How to temper expectations

Postby Baseballfan11 » Tue May 22, 2018 7:25 pm

How would you guys recommend tempering my expectations in the event I get an implant? In my head all I can think of is my normal dick as it is now that just requires a little squeezing to have work every time. Obviously it's not all that simple and there can be complications and such.

Baseball,

The biggest expectation that I didn’t temper was what I thought my wife’s response/reaction/interest would be. It’s less...

Knowing what I know now though, if I were young like you (and single?), I’d do it in a heartbeat and never look back.

i have read all your posts and i don't think you are near ready to consider an implant.
updated: 70 y.o., implanted with titan nov. 3 by Dr. Brady in orlando to correct peyronies. 20 cm with 3 cm RTEs. due to the severity of the peyronies, some internal excisions were made scrotally, recovery will probably take a little longer.

My urologist said the same. I just don't want to do injections for fear of developing peyronies

I have also read all your posts. you are not ready for an implant. This is a serious and permanent procedure that NONE of us jump into. Once you have exhausted all other avenues and possible treatments, then and only then should the idea of an implant be explored.The decision to get an implant is life altering, one that has been forced on most of us out of desperation because all else failed. This isn't like getting a motorcycle or a new jetski.My intention is not to be rude but to put this in perspective. The process can be long and emotionally exhausting. Find a medical professional that you are comfortable with and take your time in making your decision.

Had the implant on May 11th. Went to NY to take the stitches out and do a final review by Dr. Eid today. Everything is great. Had sex three times yesterday. I'm my old self if not better. I would not believe it a few weeks ago, this dick is even better than my original. On demand erection, sex anywhere and anytime. Which normal guy can do that?!! I couldn't be like this before ED.

I appreciate the feedback. Do you think injections would be appropriate for someone as young as me?

Yes. I was using injections at your age. If the injections work think a few good encounters with injections could change your sex life completely.

Go with the injections, worked great for me for 12+ yrs. Now I am going for the implant. I have a question for anyone out there. I am still getting pretty good erections with the injections, they just don't last, I use them about three times a week just to get hard. Should I also be using a pump in preparation for the implant which will be in about a month?

My surgeon recommends using the pump 2 to 3 times a day for 5 to 10 minutes each, one month before implant and during cycling.
