Implant + TEP procedure Journal - 34yr old Australian

[JWBinDC]

Mine leaned towards the left and it hurt when I would move it to the right. I more or less left that way but as time went on, it became less painful and started to move over towards the right on its own. Now it is straight and doesn’t lean. I attribute this to somewhat aggressive cycling. It’s been 4 months since I had my implant.

Thanks for this, very reassuring.

An updated I have had which is causing some concern, as you can see here this strip of skin (I am struggling to find informatino on this. this strip of skin was intact on the groove which I believe was stitched as shown. It has now ripped off, is this normal? Is this th frenulum?

I am very concerned as this is quite painful.

I can't get a hold of my doctor and the nurse is not responding. AFter care here post surgery is pretty bad, anyone with any advice please help.

Update Day 22:

I had my appointment yesterday with the nurse, unfortunately I am still too swollen to be deflated a bit. The plan was to deflate me slightly for comfort so I could get on a plane back to my own state. The nurse could not even feel the default valve in my scrotum.

I was told by my GP that sometimes swelling does not go down for 4-6 weeks. This has been taking a toll on my mental health, I am stuck in a hotel room interstate, swollen, in pain.

Not much else to update, just a heads up for some people who travel interstate and have the TEP/Implant procedure done, to be prepare for complicated circumstances.

I have been thinking a lot about other things, the circumcision, the state of modern dating, and the expectations modern women have of men, and the lack of support for men's mental health. I really want to write more about this, too tired today from pain killers, will continue tomorrow.

Am really concerned about the lack of peyronies information/surgeons in Australia. Would love to get a group of guys together more interested in creating a group for support for us.

To anyone reading this, just know that I appreciate your support and really look forward to any messages.

Thanks Hilly, I have read that post before, it does seem like this get better. TEP just delays recovery a bit. I wish that user was still around to let me know how his results turned out, would be very interesting!

Update day 24

Still swollen, in a hotel room. Thinking of waiting until the 14th when my surgeon is back, booking in with him, seeing if he can deflate me and then getting on a plane back to my state.

Very curious about beginning cycling, with TEP, you usually stay inflated for 4-6 weeks before beginning cycling. I'm almost at 4 weeks.

I have mixed feelings, on one hand I am nervous, on the other hand I am excited to put this journey past me. I really wish there was some more journals with TEP. I know user Tortao did a TEP procedure journal, he regained all his peyronies length back, he never came back to report any further details.

I've read so many mixed reviews on circumsision too, some claim they preferred sex with their foreskin, some say sex is more sensitive without foreskin, some say makes no difference.

Time will tell.

Appreciate all you guys messages and support.

I'm not here to judge or question your decision to get a circumcision w/your implant but I can tell you there are many men, who were circ'd at birth, like me, who resented it and have taken measures to try to "correct" it.

In my case, I spent YEARS attempting, with limited success, to restore my foreskin by "tugging" on it w/weighted &/or elastic devices to promote additional skin/tissue growth.

I was never able to regain full coverage but I was able to gain partial coverage which restored the "rolling" feeling that made f*ucking , when I had a f*ck partner, feel much more erotic to me.

The sensitivity in my glans never changed much because I never achieved full coverage, even though as a grow-er, I was able to "turtle" the head of the glans into my body where it was fully enclosed.

Can't do that anymore post op w/the chubby show-er that I got now & all the gear associated w/it but the extra skin is still there which still makes masturbating feel like it did pre op. I expect the same to apply when I find another f*ck partner post op.

As someone who was "intact" at birth and who got circ'd as an adult, it will be interesting to hear (if you care to share) your experience and feelings about it after you begin masturbating & f*cking again.

No problem at all man, and I appreciate your insight. I’ve heard mixed feedback, some men say makes no diff, some say they miss the foreskin rolling bad and the head becomes less sensitive, some say circumsised is better because you feel more inside the vagina. Unfortunately I can’t change it now. Will def keep updating in the future to let you know.

Very open to any other opinions from people who have had adult circumsision and how they found sex pre/post. Obviously handjobs would start to require lube, and Masturbation as well. Curious on more opinions.

At this point, I’m just trying to appreciate and love my new circumsized penis.

Update day 25:

While I am still swollen in the hotel room, hitting day 25, I've been thinking a lot. I'd like to talk about some of the depression which peyronies has caused me, as well as modern dating.

