Im 5 months in and recovery has gone well. Im using my implant and cycling. Im glad I did it, the only thing that Im wondering is when (if) Ill ever not notice or get used the the device in my penis? Does it ever just become a part of me in my psyche? Right now I constantly feel it and know its there.

I am one month in and the shaft feels normal mentally until I touch it.the only difference is now being a shower, that part is wayyy different.

(I read your profile, so in the spirit of your sense of humor I submit this first)

Do you REALLY want to get to the point where you forget that you have an ever-ready phallus? In my experience, my constant awareness of the weight of my penis standing out in front of my pelvis was quite gladdening.

After about 6 months to a year, I only notice that my penis is different than pre-surgery was when deploying for urination. All other aspects were pretty much natural-feeling. Note that I have an AMS LGX. AMS CX is not quite so forgiving and Coloplast Titan takes a lot longer to become natural-feeling.

Almost 5 years out and as far as "getting used to the implant", I don't know if I ever will? But, dang it works soooo good.

Two things can be true at the same time.

You will never know that it’s not an implant.

It will feel like the cock you’re supposed to have.

Four years + 2 months of faithful service from my LGX.

When I pee at a urinal (especially in winter) the 5.5” flaccid reminds me that I’m a shower, not a 3” grower anymore.

The fact that foreplay requires I squeeze my 3rd nut in preparation for showtime reminds me that I’m not in Kansas anymore (although I did use Dr Kansas for my surgery)

What I don’t do is dwell on the fact that medical science has turned me into , as the old song by James Brown would describe, a sex machine.

By about a year this all seemed normal

I'm only 10 months post op so I'm not sure if I've had enough time to answer this question. My opinion is no , you'll never not notice it and I think that is a positive. I think about, cycle and marvel at my implant everyday. I remember the depression, humiliation and how emasculated I felt having ED for 20 years. I'll never have that feeling again and I'm incredibly grateful for the medical devices and surgeons that made it happen for me and the millions of men like me.

You are always going to know you have an implant. Early on you're feeling it/thinking about it because it's a new sensation.
By one year out mine felt like it just became a part of me. Now at 4+ years out it is just there, not really something I think about at all.

On a positive note of being aware of it that could prove to be painfully important.

I am aware of this when I sit on the loo. I have imagined going to sit and pointing it at the seat (that could be painful).

One of our dogs likes to jump up us and my awareness stops her from sticking her nails in my dick (possibly painful too)


I'm sure there are other potential hazards of when the dick does not bend to take a blow etc. that may be avoided with knowing he is a special needs chap.

Bloody heck I am not looking forward to some slip ups with this thing (cow girl springs to mind) --and I guess some implanted guys have some tales to tell that began with an Oucchhh.

3 years in and I’m constantly reminded of it. Not like it’s painfully or anything, but I always read posts here that say “you’ll forget in 6 months you won’t notice it!” And I notice it 24/7. Don’t think I’ll ever get past it mentally

Is this in a good way, bad way or neutral?

I guess I am asking for the benefit of others (since I am happy with my erectile ability whether I notice its source or not).

Is the benefit of the implant worth being constantly reminded?
