So, his appreciation of Asian women is a preference, not a fetish, in my opinion. I guess he might consider making shoes for pygmy women if he likes foreign women in the smaller sizes.

He might have a small foot fetish as well

If he likes the feet as well as the vaginas, that would be in double heaven!
Add foreign accents - triple heaven.

You should gain size if you are aggressively sized when you have a revision in the future. In the meantime, you are at least average size, so try not to sweat it.

My glans doesn’t engorge at all though, it looks so small. What can be done about that? Probably nothing. Everyone I’ve talked to just says ‘just live with it’ but it does depress me.

When my dick worked at least I knew I had a decent size and sex actually felt good. Now, I don’t even want sex and even make excuses not to even though I would like to meet someone. I don’t know what I expected from getting a penile implant but it surely was more than this.

Would my girth have been better with a Titan? Or would it still be narrow near the glans? I’m not sure why it’s like that, I wasn’t like it before.

Anyway, thanks for the replies I guess.

Definitely, the implant does not cure everything that could be "off" about sex. All it does is enable rigidity. Engorgement usually follows. Libido is a separate matter, as is desire for sex. And all that is apart from desire for a relationship.

I advise you focus on what sort of relationship you would like to have with a partner and set aside any thoughts of sex. Sex (and enjoying it) will follow if the two of you want. Trust me on that. Just enjoy the company. Take the pressure off.

If that does not work, maybe consider a counsellor. You have made a fairly major change to your body. It can have effects on your self-image and the expectations you had/have may have altered your outlook. A counsellor can help with a reality check. And (trust me again) outlook is a major component of the joy in one's life.

I guess this would be 1 year and a half update now and I can say that I am not really that happy with the implant. Most of the time when pumped up to the maximum I am actually less than 6 inches, probably 5.6 inches.

My girth is 5 inches at the base and gets very narrow near the glans, like maybe 4 inches. Also, glans does not really increase that much at all it just looks strange.

I am really quite depressed with the outcome when I think about it. Everyone talks about regaining their old size but I am nowhere close to that. When I think about meeting girls, I feel like I’m just going to be a disappointment and I feel like I will be on my own forever.

I’m not sure if the implant is undersized or not but the cylinder tips have never went into the glans and are just below. I’m not sure if that would help engorge the glans or not? I don’t know.

Why is my girth so narrow near the glans as well? It doesn’t make sense. My dick was never like that, I had just under 7 inches and 5+ inch girth over my entire dick.

From your description, it sounds as though your implant may have been undersized (losing about 1" in length, girth narrowing down near glans, tips not reaching into glans). Is your glans well supported or floppy?

When you said you got in last September in your original post, what did you mean? Wouldn't that be only 6 months ago? [Oh, you meant September 2020, my bad.]

Also, what kind of exercises did you do? How often?

Importantly, there are studies reporting that men are still regaining/gaining size even 18 months after surgery:

Methods: Twenty patients underwent implantation of a 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis, utilizing LGX cylinders. Penile length, as measured from pubic bone to tip of the glans penis with the prosthesis maximally inflated, was assessed at 2 weeks post-surgery as a baseline, and then at 6, 12, and 18 months post-surgery. Patients were instructed to begin daily inflation of the prosthesis for 1 hr starting at 2 wks postsurgery and continuing until 3 mths after surgery. At that point, the regimen was modified to 15 minutes per day a minimum of 4 days per week.

Results: Median follow-up was 11 mths (6–18 mths); all length changes are reported as median values (range). At 6 mths post-IPP, length gain from baseline was 9 mm (5–20 mm). At 12 and 18 mths respectively, increases of 20 mm (5–35 mm), and 30 mm (10–45 mm) were noted. Interval changes between 6 and 12 mths were 11.5 mm (0–25 mm) and a further 9 mm (0–25 mm) from 12–18 mths. There were no instances of length loss noted from baseline values in this series.

Conclusion: A dedicated post-operative inflation protocol promotes increased measured erectile length in men implanted with controlled length expansion (LGX) cylinders.

This study had great results. They found the biggest size increases happened between 6 and 12 months:

Our data confirm results obtained by Mulhall et al.16 who reported IPP to be a highly satisfying ED treatment with the highest satisfaction seen during the first year following implantation, particularly during the second part of the first year. We confirm that significant improvement was seen from 6 to 12 months postsurgery, as shown in the overall IIEF satisfaction domain score. We found an interesting difference in the desired domain of IIEF at 6 and 12 months. In our opinion, these data reflect the learning curve, not only in prosthesis activation, but also in how to have sex with the prosthesis. In addition, this result is not related only to the satisfaction regarding the length, as it was also present in the 22% of patients who expressed dissatisfaction with the final length.

Are you exercising it at all now? VED?

If not, you should be.

[sonnyjim]

I’ve had it for about 18 months now so I’d say those “gains” I was supposed to get, I’m probably not gonna get now. What would VED do? I have never used it because I thought it would damage the cylinders.

I really don’t feel good at all psychologically, guys. But I appreciate the answers.

I really, really don't think you're too late for any regaining/gaining more size. I'm not a doctor. And really I don't know shit all things considered. But I do know dicks are quite versatile. And I've got a lot of experience in reading about that. Do you know much about the penis enlargement (PE) crowd? Mostly a huge group of insecure nerds who think manually making their dick bigger will help them, because....(?)

They do shit like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/gettingbigger/ ... for_yours/

Make sure you turn on audio to hear him.

And (some) of them don't get injured. A VED isn't gonna break anything. Read these studies I posted that are reporting men increased their size post-implant and that complications are negligible.

I'd recommend using a Bathmate if you wanna go that far. You probably don't, but I am using one now. Those things seem fucking effective.
