Considering implant but....

[JP1977]

Hi all, I’ve been reading this thread. I’ll tell my story somewhat quickly.
My wife and I are swingers, thats a big part of all of this. In August we went to a swing party and a friend gave me some trimix. I wanted to try it because of the lack of side effects and super natural abilities it can provide. And provide it did, I was able to really go all night. Got the shot to knock it down, went to sleep (nap) before we went home. But the erection came back....I tried everything to make it go away. I was concerned but figured that it was just too strong and would go down. I had myself convinced that it was cycling a little but not really. I resisted going to the hospital and figured if it was still going on the next day, I’d go to the ER.
Now about 30 hours later, I got help. A 3 hour wrestling match with needles in my cock got it down but it kept coming back. (Think something out of the movie hellraiser except it was my penis). I ended up with a stint which is achieved by shoving a knife/needle through the head of my cock to connect two blood supplies and knock it down.

I saw a specialist two weeks later who said give it a few more weeks and we would inject it again and ultrasound it to see what the damage was and could help provide insight on the direction to go next. I could not get hard during this time, with or without meds. If you look at a priapism for over 12 hours, The stats are bad, I went about 30. Not looking good.
I went back and he shot me up.....much to my surprise, my cock came back to attention! I couldn’t believe it. We did the ultrasound and found that I have very low fibrosis considering the length of my priapism. Ok flow on the left side but low flow on the right side. He shot me up with the antidote to knock it down and I was started talking.

This is a very highly respected urologist who knows his stuff with implants. Said he does over 30 a year, which is a lot for a typical urologist. So he is knowledgeable on the subject.
He said based on my blood flow, there was no more risk of fibrosis if we wait. He suggested I continue with my pump and keep on trying. Get on daily low dose cialas and wait. See if I heal up, maybe it’ll come back. I have some work obligations so I decided to take his advice. While talking my erection came back strong, he injected me again. My BloodPressure skyrocketed thinking of another potential hellraiser session with my penis. He couldn’t give me any more medicine but we got it down to full but not crazy hard. Said to call him if it comes back. I went home and enroute home it came back with a vengeance.....my wife wasn’t home....I masturbated to try to knock it down. I was able to squeeze it really hard and get it to go down. I did that a few times to cycle blood and eventually it stopped. I clearly can not handle those injections....which is what I told the doctor. That is not an option for me. I’ll really end up in trouble again.

Since then I scheduled a second opinion with Dr Eid.
Now I sometimes wake up with an erection. Not a full one but every now and then it’s good enough for sex but it cycles up and down throughout. I can pump it up and use a cock ring with varied success. One morning after a failed attempt with a lot of viagra the night before....I woke up with a really decent erection....not as good as normal but the best one I’ve had since aug....I had good sex with my wife. We have had sex 5 times since aug, one was good, the others were a bit of a struggle.

I go see Dr Eid on the 21st. My wife is worried he is a Ferrari salesman and is going to sell me a big ol Ferrari cock when maybe a little more time and I’ll heal completely. I don’t believe I’ll heal completely. I had another big dose of viagra last night and failed attempt with her again. This is a week after the good one. We go see Dr Eid in the 21st. I wouldn’t be able to get surgery until at least mid November early December anyway. Which would be 5 1/2- 6 months since the incident. So I have a little more time to experiment and see if I’m seeing improvement.

As a swinger, my current situation will not work at all. We would have to give that lifestyle up, something we don’t want to do. If we had to we could, but we don’t want to.
Has anyone had marginal success with erections but just really acceptable and still went and got an implant or do most men wait until they really never get any kind of erection at all before they get one.
Thanks for your insights on the subject and sorry for the novel. They won’t be that long going forward.

Why would you have to give up the lifestyle if you got an implant?
You don't give your age, so I ASSume that if people saw you walking around with a hardon, they will marvel at your staying power !
In the beginning, it might be awkward on the pumping, but as you get familiar with your equipment all over again, you will learn to pump more discreetly.

I got my implant because I saw the writing on the way. If I found FT BEFORE my implant, I probably would have put things off for a bit because Bimix was working, but at a really high dosage like 85ml, started with 5, 8 years prior.

[JP1977]

Maybe I didn’t phrase it properly....we have to give up the lifestyle now. Right now I have no control over any kind of erection and that’s not going to work in the lifestyle. Having full control over it would be very good for the lifestyle I’m assuming.

Last night was frustrating because I woke up with a decent one 3 times. Then in the morning, nothing. I can masturbate sometimes and never get fully hard despite being really turned on and have an orgasm....then sleeping, here it is.

I am 47 by the way.

That’s what I’m looking to hear. Is it ridiculous that I’m considering this even when I can SOMETIMES get a “usable” one? Thank you for your insight.
I also think it’s important to take into consideration what your sexual life is like and what you want to maintain. Having a “usable” one every now and then might be fine for someone who only has sex with their partner twice a month or even once a week. But if you have sex with your partner a few times a week, plus parties and hanging with other partners...you really need some kind of control for that. If the pills worked, I’d stick with that but they are really less than 50% for me.

That is the beauty of the implant. You can pump up to enough to give others a gander of what you are packing, then when the deed arises, you can pump up all the way and fuck their brains out!
Oh, forgot to mention, after the MALE cums, you can still fuck! You may not be into it as much, but you still get to fuck...male or female, and bring them off, lol.
This ^^^ us what I am advertising now!

I personally, would postpone it until all mods stop working or become non reliable.
Since you had priapism with TRIMIX, I am wondering why BIMIX was not recommended? BIMIX is less potent and don’t contain prostaglandin PG1 so it erection will be neither painful nor long lasting ( up tp 2 hours)

If you are already using big doses of viagra, and the resulting erection is unreliable, then I don't think there is much left for you to consider.
Injectables don't seem to treat you well.
I was in your situation, I was using big doses of different PDE5's, at first the erections were great, then okay, unreliable, not good enough. In the space of months.

I was implanted 3 months ago, I can not describe how amazing they are. Read my journal if you are interested.

An implant in the swinging lifestyle will be a superpower, there are some implanted swingers here.
Dr Eid is up with the best in the world. He won't mess you around, I doubt he needs to lie to people to make money, his waiting list will be huge as it is, and his reputation is why so many people want to go to him. He is to be trusted.

It's a hellish situation to be in, but implants done well (Eid will do it right) will give you your lifestyle back.

Having said that, I would listen to the Urologist you have too, he sounds like a good fellow. Between him, Eid and yourself, you're actually in a pretty good position for a good outcome.

Considering I almost wound up with another priapism with the injection of Edex for the ultrasound, I’m afraid to even try another injection. In fact I’m nervous that I know I’ll have to be injected again eventually to determine sizing and do another ultrasound with Dr Eid if I go through with it. Seriously, I could even tell it caught the other urologist by surprise and he was very concerned about it.
The pills are very inconsistent, even while on daily cialas.
That said, nothing will happen at least until end of November anyway, so there is time for me to experiment.

Yes, that’s what I keep telling my wife. Dr Eid isn’t hurting for patients so I’m sure he will be straight with me. The best option is to just bring her with me and let her ask whatever she wants. She won’t hold back.
I will look up your journal. Right now I enjoy reading other peoples journeys. They make me feel better about the whole thing.

[Agfa13]

Yes, please bring your wife! It would be nice to have her support and she will be the BIG beneficiary of the implant when not at the parties
Like I said earlier, when at parties, both guys and gals will be looking at you in amazment!
Pump up for walking around,just to get their attention, and pump up fully to fuck! Win-Win
