Good day gentlemen,
After more than a decade of decreasing penile function, an intractable dependence upon pills and their decreasing effectiveness and of course, the incalculable and immeasurable impact ED has had upon my young adult life - with a crippled mental relationship with sex and arousal, at 35 and wondering if I will even be able to form another relationship ever again that isn't defined by ED and the battle against it - I am 'this close' to booking in.
But of course, with some function remaining and being the age that I am, I have some real concerns.
Mainly concerns surrounding reliability (so many posts lately seem to relate to repeated failures). Also concerns with how natural the implanted penis looks and feels to one's self and of course to partners. Concerns too with how many revisions I will need should I live a good life span and finding a world-class surgeon to perform them and lastly but I'm sure not least of all, yes, I still do admittedly worry how future long-term partners will view me, a man with a penile implant and how that will affect our sex life for better or worse.
If anyone can offer kind words of wisdom at this critical juncture, I would be forever grateful.
The way things are right now...I'm languishing. And I am far from living my best life. My enormous potential is floating away day by day.

Also concerns with how natural the implanted penis looks and feels to one's self and of course to partners. I cannot speak about the Titan but if you look at the pictures of me, you cant tell. Look at some of the pictures that have been posted (Happy Toy, Leek^%, Donnie, Maxxxxx, Smetro, etc. Look at the pictures and honestly tell me that you can tell that they are implanted... You can't unless you grab and squeeze. People get artificial parts... knee, hip, heart, pace maker, etc. That's what happens as we get older... as for our young members, it's heartbreaking that it happens to someone so young but, hey, stuff happens.
Concerns too with how many revisions I will need should I live a good life span and finding a world-class surgeon to perform them That's a crap shoot... sometimes in life we just have to take risks. The alternative is no more sex FOREVER!!! That is not an answer, that is a life sentence.
and lastly but I'm sure not least of all, yes, I still do admittedly worry how future long-term partners will view me, a man with a penile implant and how that will affect our sex life for better or worse. A man who can make love to them for days and only come up for the occasional drink of water and pee break.

When ED is finished ruining your sex life, you have two choices... an artificial erection (obtained by pills, needles or implants or all three - not at once mind you), or a sexless life forever. Sure there are horror stories on here but there are FAR more successes. We have had members commit suicide because of ED and we have had members rise from the ashes and are loving life (and their partner). You just have to decide if you trust this stranger with a scalpel to attempt to put some love back in your love life. Only you can decide that. One thing that a lot of our members did was to pick a Frank Talk member that they feel they can trust (or even a few) and fire PM's at them with every question you can think of... or I have had several conversations with members on here over the phone... some lasting two or more hours... by the end all of their questions had been answered and they have a voice to the username and sometimes a face. I am happy to talk to anyone, anytime and I have a North American long distance plan so I frequently call people so it doesn't cost them. If this is what you would like to do, please request the phone number in a PM... most of our topics can be viewed by the public and we don't want phone numbers in the hands of the wrong people.

Re: Help Me Seal This Deal
Thanks so much RoastBeef.
I’ve been battling this near on 14 years now. Cialis was always a sure hit from the moment I started taking it but as time has passed and anxiety has actually increased, the drug is now hit and miss and that was my last resort. I refuse to inject.
I’ve already seen Dr Ralph a few times and have had email contact with Mr Kramer in the US.
I know who to go to. I know what’s involved and I know how much it will cost,
The last part is faith.

Re: Help Me Seal This Deal
Is there someone close to you that has an implant you can see?

Not to my knowledge unfortunately but I think that would be extremely helpful!

Donnie, thanks again for this great reply. Is this to say then that an implanted dick in the hands of a woman would feel abnormal if she were to squeeze?
