Can you and your partner feel your Tubing?

[Discovernew]

Stampede, I don't think the Rte is the problem. His anatomy controls where the tubing exits his penis. Removing a Rte would lower the exit point. Taking a longer cylinder then trimming it would likely return the exit point to where it is now. So no tubing improvement.

I guess you are wrong here, Gt.

The RTW being the problem was my assumption based on Op's words. "The surgeon could remove the RTE to get the tubing more proximal"

If you take a look at the professional sketch I made, you can see where I am coming from.

1.
reference cylinder, no RTE

2.
cylinder with RTE (red) moving tubing more distal

3.
longer cylinder with trimmed end, moving tubing more proximal.


By adding an RTE, your are increasing the lenght of the implant by adding length to the proximal part. By trimming and taking a longer cylinder, you shift the lenght "increase" to the distal part of the cylinder. The point where tubing exits the cylinder, lets say 2cm meassured from the proximal tip of the cylinder, is the same, no matter how long the titan cylinder is. So by trimming the proximal tip, you are moving this point more proximal. By adding an RTE you are moving this point more distal.

I am not sure if RTE is the only factor regarding feeling the tubing. I know some members here have 3cm RTE and do not feel the tubing. So i am not entirely sure what it depends on. Maybe it just depends on the doctor's placement of the tubing, just like it does with the pump. Some doctors put the pump on the front, others on the back, and so on.

If u need an RTE or not depends on your anatomy. Often, doctors want to avoid RTEs and still need to use one, if the exit of the tubing from the cylinder is otherwise to proximal and the pump would ride high for example.
Two patients, one doctor, and still one may get 18cm+2cmRT and the other gets 20cm no RTE

The location that the Dr cuts into the cavernosa plays into this equation. So that the exit point of the tubing corolates to the incision. I had infrapubic and can feel the tubing coming out just above my dick but it lays down and is obviously sutured tight to the side of the shaft well below the area that can be easily felt. I can’t see how tubing on the underside could limit depth of insertion in the lady. At least in missionary you can insert til your public bone hits hers pubic bone.With missionary everything under your dick is in soft tissue. If doing reverse cowgirl I could possibly see her feeling the tubing or it even getting in the way to some degree. When my wife does reverse she says she can even feel the pump at times on her clit but that it’s not a problem in the rare event she can feel it at all. I’m 100% satisfied with my implant. When you had the issues I had for so many years with ED, anything that gets hard and stays hard is a 100% improvement over failing erections.

I like missionary and the position where the woman has her legs over my shoulders, specifically in this position i tend to go balls deep.
I get why someone who had absolutely zero erections would be satisfied with any erection (for obvious reasons), but those of us who were half functioning with pills have something to compare to.

[Old Guy]

Yes, after close to 5 years I still feel the tubes. No problem with that and no issue during sex.

Does your wife feel it too?

She has never mentioned it, so my guess is no.

[Flounder]

I only feel tubes if I palpate deep into my scrotum to purposely find them. They are not noticeable in any position. Wife says she doesn’t feel anything different with the implant other than her wondering hands will find the pump sometimes.

Any theories as to why I feel it only on my left side prominently where as my right side, not so much? I have 20cm + 1cm RTE both sides.

is your reservoir on the left side? it might be the tube going to the reservoir

[Totitoti]

I can feel the tubing if i search for it and it is not an issue at all.

I can’t imagine how it could limit the use of your penis since it is at the base of it, I can’t even imagine it limiting the use of your penis even if it was halfway up the shaft in which case it was a “bad install” of the device. If you have ever played with a womens vagina inserting your fingers strange shape dildos etc, and women enjoy it, that tells you that tubing is not going to be a problem.

My doctor examined it and confirmed it is the cylinder tubing, not the reservoir tubing!
