With me I found a good solution by using compression shorts. They keep my penis straight and up and don't have the annoying band like my jock straps have.

Think she was trying to talk me out of it or find a reason to deny it. Turned the tables and asked her about her life status, she said married, early 30's and trying to have kids. So, I asked her what if your husband had ED? Would you be happy the rest of your life without children or sex? I got approved.

good Old Guy, every now and then you have to get your balls out as we have a limp dick :lol:


I asked if our policy covered breast implants following cancer treatment and was told "yes "

I had the customer service rep put in my appeal that this is illegal gender discrimination. They even cover gender reassignment surgery. This has to change. I've asked for an exception based on these grounds.

Yep, there is LOTS of gender discrimination embedded in our systems. For years, Viagra was researched and available for men but nothing (except lubrication and guilt) to aid women to continue enjoying sex as ability declined. Two-edged cuts to quality of life.

I agree. It's very hit or miss. Seems like the insurance companies and workplaces would put policies in place that value quality of life. For a lot of people, including me, sex is a vital, healthy part of life and affects body and mind negatively when it goes away. Cancer was depressing enough and then to basically be told that I won't have penetrative sex again without an implant was pretty devastating.

How come you have to wait so long to cycle, is this normal when going through the scrotum ? If going infrapubic can you cycle earlier. My doctor said I would be having sex within 3 to 4 weeks post op

Did you read the part about prior sugeries & cancer treatments? Don't compare one mans treatment plan to you unless you match his medical history.
