How Does your implant compare to your natural penis in it's prime?

[Hillywilly]

Hey Guys,

I don't know how to do the tag line so here is a brief background. 32 years old struggled with physciological ED for 10 years but generally have been able to perform well and get great erections. I do however have a small plaque in the middle of my penis resulting in an hg deformity (due to edging) that is sometimes visible sometimes not but goes away when fully hard. have used trimix but went back to cialis because the latter was effective. 7in x 5.75

So i was totally happy with my erections 2 weeks ago then a girl gave me some adderall which acts as a major aphrodisiac for me but also hinders my erections so i took that and beat my soft dick for about 12 hours. Now the tissue near the top feels weird and it is difficult to get a full erection. I am unsure whether I have definitely made the existing plaque worse or if it is all in my head i keep rubbing my cock checking to see if erection quality has improved and end up masterbating every morning because i'm no longer getting morning wood after the 12 hour session and miss it. I am hoping it is just not getting hard because I am masterbating 3x a day and just need to rest it to go back to normal?

I have a doppler scheduled for the 19th and if the plaque has gotten worse or there is some damage I am thinking about going through with an implant. How does an implant compare to cialis/trimix erections is it better? I am torn between getting an implant to make sure I don't get any atrophy or waiting to see if I heal like I have in the past from these compulsive masterbation episodes I seem relapse to.

Does not sound to me like you NEED an implant.

Trust me you do not WANT an implant if natural erections are still an option. Some may say they would prefer implant even if pills work, but probably not most on here. Implant is better than nothing and most would say better than injections or cock ring/ VED.

Sounds like you have a bit of peyronies and it's screwing with your head.

It's okay, that's normal, but making comparisons about implants vs natural...etc, isn't at all productive.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm gonna try 20 mg Cialis daily and try to refrain from masterbation to see if it heals. But how do i know when it's time to throw in the towel and get an implant? i've read a few posts here from guys saying they wish they got them sooner.

re natural vs implanted-- my implanted is harder fully inflated than I ever was. Is that good? up to you...

Two advices:

If you are not getting erections during the day or while you sleep, you might want to use a vacuum erection device (VED) without a constriction ring for therapeutic purposes. This will keep your penile tissues healthy and elastic and prevent loss of size from atrophy.

Lay off masturbation; certainly not to orgasm. See if natural swings in hormones lead to return of spontaneous erections, either during the day or at night. A little rubbing (I think) would not hurt, but do not go to orgasm. Check in the mornings for "morning wood" or nocturnal emissions (wet dreams).

My (implanted) erections are superior to my natural erections of recent years. But my natural erections pretty much retired 50 years ago. I would love to have the spontaneity back, the full feeling, the validation those erections could provide my partner.

Thanks lost sheep. I got a spontaneous erection this morning but a lot weaker than usually and I took 20mg cialis the night before.

Which VED device do you recommend? I’ve tried pumping before and initially got harder erections but then pumping seemed to stop working and make my erections softer.

An implant is just a hard stick inside your soft dick. Nothing is better than a pulsing blood filled dick.

There is no way to compare the difference. My only regret was waiting so long to get the implant after ED set in.

An implant is just a hard stick inside your soft dick. Nothing is better than a pulsing blood filled dick.

True enough, oldbeek. But tissues surrounding that hard stick also have tissues which engorge and have all the same nerve endings as before the implant.

No throbbing erection, for sure (I miss that). Not self-erecting (my partner misses that more than I do, I suspect). A few miscellaneous differences (cross-sectional shape, girth loss or increase, length loss etc).

But the OPs question is largely pointless. Most, if not all, implantees did not have a choice between a natural functioning penis and the implannted penis. Any man who would CHOOSE to core out a natral functioning penis in its prime in favor of an implanted one needs to examine his choices VERY carefully.
