Do your friends/family know about your bionic penis?

Postby JiminFL » Sun Aug 30, 2020 12:36 pm

Forgive me if this topic has been covered, but I haven't seen it. Do your friends and family know about your implant? Talked this over with the wife & I decided to go with a "hernia repair" excuse for my recent implant. Understanding that everyones situation is different and that there could certainly be positives and negatives involved with disclosure. One thing is certain, once that cat's out of the bag, there isn't any getting it back in. I'm giving some serious thought to "coming clean." Our circle of friends already think we are sex maniacs (and we are!) this would just seal the deal.

Nobody but my wife and doctors (and anonymous FT members) know about my implant. It's nobody's business.

Yup. Been covered a bunch if you want to take the time to do a search and read all the posts. I started wanting to keep it a total secret but man was that really difficult. I am single and could not think of a way to tell folks why I was flying across the country for hernia repair. I was so ashamed of my ED. So I just came clean. If you read the past comments you will find everything from men telling no one to others who say it is no different from getting any other body part repaired and are advocates for. I read that over 40% of men with ED do nothing about it and don't even tell their own doctor. I was one of those for a long time. I have told my family, a few friends and all my sexual partners. The world did not end and I did not die. In fact it was like a great weight was lifted off of me.

There is no right or wrong answer. This is just something you need to decide what you want to do.

Hey JiminFl! I’m almost 68 yrs old and I thought I was a sex maniac. I enjoy sex so much with my wife of 36 yrs. Nothing wrong with enjoying sex. It’s good for you! I haven’t told anyone except one close friend. It’s none of anyone’s business. I don’t trust very many people. My wife and I prefer to keep it between us for now. We are pretty private people also and just prefer to go slowly with our secret and just see where it goes. Best of luck to you!

No one knows but my wife and Son. maybe his wife. I left it up to him as to what to tell her. Like so many have said. It's nobody's business. Dr. Hakky suggested I tell everyone I was having surgery for a hydrocele. That is what I'm telling those who ask.

FWIW, my wife has made it clear that this will be the best kept secret in the free world. Not negotiable. I'm not so firm. Afterall, so many ailments have been shown to have a family factor. I would like to think that helping a son learn/deal with ed would be a good idea. But in all tie votes, she wins.
Time & noticing things are not well for one of our kids might influence her vote.

I went into surgery telling family and friends i was going in for hernia repair. When they asked me why, i had a difficult time telling them since i really didn't know much. Some of my friends who had it done were asking specific questions....so be prepared.

I spent 2 days prioe in the in the hospital before the implant surgery because i was on coumadin therapy. He wanted to make sure that i wouldn't have clotting problems due to the 7.5mg daily for the artificial heart valve.

You did very well with your outcome and you certainly will enjoy your rejuvenated tool..

I would advise guys in your situation to just play dumb. It's not like you're a medical expert. A simple I was having pain/discomfort. I found a good doctor & I put my trust in him. If they ask for his name, temporary forgetting his name might be the best. If it comes up again. Say your primary care doctor reffered you to a guy. Only met him once or twice. He had an common name you could throw out. Has to be a Smith or Jones around you somewhere. Or say he moved his practice.

Well some of the guys were specific since they had hernia surgery also. So it was them that i had to answer to. I told them i wsa on coumadin and had to prepare for the surgery...

My son on the other hand came across Dr. Eids folder in my file cabinet when i asked him to look for my passport. We were away in NOLA and needed the passport since we were going on the cruise. He called and said, the only thing that he could find was a folder with many pictures of dicks... At that point should i tell him i was getting an implant or not. My wife said don't say anything because it will be out on FB.....lol

I am still wondering whether or not i should tell him that i have an implant and relate the whole incident when he was looking for my passport...

Anyway, i am certain that any guy getting one will figure out what to say to their friends, but only when they are ready.

I've been open with practically everyone, even guys from whom I'm looking for dates. No one has shied away as a result. Most are genuinely interested.
