Are you happy with your implant?

[Discovernew]

It would be interesting to differentiate between younger and more senior patients.

I feel like everybody over 50 is overjoyed like a child from the penile implant while it is more the younger guys who struggle - maybe because they had some residual erectile function, maybe because they need more revisions over life time.

Anybody agrees?

A general urologist told me that those who still have quality residual erections after the implant tend to be more satisfied, and in his opinion the happiest of all are those with prior history of venous leak who were able to achieve a solid erection but struggled to keep it and then went for the implant.

If it were not for the residual encorgement and nerves still firing well for experiencing sensitivity and pleasure, a strap-on fuck session would still do the job.

The degree of complications one has had can also tank the reviews.

Think of a car that was a lemon with a lot of defects (sexual dysfunction - psychogenic, congenital vascular defects.....) from the outset versus a car that has proven a solid 70,000 miles on the road but just needs a transmission repair and it gets back to normal again after the repair/swap.

Also, the quality of sexual relationship (stable/dating) one has, the esteem cues he gets from partners, success in other areas in life..... can confound the reviews projected on these implants.

100% agree with you. On my previous implant i had engorgement but on my latest revision i lost it. I am ver worried about it.

TooYoung, I actually recall 1 member (I think rolltide?) whose infected Titan was taken out and left unreplaced for two years (can't imagine why), scar tissue hardened the corpora, and the surgeon wouldn’t attempt a salvage malleable because drilling through all that fibrosis risked tearing the urethra. If that happened to me, why would I even stay on FrankTalk, let alone bother answering satisfaction surveys!

Yes I think user "principles" also reached end of the line with his implants as well. He had gone through 4 implants in 3 years and was scheduling his 5th, all due to infections. He has not posted since 2023 and I hope he's doing ok, with or without an implant.

I pray this guy is doing well and actually did get an implant. I wonder if anyone in the forum ever communicated with him via PM?

Even in my darkest moments in life, the thing that has always kept me going is thinking "there is a solution in the horizon". If someone is told they are "end stage" and the solution isn't even available at all, must be absolutely devastating.

Man, tooyoung. I hate to be discourteous to a brother, but every time I read your theories I can just feel the world getting dumber.

Young guys are less satisfied with implants because they have multiple revisions? Nobody here with 20 years with an implant is evidence they don't exist?

For someone who alleges to be a doctor, I can’t understand how you can have this bad of an understanding of scientific method, even if you are faking it.

The first posts on this site were in 2010. So guys who got implanted twenty years ago likely don’t even know this site exists, much less post here to satisfy your exigency of evidence of their existence. If this site is like most sites, its audience has grown over time. Huh… I wonder if a growing audience on this site might correlate with an expressed recency of implantation? Ya think?

25,000 dudes get implanted every year in the US alone. And there’s what… several dozen regular posters here? Why anyone would think that self selected bunch constitutes a representative sample is nuts.

Look, it would be very courteous to simply politely point out your failures of reasoning. But you are doing people a serious disservice by giving them really, really bad information. Unfortunately, that is a problem across the internet: contrarians that like to hear themselves talk. We call them trolls. Do your own research, sheeple.

Guys: please get your info on failure rates, revisions, satisfaction, etcetera, from your doctor and ignore the trolls. Sheesh.

Be well,
Leto

Hey Leto, just to add 2 cents here. There are absolutely excellent examples on success stories in this forum, such as yourself and Bionic Dan for example. Guys who got the implant done right from the first attempt. It is valuable to listen to your story.
But it is also good to know the other extreme, guys who never got it right, and just jumped from one complication to the next. To be honest, if i had my first surgery done right i would have been the happiest guy in the world, instead i went from bad surgery right away to revision, being gaslighted by surgeons and so on. So i also have experienced the dark side of this industry.

For anyone who is wanting to have an implant they should know the risk they will take and know both possibilities exist. You might get it right and be the happiest guy, or you may be the unlucky one who got infection, multiple revisions, and so many complications.

I am just trying to say both points of view are valid. Personally i believe someone should get an implant only if all the other methods failed and there's nohing to lose.

I’m 10 weeks into it and still on the fence. My dick is still numb and I can orgasm. If feeling returns and I regain my ability to come, I will be happy. But if this is the outcome, I will be incredibly unhappy. Prior to surgery, I interview three surgeons and asked them the question, will sensation change. They all said, whatever you had before surgery, you will have after. Clearly, at this point, this was a lie.

Correction above. I cannot orgasm.

Discovernew, I don’t have a problem with a “point of view.” I have a problem with “making stuff up.” There is zero evidentiary basis for the claim that young guys are more likely to be dissatisfied with implants, or that guys with implants for 20+ years don’t exist, or that published failure rates are made up by a conspiracy of doctors, implant manufacturers and the FDA, or whatever other pseudoscience nonsense gets bandied about here by a few regular posters.

Have a story to tell? Tell your story. Have an opinion? State your opinion as opinion. But don’t make stuff up. And when you do, and you do it regularly and repeatedly, people are gonna call you out for making stuff up.

Be well,
Leto

Discovernew,
you are right, one has to hear both sides, however, the satifaction rate in the studies is 85-93%, so the "success side" is much bigger than the side with "bed" results. Most of the guys with good results are not here at FT, they are enjoying their lives and their bionic dicks and don't come here, therefore most of the people that are here have problems or complications or they are not satisfied or they are just before or short after surgery.
You can be happy that some guys like Leto and myself are happy with the implants and have the mission to encourage newbies to get an implant, instead to suffer from ED.
All the best.
Dan

Anyway,
the original question of this thread here shows that also on FT there is a high percentage of bionic brothers on this forum are satisfied with their implants:

So, to all Newbies don't let you discourage from getting an implant to finally beat your horrible erectile dysfunction!

@Tooyoung, maybe you start another questionary asking for those that are not satisfied to report theirs reasons why they are not satisfied, so you can discuss all the negative issues there?

I think in that situation we have to be able to accept that there is still life outside of penetrative sex

Somebody already brought up this topic in this thread, specifically asking about young men. I responded from the perspective of a young man, reflecting the concerns of this demographic and potential reasons behind dissatisfaction within this specific subset of patients.

Yet, each time I engage, I get bombarded by older men who have only had their implants for a couple of months or, at most, a couple of years. How about not inserting yourself into a discussion that doesn’t really concern you—especially if your sole purpose is to shut down any critical discussion ? Ending every conversation with _"I'm happy, and that's all that matters"_ while applauding each other is both lame and destructive. Some men like to get crirical, especially those who will be facing a very long way with an implant...why do older men tend to shut this conversation every time ? You have no right...It's just intrusive and lame.

And when did I ever say, _"Don’t get an implant"_? Your lack of objectivity makes me sick. What exactly are you trying to prove with that screenshot? This thread is meant to discuss different perspectives on why BOTH satisfaction and dissatisfaction might occur. Even If I made another thread those same boomers will gather...If i saw an old man discussing a topic related to his demographics like prostate cancer or urinary incontenience , I wouldn't dare to lay an input...what makes you guys so intrusive ?

A man asks what makes a young implantee concerned or dissatisfied , and I answered as a young man from my sole opinion...buy it or not..it's up to you...why the newly implanted boomers raid every fucking time ?

WOW, don't get aggressive, this thread was simple asking for yes, no, satisfied and not to discuss all kind of problems, young candidates might have.
All the best with your suffering and hope you decide for yourself the right strategy.
