Six weeks experiences?

[CowtownSlim]

I am two weeks out from AMS 700. Knock wood, recovery has been smooth. I had no postop pain, which was insane given the amount of swelling and bruising evident. Swelling peaked at about three days and I was able to attend a concert with no problem sitting for two hours at 10 days. I am anticipating an appointment for training on cycling at four weeks and then theoretically cleared for sex at six weeks. That is around the time of our anniversary and I had hoped to plan a nice evening out at a hotel to celebrate. However, I gather that things are awkward or even painful at that point, so perhaps it would be better to postpone. Anyone who has been fortunate to have a fairly smooth recovery early on and had a trouble free experience in six weeks, or might it be best to wait to shell out for a staycation? 65 yo BTW.

CowtownSlim, Welcome to the Bionic Brotherhood! I’m glad your journey is going smooth and you haven’t had a lot of pain.
Dude, if you’re doing good when you start cycling your implant, go for it!
Just see how things are going at that point.

I was given device training, or Bionic Weapon training at 6 weeks and I was cleared for sex also. I was really looking forward to sex with my wife but I put it off another two weeks until week 8.
At week 8 PIV sex with my wife was awkward and painful because I had pumped up 30 minutes ahead of time. I emailed my doc and he just told me to take baby steps. It kept getting better every week.

Like I said above, go for it, if you’re feeling good. I think you’ll know.

Welcome again,

Hey man. I'd agree as well to go for it. However, I myself had a pretty easy recovery & uneventful healing & was cleared to cycle earlier. For my urologist, that was at week 5, being a week before they usually clear you to cycle. First sex or 2 was mid honestly but it definitely got better & better. I'd still go for it regardless but would just keep expectations to a minimum. Besides, our expectations we place on things are usually the root of our suffering anyway. Good luck & have fun

Thursday was 6 weeks for me. My pain was very minimal in the beginning. I cycle pretty aggressively. But yea we have been having sex for a couple weeks now pain free, and it keeps getting better. Dr cleared me at 3 weeks, but even before that as soon as a week after surgery she was giving me blowjobs partially inflated as I wasn't given ok to pump at that time. I still have really good natural engorgement so that helped as well. I will say first time was a bit awkward as well but not because it didn't work but because I was in my own head. I think you will be fine but like goody said keep expectations low, especially as you get used to everything. I love my implant and to have spontaneity back is the best part

Glad to hear you are doing so well. I was way ahead at six weeks. I had sex at day 10. I was at 50% the way they sent me home. It wasnt great but I had a an itch to scatch. Cycling at 3 weeks. What worked for me was to only inflate to about 80%. I could have PIV sex and it didnt hurt. I could also go for a much longer time. No rough sex at 80% but it also didnt hurt. As time goes on and you heal more you can pump more and get after it.
