This is a great thread.
How much has it improved my life? A lot!
After my prostatectomy, I had a limp little dick that liked to hide inside. And I had the self confidence and self esteem of a ... I don't know what, because I basically had none. And the prospect of never fucking again was very depressing. I have had major depression for years (helped immensely by meds) and the ED / depression turned into a vicious cycle for me.
Fortunately, I always had hope. Not that my dick would someday magically come back to life; I had been researching on line and "lurking" around Frank Talk even before my prostatectomy, and therefore I knew that -- drastic though it may be -- the was potential to get a functioning dick again. I sort of knew all along that this is where I'd end up.
Well, now I have one. Is it different? Absolutely. Is it wonderful compared to what I had? Absolutely. Do I have a different outlook on life? Yes. It's actually pretty amazing how much of our self-identity comes from our dick (at least in my case, but I think I'm nowhere near the exception).
So, how much has it improved my life? A shitload! Sometimes I wish I had been born with an implant.
