But if your wife was not severely affected by your condition; i.e., she had sources of sexual satisfaction elsewhere and did not "mind" your condition so much and did not push in any way, would you still have had the implant?
Perhaps put in another way, how important was her satisfaction in your decision-making?

No importance at all, sort of. It was largely for my partner(s) that I wanted the implant and a little so that I would be able to HAVE an erection even if I did not use it. But without a woman in my life, I probably would not have done it. But there was no woman to give incentive at the time. It was for me, my self-image and hope for the future.
On the other hand, HER satisfaction is by far the greatest reason for my decision to get implanted.
I am not married and did not even have a significant other when making my decision to have an implant. (I DID expect to have a girlfriend afterwards, though, and got a couple of volunteers willing to participate in sex with me in a before-and-after "journey" (only one at a time).
Here is my reason for having the implant:
My partner's satisfaction is VERY important to me. Almost to the point of not wanting to bother with the implant if I did not expect to satisfy a woman afterwards. My orgasms are easy and cheap. Hers are simultaneously earthy and divine; a wonder to behold, exquisite and sublime. Her orgasms are much more important to my satisfaction than my own.
Orgasms with my own hands are very nearly as satisfying as with a woman if SHE does not climax.
I find great pleasure in probing to see just how many and how intense her orgasms can be. It is a great ego boost for me to bring her to greater heights of ecstasy than she has experienced before.
My implant (and the erections it provides) give me (at least) the feeling that my masculinity is confirmed. There are two things that make that confirmation and her orgasms are as important to me to confirm my masculinity as the firmness of my erection (whether by natural means or by implant).
