No, many posts are how will it feel, will it look weird, will it feel weird, will it be cold, too hard, too stiff, will the pump scare a partner off, is it noisy, how do I hide it, etc.
Here on FT we're all mostly in the same boat, and most of us know how great they are, but IMO implantees aren't ready to advertise on a t-shirt that their dicks stopped working and started shrinking, which led the wearer to point that an implant seemed like the only answer. I think we're mostly all here to just get back to where we were at our best.
I hope I'm wrong and you sell dozens. (and personally I don't care for the "bionic brotherhood" phrase, we don't have an artificial body part, any more than women with implants have "bionic boobs")
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
To offer some context, my inspiration for launching this project came from seeing a genuine interest on FT, as demonstrated in discussions like these:
-
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12167-
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16319&p=157609&hilit=Titan+Shirts+for+Sale#p157609These conversations highlighted a segment of the forum (however small) that was interested in the idea of t-shirts like these.
It's worth mentioning that the shirts are not necessarily meant to be an advertisement. Some of the designs are intended to be subtle - only recognized by other people familiar with implants, making them a much more private thing. The "Mind the Pump" design doesn’t scream “I have an implant” and is only quickly identifiable as relating to penile implants to people in this community. 'Pump' can refer to many things.
I think that the people on this forum, like any group of people, have an array of views and preferences. Some (maybe most) might not resonate with the concept of these shirts, and that's ok. However, others might want to make a big statement just for fun, and others still may want to subtly and playfully hint at the implant in a way that only other implantees can understand. Different strokes for different folks. The orders I’ve received so far suggest that there is a range of preferences on the forum, and that’s what I want to cater to with this little project.
Thanks again for your honest feedback.
