So,
How many years is an appropriate amount to suffer with ED and its attendant anxiety and feelings of general wretchedness, before going for the implant?
At what point have you earned the privilege to be allowed to have sex feel carefree, spontaneous, and fun?
How much misery and humiliation should a man have to endure before getting the problem fixed once and for all?

go with the implant when the other options fail (pills and injection), simple

Yeah, you aren’t wrong. I’m just feeling lost and uncertain. It’s been three weeks since this latest bout of ED started and last night was another big failure.

Part of me feels like I just need to get back to being able to trust my body again; and part of me just wants to be done with this shit altogether. It took months to get back to a semblance of normality last time, years to get back to feeling anything like confident again, and in truth none of it ever returned fully.

How do you know when pills “fail”? How long do they have to fail for before they have officially failed? I was on the pills for months last time before they did anything for me.

OtOH, just a few weeks ago I had a boner stiff enough to hold a towel up - with the help of the pills of course.

Now it’s touch and go trying to even masturbate.

I see a long haul back up the hill for the next few months, and just… wish it weren’t so.

I envy you guys who already have the implants. Don’t want to wait too long and die before I get mine.

Nocturne, I started having ED problems in my late 40's and started using PDE5 pills, Viagra at first and it worked pretty good, then the Air Force switched to Cialis and it worked good too. During those younger years of ED, I didn't have to watch what I ate as much so that it wouldn't cancel out the effects of the PDE5 inhibitor pill, but as I got in my late 50's and early 60's it was discouraging when they wouldn't work and I couldn't get a boner.
I was also having prostrate problems in my early 60's and went to see my military urologist, while I was there, they had a questionnaire that asked all kinds of questions about sexual function and I answered all of them honestly rather than being embarrassed about it.
So, while they talked to me about my prostrate, they also talked to me about a cure for ED which was the implant. Yes, I was afraid, because I would never have my old dick back, but I would have something that would work anytime I wanted to have sex.
After I had the prostrate procedure to reduce the size of my enlarged benign prostrate, I guess they must have hit some nerves down there because I had total ED, nothing would work. Nothing
My doc told me my prostrate would have to heal before they could do the implant. It took 3 months for me to heal. It was a long three months without sex, and there are guys on here that go years without any good sex.
I'm glad I made the decision to go Bionic, and sex has been great
If you can do it, don't wait, get your manhood back and have great sex again with your wife

Thanks, Sworks! I have seen your story before and it is inspiring!
This is a thing I *definitely* want to have done at some point before I die, I just want to time it right. I’ll likely need OHS about 5 years from now, so I have to think of that too - a fear is that “the right time” will JUST SO HAPPEN to coincide with OHS such that I end up having to wait a year to have the implant done….

If your heart could handle the implant surgery, I would do it now. The doctors will determine that by doing labs and a thorough exam with ekg of your heart to see if you could handle the implant surgery for a new Bionic Dick.
Why do you have to wait 5 years for OHS, if have some blockage already?

Hang in there,

It’s to replace my aortic valve, which is calcifying. Another medical issue they tell me to wait on getting surgery for until it gets worse.

Thanks.

Nocturne, have you consulted with a qualified urologist about this and any other relative medical condition(s) ?
