For me, my glans only gets quite hard as i approach orgasm.
The ridge from the glans does indeed seem to be very pleasurable for women.
Here are my opinions:
#1 "Glans and my personal enjoyment of sex"
ANSWER: the tips of my cylinders go quite distant into my glans, so it is well supported. Sex is equally pleasurable for me regardless if my glans is soft or hard.
#2 "Woman's opinion regarding glans firmness"
ANSWER: I do not know for sure. I have a feeling that women like a big hard glans, but I am not sure that this is a deal maker or a deal breaker.
#3 "ability to penetrate with a soft glans"
ANSWER: I have no trouble whatsoever penetrating even though my glans might be soft (because my cylinders go well into the glans to support it)
#4 "necessity of using something to engorge the glans"
ANSWER: I perfer to 'travel light' so I have not stressed on using cock rings (though cock ring makes my glans awesomely hard and big -- but not worth it to me personally) nor do I want to restart viagra (really, the spontaneity and freedom from headaches side effects due to taking a drug are nice to be free from) and similarly, I am not real keen on trying trimix gel or alprostadil gel (again, the point of the implant is to travel light and be ready for a sexual escapade in a nearby hall closet if needed) In other words, I am good enough with my cylinders--in my opinion, it is likely not necessary to go the extra mile of also having a super glans when I already have a super shaft that performs better than 90 percent of men anyway.
#5 "some discussion posts state sex is terrible without a glans"
ANSWER: I disagree. Sex is great with the implant even when my glans is soft. Sex is just great. The word "terrible sex" would never have crossed my mind. Having Erectile dysfunction and trying to have sex---that is terrible. Having an implant and having vigorous sex in many positions for as long as you both want -- that is devine and star-like. Please note, if your implant is not sized correctly, that is, too short for your penis, then you will have a floppy glans that is not supported by the cylinders. Yes, that can be a problem, and men who have been undersized should go find an expert to do a revision so that the cylinders fully support the glans. My suspicion is that those men who state"terrible" are the group that got an undersized implant. Moral of the story, go to a first glass surgeon.
In summary, if your implant is sized correctly, then the soft glans is not really an issue. I believe that this is a self confidence thing. "You have a great shaft that can last hours" "own it and go forth with confidence" this is not the sex olympics.

PS: always remember, implants do have issues, but , wow, it is still 1000 times better than trying to have sex with a limp impotent dick.
