Biggest downsides to the implant

[Donnie1954]

Great news Tybeeman,
So good to hear from you. Implants are awesome. Sex is great. I have never been happier. Yes. I never stop thinking about sex. Life retired in Ga. is incredible!

Unfortunate. Except for the first post no one else is giving an appropiate answer, and old guys behave like giggling teenagers again. While I can somehow understand you, it is very difficult to get a proper discussion going.

And on the other hand, in the other thread where merrix makes a proper post about rear tip extenders gets almost shut down really irritiates me. Life is not about sugarcoating, it s about making rational decisions.

So far, the downsides I read about:

i) bigger bulge (more a problem for some than other)

ii) erectile tissue get s somehow destroyed, completely dependent from prosthetis (obvious)

iii) more sensitive towards hits on the penis, as the tissue can not move as before, due to the plastic cylinders, therefore it feels more painful if you take a ball/slight shot etc to the penis.

iv) hiding is not possible (sometimes, but rarely all the time)

v) risk of infection (obvious as well)

vi) loss of length (be prepared, even with a good surgeon to loose 0,5-1 cm)

vii) recovery period (dependant on person and pain threshold)

viii) pump might make sitting down more difficult /needing rearrangement ( - really would like to hear something about that - paradox example : an old guy says it doesn t hinder him at all, and two sentences later says he had to change the way he goes into his car bc of the pump...)

ix) numerous revisions if you are young.

feel free to add or to comment.

Guys... Can we please stay on topic. This young member has legitimate concerns and would like some help.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

Compared to the shriveled up dick that didn’t work at all after the prostatectomy, there are no downsides. None.
If I had a magic wand (well, actually I do now ) are there things that I wish were different? Yes.
I wish my dick were rounder. The oval thing is very real for some. My theory is that guys who had good girth before the implant are more likely to get a rounder result than skinny dicked guys like me. It stands to reason — they have more natural tissue to round things out.
I wish I had all of my sensation back on the underside of my dick. It has largely returned, but right near the incision site and the site itself there is still numbness. I’ve had enough other surgeries to now that the nerves right at the incision may never come back. Part of the price you pay for surgery, I guess.
After having a small pecker my whole life, and an innie after the prostatectomy, I am thrilled to have a “flaccid” 3-1/2” dick. I wish it would hang straight down, but it hangs at about 4:30, looking like I’ve got the start of a woody.
I can definitely feel the tips in my glans. Not objectionable, but not natural feeling. I can feel the tubing, also not natural, but what the heck, they’re there.
I wish my erection pointed up at 1:00 like it used to, rather than 2:00. This has improved from 3:00.
Now, all of that being said, it’s kind of like having a tee time delayed — a “first world problem”. These are things that I’d change if I could, but all of them together don’t add up to a problem. They’re all minor compared to what I had.
Hope this helps.

Enough with the RTEs. Trust your Surgeon to give you the best results. I'm with Radioradio. My dick is more oval than round but it is also alive now. I gladly have an oval dick than a dead one. I am less sensitive now and it takes longer to cum but I get no complaints. At least there is no PE. It's history now after the implant. I can feel my implant inside me, the tips, tubes and pump but I don't care. It what makes me a functional man. It part of me now. When I pump up, it's just a nice working dick, only better. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you God for my implant!

Thanks for your serious response man I appreciate it. A lot of guys here say they haven't lost length but I'm prepared for that. Something I'm really scared of is not being able to cum post implant. I feel like ejaculating during implanted sex will be nearly impossible. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Why are you not going to be able to cum after the implant? Have you had surgery on your prostate or something like that?

No ive just never come from sex before because my dick hasn't been nearly hard enough. I'm worried if I can't come now there's no way I'll be able to with tubing inside me

Not true... My orgasms have NEVER been so powerful, and I last a LOT longer than I use to.

I totally agree with you, Bob.
