My journey to an implant is about the same as yours minus the steroid part. I went to Uro because of my low Libido and she suggested testosterone pellets. That worked for a while but I was still having issues maintaining an erection. So I blamed my avoidance on my libido and not actually what it was. The fear of failure. A healthy brain protects a person from harm (physically and emotionally). So knowing that you wont fail may help. Now you have documented reasons so I don't doubt that is what's going on, but avoidance may be part of the issue. I tried injections and they worked for about a year and my libido spiked due to their effectiveness. Unfortunately those stopped working all of a sudden and I was left with only one choice to get the implant. Someone said that nothing beats a blood filled dick and they are correct, however NOTHING beats the relief you feel when there is NO chance of failure to have sex. That makes everything better and eliminates the avoidance and will boost the libido. There is something about the ego that will pull you through the low libido issue. Knowing that you've satisfied your sexually charged girlfriend/wife/etc does wonders for the ego. We all go thorough this "should I or shouldn't I get the implant" battle in our heads, but I can tell you 90% of us are glad we did.
Now if you decide against the implant I would have a couple of suggestions...Limit the porn viewing and masturbation if you haven't done that by now. Nothing against either but limiting those helped me until I got the implant.
Thank you for the feedback. It really helps hearing from someone who was on a similar journey! Really appreciate it!
