hi,

can anyone provide some perspective on how you came to decide on an implant. i have suffered a spinal cord injury and nothing is the same below my neck at c5/6 where i was injured. numb patches, burning pain in some parts. i have some good sensation down there but not good enough to maintain.

i have been told injections are good but they take out the spontaneous part of it. i know these are all probably things that have been discussed before. there are a thousand things to think of and i guess i just wanted to see other peoples thought processes behind it all and if you've got any advice for me. i think that if sensation returns to normal at some point and ive got an implant thats a bigger bonus right? but while i wait and have nothing im just going insane and becoming more depressed.

I think you should try injections first… if injections do not work then go for the implant and you’ll be super happy about it !

I'm just 2 years older than you with an implant. If injections worked for me I would've totally just used those and been happy with them. They didn't work at all so here I am with an implant. I'd say go ahead and give the injections a try. At least then it will help you narrow down your decision making on whether or not the implant is the best option for you.

I'm 24 and I dream of an implant ... at the moment cialis daily with viagra if it gives me stiff erections but they disappear very easily

Did you have erections at any point or were they null?

I could have erections with Viagra but they disappear too easily. By the end of sex my penis was very bendable and weak even with Viagra.

everything worked normally for me until my injury. ive got an appointment booked on 19th aug with a urological surgeon to discuss implant. hopefully by the end of the year i will be implanted

I'm in the same situation ... but disgustingly depressed and thinking every fucking day about committing suicide ... no doctor is willing to implant me because of my age

This is a sentiment that confuses me greatly, especially as you are a fellow jelq-HF member. I’m at the point where cialis is reliable although I expect that to wane with time as it does most people here and also owing to the fact that HF tends to be progressive AND ALSO owing to the fact that my ED is due to decreased glans sensation, which there is no treatment for (an implant will allow me to stay hard to complete the act, but will not help sensation). In my mind, injections are WAY less attractive than just getting an implant. The thought of having to endure the pain of an injection every single time I want to have sex or make love… what is so awful about the implant that I consistently see implanted people in these forums say “I would gladly rely on injections if they worked, instead of living with this implant”. To me, that means the implant has to be GOD AWFUL. I see injection therapy as the bottom of the barrel way of dealing with ED. Please understand I do not wish to offend, and I know I’m being hysterical, but I just have to convey my feelings on this because I want someone to challenge my understanding and maybe even convince me otherwise. So, my question to y’all is… would so many of y’all actually prefer to rely on injection therapy than continue living on with an implant if you could wave a magic wand? If so…why?

I don’t know what you’re reading but I’ve read countless and I mean countless posts and spoken with many men - all with implants - who absolutely love it!!!!!

It changed my life this, I’m so much more confident that!…

These are the vast majority of reviews I’ve heard about an implant.

You’re probably reading reviews by people in god-awful starting situations.

Do some proper research and stop latching on to the bad ones.

I’ve spoken with at least 3 implanted men on the very topic of injections vs implants and they all said they fucking hated injections. No spontaneity, long term damage, pain, storage issues, the works.

Hey whatsup defiant!
I'm inclined to agree with you... i mean im not on injection therapy NOR am i implanted but to me...by my very subjective preferences and just intuition...the implant sounds infinitely more attractive than injection therapy. That being said though i know that not everyone will agree with me and my little rant was in no way meant to attack anyone's choices...i just see the sentiment repeated here so much that it makes me ask why is that so? but ive left the topic from my mind since
