Implant Journey Begun - One Remaining Concern

[defiant]

@defiant, congrats on the steps you've taken so far and having narrowed it down to only one remaining concern. Having been implanted only 3.5 weeks I can't really address your question, but it's good to see you making progress towards a decision.

Thanks a lot, man!

The one thing about having the implant is the confidence it gives me. Married to a much younger wife brings me some added responsibilities of keeping mama happy. When ED hit I got so depressed.
I suggest looking into a few sex toys after you are healed from the implant. There are many male masturbaters available to mimic numerous sexual acts. Figure out what feels good. Once you know that your confidence should improve.
Good Luck.

Thank you so much! I’m really hoping that the implant can be a huge, key part of my healing.

The constant mental and emotional strife of not being able to rely upon your erection and expect the sadness of failure or early loss of erection is so debilitating..

I think the mental side of the decision to get an implant is huge. I know you say "will an implant feel part of me" Well for me the bent shrivelling dick i've been battling with for the last four years didn't feel part of me in the end. Every time i got it out for a piss, it did my head in. And sex became hard work to useless, so i'm sure an implant will be a huge improvement on that.

I've been through the head thoughts like "should my dick define me" etc and to be honest my wife is mid 50's going through menopause and isn't that into sex anymore, so i'm not doing it just for that and i definitely won't go looking for sex elswhere. But just to think when called upon i can perform should make a massive difference to self confidence.

Sex is a massive part of the human existence even if we're not getting alot of it. Everytime you watch tv or films or chat with friends at partys there can be references to knobs and sex and knowing my dick is a mess is jarring and no good for self esteem. I'm hoping you and myself will have a better future in that respect. Good luck brother.

defiant,

Yes, it took my body time to adjust.

My doctor gave me the okay to have sex eight weeks after surgery. But it was two more months, at least, until sex consistently felt good.

During that interim, I often felt pain and discomfort or little sensation at all when having sex. But I kept at it, and the change happened.

At my six-month appointment, I told my doctor what happened. He said that was to be expected as my body healed and adjusted to the implant.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I appreciate it.

And thank you all for your input.

Yes if I was as young as you and had ED I would look at every possibility to regain my manhood. I know some say being able to get an erection isn't the end of the world. I say BS on that. To a man that is our manhood, what we were made for. Losing it is as depressing as losing a close friend.
When I was dealing with insurance to approve my implant one lady was asking me all sorts of questions, I guess to find a way to deny paying. Finally asked her if she was in a relationship and how old she was. She was married and mid-30's. I asked her what if her husband had the same issue, would she be ok with no more intimate times for the rest of her life? She approved my surgery.

This is of course the most compelling reason to get the implant.

It’s a really really hard decision when you have some pill-dependent function left even though it’s far less than what one would like to deem reliable and you’re still relatively young and single.

When Viagra started failing for me that was as bad as when ED first started. I was taking a 100mg dose and when it started to fail sometimes all I would get is a migraine. Most medicines only cause the side effects for me and not what they are supposed to do. I've always wondered what these pills were doing to my health. When I moved into injections that same thought kept running through my mind. Filling my body with drugs that may or may not cause some problem down the road. The implant is my perfect solution. Wish I had never started using the sex drugs.

Very convincing, OG!
