Anyone here who had partial ED who got an implant?

[ready2go]

i would say for me yes . i did pretty good sex health wise ,up to early 60s . then i started using whatever supplements might help ,for blood flow, libido etc and combined with off brand cialis .
it started to be a project though . And if i was under rested or intoxicated, "whisky dick " good luck, fingers crossed . What i did with one younger filipina girl -34 to my 62ish , was to have sex with her and cut my orgasms short, that way i stayed in the mood and would wake up with a big ol fat woody .
but for one that Cialis gave me terrible heart burn ,it kept me awake ,and i would have to kneel at the side of the bed to try and alleviate it and a few years down the road it was harder to duplicate . And i had seen info on malleables , hard 24/7 . I thought that would be great , so i went that route .
my one disappointment is loss of girth , i could not then find any information on what size rods -mm would be suitable for what size girth a guy has. And for me, 13 mm that i received was to small .
other than that it is pretty good .never any worry about if the pill will work,or if I'm rested enough to perform .
i can have a girl get me off ,riding me and keep going, and she will get me off a second time ,with no break in-between . That was new and a nice surprise .

So, what are you doing about it. Looking for new urologist, or?

I have a few final tests fo complete (under urologist guidance), then I can comfortably say I have exhausted all options and getting an implant is the right path.

Hey, appreciate the reply. Why didn't you get a regular penile implant since implants are superior to malleable rods?

haha , yeah superior. Different . Not superior .
For one i dont want to be cut open , over and over .it might 3 months or 3 years . who knows . and i do not want to have to pump up my dick . Or all that hardware inside me . the doctor plopped all that ipp stuff on the table and tried to talk me into it ,and all i could think of of was ; holy crap ,all that goes inside ? no thanks , not for me .
"kiss" -keep it simple stupid
what i do is whip it out and im ready , all inferior and all .
and props to the guys who do go with an ipp , i hope they do well and do not need a revision for many years to come .

Not even four weeks post implant (haven’t even started cycling yet) but already I feel so much better about life. Still lots of worries about this and that but deep down I have a pleasant strange confidence.

Hi.. Appreciate the reply. I'm confused by your experience with an implant, hope you can clarify.

You said you had an implant recently. Have you not tried it yet with your girlfriend or wife?

What do you mean by "cycling"?

You said you were "gobbling a lot of Cialis" even double dosing. How many times a week were you doing this?

I look forward to your response

.

Sorry about late response and confusion.
I’m in a very dysfunctional relationship so if you don’t mind I won’t go into detail on that.

But late last year I was taking 5mg Cialis daily as a baseline. Then if I had an opportunity I would take an additional 20mg. That then went to taking an additional 40mg. Did that for nearly three weeks straight. Other than massive side effects (headaches, blocked nose as well as bleeding etc) I remained absolutely flaccid (hence my theory of psychological issues as well). I knew I had a significant problem.

The only upside was a woman I met last year at that time who was very sympathetic to my dilemma. I was an absolute dud but never once did she ridicule or humiliate me. We hung out for a few days and agreed to catch up again sometime in the future. Will be meeting her in early November. It will be an interesting experience. She has no idea what I have done.

So no I haven’t yet tried to see if it works even though I’m approaching 4 weeks since the procedure. Cycling (process of inflating / deflating pump) begins in a week and a half. Since the implant I think they left me about 30% inflated. So I have no idea how long my new erection will be. I know I will get a good 6 weeks to cycle before I see her. Whatever size it ends up being is what it will be.

As an aside, I am still absolutely gobsmacked by the guys that were given the go ahead to start the cycling process around day 3 after the implant (even more so for those that had the incision in their scrotum- mine was infra pubic). I’d like to shake their hands.

It was the last thing on my mind for the two weeks after the operation. Maybe it’s just me.

Obviously keen now to get started but will follow my surgeon’s directions.

So…..my headspace is in a good place at the moment. I am very confident that if the situation presents I have a very good chance of being able to perform. That is a nice change from being a guaranteed dud. That underlying confidence is a very nice feeling to have

Different . Not superior .

Appreciate the reply, my man. But I thought am implant was superior since it creates greater girth than a malleable. I'm confused here.

For one i dont want to be cut open , over and over .it might 3 months or 3 years . who knows . and i do not want to have to pump up my dick .

I'm confused. You get cut open with a malleable also as with an implant.

As to the amount of time to get another implant after the 1st implant expires, my uro said that it takes 10 years before replacing the old implant with a new one.

all that hardware inside me.. ,all that goes inside ? no thanks , not for me .
.

I thought it was just the pump and rods, nothing else, as simple as that.

Greatly appreciate your feedback. So 2 things.... what are the pros and cons of having an incision in the scrotum and one in the infra public? Which do you recommend for me? If I get an implant I'd want as much girth as possible.

I assume that "cycling" means pumping and deflating. Why were you surprised by the guys who start cycling 3 days post op?

If a patient can regain lost girth or length ,that is a benefit .
Having multiple revisions and having to pump your dick up is not superior .
The recovery operation and recovery with a malleable is "superior" compared to that of an ipp . which a full recovery can take 6 months to a year . then when it breaks ,and it will. 3 months , 2 -3 years? Toss the dice and see what number pops up . ,you have to go through all that again .
I was on a plane from india in a matter of days and only had to wait for the incision to heal for 4 weeks to back to everyday life .
The ipp has some benefits and those are negated by the negatives .
Each to their own .
i do not want to have to pump my dick up, oh excuse me for a bit, -squeak-squeak squeak . almost there ,hang on .
. ,or worry when the pump will malfunction or the tubing come off its connection ,or the cylinder spring a leak on the "superior" implant .
props to the guys who go that route, God speed for them and I wish them the best . But it's not for me . hard pass .

Having multiple revisions

Thanks for the reply. I've never heard of "multiple revisions" to an implant. The most is 1 revision which means that a 2nd revision (due to infection for example) is not recommended, will end in failure and render the penis unable to receive an implant. This is what my ex-uro who's also an implanter told me.

[quote]compared to that of an ipp . which a full recovery can take 6 months to a year[!quote]

So according to my research, an implant usually takes 6 weeks for full recovery before using it for sex, not a year. Where are you getting all this from?? I'm highly confused!!

To be honest I would not be able to give you a definitive opinion as to what is better between a scrotal incision and a pubic incision. Six one way, half a dozen the other way? I have no idea.

What I would strongly recommend is that you focus on getting the best possible high volume surgeon that you can find. What process they prefer to use is very much a distant and secondary consideration….in my opinion.

As to your girth considerations. again speak to your surgeon. I am guessing some makes of IPP’s might be marginally better than others. They will know and be able to advise you.

My surprise to beginning pumping and deflating is twofold.

My surgeon has me scheduled to start after week five. Others are told to start after day three. Big difference! And these differences in approaches were from what appeared to be very credible and respected surgeons.

The other surprise were the blokes that started inflating/ deflating after day three that had the incision in the scrotum. I had some swelling down there even though I had the incision in the pubic area. No way did I have the urge to want to start so soon. (Though I’m keen to start now but will wait and follow my surgeon’s instructions).

It makes me shudder to think that people started squeezing their pumps so soon next to (or near to) where the incision was. Good luck to them though, all is good that ends well.
