Impant life style curiosity

[Hillywilly]

Hey Guys,

I am 32 years old and in November I binge masterbated for about 12 hours and now have a more prounounced dent on my left side and a slight HG all the way around midshaft. I can still get hard enough for sex but not as hard as I would like and it's really bothering me and effecting my confidence.

Drs telling me no need for an implant and to wait 6 months to see if I heal. But I am just curious how many revision surgeries you can have??? Like could I get an implant and just have as many revisions as I need or like what's the limit? Because someone told me 2-3?

There is no hard limit on the number of revisions (or partial revisions, to complicate matters) a man can have. It is HIGHLY dependent on specific details of his condition. The causes of the need for revision bear on this, also.

Your Doctor's advice to wait is sound. If you have a working penis (however marginal) destroying that erectile capacity for a mechanical device is short-sighted and foolish.

Look at it this way;

An implant is non-reversible and will render you unable to get an erection without it. An implant does not cure E.D. It guarantees 100% impotence until you inflate.

If you could run a 6 minute mile on your own feet, would you opt for prosthetic feet that enabled a 4 minute mile, but if (when) they failed, would leave you in a wheelchair until you have another surgery?

Implant is not a cure. It is a treatment. A very good one, but not a cure. A natural erection if far superior in many ways, so if a treatment that is less invasive, destructive and flawed than an implant will work for you, take it. Most treatments do not leave you permanently changed as an implant does. But if NOTHING is available, then do consider an implant

Very good explanation...

Do you think under the right circumstances (no diabetes) someone implanted in their 30s could still have a revision in their 70s?

I’ve had an initial implant & 2 revisits one in 4.5 years.

I can still get natural engorgement around my cylinders & have minimized my hydraulic usage by fitness & nutrition

Note that with an implant if you have engorgement before, with a skilled surgeon you can have natural engorgement post implant.

I can keep my implant inflated 25% & have sex with my natural engorgement.

Let me know if you have any questions

This is great to hear! Do you have a journal by any chance? Very interested in your journey, and so happy that even after 2 revisions you still have natural engorgement!

What is binge masterbation?

I am 10 days postop now, and I am somewhat optimistic that our experiences might be similar. I took the heart what the doctor said about waiting too long, the part about “on the day of your last erection, that is the day your penis begins to shrink“. So, I was still getting affective use, I’ll be at erratic, with Trimix, and would still get the occasional nighttime erection. When I consulted with my doctor, he said that “you were in the sweet spot“. You still have healthy tissue, you still have engorgement of your glands, and you well may get blood flow into the corpus cavernosum

Again, only 10 days out, but since I am feeling no pain, really, I have allowed my thoughts to drift to the erotic, watched a little porn, and have indeed felt that quote tingle” a blood coming into my penis. I am very very encouraged by this.

Would you mind telling us how old you are? And, where were you in terms of your penile tissue prior to your surgery? Similar to mine? You still had some function?

When having sex, my next question for you is, does that sense of blood flow into your penis, the engorgement you describe, closely resemble what you were experiencing when everything was healthy? Basically, the feeling of “getting horny”, and feeling it in your penis.

Howdy Thailand:

I don’t think the “natural engorgement” described by Roofer is all that unnatural. At least if I am any indication (sample size 1 LOL). I’ve seen the exact thing since I’ve had my implant.

I’ll be 67 next month. I’m in excellent health. Reasonably fit. Not obese but I do need to get back to gym and lose 15# (I’m 6’1”, 190, 32” waist). Other than massive ED and a history of hernias I had no problems. I used shots then pills + shots for 32 years before implant.

If I want an erection, whether it’s to entertain my wife, entertain myself, or just admire it in mirror, I can play with nipples, balls, butt….watch some dirty movie clips on phone, and feel that sensation. I get nothing resembling an erection, but it does chub up a little and the cylinders are naturally stiffer than my junk was pre-implant. I could masturbate to ejaculation that way although I prefer to inflate when I first feel those groin sensations. That makes it all feel real.

