OK, got this one and thought it might be interesting for a few readers perhaps.
Hello merrix, I hope you are doing well.
I would love it if you could answer a question of mine if you have the available time.
I am 20yo and been suffering mostly from the inability to maintain an erection since around 16. It sometimes takes longer to have an erection, but I can have one , but my biggest trouble is maintaining it. To keep my penis erect I need to stimulate it physically all the time, most of the time as soon as I stop stimulating it physically it will start to go flaccid again.
My question is, if you were my age, and pills work sometimes but other times not so well, would you consider getting an implant?
I wish you all the best,
Salute .
You are basically describing my situation which I had already from the age you mention. Maybe even earlier. Whether my condition was as bad as yours, or worse or better, I don't know. But in reality it doesn't matter if it is crap or bad, and doesn't matter if it is ok or great.
What matters is whether the current level of ED and level of sexual (well rather erectional) performance on pills is acceptable.
If it is - then don't get an implant.
If it isn't - then it is probably the best option.
I took the decision 5 years ago in my very early forties. And it has been a great decision for me which has given me the sexual performance I always wanted.
So if I ask myself, if I know what I know now and the option of an implant was available and known to me at age of 20, would I have gone for it?
Tough question. The smart answer is yes. Because being able to have good sex is such an important aspect of life. But there are issues with an implant as well, which I would say are bigger the younger you are.
When I was 20, I was playing football - i.e. being naked in the showers of the dressing room with my team mates 4 times per week. I was in college, having sex with girls in the same small click of people.
What I am saying is that the potentially awkward situations were far greater than they are when you're older and living another life. Of couse, the married-with-children status is deleting the risk of being worried of having every girl you fuck thinking you are a freak.
But even if one is 30-35 years old, single and dating, the possibility of ending up in awkward and embarassing situations are far less. At that age one does not have the same strong social bonds to a small group of people, boys and girls included. The risk of you fucking a girl in college who then talks to her friend about the implanted dick of they guy she had sex with last weekend, and then that friend tells someoene else, and then all of a sudden all your friends and half of everybody else know. And that is perhaps not what you want when you're 20-22 years old.
Same with the locker room. I think there is a fair risk that at some point someone would notice something unnatural about your dick. Since at that age, in a football dressing room, the jargon will always be rough in that environment...
None of these two situations won't happen when you're 33 as ones social life works a bit different at that age.
Anyway, one always have to weigh pros vs cons.
In the case of the ED 20 year old, it is good sex vs bad sex.
Risk of having the word spread of your implanted dick among buddies and extended social networks and risk of having word spread about you having ED and not being able to get it up.
Worrying about someone finding out you're implanted or worrying about your crap dick going down when having sex.
Worrying about a few revisions down the line or worrying about a life without good sex.
At the end, my answer is I am not sure actually. I could have sex, just not the quality of sex I should have been able to have if my dick worked normally. And there were times when I couldn't perform at all, normally when there was too much alcohol involved. But the alcohol could be used as an excuse and making the poor performance less embarassing.
I also think it is different with always having had ED compared to being fully functional up till some point and then getting hit by ED. The latter would make it more difficult to handle I think.
So I am not going to give you and recommendation.
It depends on you. How you value the pros and cons of each option and how bad your ED is, how good the pills work. Have you tried the 5mg daily Cialis btw? They could even be used as "base" and then topping up with e.g. 50 mg Viagra before sex.
All I can say is that if you choose the implant - and you find a good doc who will give you good results - then the implant for sure is a solid option when it comes to the technical part of this discussion. It will 100% reliably give you a super hard erection every time you need it for as long as you need it. The feeling of having sex will be same as or very similar to the natural feeling.
Your partners will not feel your implant when having sex with you, i.e. when your dick is in their vagina they will not feel anything artificial about it. If they find out it is because of other reasons. Touching, sucking your balls for example. Or seeing you pump it up...
This advice is easier said than done when being 20 years old, but I think it is a good one. If you would be totally confident with an implant, not always spending your energy on worrying if someone finds out, just being totally confident, then it would be a whole lot easier. Not that you have to tell people, but if someone finds out, then instead of being embarassed just stand up straight and say "Yes, tough shit, isn't it? I had a downhill skiing accident (or whatever) and one of the sticks poked my crotch and damaged a vein. Had to get it mechanically fixed. But it works like a fucking charm. I can outfuck anybody on this planet including you Mr. tough guy. Watch out or I will show your GF what good sex for two hours feels like, hahaha..." or something similar. That is as said easier said than done, but I think that the young guy who would take that approach would almost get the best of two worlds.
Good luck, keep us updated.
So good luck with your d
