I’m working “OK” with the pills now, sometimes even “good”. But I fear needing one or two years of complete impotence before being allowed to get an implant.
I have regained functionality and sex works 99% of the time. But I have lost confidence and I freak out and make myself miserable when, for example, it takes me rather a long time and a lot of effort to get hard, or I start to go soft in the middle of sex and have to slow down to get it back. Yes, I can usually get it back and finish, but it is nerve wracking and sucks so much of the fun and enjoyment out of sex, making it stressful when it should be relaxing.
I think the implant is the ONLY thing that is going to get that back for me. And I honestly wish I already had one.
I don’t NEED one yet, though, and for the most part I am OK with where I am. What I fear is having to endure mediocre to poor sex for years before becoming completely impotent and then dying while waiting for the surgery.
I did get implanted before full impotence.
I could still say though that I wish I did it earlier. Because in some way, even the mildest ED is still ED. Because every time your dick goes down, or won't go up, it hurts. And every time it happens, you are judged by the woman against the bench mark which is a normal, working dick.
So waiting till full impotence is in my opinioin a crap idea. Adding the size loss, scarring etc, makes it an even worse idea.
I could have half-crappy sex on my combo of 50 mg Viagra, 20 mg Cialis an a cock ring. Failed now and then, and had to hurry up to finish before it went down. Could never be spontaneous since it was no way without pills.
Never tried injections or vacuum pumps, and wasn't interested in doing so. I wanted to be able to have sex without a tool box full of equipment.
I remembered every time I travelled somewhere, I had a mental check list of all the shit I needed to fuck. Blue pills, yellow pills, ring... I just hated the risk of going off for holidays and realizing I forgot my pills. Same thing, but even worse, would go for injections and pumps. With the implant, that risk is gone. I don't need anything. What I need is always there inside me. I am always ready.
I didn't really know about implants till maybe a year before I got one. And I got one immediately after I really started to learn about what they are.
Regarding the other discussion in this thread, I agree with the men here saying sex is better. I still have a fully working glans engorgement and no lost sensitivity at all. Which makes sex amazing since I can do whatever the fuck I want in bed. I can take my time, play around, tease my partner as long as I (or she) wants before I decide to orgasm, which I can do whenever I want. After 2 minutes or 2 hours, I am in total control. And if I happen to or decide to come before her, I just keep going till she is done.
For the first months I did in some way feel the implant inside me when I had sex. Not in a painful way, but I felt them. Today, if I pump a bi short of full, I don't feel them at all. If I pump full or very close to full, I might feel them in some positions and if thrusting really hard. But it is never uncomfortable even then.
Orgasms are better, simply because I always have a hard dick while coming, and because I can keep going all the way through the orgasm by doing so extending it.
Sex is simply so much more fun when you don't need to worry about whether your dick will perform or not.
On the flip side, I would say though that for a young single guy, there is of course an awkward side of it. Hooking up with a 20 year old girl, you run the risk of being seen as "unnormal", and maybe you'll run into a few bad situations.
On the other hand, what is the option? If your dick fails you every now and then, you will be in for many just as or even more awkward situations, and it will only get worse.
At least with the implant you can perform when the chance is there.
