No idea - the pump stopped moving fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders. I judged that after 15 years of no sex and having reached 78 years of age there was no point in worrying about it.

Wasas007,

Clearly you are suffering from your E.D. I recognize that the discouragement over the inability to have good coital sex spills over onto other aspects of one's life, even aspects that have nothing to do with sex.

Regarding the use of the word, "toy": I get it. I once made a post asking about how a man's partner would feel about any artificiality of an implant inside a penis. I used the phrase, "dildo inside a penis". I got a fair amount of criticism over that.

Regarding credibility: Researchers may get funding from commercial companies. They also get financial support from Universities (which, of course, may get funding from companies), from independent donors or may even be self-funded. But no researcher, institution, publication with a sense of honesty would let a funding source influence (let alone falsify) the outcome of research. Questioning credibility of an article is, of course, your right and you are right to do so. But stating an opinion as it if were fact is almost as bad as skewing a research paper to ensure future funding (which I think is your point for being skeptical over the longevity of implants' service life.)

I do not fault you for taking a pessimistic view. But I encourage you to get out from under that gloomy cloud of doom if you can.

Consider this: 30 to 40 years of age is when a man should be at the height of his sexual power. This is the prime time to get a relationship. Therefore also prime time to get an implant (if you actually do need one - more about that later). If you only have the resources to have one implant in your life, is it better to have one at 30 or to have one at 40? Women in their 20s and 30s who might be candidates for relationships or marriage with you are available to you now. So, a working penis now at 30 is a more valuable asset than one later, at 40.

Life is too short to miss the joys of sex and too long to endure its absence.

Do oral medications work for you? I delayed implantation while they worked. Do injections or suppositories or VED (Vacuum Erection Device) or constriction rings provide satisfactory sex? (I assume not since you are considering an implant, but if they do, I would continue them for as long as possible). But I would not quit having sex. There are also other ways to have satisfactory sex with your partner/wife than coitus, if your personal tastes do not forbid such things as cunnilingus, sexual aids (toys) and hands.

Life's troubles are not what make us sad. It is how we let ourselves FEEL about what life has handed us that makes us feel sad. We may not be able to change what we have been dealt, but we can change our attitude about it. You have been granted a dysfunctional erection. You cannot change that (though you can treat it with medical help). You CAN change how you FEEL about it.

I know. You did not want to hear that. You came here for one reason and I respond with advice. Unasked for advice. But this is a SUPPORT group. It is a sounding board for complaining about an unfair world. It is a place where help is offered (whether that is a sympathetic ear or a boot in the butt depends on the respondent).

I wish you well.

I think the reviews are many & not hard to find. I've found them by some simple internet searching. As I remember my search results. It is normally reported differently than you are asking. Its not that they last 10 years but they report that after 10 years somewhere in the area of 85% of implants are still in use. If you just apply some simple logic to that kind of statement & realize that implants are in predominantly older men. It doesn't take a genius to understand that many of them are not in use because the man dies or he has lost his partner.
Looking through a microscope of a 30 year old isn't going to be much help to you. The medical community has been slow to put implants in younger men. If they did put them in a younger population then the "not being used" implants would be a smaller percentage than it currently is. I.E. fewer men would of died & fewer spouses would of died.
Btw, what country are you in? Some info about yourself sure would help getting you the info that you're interested in.

You’re having the same worries and thoughts that a lot of us here on this forum are having or have had. I understand where you’re coming from and everybody else here does too.

You’re right, that studies can be and are manipulated sometimes and that life doesn’t seem to be fair sometimes, but you just have to make whatever decision you think is best for you and go for it.
