Its my guess that they'll never make an implant that meets your expectations.
They arent making a product that meets their own expectations for it. Everywhere they say it lasts an average of 10 years but I have only heard of 3 guys that had their implant for 10 years. The average is 6-7 years from what I see here and some unlucky guys 1-2
I have to admit that as I have mine longer. I'm less inclined to post here. A guy can only bear a certain level of negative thinking. For what little this may mean to others, I hope that my posting has affected a few. But at some point it becomes like arguing with someone that believes the earth is flat. In that line of thinking, I want to thank a few guys that are somewhat local to me that used either of the 2 implant surgeons available here. I see that they still visit FT but they do not post. Their words that were never posted to FT were priceless to me. Btw, Frenchie, how do you explain happy implant owners that visit but don't post? Would you put them in the happy long term owners or the disgruntled frequent revision owners?
I read a statistic a few months back that ONLY 3% of men with ED will get an implant. What words can an admittedly old guy say to that 97% of ED sufferers that will change their minds? I'll answer my own question, not a single thing.
If a guy wants good data, quit looking at current posts. Go back 10 or more years. Follow the men that were implanted then & you'll see that most of them just quit posting. Their last few posts don't mention anything about being dissatisfied or facing a broken implant. To me that is a pretty good indication that they are in the 10+ year happy owner club.
You'll also find the negative guys that never get an implant & slowly drift away from FT.
Sorry for the long post guys.
