Agreed. I was being sarcastic in my own reply, too. What sambalamba is committing is what philosophers call the Naturalistic Fallacy. Basically it's the argument that natural things are inherently superior to engineered things because they emerged organically over time. But I really like things like shoes, antibiotics, and contact lenses.
Duke, The main point I was trying to convey is that my deep appreciation for medical-grade penile hydraulics didn’t just come from a love of human engineering; it came from my 'millions of years of evolution' dick deciding to go on permanent strike.
If the original equipment were still doing its job, I’d be blissfully ignorant of what a penile implant even looks like.
We only start praising the 'engineered' solution once the 'natural' one leaves us stranded on the side of the road. I’m not saying nature is inherently superior; I’m saying I’d trade all the high-tech silicone/bioflex in the world for the factory-installed version that didn't require a user manual and a surgeon. But since my biology resigned, here I am, suddenly a very big fan of human ingenuity."
55 years. Using bimix 0.4 units. Works well but inconsistent and very inconvenient. Seriously considering an implant. 6.4 inches bone pressed length to tip, 5 inches girth base, 4.5 inches girth mid-shaft.
