I'm about to say something dumb....

....Also for the men pondering implantation. ED DOESN'T JUST AFFECT YOU !!! IT ALSO TAKES A TOLL ON YOUR WIFE/ GIRLFRIEND ! It fucks with her head too . Why can't he get it up ? Does he still love me ? Does he still think I'm attractive? Is he cheating on me ? They may blame themselves and become withdrawn . Humiliated by you not being able to perform thinking its their fault somehow. My wife and I weren't able to have any meaningful sex for a long time. We just cut it out of our lives. Work, eat, sleep, repeat was the routine. No reason to look forward to the weekend other than a couple days off. Woman will atrophy too if not having sex . Our 1st sex session, post implant, was a short one . Even with lube it hurt her to much ( wasn't use to that big , rock hard dick anymore- tee hee , wink ) but she was willing to try . Baby steps . Each time it has been a little better even though we're not swinging off the ceiling yet , there's 2 people committed to the recovery. I know how we were so I know where we'll be . Can't wait ! I'm on a journey man .

Just thinking about my last post and wanted to post a warning to my brothers. If you suffered with ED for a long time and HAVEN'T had sex with your wife / girlfriend for awhile, and then you get implanted and are able to just drive that bionic monster home .... If you don't find a shoebox under the bed jam packed with dildos and vibrators - YOU MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS!!! LOL . Food for thought.

Oh... and spontaneous sex is reality again . No scheduling sex or waiting on pills or shots to achieve an erection. Just yesterday, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the wife and I were enjoying some cocktails on the deck . Well after a couple drinks she had to go to the bathroom. I went inside to fix up the drinks .When she returned , she was in some sexy outfit and told me " chop - chop , let's go , crank that thing up ." I was totally caught off guard by her demands but was willing ( and able ) to comply . IT WAS AWESOME ! Can't remember the last time we had sex and the sun was still shining. " Afternoon delight " she called it . Amazing

That’s awesome Journeyman, so good to hear great stories like yours! I’m at 18 months out and it just keeps getting better and better.
Your Afternoon delight story got blood rushing to my Glans and a semi boner without even pumping up. It’s still good to have some function.

Keep the great stories cuming, pun intended lol, so that we can get excited and ask our Ladies for that unexpected delight.

I'm hoping to have another this Father's day weekend. Yesterday ( when we were drinking on the deck ) she had mentioned maybe going somewhere for an " overnight ." Translation - rent a hotel room ,find a place to eat , drink , and have fun . Then go back to room and fuck the night away . I think she's just as excited about the implant as I am !

Holy Cow release the hounds woof woof definite update after your next one

Hahaha this cracked me up

I’m so glad to hear about your results Journeyman. Your story plus all of the success posts I read on this forum have really given me the courage to pursue getting an implant. I can’t wait to put the stress of ED out of my daily mind!

You won't regret it . Its like having a " New " birthday. A bionic birthday if you will . Most importantly , get a HIGH volume surgeon! Theyve seen it all and know how to deal with any problems. They'll get you the best results. The Doctors most often being referenced are ( in no particular order ) Eid, Clavell, Hakky , Cordone and Perito. I'm sure there are other top notch surgeons out there. Do your research and good luck

Agreed.

The surgeon makes all the difference.
Research carefully.

Good judgement is essential for a good outcome.  

Good judgement comes from learning from the mistakes made by bad judgement.

Experience is essential for a surgeon to have good judgement.  Most of the best surgeons got that way under the guidance of mentors (who, hopefully corrected the mistakes made by their proteges before closing up the patient).

Here's a lesson i've learnt in recent times as i've been forced into a temporary early retirement with illness at 44 y/o. Up until a few years ago my erections were rock solid, lasted for as long as i wanted and i had a very short refractory period. Id never even considered impotence as a possible life outcome. When it hit, i basically went from 100% - 0% overnight due to spinal nerve damage. I can see how gradual loss would be equally as distressing but man when its that quick, the mental decline was nothing short of severe.
I was never a big drinker (though when i did, lock up the bar!) but i turned very quickly to it during lockdown. High alcohol tolerance doesnt bode well for the wallet, mental health, or relationships. Once lock downs finished i started going to the local pub, something i never did.

What overwhelmed me very quickly was how many men were there doing the same thing. Drowning their sorrows, gambling, smoking like chimneys...real depressing shit. After talking to as many people i could the one resounding story was the relationship breakdowns they had with their gf/ wives. Didn't matter whether they were young or old, the story was the same. All of a sudden id gone from strong, fit, healthy, great sex life, great relationship with my wife to extremely depressed, overweight, sexless drunk. All i could think about when i looked around was whether through bad health, cancer, smoking or other illnesses, that these men were also experiencing some form of impotency. I learnt very fast that most blokes cringe whenever you talk about it (which is senseless toxic masculinity).

I never gave it a second thought until it happened to me. Unfortunately i can easily be driven down rabbit holes and i spent way too long on different parts of the internet looking for answers and what i found was reflected in what i was seeing. Impotency can literally drain the life out of men, and their partners. It can even lead to abuse and unfortunately self harm/ suicide.

Its absolutely astonishing when you think about it. Some malfunctioning nerves, or blood vessels can cause so much mental and physical grief. At 38 I lost my Rectum to Cancer. 1 year later i nearly died from a strangulated bowel. 18 months later my Spinal cord was crushed. Not trying to bring things down with a pity party but all that pain had absolutely nothing on becoming impotent.....not even close. To lose the ability to physically connect with my partner was THE worst pain i've ever experienced in my life so far. There will be those that will say that's a selfish way of viewing things...maybe. But sometimes you cant argue with 1000's of years of male evolution. Yes we can function without erections (and many men do), but at least for me it made me very depressed and emasculated.

The point i'm making is this. You can nit pick at all the failings an implant might have. All the pain we go through to get it done, the months of cycling, the indignity of the whole process let alone the stigma that one might place upon having one.
I believe that Implants can literally change and sometimes save a Mans life. And further to that, save relationships, careers, and have a positive impact on both mental and physical health.

Here's the part that the healthcare system i believe hasn't fully picked up on. Sexual health midas well be one of the most critical aspects of male health care. Penis health and Impotency treatment education should be mandatory throughout a mans life. Too many good men end up going down very dark paths as a result of this not being the case.

Sorry about the wall of text and i didn't mean to highjack it somewhat. I guess the happiness conveyed through this post really hit a raw nerve and i'm glad implants are being celebrated. Like many others on here it has taken me a long time to get used to having one, and while its not perfect, it literally saved my life.

I'm glad you're still with us Brother

Good post WatNext!
I am glad for all of you who are enjoying their new tools.

[Journeyman]

Thanks for sharing your story Watnext . It's critical that other men see that they're not alone . That there's hope . That impotency can be surgically reversed with amazing results. I know that when I discovered this site ( on the afternoon AFTER my surgery).My appetite was ravenous for more information. I was comforted that I had made the correct decisions . I was reading and searching this site for approximately 2 weeks before I got the courage to join . I know other men are doing the same thing . So everyone's stories and contributions my be saving someone's life . Sharing our experiences are critical and I thank everyone that's participated on this post .
