Had my AMS for 3 years and other than cycling, used once. After returning to sex after several years of no sex, my wife decided she enjoyed no sex more. When the AMS failed I was revised with Titan 3 years ago, and other than cycling, this implant has not been used. :(

It means what it was intended for lol.
My wife really likes it, but very seldom wants it in more than 5 minutes.
I was fortunate to marry a woman with a sex drive slightly lower than mine.

Married 64 years 10 days ago.
