But I recognize the shortcomings to this device and I can objectively say I’d prefer my natural erections if I could ever get them back.

Hi, I am really considering an implant and trying to gather as much info as possible. Just wondering if you would be so kind as to elaborate on the shortcomings you have encountered? Thank you so much!

Hi, I am really considering an implant and trying to gather as much info as possible. Just wondering if you would be so kind as to elaborate on the shortcomings you have encountered?

1. Risk of device failure. My first failed after 3 years. More expected.
2. Loss of the experience of a growing hard-on as my arousal increases.
3. My wife’s similar loss of seeing and feeling my growing hard-on.
4. A limit to the motion in certain favorite positions, namely cowgirl.

There are certainly benefits as described with reasonable accuracy on these pages and I am grateful for them. But a natural working penis for me is the best. But, none of us would be here if we all had working penises, right?

sounds like you have a lot of factors going on in your decision. The 2" loss isn't what a lot of the brothers have experienced. I had a doc tell me that because he wasn't going into the glans. I ditched him and went to Eid who will give you a guarantee of length based on an erection he injects with PGE. He kept his promise. I will also add a response to your question about the natural feel of an implanted erection -- mine feels entirely natural and is back to where I was pre-ED. Just my personal experience. Happy to respond to more questions you may have

I'm 16 days out. Only had bad pain on day one. Now that I'm in the cycle pumping stage, no way would I go back to where you are now. I was in the EXACT same place. I luck and learned for almost two years. Im only looking forward now

Man I hear you but really, I'm not getting it up so 2 & 3 are moot, 4 rather loose some motion and have to figure new position out. Not the worst problem I could have. And as for 1, what can I say? Life is full of risk.

I appreciate your replies, I've taken them into consideration, I'm 7 days out, still no nerves, want to get it done and start my new life, restart my old life and be that hammer I used to be.

Fingers crossed for me!
See you in the other side

Out of curiousity, why can't you do cowgirl anymore? Is that common for guys with implants?

Well today was the day and I'm home catching up on my Obi Wan Kenobi. Great show btw.

Surgery went well, happy that over. Pain is minimal but peeing... Holy crap that hurts! My surgeon just called me to check up and when I asked why he told me the catheter causes that as does the hook they use in the urethra to stretch it out causes much pain. Hook! I told him he could have left that part out. Lol

Other than that he installed the Titan with the largest cylinders they make. So that made me smile and my wife more so.

Now that the peeing trauma is done I'll go back to bed and contemplate having more water.
