Dr. Eid writes the following:
"I estimate that an implant placed today will most likely last 10 to 15 years. Several patients in my practice have a working penile implant for more than 20 years. Like any other mechanical device, the penile implant is subject to wear and tear and the more it is used the sooner it will breakdown. Average use of a penile implant is considered to be one to two times per week."

What do you guys think about the following calculation?

Will the IPP fail in 1-4 years if I live my life to the fullest by fucking my girlfriend everyday? (BTW - she wants sex everyday.)

Problem:
If having sex 1–2 times per week equates to an IPP lasting 10–15 years, then having sex 7 times per week would equate to X years (assuming an inverse relationship due to wear and tear).

Answer by AI:
To calculate X, we can set up an equation based on the inverse relationship you described. An inverse relationship means that the frequency of use multiplied by the lifespan equals a constant "wear and tear" capacity (C).

Step 1: Define the equation

Step 2: Find the range of the constant capacity (C)

Using your baseline of 1 to 2 times per week lasting 10 to 15 years, we can find the minimum and maximum capacity:

* Minimum Capacity: 1 time per week × 10 years = 10
* Maximum Capacity: 2 times per week × 15 years = 30
* (Average Capacity: 1.5 times per week × 12.5 years = 18.75)

Step 3: Calculate X for 7 times per week
Now we divide the constant capacities by the new frequency (7 times per week) to solve for the new lifespan (X):

* Minimum X: 10 \div 7 \approx 1.43 years
* Maximum X: 30 \div 7 \approx 4.29 years
* (Average X: 18.75 \div 7 \approx 2.68 years)

Conclusion:
Assuming a strictly inverse relationship due to wear and tear, having sex 7 times per week would equate to the penile implant lasting between 1.4 and 4.3 years (with an average expectation of about 2.7 years).

Please tell me why this calculation is totally wrong and give me reassurance.

I honestly think that the mathematical calculation is not very relevant! Its more about, how do use ur device, inflate/deflate correctly, avoid messing the tubes, etc…

In my first few months, i was having daily sex and sometimes multiple times in a day (morning and evening) and no issues.

I only observed an issue due (minor leakage) not preventing me from penetration because of a horny masseuse who was very aggressive on my balls and messed up the tubes!

I’d say enjoy being bionic and take care of your equipment!

Yeah what a huge waste of breath and AI.

IPPs are rated for something like 6 million cycles. Failure always comes down to unusual circumstances (like the tubing rubs together daily for some reason) or a literal error in manufacturing.

Use your dick as much as you want. Life is short anyway... no matter how much it may cost to maintain or revise, as a man, these dollars are the most well-spent you will ever have to spend.

Nope.

No one can give you the assurances you seek. All we can give you is opinions, that’s not much help.

IPPs are built to be durable but like all mechanical devices they WILL eventually fail.

If absolute bulletproof durability is the highest priority to you, get a malleable.

Pro:
WAAAAAAAAY more durable.
Less expensive.

Cons:
Slightly more size loss.
Slightly harder to stow away discreetly. (Still possible, just slightly more challenging).

Find the best surgeon you can reach/afford. Ask THEM about your concerns and put your trust in them.

Wow! OMG!
If the maths were correct, my implant would have failed already, as I'm using my implant at least 3 times a day, in the weekends, mostly 6-8 times.
II tell you, that NEVER thought about calculating durability or size, started fucking 3 weeks after implant and continue and my motto is to make-up for the years I had ED.
Guys, life is too short and full of possible health complications and one gets older day by day.
Just live your life to the fullest, we all ED sufferers have deserved it
Enjoy your dick as much as yoiu want and don't give a fuck to any thoughts abaout failing or other buullshit.
All the best.

Hell yeah, brother. Use it or lose it... and whenever we reach that point, we get a slightly bigger dick. What is there to lose

yeah, that's the way to go!

Edjohn is correct. If you use a high volume dedicated implanter, you may get even 20 million cycles out of it. These devices are built like a tank and are indestructible. Stay positive. If it breaks, just replace it. Enjoy your time. Don’t worry about getting hit by a bus.

See my post here for thoughts on longevity.

Thank you bionic brothers, for your answers. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Eid, but dang, this really freaked me out.
