Is the hassle worth the moments you can have sex

[Rider1400]

Although I only have sex once a week and heavy messing around one other time a week, the time I do have interaction with the wife is worth it all. Pills completely quit but injections were still working most of the time, just were a terrible problem with aching, scar tissue buildup and having to plan around it. Absolutely no question, implant was the right decision at the right time for me! I would do it over again tomorrow. It all comes down to how important it is to you to have a functional dick whenever and wherever you want it. For me definitely

For me it's pretty simple. If I ever want to have intercourse with my wife again (married 4.5 years ago and dwindling response to oral meds/almost zero response to injections) it's an implant.

It's more an "us" thing I guess and wanting to have that level of intimacy in our lives. For the last couple years I've been secretly happy when she was at work at night or on her period because it meant a pressure-free night. Sucks to have had to think that way.

Implant scheduled in two days. Good luck as you think through it for yourself.

Smphead,

I just reviewed your profile. I see that you used propecia. I will jump to the conclusion that you took that step to combat hair loss? Your appearance?

Was it worth it?

Of course propecia is not as big a step as getting an implant, but if your hair was important enough to go to the trouble of taking propecia, you can extrapolate those motives to the ability to have sex in even moderate amounts of duration and frequency.

At the time i took there were no warnimgs or red flags. I was 18 and unknown. Otherwise i wouldn't done it

Though I've never used mine for sex, yes it was worth it to me.

My wife has nearly no interest in sex 44 years with maybe a few times a year. Not one for searching outside for random partners. But here i am enjoying 50 pumps on my morning cycling and feeling the “stretch “. With some occasional self love. Bottom line: Well worth the time and would do it again, yes it makes me feel whole.

2 words, hell yes

good luck, I hope the best for you and all the guys like us after so much suffering, only we who live with this problem can know how stressful this damn pathology is

I don't think you can put the question like that.
Is it worth the cost and the hassle and the risks for 15 minutes of sex 1.33 times per week?
The implant will not give you happiness during those 20 minutes per week only.
I would say the major payback of the cost, risk and hassle comes from walking down the street, seeing a beautiful woman, smile and think "I could fuck the shit out of her", or even just getting horny and think "I will fuck my wife tonight".
Compared to walking the same street, seeing the same beautiful woman, and think "I would like to fuck the shit out of her, but no, I am an impotent bastard, so I can't. Shit."
Or hearing your pals talking about having had sex with this or that woman, in this or that place, bla, bla, bla. Every time you will get reminded about that you can't.

I am pretty sure that even people who barely use their implants will still get some level of satisfaction from them.
And yes, even though I am using more than the average man according to your statistics, I am not fucking every day for hours. For sure not.
With the travelling, the kids, busy lives and you name it, I am happy to have sex twice per week. Is it worth it? Yes, because it makes me feel good. Both to have sex and to know I can. Instead of walking around with all those shitty thoughts. I am impotent. Does my wife think about other men since I can't fuck her? Does she fantasise about other men fucking her? Silly, yes, but quite common for a man with ED I guess.

So don't think in terms of dollars per minute of sex. Think of what it will do to your life.

A shitty but still relevant comparison for me is my boat.
It costs a shitload of money just to have it. Insurance, service, winter storage, maintenance, value depreciation, petrol. Is it worth it?
Well, trying to answer the question by calculating the cost of every boating hour, nobody would probably say it's worth it.
But looking at the larger perspective - what life style I want, which people I want to hang out with, what I want my kids to experience, the meaning of being out in the fresh air, the views, etc.
And actually just the feeling I get from sitting at my terrace and see the boat by my jetty. Yes it is worth it. It makes me feel good.

Great prospective merrix.
When my ED started my thinking went the same way, I'd see a beautiful woman but knew I couldn't do squat about it. Even the nasty thoughts went away. It's depressing, especially when most of the people you work with are female.
Now it's a whole different game. As much as I can't act on the nasty thoughts that run through my mind when I see a pretty lady, at least I get those thoughts again. The implant brings confidence and ego back to life!

HappyAgain, two words-
You're right!

Well never mind sex, I would think it would be worth the hassle just to be able to jerk off, which I would do every day or two if I could.
