New here: my implant consideration

[Bubba54]

C_Lab, Welcome to the site. I would be cautious of the injections. I know they have worked fine for some for many years, but in my case caused peyronies. I had already lost size from prostate surgery and then more from the peyronies.
Good Luck

C_Lab wel come abroad man !
I am a bit new here same as you, and i'm also young of 30 years of age.
I can say that i have a very similar story.
Well, injections didn't work for me but you can just try.
As for getting the implant or not, just consider the advantages, boy it's a new life.
and even though we are young.... well i prefer to have 20 years of rock hard sex than maybe 50-60 years sex free life.
It's your call now. and one more thing i want to tell you about this forum. These guys here are heroes !!!
Cheers

I want to thank everyone for responding and offering their input. It is greatly appreciated. I will probably be private messaging a few of you for more details and information on life with the implant.

Hey clab,

I am around your age(25) and reading through your post a lot of the stuff that I had gone through echoed as I read on. This is my 3rd or 4th post for this forum today, so I will be tired and won't write everything, in fact I can't write everything, but if you are interested in reading about my case as things went through step by step all the way from contemplating the implant, waiting for it while thinking about it, what was going on in my life all the while, the background etc I will pm you a link or just post it here later, and you can go through my posts on that forum, they can act as sort of a diary for my entire progress.

Anyways, I have never really had problems with anything else in life either, I am into fitness as both a professional and I love it as my hobby. This helps the woman find me a lot more attractive than the relative population. To add to that I love to read and write, and I am also an extrovert. So I can not only look the part, but I can also walk up to women, and engage them in conversation and make it as deep as it requires. I do not say this to brag but to leeway into my point that I could do everything the best could, only probably better than them. EXCEPT. Something as simple as getting a hard on and using it to reproduce(or at least the act of it).

I randomly just stopped getting erections after being with a certain partner. In fact it was like, I had an erection with her, as strong as ever. And then I lost it and it never came back again. I found out about (took me 2 years of a wasteful endless grind chasing stupid shit like psychogenic ed, testosterone levels, dietary habits, iron levels etc etc.).

Anyways in the midst of it all I was with this girl for a really long time, and she got really attached to me. She never demanded anything of me nor complained though it is so clear I could not provide the sexual satisfaction that any woman requires and needs. We both knew of our issue, and obviously I was working all the while on my next step, but in say about our 12-13th time being intimate together (in an almost 2 year long relationship, because I would keep avoiding sexual intimacy) , I failed as per usual. But this time it was something different. I had like this sudden feeling of disgust or hatred wash over me for a second or two and I just had this urge to walk over to the kitchen get a knife out and slash my wrists. I have never mentioned this before, and I know myself, I would never have done anything so stupid either, but I wanted to emphasize on this sudden fleeting feeling I had just that once that really scared me. I never thought I could feel or think like that. I only touch upon this because you mentioned a similar feeling. Let's be honest, a stiff dick doesn't mean life or death, and quite frankly if that's the only reason you are willing to take your life, you have some issues. For me it was about knowing that I had an option that I wanted, the implant, but the dates for the implant kept on getting postponed and further and further away rather than it being treated like an emergency surgery which it was in my particular case. Bear in mind I had realized about my ED for two years, went for a non implant trial surgery, and then given a full year for recovery without uttering a single word, but was still getting postponed after all the time I put in.
I had been angry and had certain crazy aggressive outbursts when discussing the implants with my family in the last 3-6 months because quite frankly I had heard of some retardedly stupid recommendations and the like even after they knew about my suffering for 2+ years.

In any case I won't be going into much further personal details.
I didn't want to take a chance with the injections for a multitude of reasons, I am convinced against them, in fact something funny is that when I had my first ever injection test over 2 years ago, the doc said "Oh there's nothing wrong look right here!" All that had happened was that I filled up with blood and looked like a water baloon, no stiffness no nothing. The second time was with Dr. Eid, this time I had even lesser of an erection that I just normally or generally do by myself or with a partner.

I decided on the implant, went through, had a succesful one, at least by my experiences until now. Go through my posts on this forum and you will see both a post surgery update and another 'success story' that I had just yesterday. That should take away from dark mood with that monster of a paragraph on top :p

Personally, and I have mentioned my thoughts in detail on another forum, the one I could link you to if you like, I do not understand the 'last resort' mentality of things. I'm not saying don't even try Viagra or Cialis, but make it quick, check the results as quick as you can, and decide and move on to the next step. Don't get lost about the evaluation process, if you think the implant is the next step and you need it, don't worry about other people thinking it's their last resort. You know what you need for yourself, just go through with it.
My life 5 months post surgery and 6 months prior to surgery seem worlds apart.

Stay strong my friend.
