Bionic Flaccid?!

Postby Knucky » Thu Jul 25, 2019 8:03 pm

Hey guys!

I've been skimming through the posts here on FT for a while and I'm considering getting an implant (most likely coloplast Genesis) and wanted to here you guys out. I'm 34 and while I don't suffer from ED however I do suffer from SEVERE shrinkage when not getting laid.
It seriously shrinks to a small pecan (imagine coming out the pool or shower and having to go about life like that until it's time for sex) and you guys can imagine the embarrassment and shame I get in public. To solve this I'm thinking of going bionic and becoming a shower rather than a grower. I heard a lot of you guys are at or near your erect length when flaccid after going bionic and I know some of you have expressed the benefits of it like intiating sex at will or even gainning a little bit of extra length and girth thanks to the implant.

My girlfriend is very supportive of this fission after researching the success stories and finding out that this is a pretty safe procedure that many men are satisfied with their result, so she's on board.

I understand that this may not be a "penile enlargement" procedure but at the very least is it worth getting to end the problem of shrinkage?

Interesting.... for all my life prior to last month I had the same issue as you, and after becoming bionic it occurred to me I would have paid $$$$ out of pocket if there was a procedure to increase my flaccid even decades prior to ED issues.

Don't think I would have gone thru with it however unless I could have retained my natural erection capability (unlike many here I had no ED issues until about age 62)...and therein lies the sticky wicket I'm afraid.

But even if having a vastly improved flaccid (mine went from almost nothing, to over 4 inches now) is so important to you, you are willing to go implant with no ED suspect even if you pay out of pocket you'd be hard pressed to find a surgeon willing to do the prodeedure. Any no way insurance would pay.

If someone could invent a surgically implanted permanent flaccid increaser that retained penis natural erection capability they'd be a billionaire pretty quick I suspect.

I can attest that even the AMS 700 CS will give you a nice flaccid appearance.
My girth isn't great, but probably adequate.
I think it's about 5.25".

Length maybe 1/2" less than erect.

Nothing beats a natural blood filled erection. Less feeling, hard to orgasm, etc.

We each have our own reasons. Most are medical or even mental. But the one underlying issue is an inability to either get or keep an erection.

Reading your post it looks like you get a normal erection you just are a grower. I would definitely research this a lot more.

I am definitely pro implant. And I get crosswise with some others on here that I would recommend the implant over drugs or injections. As soon as a doc told me I had a medical reason for my ed that surgery for another issue would not fix, I scheduled implant. But would not have gotten it if I could have had my ed fixed with a reliable and bona fide surgery.

As to your post. I was always a shower. Best flaccid was 5. Hard 7. After peyronies, ed, and venous leak for 3 years, got titan implant in march. Now 5.5 flaccid, 6.25 pumped up. Still down 3/4 inch from my best due to ed issues. Implant is great over drugs, injections, ved etc. But nothing beat my natural erection. I can though now keep going and going for hours which is pretty great. Prior to ed, if I finished I had to wait 15 or 20 minutes to get up again.

As others say. You are not going back from an implant. Once in, it is there. If there are complications, you have to deal with them and they can be severe and potentially life altering.

In the end though it is a choice between you and the doc you choose who will do the surgery, and the reasons you have. Noone but you can make it.

I would think that there would be a different procedure to increase flaccid appearance. I think the implant route would be a bit overkill. I live my implant but would never trade a natural erection for a better flaccid look. I remember reading about cutting a ligament to increase flaccid length.

Good point, I doubt most docs would perform this on a young man for that reason.

Those posts get to me also. Like it's the forum that they need to convince that they don't need an implant. Dude, it either works well enough or not. Have sex or celibate. Go negotiate with the devil. E/D holds all the aces. Maybe you can delay it but you can't win. Listening to the local radio commercials that quote the number of E/D cases per year. I'm honestly surprised that there isn't more implants being done.

It is not a binary choice.

I must note that coitus is not the only sexual activity that can be satisfying for both partners. Not my choice to go without coitus, but some find it OK and my partner and I enjoy both coital and non-coital sex all the time. If I had to go without erections (I can still orgasm, even when flaccid), I would lose only a portion of sexual satisfaction. A satisfied life would still continue.

I just got off the phone with a potential implant patient with my doc. I went over all the positives and negatives. Lots of both. One big positive is that my wife and I are back in the pool tonight. I plan on going easy on the bourbon but might double up on her tequila.

I plan to remember tonight unlike last time. It will be nice to make sure she is sore all over, which she loves by the way. She also likes the titan pumped up to the max.

An implant makes that possible.
