How much do you think about your implant daily?

[LM-N-TX]

I had my surgery just over 3 weeks ago and I can tell you it's on my mind a lot during the day. I guess because it's a new thing. But I'm sure the thoughts about it will fad as time goes on.

I can tell you when I had ED I thought about it everyday and most all of the day.

I think this is actually a very good subject for a new thread.

We are all here for the same thing. Our dicks. Our experiences with ED, researching the information here on Franktalk, discussing everything from our concerns, to our recovery, and to hopefully our eventual success with the implant.

As a guy, like most guys, my thoughts have never really been too far away from my dick. But you guys know what I mean, do, usual thoughts about libido, having sex, for most of our lives when we thought about our dicks, it was enjoyable.

ED introduced the combination of our dicks and suffering.

So yes, I have never thought more about my own dick as I have in the last year. The ED, the implant, and the recovery. It is been on my mind every day, almost constantly.

But the good news is that three months postop, I find myself thinking about it less and less during the day. I am aware of it when I pee. I have something much more prominent to hold now when I stand at the urinal, which is nice. When it is flaccid and I touch it I can feel the cylinders underneath, which takes some getting used to. And I am.

But when deflated and just walking around now, I find myself thinking about it less and less. I consider this a very good thing.

Specifically, I realize there’s nothing at all now to worry about. By now I’ve been through the pre-implant, soul-searching, the surgery, the recovery, and I’m actively having sex again.

It does not yet feel totally like a natural part of me, all the cycling serves as a reminder that I do have the implant, but I am very optimistic that as time unfolds , I will be able to barely think about it during the day, and live once again, a normal life.

Actually, I’m already I’m thinking less about having a “normal” life, and once again having a great life.

I think about it while cycling, slowly been going back to old non-supporting underwear and sometimes it stretches enough to be a tad sore and I'll think about it. Its a bit weird going from a grower to shower.

Never do I think of it in the way you describe. Seems like you view it as a weakness. All I know is my erections before implant were significantly worse and always required medications. Implant is way better. I also exercise it many times a day but still don't think of it like that.

24 hours - because it creates such a lot of fun

Almost never do I think about the implant. I'm four months out of surgery and maybe once in a while, some movement may remind me about the implant, but it is a very light feel. To compare, it's almost about the same amount of time as I would think about my testicles pre operation. Once, in a while something you do (Movement, pants, whatever) makes you feel the implant or testicles. But I go through most of my day without thinking about it...until I want to think about the implant, meaning either for cycling or using the implant

I never think about my implant in the negative ways you describe. It doesn't hurt. I don't feel it walking, sitting, shitting or anything.

I do think about it several times a day in a neutral or positive way. When I'm getting dressed in the morning, I'll check whether it's fully deflated. (Sometimes after sex or masturbating, the night before, I'll partially deflate it, but when out and about I want it fully deflated.) Sometimes I'll also check and maybe deflate it more fully after using the bathroom.

For sex I absolutely think about it, and it's positive. If I'm in a situation where sex is likely, I'll partially inflate it. (Or even if I just want an extra hint of a visible bulge. My current partner likes that.) Before/during sex I'll think about how hard I want to be. Hard as a rock? Slightly softer? Basically, I'd say it has become part of my body, so I think about it kind of like I think about other parts of my body.

I think about it a lot but that's because I've had chronic pain since the implant. It went really bad but I am very much in the minority. This goes very well for most people. You do need a high volume doctor who's had a lot of good results. I used Dr Matthew Pollard in Nashville.

I don’t dwell on it and think about it negatively it all. But the fact that it’s there crosses my mind multiple times daily.

Every time I have to take a piss, for one. When I get dressed or undressed also. Even though it’s a LGX and enlarges when pumped up, my implanted flaccid is quite a bit larger than my original equipment flaccid. So I usually think stuff like “damn, if I’d had this in high school, I would have gotten quite a bit of word-of-mouth advertising from the shower room.”

The main thought I have is that I never have to worry about failing to get or maintain an erection when I need one.

I fought the good fight against ED for so long that having an implant makes life feel more natural and less complicated. If I’m aroused, I still have glans engorgement so that’s a cue just to pump up even if I’m not in a sex situation.

I've had mine for 7.5 years now.
Do I think about it? No. Only when I use it. Otherwise, no.
OF course, when I take a piss I will get reminded that it's there. I can feel the cylinders.
But I don't care, it's just the way my dick feels.
And if you mean whether I am bothered by it in daily life, answer is no. Never. I don't even notice I have it.

Well, an add-on would maybe be that every time I see a sexy woman, I get reminded of it. In the way that "yes, I could actually fuck her". In the past, I would get reminded of my ED crap dick instead, thinking "Well, she looks great. But so what. I couldn't fuck her because of my crap dick."
