Awesome Jersey, get the ice bag. You will be a success story!

Yes sir, got multiple ice bags and laying flat for next 2 days. Good time to catch up on reading and Movies.

Here is a thought--use frozen peas instead of ice. Rotate the frozen bags of peas in the freezer. I rotated three frozen pea bags--the peas conform to body shape better and they refreeze fine. No worries about leaking ice bags. When you are done, throw the peas away.

I'm scheduled for implant surgery on 10/28/21. Still using injections, they work but I hate the lack of spontaneity and I seem to have a harder time ejaculating. Suffered from performance anxiety since 2009, viagra, Cialis etc. The injections still work. Would you guys still recommend getting the implant?

Thanks

After using all the oral medications available at the time and known to me and having them lose effectiveness, I researched the other options. Vacuum Erection Device with constriction rings, penile suppositories (alpostrodil/Muse), injections and implants, I elected to skip the suppositories and injections. I tried VED a couple of times with unsatisfactory results (penis turned purple -disconcerting to my partner- and was uncomfortable for me). I skipped the suppositories because fellatio is a usual component of sex with me. I skipped the injections because of a number of reasons. Duration of erection was unpredictable (I did not consider priapism a significant risk, though), the potential for scar tissue at injection sites was a deterrent, I did not want to depend on a continuing supply of drugs for every time I wanted to have sex - as with the oral medications..

Those considerations were deterrents to me for injections, so I opted for implant. For you, they may not be as much a deterrent, especially if you would like to wait and see if better treatments than an implant come up (I was 69 years old and figured waiting for a new treatment would deprive me of quality sex - a younger man might wait for better implants. better drugs/treatments or an actual cure within his lifetime.

Remember, an implant is not a cure. It actually will render you completely impotent and dependent on the implant's function to get an erection. But, short of an actual cure, it is a pretty good treatment, coming very close to letting a man have sex almost indistinguishable from "natural" sex.

Your age (and thus your expected lifespan), your relationship status (married or in a committed long-term relationship) and whether or not you engage in a lot of sex or just occasional will also bear on your decision. Putting such details in your signature (which you do not have as of today) would help us to know you and thus help you better.

Howling, Injections worked for me for several years but over time became less reliable and I also developed scar tissue and peyronies from the injections. Initially I could easily ger a one and a half hour erection with tri-mix but as time went on there were times when I would lose it after 20 minutes or not even get a full erection. There is also a great lack of spontaneity in addition to having to carry refrigerated medication with you if you go on vacation and want to have sex. Never had a problem ejaculating but the performance anxiety is always there when you know there’s potential for your erection to fail. I did injections for 10 years and looking back I probably would’ve piled The trigger on the implant several years ago if I knew then what I know now.

Thanks for the responses. I've updated my signature today. I'm 66, have had a MIA in 2004 and five operations for an abdominal aneurysm. I've been married 20yrs, we went from twice a day for 10 years to every day I was home for about 5 more and now twice or three times per month as my libido has been strange. I inject .05 units of 200ml Testosterone every week, take cabergoline 2x per week and .25mg of Arimidex with every injection. I also take mirtazipine to sleep at 30mg and NSAIDS for arthritis. I don't even get the urge to masturbate occasionally and when I do it can be difficult to complete. I do enjoy the whole process and have moved on from making an orgasm the end all and would like to be more spontaneous. The injections work pretty well and I've got the dose to a level where I get a good erection that last for about 1 or 1.5 hours but it would be good to be free of the process. Bringing medicine in luggage, making sure I have syringes etc..
