Re: controversial take
I think another crucial thing is whether you can still get morning wood / spontaneous erections. If that muscle is not being regularly exercised that is where the risk of penile atrophy arises.

Penile atrophy is a concern, yes, but if a man can still get partially erect and maintain enough blood flow occasionally—even if not daily—atrophy risk is significantly lower. Function matters more than spontaneous erections.
Morning wood is influenced by sleep cycles and hormones—it’s not the only or best sign of penile health. Some men with healthy sexual function don’t get morning erections regularly, especially with age or stress.
Many couples thrive sexually even with partial erections when there’s emotional closeness, understanding, and less performance pressure. Love and intimacy can compensate for what’s missing physically.

Sorry for the cuts, but whoa! Lot of assumptions fronted by the "if" and "all you need."

I disagree. I have an amazing wife. Support, closeness, understanding. We got it all. But it can't compensate for a sloppy dick. We have a good sex life, but we both miss PIV. Managing the situation for the time being is not thriving. I can't wait to get my implant.

You're right Germaican, even i you have the best relatonship, a loving wife and best family, it can't compensate for your sloppy dick and great sex with multiple orgasm and extasis. With time you suffer depression and your relation will become ruined.
Great sex is the basis for a great relationship!

“I dont need an implant. I can get half or partially erect. all I need is an understanding wife and love lots lust little.”
There I fixed it for you.
I had partial erections and morning wood. But I couldn’t get hard enough to fuck without a huge shot of medication and a cock ring. Even then it sometimes lasted as little as 10-15 minutes. Happy with my implant but don’t for a moment presume to tell others what they need.
56yo, NYC. ED started at 40. Pills, then shots for 10 years. 24cm Coloplast Titan w/classic pump by Dr Eid 3/25/2025. Will meet for show & tell.

It's a personal choice. As maybe a man who is full of arthritis and can't walk as in his youth can make the choice of accept it or not.
There is nothing bad in an implant if that allows you harmony and peace of mind.
Some people see sex as a reproduction act, others see it as a communion act with his loved one, you can't judge someone wanting to get better. Sex open hearts and give you moments in which you open your soul to the other. Of course you can just fuck and enjoy, but give and receive what is most private from someone, is a gift that shouldn't be criticized.

Re: controversial take
Everyone is different, and everyone gets implants for various reasons and at different stages. I think it's best left up to the individual and their doctor to decide when someone gets an implant.

Re: controversial take
Frankly, none of us “need” anything.
The most controversial thing about this pedestrian opinion is the lack of halfway decent grammar. Hank must have been drunk.
Be well,
Leto

50. Implanted 5/21/2024 at Kaiser SSF. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.
