If oral medications or injections give you a firm, dependable erection every time, it makes sense to keep using them.

If they’re only effective about half the time (or any other reliability threshold), then you’re back at a decision point — you have to decide whether that level of reliability is good enough for your needs and expectations. So yes, there are many men here who have decided to proceed with an implant even though pills and injections sometimes still worked, this is a common thing. I am one of them as well.

I'm close to this decision too..the pills work sometimes but it's tiring now and psychologically makes me feel weak...I hope with the implant everything will change.

Wow...I woke up this morning thinking of asking this very same question.

For me th pills still work...sort of. Most times, It gets me hard enough to achieve penetration and commence sex. But from there it's sometimes good all the way through for both me and her. Sometimes I sense it might not last much longer so I finish before her leaving her unfulfilled. And usually it's only ok to remain one position. If we switch, it will get less hard even if we achieve the crossover, but half the time the switch kills my guy.

So even though the pills work to get started, when there we typically only stay same position

Plus the duration of the pills effect has declined. Cialis used to be almost 2 full days for me, now only about 24 hours, with anything beyond 12 hours notably weaker. And Viagra from 8 hours down to 5.

Sometimes I still get early morning wood or nighttime while in bed, but it's not like I can just wake her up and expect go-time.

So yes I hear you. I can still achieve erection here and there with my own equipment, so it's a big thing for me to get over to kill that completely. You asking yourself: "am I being too quick to pull the implant trigger."

But I doubt mine will get any better. My wife says I dont have to do it, she is fine with the pills despite their limited performance and reliability. But just this valentines days we got it on with the help of a blue pill, we switched positions midway, and then I sensed I didnt have much longer so I finished......and then she kept making out for another half hour just hoping I could get it back into her at some point. She was as wet as I have ever felt her. But in the end we gave up, I tried everything. She was good about it, but deep down I know thats not the ending she wanted.

So despite the still somewhat natural ability, I really think for me (and very much her), the ability to never end too soon, explore different positions as much as we want, the relaxed confidence that I dont need to worry about how much longer before it gives out, the ability to act on the spot spontaneously whenever our mood strikes, instead of not having to then take a hour timeout for a pill to kick in at which time the mood is gone and we are more tired by then and feel we have to 'get it on; because I popped a pill..........

Well thats a pretty convincing paragraph. Plus, it's not like these pills are free. Over the course of ten years, it adds up, not as much as a surgery, but it does represent a calculated discount to it.

Cheers Mate, let us know which way you go. And I will do the same, but I am heavily leaning towards the Bionic side :)

Macoza friend, I think your problem, like mine, is that you don't have an erection when you want it and you're waiting for the pill to work and you're tired of it..but because sometimes the pills work..all this makes you think about the implant or not..I'm almost at this crossroads too..the decision requires a little thought.

I did not. I waited until those options failed enough that I reached a point I knew I needed and wanted an implant because I couldn't deal with ED failures any longer. It became a choice I knew I had to make because I had no other choice.

I think you should wait to get an implant until you get to the point that you are done questioning whether you need an implant or not.

My implant surgery is in two days and i am still able to use injections. But the injections are unreliable, the erection is often painful and its annoying having to plan my sexlife around the injections. I also am unable at times to get the injections when im travelling.

Ive missed out on so many sexuak encounters because i wasnt sure whether my penis would work.
