Penile implant length and rigid erections
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:13 pm
Greetings All,
I've read Frank Talk on and off on for awhile now and it's a great resource for those of us who suffering from erectile dysfunction. It has a lot of info that wasn't around five, ten or fifteen years ago when I was researching implants. I finally took the plunge and got the surgery. I joined Frank Talk to post some of my own questions and this is my first post.
I've read that prosthesis cylinder length affects axial rigidity in a negative manner; the longer cylinders they are, the more difficult it is to have a rigid erection that doesn't twist and torque. I'd like to hear what others think and if possible, share what length cylinders they have. My own implant cylinders are 22cm long the rear tip extenders are 2cm.
Has anyone with a longer natural anatomy lost any length post op that left excess shaft skin bunched up behind the glans? Post op I lost roughly 1.5 inches of length leaving loose shaft skin bunched up behind the glans. I'm looking at a new circumcision to "tighten" things up and look "harder" when my implant is inflated.
Last, does anyone still get natural secondary erections that add more girth? I sometimes get them and they are nice, but there's no guarantee when and if they'll show.
Regards,
Gene
