Does size matter?

[Gavalar09]

What I mean is doss it matter if I'm small flaccid as I'm a grower not a shower.

No, it doesn't affect your implant/erect size. The surgeon will probably do an aggressive stretch test in his office to get a rough idea of size. Then in surgery he/she will induce an erection, and carefully measure the distal and dorsal length to determine appropriate implant size. No worries about being a grower.

Your flaccid size is (or should be if you have a competent surgeon - EXPERIENCE matters!) irrelevant to your implant size and your (eventual) erection size.

The reason is, the implant size is determined by your erect penis' size. Your surgeon will measure the INSIDE of your extended (using a special tool shoved energetically into your internal space, to stretch it out just as a proper natural erection does-or did). So, the implant, matched to your internal dimensions will produce your (external) erection just the same as your natural erections were.

Since implants do not retract as fully as living tissue can, your flaccid will not be as small as before. This is a concern for some men. This is a blessing for some men. How you feel about it depends on your attitude about having a bulge in your pants.

I didn't realise that.

That's very interesting....

But still a scary thought.

I've said it before, but my surgeon never did a stretch test nor wanted to know what I thought my size was prior to surgery.

What is scary? Anything scarier than a sharp knife opening up your penis' shaft?

Obviously the thought of an implant at 28/29 years old.

I never thought I'd be worrying about ED until I was 50/60. I kept fit, always ate healthy. It doesn't really matter.

It's the girth that gets her off.

Due to Peyroines I was biggish and now I’m smallish. I can say from first hand experience that a big dick is not crucial. My wife still orgasms. However a big dick provides for a lot more variation in positions and thrusting techniques and styles. A big dick also induces better orgasms based subjectively on her vocalizations and other “ tells”. So yes a big dick is better imho but not a must have.

Ah, the old I'm healthy thinking. I wish it worked that way. During my working career, I had several coworkers have heart attacks that were slender & active. A coworker had retired young, average weight & modestly active. He'd been retired for a few months. Dropped dead of a blood clot while mowing his lawn. He was 57 as I recall. Had a good friend die of prostate cancer 4 years ago, active & healthy. Friend of mines brother ended up type 2 diabetic. A healthy firefighter.
Many causes of ED are outside of our control. Sure, we can talk about blood fats (lipids), blood pressure & type 2 diabetes. To some degree, they can be related to life style factors. But that link isn't all inclusive i.e. genetics can come into play. Then the cruel turn of events can happen. Many of the drugs to combat these things can cause ED by themselves.
My suggestion, its worth what little I'm charging you for it. Please work on wrapping your mind around the likelihood that you will end up with an implant. Once reliable erections stop. After a reasonable (short) time. Delaying an implant is just letting more of your sexual youth run down the toilet.
Yes, your fears might be based upon some slightly real scenarios. But they are few & small. Remember, for every complication there is a remedy. Find the best doctor you can that is a true professional at doing implants. Not a sideline business for him because it "looks" easy. Be involved in the decisions.
Btw, what country do you live in?
