Starting to change my mind

It’s insanely irresponsible and downright bizarre the number of people in this thread telling this young man NOT to get the implant. I’ve had venous leak my entire life and an implant at age 20 would’ve positively altered the entire trajectory of my life.

OP, if you have confirmed venous leak and can afford a good surgeon to implant you, BY ALL MEANS GET THE IMPLANT ASAP. Sometimes I’m baffled by some of the guys on this site. Makes no goddamn sense.

How old are u now ? How was ur experience with ur implant

There are many insane things. We are living on a planetary asylum in many ways. What I find insane is the fact that so many young men barely out of their teens think they need a penile implant. Something is clearly wrong with that picture and I find it bizarre that so many people don't notice the problem. Have you ever noticed the ages of the majority of men on here that are implanted? They tend to be elderly men many of whom had radical prostatectomy. That's a big difference and some big differences in the reasons for needing an implant.

I've noticed the increase in young people asking about implants. While it does look like a sudden flood, it might not be. There is lots of data points missing. I doubt that anybody will be able to gather them all together inorder to make anykind of rational conclusion.
Lets speculate on a few of the potential reasons for increases of ED in younger men.
1: Is it truly an increase or has the social norms been changed to allow them to vent? Could better access to info be part of it? Now that FT has matured, implants have gotten some press. Did that fuel the info flow to younger men?
2: Has the proliferation of penile health harming drugs finally reached a tipping point? Look at all the things that men are reporting about? Propecia, SSRI's. I remember running into an antihistamine that killed my erection. Fortunately it was temporary. I can't name all the drugs that I've read of. Even many of the drugs for high blood pressure & cholesterol can affect ED. Are men getting these treatments at a younger age?

You have a few years of trying different methods. A doppler/sonogram to check things out is crucial. If it ever came to it, I think you'll find most of the higher volume surgeons have great rates of success. There's always a risk, but the ones doing multiple guys successfully each week have typically got this down. I had complications with mine and my surgeon didn't bat an eye, nor did the other eye volume guy I talked to. But get your dick checked first.

I’ve been seeing many post and after reading some people who had nightmares with their implant journey making me change my decision to get a implant . Failure , infection , abdominal pain and etc. at this point idk what to do it’s killing me mentally I’m only 20 idk what’s going to happen in the future

My perspective to this is implant is not the first choice for anyone whether young or old. We have to try exhausting all possible options before jumping into implant as its life changing decision. Its not wrong to get the implant however young you are. I wish I did 15-20 years back. I lost 20 years of my life with no penetrative sex. It does have a permanent impression on your mental well being and you just cannot focus on anything productive and can destroy the life of young people when the hormones are at peak, libido on peak but yet you cannot do anything because of non working dick. BUT everyone need to check all possible options first ( unless implant is the only way out due to individual situations)

Now I have my implant at 40 a dick that works but my libido is getting lower due to low T. I am trying to work out getting more in shape and increase my libido through other means( even though I have my prescription for T medication as I am hoping to get another child in near future)..

Implant irreversibly renders a man completely impotent and entirely dependent on the implant for an erection. I will grant that an implant erection is a pretty good substitute for a natural erection but there are drawbacks and tradeoffs that CANNOT BE UNDONE.

Caution is neither irresponsible nor bizarre.
