Should I get an implant?

Macoza,
welcome to the bionic brotherhood. Happy to have you here.
It would be good to know how old you are, best ist to update your signature, How old, how long ED, current treatment.

Macoza,

look, to play around with Viagra and Trimix, not knowing exactly what works and what not, it's quite difficult and might be dabgerous, if you overdose any of them. You report already side effects of overdose of Viagra, which is not very good.
If you knew what exactly works for you, fine, but not knowing what works in which dosage, isn't that good solution.
I'm a fan of an implant, since I got it, it always works on demand and I can fuck whenever I want, whomever I want, where I want, how long I want or need, for how long the girl wants to have my cock, iron-hard or softer (for oral). Thus my recommendation is always an implant.
Most important is to choose a high volume implanter to avoid risks and complications and just go for it!
You'll love it and forget about Viagra and Trimix and just fuck, when you need it.

You will destroy your natural penis with an implant. That's a lot more dangerous to your penis than Viagra or Trimix

Don't do the implant, it is irreversible and you will lose your natural arousal

It appears that you currently can get and keep an erection with Viagra and Tri-mix, but the results are not reliable.

If this is true, I would first try, with the help of a good doctor, to get the Viagra and Tri mix to work reliably.

If that fails, a penile implant is a fantastic solution, as it has been for me. For me, Viagra and Tri mix worked for a while, until it didn’t. Thank god the implant was a solution for me in the end.

Please note that I have an implant, and I still feel the sensation of sexual arousal and blood going into my penis. Do not listen to Mark1974.

If I were you (well: this is exactly what I am doing), I would try to take 5-10 mg Cialis daily (up to 10 mg is safe, some take even 20 mg), and add Viagra 100-150mg in case of sex. When I am totally relaxed, the daily dose of Cialis is even enough for sex.

This works for me and is keeping me from an implant right now, though I often think: F*** it and get an implant to have all that ED overthinking after you.

Will you stop trying to poison every user who comes here looking for advice?!?

It's fine to say "for me this happened"...it's fucking irresponsible to say "this will happen to you." Most men have implants and are thrilled with them. Some less so. A very few are unhappy afterwards.

In the end only the individual patient can decide whether an implant is appropriate. Not people on this forum, or even a surgeon or anybody else. If you are tired of other treatments or they are unsatisfactory, then an implant might be a good choice. It's not perfect (no treatment is), and there are some risks, but most men that get them are very satisfied.

I suggest doing a ton of research. Read papers on satisfaction rates, complications, frequency of revisions, etc. Also use AI to distill information to you and ask specific questions about aspects that concern you. Be your own advocate.

I struggled with non-spontaneous, dose-dependent, unreliable (for me) and quality-of-life-reducing ED pharmacotherapy for 20 years of my precious irreversible youth. Life is too short. Get the implant and optimize your existence. I think there’s no reward without risk and mediocrity is not a solution. Seeking a high-volume surgeon is a calculated risk that's worth it. This is my biased take based on my personal experience and personality.

Seek opinions in ED pills forum and injection forum as well. People always have smart tricks on dealing with side effects and titrating the dose in a safe and effective manner.

Seek 2nd and 3rd opinions from experienced general urologist and high-volume implant surgeons to cover your bases. Ask them both about the pros and cons of implants. They see ED patients every day in different stages and can offer experience based opinions to strengthen your decision making.

I am just a new kid on the block so have bugger all experience so all I can offer you is my opinions.

I had severe ED but if I was limp I could still manage to orgasim and ejaculate by intense masturbation of the head of the penis. Felt pitiful but I knew I could cum.

I also used to take Cialis (very high doses) and very quickly it became ineffective.

Long story short. Didn’t want to go down the injection path. I just knew it would wain just like the tablets did. So implant it was. Just had the procedure on 21 July.

My fear was all the risks. They are real but on the flip side I knew there was a good chance that I would become part of the 90% plus satisfied club.

I still have other head issues to deal with. I have severe PE. But I know two things. I am very confident that I can get and stay erect. I also know that I can climax. I also know that if I cum prematurely I can go on. That is just so important to me.
I know it’s day one post op but I have a strange confidence that I can now tackle my PE. Time will tell.
If you do choose to get an implant I cannot stress strongly enough - make sure you go to the most competent surgeon that you can find. This is critically important.

I appreciate your words but I did read up on issues some men were having with their implant. I wonder if some men have experienced lower libido with an implant.

Just remember that as good as this forum is, it can give the appearance that heaps of guys have problems with their implants because if you're having issues or want to vent, you're probably going to come here. Most of the guys that are satisfied and loving their implants are off living their lives.

I also wouldn't listen to anything Mark1974 says. He's been on a mission scare anyone from getting an implant. I hopefully think he has metal health issues. He disregarded what his surgeon recommended and went for a malleable implant and now he's not happy that it's hard all the time. There's another thread where initially everyone was trying to offer advice on ways he could get the situation rectified but he won't listen to anything. I think most guys have started blocking him now.

Even the poll that in did on this site indicated that about 85% of guys were happy with their decision and ib think if i had worded some of the options better, the score would have been higher

Welcome. I’m pretty new here, but I have 2 cents to offer.

As much as you are injecting you may want to think about whether you are building up scar tissue.

Libido is great for me. I can sit and dream and feel it I’m my dick. Wonderful. I can have a conversation and feel it.

Sex, does feel great, I did abuse him this past weekend, or should I write my wife did, and it was sore. But you see I’m less than six weeks post op.

I must agree with others about Mark1974, I think he thought he would turn into Mark007 with an implant or he is just a troll.

Would I do this sooner if I knew more about it. Definitely.

Stay away from half ast urologist.
