Reassurance, please… I am really beating myself up

[WhiteCane]

I know I bring this up a lot but, this whole issue of length it’s really getting to me… Most importantly, the girlfriend is happy with it but, I’m just not… Not too long before my implant, I had a stretch test of 6.75 along with my last Viagra induced erection of the same size… my visible erection was about 5.75 inches to 6 inches. It is now 1 inch shorter than that… even knowing that I’m going to need a revision because of the infamous bulge, it’s just making me really insecure knowing that it is so much shorter… I really don’t know what I’m asking for but, I just needed to tell someone and I’m pretty sure the lady is sort of sick of it… i’m just hopefully optimistic that when I get this thing fixed, I will at least come close… i’m happy it can get hard but, I still find myself watching video after video and reading paper after paper on average size to reassure myself… I don’t know… Just going a little mad, I guess… It seems a lot of guys with pretty much the exact same implant as me are getting exactly or around what I had before but, no offense, this is the Internet and I can’t see the photos people are sharing so, I’m kind of taking it with a grain of salt… I really hope everyone’s doing well…

Whitecane, It does not make since that you have not reached at least 6" with 18 + 2cm rear tips. I am at 7.25+ after pumping it up and waiting a few minutes and pumping some more. I was implanted on Sept 9, 2019. I did pump 2 times a day and it did not feel all that good but I got my length back. My implant was 22cm with no rear tips. Jim

Thank you, Jim…

I am really wondering why aren’t you getting more length from your 18+2 LGX. It should be at least 6 inches easily.
I had Titan 18+1 and I am getting 5.5 when fully pumped, sometimes when glans get engorgment it is like 5.75”.
LGX should give you at least 3/4 of an inch more then what you have now.
Wondering if you cycled it aggressively enough.
I am awaiting revision for right cylinder not being placed properly and I decided to go with LGX .
Good luck on your revision.

I’m just hoping that it is just this bulge… My new surgeon did some weird version of a stretch test and said he’s confident he will be able to get more length but, I’m just worrying because of how much more I’m gonna need to feel pleased with it… I try to stay very honest with myself and with you guys about my length and my expectations… I think I just expected a little bit closer to what I had from such a highly regarded surgeon… again, just keeping hopefully optimistic I will at least get six out of all of this… That’s about my cut off, I think

I cycle two times a day for an hour… I make sure I can’t get any more pumps out of it and check it roughly every 10 minutes… I’m extremely diligent with that one…

Surgeons have a tendency to play down what they can do for you. They want to lower your expectations so that when the outcome turns out to be better than you expected, you're pleasantly surprised.

So if a surgeon is stating that he's confident that he can give you more length, it's very likely that he can. He wouldn't set himself up to fail to meet your expectations.

The other thing is to be confident with what you have. Women love that, and while it doesn't solve all problems, it's certainly always a good thing. It contributes positively to their perception of you. You come across as tough and resiliant. They all love that.
It's not easy, but it's true.

I think you know all this, but it's good to remind you of it.

Thank you for that reassurance! 100% why I bring it up to you guys and not her LOL. I really think it’s just nervousness about the revision and how that will turn out

You just need s good working implant with no issues. Once you get that you can start really focusing on cycling. If both cylinders are not working right you are not getting your best.

Like others have said. I had no problem easily hitting over 6 inches with the 19 cm titsn cylinders. Still easily hit over 6 inches with my current 20 cm lgx cylinders.

Fully pumped I am over 6.5. That was same length with either set. If I am into sexual activities, I easily hit 6.75 and over just a bit.

I have no idea why you are not there. I say take it a step at a time. Use what you have for now. Get it replaced with a good working set. With both cylinders working and at 20 cm or better.

Then see what happens. I wish you the best. Remember and no pun intended but this a long game. It will take time to get your gains back.

Thank you, gentlemen… I’m gonna try to focus on that revision and get these thoughts out of my head… You guys are the best…
