To what o'clock position is your erect penis pointing?

[strongagain]

I wonder whether the position has something to do with the length of RTE. My penis is pointing at 3 o'clock or a tad below 3 o'clock - RTE 3 cm.

Merrix' penis is pointing at 2 o'clock and I'm envious... He has no RTE.

Well StrongÁgain, as it is now, I would be more than happy to take an hour off both my erection and my flaccid and have a 3 o'clock erection and a 5 o'clock flaccid, instead of a 2 o'clock erection and a 4 o'clock flaccid. Or maybe rather 3:30 actually...

As of why it points that high:
First of all, I wonder how long it will. The first few inflations it was rather 1:30. Now it's already 2 o'clock. Which is good. How the hell to you have sex with a baseball bat pointing right up to your face? Sitting with the woman on top, yes. Standing up from behind, yes. But not much more...

But as for the reasons, Eid said:
- My internal part of the penis (crus I think it's called) was long compared to my penis and it had a good angle.
- He used what he thinks is the superior setup for a super rigid erection without wobbling vertically or horizontally. That is a Titan with aggresive sizing and no RTEs. He seems very assured that RTEs are a bad thing. On the other hand, I am sure there are other high quality surgeons who are of another opinion, so I'm not saying what's right or wrong here, just referring to what Eid told me.
But he says that the optimal implant would be 100% inflatable. I.e. have no fixed part in the back, which all of them have today. That would better imitate a natural erection, since the cavernosa fills with blood in the penis as well as way back in the crus. Technically, it would avoid the negative effect that fixed part has over time. Since it always stay at the same diameter, it continuously stretches the internal part of the cavernosa in the crus. Over time the crus' cavernosa will expand, the implant will not have the tight fit, and it will start to wobble.
Adding RTEs further decreases the inflatable proportion of the implant and works in the opposite direction of what the perfect implant would look like. It adds length to the constant diameter part, the part that expands the internal part of the cavernosa, and hence increases the chances of wobbling over time.
Again, this is Eid's theory. He is a knowledgeable guy, but not necessarily right all the time anyway.

One practical reason why many surgeons use RTEs is that even if they measure carefully, they can find that after implant is inserted it is still too small and a larger size would have been preferrable. Then the easiest and cheapest way to fix it is to add RTEs. In my case, Eid inserted 22 cm first, found it to be too short, took it out, scrapped it (!) and inserted the 24 cm instead. I think he gets away with this without paying for the scrapped implant because of his volume and relations with Coloplast.
I doubt a local surgeon doing three implants per year gets away with scrapping an implant and have Coloplast not charging for it.

Hey StrongAgain, I was baffled by my change after surgery as well. Looking down while standing I always pointed straight out when hard, now I'm pointing in the two O'clock position !

Two o'clock would remind me of my 20's. I'd take it in a heartbeat! d

[David_R]

Mine is at 3:00 when inflated. (I think the diagrams that show an inflated penis with an implant pointing up at 2:00 are not quite accurate.)

I look at things from a mechanical point. the center top side of the penis has a central ligament and the attachment point to the pelvis is also at the top. The cavernosa is on each side of that put also toward the bottom side below that ligament,more so toward where it goes in the perineum. If it is longer on the bottom than the top it will have an upward bend. Bottom longer than top cannot be parallel and even if the ends are a fixed and equal length. It has to bow. Hope this makes sense. d

Well David, I'm the exception in that case.
It surely points at around 2.
This is not an exact science, but it is somewhere between horizontal and 45 degrees up from horizontal. Right in between those two would be 2:15, and maybe that's where it is then.
Again, hard to say exactly, but definitely noticeable higher than 3 o'clock.

[moetheman]

Mine is between 3 and 4.

[john74]

Mine is at three o'clock when inflated, and hangs at five thirty when deflated. It would hang lower than that, but its resting on the front of the scrotum. Hope this helps.

Three o'clock.
