens over the next few days. It's not really worrying me anymore but I would certainly prefer not have to do 40 + pumps every time

What do you mean it will be different specially in sex?

The vast majority of us have only had one dick our entire lives. Our range of experience as to how a dick feels is limited to that one experience. Once you get an implant, everything is mixed up. How it feels, it’s shape, what you need to do to get off. All the nerves are being rerouted through your system. Overall it’s a big shock to the system. Not just that, but you are actively recovering and changing over several months following implantation. So the feelings are going to change a lot in those first months.

Particularly for sex, that means many changes. You might find positions you loved before don’t work as well. You might find particular types of friction are painful or don’t have the effect they used to. You may experience orgasm changes that range from not being able to have them to shooting blasts of cum five feet in the air (happened to me at first, unfortunately went away!).

Once your body adjusts to the implant, all of that settles down and goes away. I can’t say that you go back to what you used to be like, I think your tastes and desires change, but they settle down and become predictable, and so it becomes like before in that you have a better understanding of how your new dick works and how to get yourself off.

I think the point should be to expect lots of changes and be OK with it. The vast majority of complaints I see on this board are from guys that are finding that the implant isn’t meeting their expectations in some way, it could be based on size or functionality or how it feels.

On the other hand, most of the guys that are really happy about it focus on the positive - they have a hard dick on demand - and are flexible enough to trust in the process. For example, I also had a hard time cumming from sex for a while. Sometimes I would literally fuck for two hours and could not cum. But rather than get down about that, I just kept at it and kept fucking. Now, 18 months in, I am much better at cumming when I want to. The thing to remember is that it is a process, things are going to change, and that you need time to get used to your new dick, and it needs to get used to you.

Thank you, brother. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this. It honestly means a lot to hear it from someone close to my age who’s already been through the process.My surgery is coming up very soon, and I won’t lie I’m nervous, but also excited and hopeful. Reading your experience helps calm my mind and set realistic expectations.If you don’t mind me asking one last question: did you experience any loss in size or girth after the implant?
Thanks again for sharing your journey and being so open. It really helps guys like me who are about to take this step.

Hey Nick, thanks for the appreciation. Yeah, I’m a 74, too.

We’ve all been where you are, and understand the apprehension. That’s why guys stick around here and give advice way after getting implanted… we appreciate that this forum exists and we want to pay it forward. It’s also one of the few places we have to talk about our experience since it is all so hush hush out in the real world.

As for your question on whether I lost size: yes and no. The fundamental answer is that I didn’t; today I am roughly the same size (a bit over 6 inches) that I was in my teens. But immediately following surgery and for several months after I was about 4.75 inches. It took about a year before I realized I was back above 6 inches. Girth is the same, about 6 inches. I’m more than satisfied… I never thought that would be possible. I was happy with 4.75, so growing to 6 was pretty incredible, even though it doesn’t really affect my pleasure at all.

Pretty much everyone gets their size back eventually. My feeling is that if you don’t, it’s because you can’t actually get that length anymore. It’s not the implant that takes away size, at least long term. It’s just atrophy from ED. But you can reverse a lot of that by regularly using a VED prior to surgery (follow your doc’s advice on this and stop when he tells you to stop).

But it takes time. You will almost undoubtedly be shorter when you come out of surgery. But you’ll get it back.

For a guy like me that had ED his whole life, and didn’t have pills until I was in my twenties, I can say this with total certainty: my implanted dick is the best dick I had. It’s sooooo much better than anything before. That’s why I’m grateful every day for this cure, and want to help other guys find that contentment too.

Be well, Leto