Modern Dating for woman
With the advent of social media, women are really spoilt for choice. The average woman who's probably a 6/10, with makeup and a few provocative pics on Instagram (transforming herself into an 8) will most likely have at least 20/30 messages a week from guys wanting to take her out. You can guarantee at least 5 of those are men in the top 10% of the wealth pyramid. I am not saying women are shallow and gold diggers, just that they are naturally hypergamous, and they crave security, protection and a provider, and will most likely prefer to date wealthier men of high status. As you take her out on a date, she's probably got 10 others lined up with guys richer. With this in mind, some younger women can have a low tolerance for erectyle dysfunction (wait till the end before making judgements). Why would she want to deal with average joe earning 60k a year with depression from peyronies who can't keep it up when she could date Tim from Accounting earning 150k a year spoiling her with holidays n fancy gifts, giving her amazing sex in extravagant positions twisting her into a pretzel hitting her G/A/K and whatever other spots there are every night. Unfortunately, a majority of women will only love you on the condition that you can provide financially, give safety, emotional security. It's hardwired into their genetics. In the stone ages when we were hunter gatherers, if a woman did not pair bond with a competent man who could provide resources (shelter, food etc), she would die. So, you can see how women will naturally filter out mem to pair bond with the wealthy, competent, confident. Of course there are always anomalies and exceptions.

Modern Dating for men
Well, we are competing with a huge pool of guys. Go on tinder and you may be lucky to get matches. If you're just an average guy earning 60k a year, average looking with a belly, the woman you're interested in, has probably got dates set up with guys earning 100k+, with fit bodies, etc etc.

Of course this isn't to say that women are shallow. The most important aspect of a relationship is trust, love, emotional connection. Just that dating has changed. 50/60 years ago, a man would court a woman who's only options would be the men in her town that were not related to her and of a similar age group. Any man could provide a decent living for her as the cost of living back then was so low, further, most women were dependent on men. Women were not spoilt for choice, it was rather, the other way around. Contrasting from my points above, when you have been with a woman for 40 years who hasn't had much experience with other males, and you're now 60/70, or dating women over 40 who are used to men in their 50s with ED, they are much more understanding and tolerant of ED.

Divorce is also currently at an all time high, and in the USA 70% of divorces are initiated by females (google it).

So, I have tried to put into place how dating and peyronies can be different for people in their 20/30s to people n their 60/70s.

Now I want to get to why I am writing all this.

The last 4 years of peyronies for me:

During the last four years of peyronies I was severely depressed. I had anxiety and PTSD previously, and when peyronies hit I also suffered severe depression. I was on and off medications but most anti-depressants cause ED and I didn't want the lack of erections/nocturnal erections to have a detrimental effect on my peyronies. My life took a real hit. I was always a gym junkie and thankfully this is the one area of my life I always kept up. Unfortunately after this surgery I am slowly losing my body, but I will much easily gain it back. I was also in uni studying two degrees. I finished them just late last year. That makes me a 34 year old just starting out his career still living with his parents.

Now with the above information in mind, you can imagine, being 34, without my own home, starting a graduate career, dating is going to be rather difficult. It would have been even more difficult with ED. Now, I can wait 6 years and build my career up, feel more comfortable where I can provide better financial security for a wife and chlildren etc, but that puts me at 40 years.

I actually should have finished my degrees and started my career 4 years ago but the severe depression from peyronies and other aspects caused a huge hindrance in my life.

The positives:
My plan is to hustle hard, with my career as well as side hustles, I have been reading vigorously, learning about finance, business etc, I have improved my mental health drastically, trying to network and make new friends. Peyronies has actually turned me into a much mentally (and psychically) stronger person. Always turn your disadvantages into advantages, negatives into positives in life. We are also looking at creating a mens health group here in Australia where we can support each other in every way.

When you take everything into consideration, you can clearly see how dating in the modern world with peyronies can really be difficult for some of us younger guys.

My point in all of this is that, as you can see, the 4 years I was depressed, I should have been excelling in all other aspects of my life, focusing on becoming in one of the top 10% males in the wealth pyramid, improving my mental health etc etc finishing my degrees instead of stretching them out for 4 years (I was almost done until peyronies hit, I kept deferring classes).

So, my message to any younger guys out there suffering from ED, worrying about what women think, worrying about peyronies is this; excel in every other aspect of your life, go to the gym, diet make your body the replica of a God. Work on your mental health, be so strong minded and happy that you radiate positivity and women are just magnetically attracted to your vibe. Work on your financial situation, business, career etc so that you never lacking anything. Make yourself one of the top 10% of males and peyronies will not even matter to you. Get that implant and overcome everything you're faced with and women will see you as a competent man who can overcome any obstacle that's thrown with him. Turn this period of peyronies, into a period of drastic self-improvement and self-development and come out a stronger, wiser, smarter, wealthier man. Even if you've lost 1-2 inches of size, you're basically in the top 10% of any other aspect of life, your confidence , aura and energy alone will be enough to have women attracted to you.

I wish that for each and every one of you.

Love to hear other peoples thoughts.
