Don't give up your natural arousal!

I wish I had looked more at ED products for guys with venous leak. Many of them looked ridiculous to me at the time, but they are looking pretty smart now

News to me! What else is there for VL?

Xialla

External penis sleeves

I tried Xialla. It did nothing for me but trap a small amount of blood in my dysfunctional penis.

Mark your pap smear is due.

A person just has to know themself and I was using too much weed, watching too much porn and reading this board too much to stop and critically reflect on what was most important to me and now I just don't know if I can go forward with this body or shed it

I think I see your problem. You need to smoke less, watch porn less, and get out and date some women. Reality is far better than fantasy.

Also I suggest you see a therapist. You are clearly depressed and need to work this out. It may actually help you come to terms with your implant and how you feel about it.

Mark -

You are not alone. I'm not saying I'm experiencing the same issue - I had to get my implant thanks to cancer - and ZERO function afterwards. I didn't have a choice. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be able to have sex again, but the implant is not a magical solution for everyone and for me, cancer to a huge part of my sexuality - size, vitality, some sensation, and loss of function. However - the implant brought me function. The basics. And if I can at least get the basics back after two years of non function, then its a small price to pay.

To me it sounds like you may be suffering from depression. Lots of people suffer this from any kind of loss, whether it be death, job loss, sex life loss, or even loss of limbs. In a way thats what this is - we are substituting function via device. My advice would be to seek a therapist that can help you deal with the depression and loss that you are going through and to help you learn that life isn't all that bad.

I wish you luck in your journey!

I had pretty bad venous leak also, but now I would have preferred to accept it and keep my natural feeling and look. I had a nice looking dick even though it didn't work anymore...but now....

I'm glad it's working for you though. The fact that so many guys are happy with it makes me less hateful to my surgeon (who is really a nice guy, but he is the guy who cut me. so I have irrational anger right now)

So it sounds like form is more important than function for you. How it looks matters more than being able to use it?

I can't speak to how a malleable would look on me, but like you, I had a good looking tool prior to surgery and now, with my IPP my flaccid is bigger, still looks and feels natural and my girl thinks the new flaccid size looks hot.

I don't think I'd like the look and feel of being hard 24/7 with a malleable. Maybe you'd be happier with the look and feel of an IPP than the malleable

Being hard 24/7 is great .and when it's down, its not like you have a raging boner sticking out . it's a shower in that position and seems to shorting up when down . But Feeling it hard all the time puts me in the mood .it's like an aphrodisiac.
i had 2 girls from before i had the implant and again after . One had been a few years before , the other was coming over for fun on a regular basis [i used pills ,supplements, that got to be a chore ] neither noticed a difference, they just wanted to ride it and cum .
And had a new fwb after i had the implant . she always came back when she could .
then my WIFE came back after a years absence , i didn't tell her i had an implant ,
SHE noticed the loss of girth[30 plus years married} . But till now does not know i have a malleable .
she has commented that she has seen my dick sticking straight up during the night when i am on my back [ it tends to do that when im on my back] me ; yeah thats great .
So it's all good, except for two complaints , 1 ,the loss of girth .to me, it does feel skinny and not plump like before , and 2, i went over this before. I think my hinge area was damaged when doubled over with the penoscrotal method .
for the loss of girth i plan to resolve that with HA fillers , then ill have my fat 6 incher girth 24/7 and im looking forward to that. And the not staying in the bent up position [it drops when i let go while standing], ill talk with boston scientific , maybe its not worth correcting that . its not really an issue function wise .
but to sum it up .I'm happy with my 24/7 hard on.
ill see if i can post a pic of "my horrible malleable " if anyone wants to see how a malleable looks.
Personally ,i didn't want an ipp , i think they have some pros , like possibly regaining lost size . but i didn't want to go that route ,with the pumping and the likelihood of it malfunctioning . not to disparage the ipp and those who have one . they are a good option.

cheers !

I don’t have any type of discernible blood flow to my penis, so I guess I would have nothing to loose.
