Andy100, I agree ! I too have been blessed in that way :) My wife made sure I knew that she supported me regardless of what I decided to do.

I didn't have ED like you have experienced, I sort of stumbled into getting an implant. I had went to my urologist for prostrate problems and filled out a doctor questionnaire and it had a lot of questions about sexual health. So, when they talk about a procedure to reduce the size of my benign enlarged prostrate they also talked to me about an implant and showed me some videos of men and their journeys through ED.
Pill were not working well anymore and I was wondering if I would still be able to satisfy my wife and me sexually. Even though pill worked for a good while, from my late 40's to my early 60's they were hit and miss.
I made the leap for the implant at 63 and it has been great. I don't have to worry about when to take a pill or what I ate before taking a pill, I just pump up and it is, go time :!:
I'm sorry that you are going through this at an early age, but we are all here to help you get through this with the journeys that we have taken before you.

I would definitely get an implant again, if it failed.

Would you have gotten the implant in your late 40s if you could go back?

Hi

Tremendous to read what your passing through.
Make you and your wife a gift and do something, I'm 6 years older than you and did it last week. Don't overthink, what makes us desperate is the lack of solution and you have some.
I don't know your surgeon but know Antonini that was formed by perito and you should have a consultation with him just to have the choice and then you follow your instinct. Dont think at the 5h of travel that separates you from your home. Some people take a plane days after surgery.
What you should know is that the first 2-3days you may not travel as you could have a drain and a catheter.

Don't give up. in a year from now you could be a totally other person.

Would you have gotten the implant in your late 40s if you could go back?


Man :!: that's a good question. I had just started having ED problems in my mid 40's and viagra was new in the health care system. I'm thankful that I was active duty military, so the viagra and cialis were free. Every time I would go to the military pharmacy the pharmacy tech would call them little blue diamonds. I found out later how expensive each pill was back then.
My wife has always had a lower libido than me, so we were only having sex once a week. So because we weren't having sex many times a week it was easier to use viagra. I didn't like taking it because of the headaches, blue and blurred vision but the pills worked pretty darn good. I could get erections like in my 20's, but as I got in my late 50's and early 60's the pills didn't work as well and I had to watch what I ate, so it wouldn't cancel out the effect of the pills.
Actually in my 40's I didn't have to take the pills all the time because I could still get pretty good erections from time to time without pills.
I think, if I had bad ED, I would have been looking for something else to give me a hard dick, like the implant.
Thankfully I didn't go through all the methods that some guys on here have went through will injections and using a VED for many years.
I went straight to the implant and I'm glad I made that jump rather than using injections before getting the implant.
I know it is a big leap, but there are a lot of guys on FrankTalk that wish they had done it sooner.

I hope I helped a little,
