Continued Improvement - Month 8

[ElbowRoom]

Hey all…

I just wanted to post and say that at 8 months following my surgery, things continue to improve.

Initially I was unable to orgasm from intercourse and could only orgasm from masturbation. That lasted 4 months or so. It was of course slightly frustrating, but since I could make myself orgasm and the sex was so phenomenal, I didn’t mind too much and just gave myself time.

As I posted previously I was able to start having orgasms from intercourse, but it was a bit spotty and only happened about 25% of the time. I’m happy to report that continues to improve! I’m now able to orgasm 50% or more of the time, and if I can get to 75% I’ll be very satisfied with that. The numbness on the underside of my shaft is still there, but I think is finally starting to improve.

I also had two recent milestones: I was able to orgasm from a position other than missionary (prone from behind), and on a separate occasion I was able to orgasm from intercourse twice in one day, only about 6 hours apart. Both of these were surprising and exciting.

I want to document these improvements for other implant patients, to underscore that recovery from implant surgery definitely takes time, and while our performance quickly becomes spectacular, some aspects take longer to get back to what we consider “normal”. It’s important that we give ourselves time to adjust and improve, and that we don’t put undue pressure on ourselves and let frustration take over.

Recovery with an implant is a marathon and not a sprint, let’s all keep at it and enjoy the journey!

Congrats Elbow for your improvements. It takes time and everything is coming to normal day by day. It's not only the healing of nerves but also our brain that is sometimes still "busy" with our ED, that made us to mental wrecks, now is adjusting to the new situation, so we are getting more and more relaxed. Orgasms / Ejaculations are als very depended by the sexual excitation, which also in your case seems to play a role, cause you were able to orgasm by masturbation. I also remember in my case, that new chicks and good oral sex, made me always more horny, resulting in much faster orgasms.
It will all get better, so give it time.
