Question for psychogenic implantees about exhausting a less invasive psycho/spiritual approach...

[quote="Kodixx"]Yes, a couple can have a very good sex life even with ED -- assuming they enjoy the same things. But there is a balance between "easier and healthier than an implant", and return of sexual function for PIV. For my wife and I, our sex life was good even during ED. But for us the risk/reward for the implant, with the return of sexual function for PIV, was well worth it. And yes I do wish I had done that years earlier.

I really appreciate this feedback, Kodixx. Thank you!

The implant doesn’t scare me. Those years of pondering and pain BEFORE the implant do.

Oof. Well said.

It completely removes the anxiety of performance, which is half of what kills libido in both partners. The ability to not think about your dick every second of every day and just know when you want to get frisky you can chase her around the house with it and shove it in whenever you catch her... spontaneity is not only peace of mind for us but a huge turn on for them.

This is the crux of what I think about A LOT. Libido is muted with variable cock/soft cock, and it has a way of being all consuming on one's mind.

In my case my body’s erection reaction and retention time have definitely gone down over the years, but I can still get an erection on my own without fail, sometimes a really nice one that can hold up a towel at the “three o’clock” mark!
But when I’m with my wife - anxiety comes crashing in and punches me in the gut.

Nocturne, I mentioned this in my original post. You might find it to be helpful/insightful. My partner of nearly 30 years is amazing and I'm strongly attracted and bonded to her. A lot of my issues started during a period of high stress/anxiety and deepening intimacy in mid-life, which is a lot of what this book describes.
