Should I get an implant?

You will destroy your natural penis with an implant. That's a lot more dangerous to your penis than Viagra or Trimix

Don't do the implant, it is irreversible and you will lose your natural arousal

Will you stop trying to poison every user who comes here looking for advice?!?

I appreciate your words but I did read up on issues some men were having with their implant. I wonder if some men have experienced lower libido with an implant.

I struggled with non-spontaneous, dose-dependent, unreliable (for me) and quality-of-life-reducing ED pharmacotherapy for 20 years of my precious irreversible youth. Life is too short. Get the implant and optimize your existence. .

Hi lasthope,

Very sorry to hear about the stupid med that wrecked your life dude. I know exactly what you went through, it's very hard. I have 2 questions...

1. Are you able to feel arousal and good libido with your implant?

2. I took viagra 3 weeks ago and was able to get erect. But I didn't feel sexual sensation in my penis. Yet I read that you need to be sexually with excited for viagra to work. But in my case I got erect without feeling sexually excited. What do you make of this and what do you suggest?

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the needed advice. Did you libido return after you had your implant? What did the doctor tell you?

Looking forward to your response.

I am just a new kid on the block so have bugger all experience so all I can offer you is my opinions.

I had severe ED but if I was limp I could still manage to orgasim and ejaculate by intense masturbation of the head of the penis. Felt pitiful but I knew I could cum.

I also used to take Cialis (very high doses) and very quickly it became ineffective.

Long story short. Didn’t want to go down the injection path. I just knew it would wain just like the tablets did. So implant it was. Just had the procedure on 21 July.

My fear was all the risks. They are real but on the flip side I knew there was a good chance that I would become part of the 90% plus satisfied club.

I still have other head issues to deal with. I have severe PE. But I know two things. I am very confident that I can get and stay erect. I also know that I can climax. I also know that if I cum prematurely I can go on. That is just so important to me.
I know it’s day one post op but I have a strange confidence that I can now tackle my PE. Time will tell.
If you do choose to get an implant I cannot stress strongly enough - make sure you go to the most competent surgeon that you can find. This is critically important.

Just remember that as good as this forum is, it can give the appearance that heaps of guys have problems with their implants because if you're having issues or want to vent, you're probably going to come here. Most of the guys that are satisfied and loving their implants are off living their lives.

I also wouldn't listen to anything Mark1974 says. He's been on a mission scare anyone from getting an implant. I hopefully think he has metal health issues. He disregarded what his surgeon recommended and went for a malleable implant and now he's not happy that it's hard all the time. There's another thread where initially everyone was trying to offer advice on ways he could get the situation rectified but he won't listen to anything. I think most guys have started blocking him now.

Even the poll that in did on this site indicated that about 85% of guys were happy with their decision and ib think if i had worded some of the options better, the score would have been higher

Welcome. I’m pretty new here, but I have 2 cents to offer.

As much as you are injecting you may want to think about whether you are building up scar tissue.

Libido is great for me. I can sit and dream and feel it I’m my dick. Wonderful. I can have a conversation and feel it.

Sex, does feel great, I did abuse him this past weekend, or should I write my wife did, and it was sore. But you see I’m less than six weeks post op.

I must agree with others about Mark1974, I think he thought he would turn into Mark007 with an implant or he is just a troll.

Would I do this sooner if I knew more about it. Definitely.

Stay away from half ast urologist.

macoza, FWIW, regarding your question below, my experience has been similar to many others. I didn't lose libido, I experienced reduced sensitivity following the surgery. From what I've read, many believe it is caused by trauma to the nerves in general from the surgery, and can repair over time. Some have referred to it as the "brain-dick" connection. It's not numb -- it just didn't trigger the same sexual feeling post-op. The good news is that 5+ months post-op it has improved noticeably, and I hope continues to improve over the next 6 months. In the mean time, I've found that making the most of the sensations that are there is really helpful. For me, those include THC and PT-141. But anyone considering those needs to consult their PCP, urologist, and any other care provider they rely on for health.

Greatly appreciate the reply. I've lost noticeable sexual sensation following the issues with injections, although my uro said it was mental not nerve related since my penis is not numb.

Even though I'm still able to get erections with viagra, would you suggest I still get an implant?

macoza, I've read lots of posts with guys saying they lost sensitivity from the surgery. I don't remember reading posts with guys claiming that the surgery fixed some pre-existing lack of sensitivity. That said, FWIW, if it were me, I'd want to investigate the sensitivity issue before mixing in more variables from the surgery. I'm not saying don't get the implant -- if it were me I'd want to know more about the sensitivity issue ahead of time.

Hi chuck,

Thank you for the link. It's extremely interesting and helps expand my understanding. What kind of specialist do I see for possible nerve damage of the penis?

Btw, the link talks about numbness. I don't feel numbness on my penis after touching it everywhere.

Is it possible that I had incurred some internal nerve damage from injecting trimix? My uro says no. Just so you know, the last time I felt sexual sensation was about 6 weeks ago when I masterbated and ejaculated. Since that time, I've been unable to feel sexual sensation or orgasm. What do you suggest I do?
