End, Your problems are real - doesn't matter if they are "organic" or psychologic. Seriously - if it don't work it don't work. All of us on this board, and I mean ALL of us - were at our wits end when we finally decided to move forward with an implant. The good news is - if you have a good...

If you are in the Midwest don't forget to check out Dr. Levine at Rush University.

These are good questions, and you are right to weigh all of the pros and cons of such a big decision. Does it feel like a real erection? Short answer - pretty darn close. Let's say you bought a 1969 Camaro when you turned 16. You loved driving the damn thing so much that you never sold it or traded ...

Hey my friend, I know you know this already ... but you are way way way out ahead of events. There are many ways to treat "pd" short of an implant. Seek out a real reputable urologist that specializes in male sexual health and discuss your concerns with him or her. If they try to rush you ...

Just got back from flying out for a long weekend in Denver. On the way out, no issues. On the way back they asked if they could pat down my left shoulder.

An implant is not a cure for ED .. It is a treatment. A VERY EFFECTIVE one. No - it doesn't feel EXACTLY like your hard-on dick did when you were 18 years old ... but it works and feels great.

That is a really good way to put it.

Don't let the first week worry you ... it was a little rough for all of us. Two weeks from now you will feel MUCH better, and will be well on your way to a much better life. Hang in there.

Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and easy recovery. Nothing to do now but get 'er done.

Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it ...