The best way I can describe this is it in no way is like having a plastic dildo inside me. My vision is that I now have 2 cylinders that don’t leak, and it’s my job to inflate them manually when I feel an erection coming on. I’ve been blessed/cursed with a strong libido so I might inflate multiple times during the day. It wouldn’t surprise me if many guys experience the same stirrings of an erection which prompts an inflation. Others might not get similar stirring in the groin and for them, they’ll strictly inflate for mechanical sex. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I still get the sensation of an imminent erection, what vascular and nerve system I have left in there wants to spring an erection, I’ll see some albeit not a lot of natural engorgement, I’ll cooperate by inflating, and the whole process feels totally natural to me. It might be the primary reason I took to my implant like a duck to water and it feels completely natural to me. Except for a third ball in my nutsack, nothing feels like a foreign object in me.

I’ve rambled, but this is a tough thing to describe. I hope it danced around your question somewhat.

SHEEP I think this guy makes good points on the implant thoughts?

Look at it this way;

An implant is non-reversible and will render you unable to get an erection without it. An implant does not cure E.D. It guarantees 100% impotence until you inflate.

If you could run a 6 minute mile on your own feet, would you opt for prosthetic feet that enabled a 4 minute mile, but if (when) they failed, would leave you in a wheelchair until you have another surgery?

A natural erection if far superior in many ways, so if a treatment that is less invasive, destructive and flawed than an implant will work for you, take it. Most treatments do not leave you permanently changed as an implant does. But if NOTHING is available, then do consider an implant

We often hear that an implant is the last resort for erectile dysfunction. My agreement with that is dependent on what is meant by the term “last resort.” If by last resort, we mean that after an implant, other options such as injections and oral meds are closed to a man suffering from erectile dysfunction, then I would agree. However, if we mean that you should not consider an implant until you have tried every other option and not until every other option fails to give any relief, I would totally disagree.

Since this is, after all, a Peyronies Disease forum, it should be noted that an implant by a good high volume surgeon can completely solve erectile dysfunction and Peyronies Disease deformity with one outpatient surgery taking less than an hour. When Peyronies Disease exists with erectile dysfunction as it often does, there are few other real options since no other treatment addresses both issues at once.

Even for erectile dysfunction alone, implants are sometimes a better option even if other options give an erection. Often men are not willing to take the risk of injections (development of scar tissue), or they find the monthly costs, lack of spontaneity, opposition to self-injection, transporting and storing drugs when traveling, unacceptable. Penile implants are a real option, NOT just a last option for these men. The same is true for men that get inconsistent results, negative side effects, and find the cost unacceptable for Viagra and other oral drugs.

My current assessment is that I wasted years and thousands of dollars with VEDs, pills, traction, injections, over-the-counter supplements, “cock rings,” and more. In my case, I can clearly attribute my struggle with Peyronies Disease to penile injections. All of this could have been spared by an implant 15 years ago, and it could have ended the hassle, the cost and restored spontaneous youthful sex over a decade earlier. Waiting for this “last resort” cost me untold hours dedicated to traction and VED use. Even though I have been pretty successful in working with a loving wife to maintain intimacy, I feel it could have been far better. Maybe worst of all, it cost me penis size because each setback with Peyronies Disease and every year with erectile dysfunction cost me. Fortunately, I started far above average, so I will end up at least average, but it is a cost I don't take lightly.

Just a few reasons I would pick an implant even if other methods gave me a usable erection
1. The only Erectile Dysfunction solution that gives spontaneous sex
2. No ongoing cost and prescription hassles of oral and injectable medications
3. No issues transporting devices or medication when traveling (refrigeration needed for most injectables)
4. No side-effects of medications (low blood pressure, stuffy nose, vision issues, backache) or devices (trauma to the penis, limited time erect, cold glans)
5. provides a larger flaccid hang
6. Straightens all deformity and prevents future size loss

Don’t just buy the line that an implant is the last resort. It discounts serious answers to serious questions that many men should be asking.

In my case yeah maybe i'll get better but this is the 4th or 5th time I have injured the same spot of my dick. IT IS TOTALLY MY FAULT If I go through a breakup or fall into a depression it triggers this weird porn obsession and I end up jerking off on stimulants (which make erections poor) for hours sometimes days at a time and the plaque is about midshaft right where I'd been rubbing my soft dick.
