I will be 23 when I get the surgery done. I don’t plan on telling hookups about my implant unless you guys think otherwise? My big question is how hard will it be to get in a relationship? I don’t plan on telling the girl until things are kind of getting serious. Any advice on relationships and hookups on how to tell the girl or if i should tell them would be appreciated. Any younger guys with implants that have any advice on this would be extremely helpful too.
Don't overthink.
In Cosmopolitan Heather Smothers wrote an article (May 2019) about the dating scene and men with E.D. You might want to go to you local library or online to read it. It is not a very deep article, though.
Women are INCREDIBLY supportive and accepting if they feel trusted, respected and SAFE. I would not LEAD with the fact I had an implant on the first date, but if the gal seems interested in adding sex to the relationship, I would definitely disclose before sex. Disclosing after the first encounter brings up questions of your trustworthiness. But I recognize that there are arguments for concealing the fact of your implant as well.
There are a multitude of threads in the forum that discuss how to disclose, when and whether. Read through old threads and you will find them. Search for "Woman's Perspective" (or "Women's Perspective" to find one of them.
Remember, women choose to make love to the MAN, not the penis.
Hookups are another issue. I don't have any experience (or much advice except, make sure you know who you are bedding).
How hard will it be to get into a relationship? Every woman I have slept (both of them) with knew about the implant even before we ever met. It was in my dating profile that I was impotent and intent of getting an implant. I had a few volunteers to to the "lab work" before and after surgery.
How hard will it be to get into a relationship? How hard will it be to STAY in a relationship? I lost a number of relationships because of my erectile dysfunction before I learned to please a woman sexually (and emotionally) without an operating penis. As far as I am concerned, a woman who would reject me for inability to get erect is not worth my time (of course, hookups are an exception).
Consider the thread here (the link below), and the number of ideas put forth by implanted men. It may be pipe dreams that a guy would wear any of these suggestions on a T-shirt in a bar hoping for a pick-up... Or they may be serious.
