This was supposed to be a joyous lifechanging event because at 30 years old I was celibate for my entire 20s due to (mild) Peyronies disease (mild waisting, mostly issues with maintaining erection) and severe premature ejaculation.
But 5 days on -- in addition to the pain in my junk -- I'm feeling pretty sad and confused about the sizing I received.
Scrolling through the forums, it's dawned on me that pretty much every guy in the show and tell thread was implanted with a bigger model than me.
I got 20cm + 1 RTE Titan.
Now, this isn't a problem in and of itself -- but it doesn't seem to make sense given my pre-implant measurements.
I was between 4" and 5" flacid depending on conditions and 7.1" erect, which definitely puts me ahead of most men, right? 7.1" is a big dick...
But now I'm reading that dudes who were smaller than me got 22cm, 20 + 5, etc etc? WTF? How is it that I got a smaller implant than dudes who were smaller than me pre-op? It doesn't make any sense (especially given this doctor is known as a guy who is very aggressive with sizing). All I see in the show and tell thread is 22 + 2, 24, 26, etc etc
Even the doctor commented on my large size, and yet I somehow get a smaller implant than most men? I'm very confused and would love to hear people's $0.02.
I really don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but it sounds like I'm going to get 6" max with a 20+1, which is pretty disappointing given my use of VED and my 7.1" pre-op size.
First of all we are all different. You have a total of 21cm cylinders. But that will vary a lot from man to man in the end results. This is because some men have a shallow Crus (the part that goes inside your body) and others a very deep Crus. The thing is you will not know what your size is for months. I had a LGX and when I started cycling I was only at about 4.5" at 4-5 weeks post op and had gains well past the first year with aggressive cycling.
Second of all ED causes size loss. And it can be slowed greatly with stretching therapy when ED starts but most times is not done until prior to surgery if at all. So you may have had size loss from ED that may not be regained or may take a very long time with stretching.
Third is that a VED pre op will give you more size that an implant can give you. The VED is drawing blood into all the tissue where the implant is just pumping fluid into the cylinders.
So this is going to take time. I had read on this board and my research lead me to make a promise to my self not to judge the outcome for 1 year post op. Size was a big part of that but there are other reasons that go into that. Healing and adjusting to the implant, and getting really good at operating it and a few other reasons.
My VED size was larger than my youthful healthy natural size. And I had an extremely larger size with Viagra for about 20 seconds than my youthful healthy size. 3.5 years post surgery I am 1/2" shy of my healthy natural size at 6.5". But there are men that have been on this site with larger size than me with the same size implant or even shorter. One a full inch and the others at 7" or a bit over.
The first time I had sex with my implant I was just over 5" and my female partner loved it. We spent a lot of time changing positions and she came 3-4 times.
What is important right now is for you to follow your doctors instructions to the letter and be strict on your wound care. Take care of yourself to help with healing and that includes mental and physical health. You just kicked ED out of your life but you have some work ahead. Waiting is difficult and just about everyone (me included) have WTF did I do moments with this. I read about this over and over on this site and knew it going in but it still happens. Try to focus on positive thoughts. Your job now is to heal and when activated to cycle. All of this including any waiting is important.
Congratulations on having the courage to do this and welcome to the brotherhood.
