Are you happy with your implant?

[duke_cicero]

Very happy. 9/10. Gets better every week. Things are still dealing and I'm about to be at the 6 month mark. It's subtle things. In the first few months I had a really difficult time wearing jeans because the material is so stiff and would rub against me uncomfortably. Now, it's basically no issue. Maybe has something to do with the nerve regeneration around the subcoronal incision. It's amazing to feel that I have my life back.

I have a real sex life again. For the first time since age 20. And no pumps, no tubes, no reservoir to worry about. I'm ready all the time and it's given me so much confidence. It's easy to conceal. I don't have any problems in public. Basically everything is great. I almost can't believe it.

I'm still on my antidepressant but I think that's because I'm just genetically predisposed to that. For the record, I love Wellbutrin. Gives you drive if you don't have it because of depression. Makes it easier to enjoy life and not hate yourself, if you're deficient in dopamine like me (and my Russian bloodline). But — the implant fixed one of the biggest things in my life that was causing even more depression on top of what I'd have simply as a result of having my genes.

I wish I did it sooner, because if I did it years ago it might have been fully covered by my insurance at the time. I paid out of pocket. No regrets. But if I ever need a revision (knock on wood) I'm going to make sure that it's at least partly covered by my insurance plan.

That is really good to read that you are so happy with the malleable. Who did your malleable implant? and do you have good natural engorgement?

What you say about tubes and pumps is true. I honestly hate the connection tubes and the pump in my scrotum so much, maybe it is because of placement but i find the pump very uncomfortable as it sticks out of my scrotum (it is not on the same level as the testicles), and the connection tubing goes up my shaft and is palpable. Just not having that in itself would be a great upgrade.

Dr. Laurence Levine did my implant. Amazing doctor, doesn't really get enough attention on this forum but he's not the best marketer compared to guys like Hakky and Clavell who have big YouTube presences. I have very good natural engorgement, which surprised me given everything that everyone has said about the malleable. I still have hard-ons with my malleable hard-on. But even without that, I still think this thing would be a massive confidence booster. December 2024 marks for me the start of the beginning of my new life.

We need to repeat this poll with ages specified.

Yeah, i agree. It would be good also if we could see who voted for what. It may also have to be 2 different polls, one for malleables and one for IPP

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.

Osprey_1, I was implanted two days after you, and am only two years younger than you. I am able to have a satisfying orgasm almost every day, when I cycle my Titan. The feeling in the skin of my penis is now very normal and pleasurable. The first 5-6 weeks there was more tenderness, but that gradually abated. I hope that your numbness will ease as time passes. We all heal differently due to our specific health conditions. Please hang in there and keep us posted on your recovery.

Nice avatar Aussie guy, love a Les Paul
Sorry for going of topic

Well the small sample size of feedback i have so far kind of matches the quoted satisfaction rates, around that 85% - 95%0 happy.

The side effect of reduced ability to ejaculate worries me a bit. I already take SSRI's for depression and it's already kind of hard to finish with PIV. Who knows though I guess

Aussie, by ejaculation, do you mean orgasm? or do you mean the sperm actually coming out of your penis?
I know it is possible to orgasm without ejaculating and vice versa.

Do you already have an implant? if so, which one?

Regarding satisfaction rates, this survey so far is showing that about 30% of people are not very happy with their implant (only 70% say they love it). To me this is a more realistic number than the claimed "90%+" by doctors and manufacturers.

Discovernew, It's not correct, what you say:

In this poll, ONLY 16% are not satisfied and 84% "love it" or find it "ok", so the results are the same as some scientific studies claim.

Hi Dan,

Poll can change any day with new votes. But so far until today. Only 71% of people love the implant. The rest do not love it.

This can be a language difference or maybe a design innacuracy in the poll. But in English "it's ok" doesn't mean that you like it.

For example if I ask you if a girl attractive and you answer "she's OK" it doesn't mean that she's attractive.

Basically "it's ok" means "so-so" to me. But maybe better if this option didn't exist in the poll to make things more clear.

Whatever,
"it's ok" is like 4 of 5, at least they don't regret it.
Anyway, the poll is not scientific and represents only the very small small amount of men with penile implant and most of them, that are happy and satisfied, are anyway not here on FT to complain about whatever issues, they live their lives, fuck and forget about ED.
All the best

Hi Dan "whatever" is not a valid answer for the poll

Truth is, until now, only 71% love the implant. Whoever wants to get an implant installed needs to have this in mind. Obviously you are part of this 71% but you must accept not everyone has the same experience as you.

You speak German, but in English "it's ok" usually does not mean 4 out of 5.
