Have folks who are single with an implant found that it is not a turnoff to a woman to have an implant? I think having a supportive wife or long term relationship makes getting the IPP a much easier decision than being a bachelor.
I think I would initially keep that I had an implant a secret then maybe disclose it later in the relationship once some emotional bonding has occurred. I think having no worries about getting it up will be good but I just don’t know what young women will think of the sex. I’ve always been extremely pleased with my cock until 5 months ago. It was 7in length * 6in girth now it’s 6.75* 5.5-5.75in girth (depending on the degree of ED I’m experiencing that day).
There are far more upsides to discosure than keeping a secret from a lover with whom you want a relationship (anonymous sex is not in my discussion at this point).
My experience with a dating site (Plenty of Fish) was that disclosing that I was functinally impotent but on the road to an implant, on which journey I was inviting a woman to accompany me on that "journey" was a positive one. My posting there clearly indicated that sexual intimacy (before and after implant) would be involved. Comments often included that my attitude was courageous and refreshing. I concluded that women appreciate a man who faces challenges (even sexual inadequacy) rather than hiding from them or going into denial. My experiences with women even before posting on PoF were that being up-front about my "penis does not work as well as it should, but I will do all I can to make sure you (my intended lover) are satisfied" was met with positive receptions.
My speculation is that women are incredibly supportive if they feel trusted, respected, desired and safe. My experience supports that speculation strongly.
To Old Guy,
Old Guy wrote:#2 is I know someone who got implanted, found a fuck buddy, and has yet to tell her after maybe 8 months.
I do know for certain of one woman who figured out her fuck buddy is implanted after their second session, but chooses not to tell him she knows, but just to enjoy the ride. She confided in me that if he chooses not to tell her, she will respect that choice of his. OldGuy, this might not be the same couple, of course. But if you know of this couple only from the man's point of view, it might be the same couple.
Another possible downside is that, if your circle of friends would look askance at a man who admitted to any sort of past sexual inadequacy (even treated successfully or effectively "cured") knowledge might hurt your social standing. And a jilted lover (or a woman desiring experience with your implant but declined by you) could disclose that information. Upside, though is that (my opinion here) a man who owns his failures as shamelessly as he owns is successes is generally regarded as more manly, admired and respected that most.
Holding a secret is a drag on a relationship, generally.
So, I, as a general rule, advise disclosure unless contraindicated by some other factors.
