Whywhywhy wrote:Hey guys, strange question but are you proud or ashamed of your implant? I understand that a lot of you older guys probably don’t give a fuck about a lot of things, but to the younger guys, if word got out that you had a implant do you think you would feel ashamed or proud of your superhuman abilities?
Reason I ask is if I were to happen to get intimate with some girls in my social circle and word spread about my implant, based on your sexual experience with an implant and what you had before, how do you think you would feel?
Warning: This post is chock full of judgement and opinion.
edited to add: I composed this before reading any of the other posts. I did this on purpose so as not to influence my writing with what had gone before. What you get here are my unalloyed thoughts.
There are four possibilities: Women-con, Women-pro, Men-con and Men-pro
Some women may view you as "damaged goods", unable to get an erection like other men.
Some women may view you as an enhanced version of manhood, able get up at will and stay up for as long as you both want. Look up the term "cyborg" (person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body)
Some men may view you as less virile and denigrate you for that.
Some men may view you with envy or admiration for your enhanced sexual ability (there may be a lot of overlap between that first group of men and the second)
Either gender may admire you (if you carry it well) for your courage and candor at the risk you take in opening up on such a sensitive subject. People admire other people who are not shy about telling truths. It is an admirable trait to be unashamed of yourself.
How you are perceived (and more importantly, how you feel about how you are perceived and how you feel about yourself) is GREATLY affected by how you respond to such things.
My advice is to "own" it. Much as Jason Staitham and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson (and, in an earlier erea, Yul Brynner, Telly Savalas and Bruce Willis) own(ed) their baldness. You are a major determining factor in how you are perceived and accepted. If you are ashamed, you will be shamed. If you are proud, you will be respected. Not by everyone, for sure, but by those who count - those who are worth having as friends.
Take a hint from the attitudes suggested by the comments in this thread
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12167and maybe have one of those t-shirts made or get one of the ones shown in this thread
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16591&p=149426Also, think of how you would be viewed if girls in your circle of friends spread knwledge of your E.D.? Which would be worse? Knowledge of you E.D. or knowledge that you had successfully treated your E.D. and can now perform as well as any "intact" man?
I posted on a dating web site that I was functionally impotent and seeking a "lab partner" to journey with me through the transition from E.D. to implant. The overwhelming majority of responses were positive for my candor and courage (which actually was borne of desperation). Of course most respondents were mature women, experienced in sex and relationships. So young women without the experience and maturity to actually be called "women" instead of "children", so if your social circle is that immature, they should not be having sex anyway (judgement call on my part). But, that is how they learn to be mature, so make you own judgements about who you bed, how you do it and what you tell them before you do.
Back to my point. What you tell your sexual partners about your E.D. or implant or whatever will be VERY important in what happens next.
Short answer: Sort of. I am not "proud" of my implant. I am proud of myself and unashamed for having addressed a physical ailment with an implant.
