Hi Charles,
What type of sex did you have w/ your implant? I would be very interested in hearing about it. You can get me at btchicago288@gmail.com

Glenn here from Boston. I got an LGX700 just about 2 years ago now and had loads of questions that only a gay guy could have.... wish this thread had existed then. I havent visited FT much lately, but would gladly share my experiences with anyone if it helps.

Glenn/hoseboy,

I wonder if you'd mind posting some of those questions you had that only a gay guy could answer. Maybe they'd help some of us still getting ready for an implant. I just posted a new thread on here about just such a question and would appreciate feedback from other gay guys and also would like to know what thoughts you had and if you got your questions answered over time or not. This is a good gay forum but it could be more useful if we used it to help each other as well as exchanging names, tho it's good to see so many of us here.

Thanks,
Steve
PS. I love your handle...

Hi, I'm new here. Copying a post I posted somewhere else on this site.

I'm 65, suffered worsening ED over the years, and now Peyronie's Disease. Also suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome which if you're not familiar with it is worse than it sounds.

So, about my first uro visit today:

Hi, Saw the urologist today for first visit and it left me pretty depressed. He focused on my Peyronie's Disease. Did an ultrasound and found two areas of calcification or something like that. He's put me on Trental which she either stop continuing calcification or maybe improve it a bit. He said there's a new enzyme drug before the FDA in Sept which will actually clear away all the plaque and whatever there is.

But I've had ED problems for years that have worsened. I asked about a shot and he emphasized how painful it is and that with my Peyronie's Disease it wouldn't help me more than an ED drug.

I asked about the cock ring I've been using and he said it might have made the whole problem worse. Might have. But without it and and ED drug I can't even jerk off to porn, forget about with a partner.

He said I could try the shot during that visit but kept emphasizing how painful it would be and how it probably wouldn't do more than an ED drug.

Right now I'm feeling kind of hopeless about it all. There's an anti depressant, cymbalta, which will improve my mood some but it kills whatever libido I have left.

I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which is much worse than the name sounds and it makes meeting people hard enough, but with a limp dick it makes it all that much harder. I know there are lots of understanding women out there but I'm GAY so

Nick, sometimes long post "Time-out." For a long post it may be better to type on a word-processing document and then copy/paste. I've also had posts disappear.

Nick, I had an lgx700 2 years ago and I wish that I had it installed earlier, thanks to Frank Talk had it done. I went to my uro and pretty much demanded that he install an ams and he pretty much concurred. This was after trying most of the alternatives, muse, Viagra, Cialis and finally the injections. Once I maxed out the injection and went back to my uro and insisted on an implant I got it done.. As far as the injections are concerned, there is minor discomfort (for me) but, at the time it was well worth it, I got a pretty good boner. So stand your ground. Email me direct at btchicago288@gmail.com if you want to talk.

I'd posted a longer post about first visit with uro who focused on Peyronie's Disease and insisted the trimex shots were very very painful.

This time I wrote up on word processor and will post a new post now:

Guys,

Thanks for the support and encouragement. I rechecked my uro’s profile page at UCSF Med Center and it says he was one of the first uro’s to use penile infections for ED. So very puzzled why he emphasized the pain aspect so much. I got his email address and will write to ask him if that’s because there’s more pain if one has Peyronie’s Disease.

Still, I think I need to see another uro who’s got a better bedside manner in dealing with ED. Because if I let the doc give me a shot to see what it’s like I need someone gentle and reassuring or I’ll freak out.

I became used to giving myself shots for various CFS treatments, such as B-12. I was terrified at the idea back then but my CFS doc at the time was so good at giving me shots that he demonstrated how it can be painless. Once I began to give myself shots I’d occasionally do it not quite right and experience a small prick of pain. But by that point I knew how minor the pain was so I lost my fear. That’s what I’m hoping for with Trimex.

Does anyone here know a uro in the SF Bay Area? I’m not sure how to look other than via YELP which can be confusing.

Btw, the Peyronie’s drug he said would be approved by Sept is called “Xiaflex”. It’s already approved for another rare condition. I thought it would be a pill such as Trental which I just started but it’s shot and a series of shots in the area of the penis where the scarring or calcification occurs. So not something to look forward to at the moment.

Also, if anyone’s interested I found a great website/blog by a guy in Europe about all things Peyronie’s and treatments he’s tried:
