My implant journey - a long running saga
Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2021 1:56 pm
Hi folks, Ian here.
Background.
56 year old gay man, been with the same partner for 23 years and married to him for about 11 (I'm terrible with anniversaries and birthdays).
I split my time between where we live in Gainsborough, England and where i work in Glasgow, Scotland.
It is in Glasgow that most of the following occurs.
I started a couple of years ago with Peyronies. Such a little lump in your most precious of places.
The end result was an erect penis, bent to an angle of 90°
Thinking back, it was amazing what i could do with that bent prick and my man wasn't safe even when he hid round a corner.
I had the op. Can't say it was bad and no pain involved apart from ED.
Tried pills. Didn't work. Tried better pills and got headaches. Stopped the pills.
Got back in touch with my surgeon again and he suggested a new implant that could increase length and girth.
Sign me up please.
Operation #1
A Rigicon 10 AX implant, with 110ml reservoir and 22cm inflatable cylinders was installed. I also like to think it has go-faster stripes, heated seats and a spoiler.
No pain involved.
After the initial recovery period i got the go ahead to start cycling.
Didn't get to do much of that before it stopped working as it was impossible to squeeze the bulb after a while.
Back to the surgeon and I got accused of having a wank in the recovery period.
Who me sir? Surely not sir!
To tell the truth i don't think i did.
Operation #2
The reservoir had become loose from the bulb section, so the reservoir was replaced.
Another recovery period then back to the surgeon. Given the all clear to start cycling again.
My first proper cycle (ever) got me to 5", and solid as a rock. No pain at all so i knew i could go further. I couldn't.
Deflated and tried again. After two or three squeezes of the bulb it stayed crushed and wouldn't go back to being able to be squeezed again. Ffs. Pressed the release button and, pop, it went back to being usable. Two or three squeezes and it stayed squashed.
Hope to see the surgeon again next week.
My surgeon is one of the best in the UK and i wouldn't dream of changing to someone else. That man knows my scrotum better than anyone on the planet, plus he's now motivated to do everything possible to get this working.
I'll keep you updated.
