How much do you think about your implant daily?

Postby España1980 » Mon Apr 10, 2023 5:49 pm

Hello friends, I have a big question for people who are implanted. My question is if you think a lot about your implant on a daily basis. Let me explain better: when they do some activity, for example walking, sitting in a chair, defecating, urinating, sleeping, being in a meeting with friends, going to the gym, dancing... I wonder if implanted people forget that they have an implant or is there something like any discomfort that is continually reminding you that you have an implant. For example, constantly feeling the pump or reservoir or discomfort in the penis or other types of things.

For me it's been slowly fading away from being always on my mind.

When you are first implanted and for a while after it is really all you think about because of the soreness, the change in your underwear, the way you pee, the way you shower how clothing fits. It just DICK DICK DICK 24/7!

But I have noticed that lately I really only think about my penis a couple times a day. In the morning and in the evening when I cycle, sometimes when I ride my Peloton, sometimes when a pair of pants fit a little tight in the crotch.

I think eventually it will get to a point in which I forget about it all together most days.

Still a regular part of my routine, cycling 2x/day, so while I'm not preoccupied w/it, I still have to think about it.

What little discomfort I had post OP is all gone but I still need to think about how to stow my post OP junk away when putting on my briefs/pants to make sure it doesn't get "caught up" in the clothing.

However, ever since I got it and felt ready to use it, I've become a sex addict and have been devoting A LOT of time online trying to find places to put it, other than just in my Fleshlight. LOL!!! :lol:

Gracias por contestar amigo. Veo que llevas poco tiempo implantado. Como estas? Has tenido alguna complocación?

Thanks for answering friend. I see you haven't been implanted for long. How are you? Have you had any complications?

thanks for answering friend. Do you feel any discomfort when sitting or urinating or walking or taking weight?

When I got my implant I thought about it quite often. However, after it immediately became clear that I was never going to use it I quickly forgot about it. I'm aware that it's there, but it has no more meaning for me than any other part of my body. Years ago I inflated it now and then, but it quit working a couple of years ago so it's all in the past.

I thought it would be very strange/unnatural forever. For sure it was for a couple months while healing.

It's been 5 months now and I don't think about it much at all. I have to remember to find time for cycling.

I'm almost 7 weeks post surgery. I don't think about my groin at all during the day, I don't feel any discomfort at all, nor does it get in my way.

I think about it when I pee, since I have to hold it and it feels different. I think about it when I put it away, since I want it facing straight down and not off to the side while my scar capsule forms.

Other than those times and my 2x a day cycling, I don't think about it at all.
