IMPLANT JOURNEY of 27 & 78 Yr Old: Same day Surgery 9/20/2022

[Howling8]

Thanks to both of you for sharing your journey. I had problems relaxing the first couple months and wasn't getting any real engorgement with my wife. After a few months, I use 20mg Cialis and sometimes a Xialla cock ring (not necessary but really engorges the glans). Still can't orgasm during sex unless I get myself to the trigger point. I'm working on it by refraining from masturbating and internet porn. Last night with the wife was great. It felt great, I didn't come but I was close and so I'm hopeful. I also have retrograde ejaculation due to surgery on my abdomen.

2.) second concern was that my head/glans are slightly softer and floppy during sex.

- Prescribed me a cialis pill 5mg daily which will help bring more blood flow to the glans and also even help with any sensitivity and feeling I may have lost. I don’t feel I lost any, but it definitely did help my glans during sex.

Hey Minnesota#2,

How are the floppy glans doing? Also what effects do you notice as a result of them? Do you feel like your implant tips are not centered, and do they poke or cause any pain/discomfort during sex?

Was any other option other than Cialis discussed as a treatment for the floppy glans?

I've dealing with some glans hypermobility/floppy glans, although perhaps more extreme then what you're experiencing, and it can definitely cause pain/discomfort during sex. Cialis/Viagra does make things better, but it's still really not ideal and not something I was anticipating after Implant surgery. I'm just wondering if there are any other options out there other than just taking oral meds, but it might be all we've got right now.

Thanks,
CB

Greetings CB,

1st Question: My floppy glans are much better now that I take my small dose of Cialis (5mg daily). I seem to think it is pointless to take daily unless you are having sex frequently or unexpectedly. For myself, if I am working a lot and know sex won’t happen, I will skip a few doses here and there for the convenience of not going through my prescription so fast. Honestly with the Cialis, I’ve seen a 50% improvement in my glans. To the point where more flood fills into the glans, but not like it used to prior to my ED days. I also have more feeling with the Cialis, even though the lack of sensation was never an issue. It just seems to feel slightly even more better than before taking Cialis.

2nd Question: I do feel my tips are centered. This was a concern for me at first when my implant was put in. As time has went on, I don’t think about the tips at all, being inflated or deflated.

I want to say there are other options available by some surgeons. I can’t say what exactly is out there, but just from scanning youtube videos, one of the big time surgeons discussed floppy head… Maybe Perito.. Perhaps do some research and discuss this with your surgeon and maybe there’s something more to get the results you want

Hi there, Howling8

Of course, I feel bad for not being on here more. Life has now continued to move on after my surgery, but better than ever so I am on here less. However, I will never ever leave for good.. I will continue to check in.

I also notice if I am not relaxed or aroused, my head engorgement isn’t there, which makes complete sense. If you have a normal functioning penis and are horny, blood blows to the penis and glans.. If not, you have boner problems, which is why so many have issues getting it up when not relaxed..

Bummer to hear about you having trouble with EJ but on another note, I am glad things are working besides that and you and your wife are enjoying it! I haven’t had the ejaculation issue so I can’t offer advice.. Other than maybe trying some different creams for increasing sensitivity possibly?

happy for you minnesota how are you doing with casual hookups...you always manage to hide your implant or some girl has noticed something is different down there

[Howling8]

I’m happy to report that all systems are go. All of a sudden I’m having could retrograde orgasms that fell almost 100%. I’m actually came with my wife and didn’t have delayed orgasm. Fingers crossed that I’ve turned a corner. The kinked tubing sticking out is a bummer but I’m learning to live with it. Don’t want to risk an infection from a fix or revision unless I absolutely need to.

Excellent thread about everyone's experience. It took me a day and a half to read because I didn't want to miss a word.

I'm on my journey also and hope to have my implant around early March. I had to delay my surgery because of family coming to visit. But I've been using the VED pump for a month a seems like I've gained some size so I should have 3 months of using it everyday for 5-15 minutes. We'll see what happens.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and giving me the encouragement to take this big step forward.

Thanks Frank,

Hookups have worked and went very well. Nobody has noticed anything. I have yet to guide a girl to giving me a BJ, so unsure if they could tell. Highly unlikely unless you arent pumped up past a certain point.

Booyah! Congrats man.. Happy to hear the positive news.

Happy to help, my friend. The implant has been wonderful, and I feel confident it will be for you as well.

4 MONTH UPDATE

17 weeks since my implant on 9/20/2022. Since then, everything has progressed so quickly. I’ve had sex with around 6 women since being implanted and not one has said or noticed anything. I say this because I get this question a lot, and I asked the same question before my implant as well. If you want to be discreet about it, just pump it before or ¾ and then sneak in some more as things progress. However, if you are in a relationship with some, I highly advise you to just be honest, as there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I am proud of how well I perform and how things work since being implanted. In my opinion, the entire world doesn’t need to know, but if you are with someone, just be honest.


Pros of the implant

- All confidence is back in the bedroom and with my abilities to perform.
- Confidence has increased significantly outside of the bedroom as well. Socially, professionally, etc.
- I am much happier with life overall. I have been told I am very fun and energetic to be around.
- Very high libido, when before it was non-existent.
- No more anxiety when it relates to sex or simply just freaking out about the thought of being intimate with a woman.
- Simply just feeling like me again.
- Shower and not just a grower


Cons of the implant

- The flaccid state isn’t like it used to be. Obviously with the tubing, things are more rigid. My penis now hangs down normally, but it hangs slightly to the left (which it did prior to implant) and the top right of the base of my penis right where the shaft begins shows a slight dog ear, which I am probably the only one who notices. When showering with guys at work or the hockey rink, I feel slightly off thinking they might think I have a chub, but I now believe I was overthinking that. The constant pushing my penis to the left from my work pants that are tighter has caused it to really hang to the left on its own now. I was concerned this would possibly cause wear and tear on the one side of the cylinder as I have said in previous updates, but my doctors told me that it wouldn’t cause any.

- my head/glans are slightly softer and floppy during sex, however, this was significantly improved with a small dose prescription of cialis pill 5mg daily. This has helped bring more blood flow to the glans and also even help with sensitivity, even though it felt great prior to cialis.

- Tighter pants in the crotch area aren’t as giving anymore because of the stiffer flaccid state.

- Having to get more revisions in the future, which I will happily do, even with how tough my first 3 weeks of recovery were.


As you can see, the cons are very minimal, and I am overall pleased and thankful for this implant. I think it is the best thing I have done in life thus far. As far as having the greatest impact on my life overall, I would say it is.



Best,

MN#2
