Retrospect

[alibaba]

Once I learned such thing as an implant existed, it took me 2 more years to get my head around paying for/ going through a procedure that is irreversible. There is no going back, but what was there to go back to anyway? Frustration? Failure? I just had to get my head clear that the avenue of no return was really the only true choice, otherwise nothing would ever improve. In fact deterioration was the only direction things headed w/o intervention. Now I wish I had the benefit of an implant 2 decades ago. Even though my first one was crap and I am have some problems now, I can see the full potential of it. Once all the issues are cleared, this thing has to be no less than fabulous. Bottom line is though, it has to be done right. No room for idiot quacks with a don't give a damn attitude like the first doctor I had. This is not changing a tire, it's building a race car. Cheers

For someone 56 hours away from implant that was a great post

After my RP my urologist showed me an implant and I thought 'man, that's gotta hurt'... I waited 2.5 years to get it. 2.5 years of fucking lost. I love my implant(s)......

With my implant only being 15 days old, I have no idea what I'm in for. When the injections started failing and I was going back to my urologist for stronger and stronger mixes, I first heard the word implant. My urologist asked me if I ever considered it. Gave me a a video describing it. I said to myself, self, are you f$&@ing kidding. But after 6 months of trying rings with injections, penis pumps, and much frustration, the more and more that I read about them on here, the more and more it sounded good. but still I hesitated a little thinking that maybe things might improve, but really, at 62, the chances of that were slim to none. So it was at this point when I told my urologist, yeah, I'll talk to the surgeon who does them at the office. My urologist told me to wait to get on Medicare cause it's covered. But that's 4 1/2 years away. So I made the appointment and found out that my insurance pays for almost all of it. The nurse called me back a week later and said you are scheduled in three weeks. Whaaaa! I did not think it would happen so soon. I figured I had three weeks to back out if I wanted to, but I did not. So here I am 15 days post op. Healing good and wondering how it will be.

Ed,
It will be better than you could ever imagine. A dick that won't quit is a dream come true. Living with ED is hell. This implant is Heaven on Earth. I feel like a real man again. Not to mention, I love my bigger dick.

Donnie, do orgasms feel the same? Do you have the same sensitivity?

[Donnie1954]

Ed,
My orgasms have always been incredible, but I think they are more intense since the implant. Now I don't worry about losing an erection.I can concentrate on the job at hand and enjoy the f...... out of it!

Interesting question, about orgasms. I have no idea why, but since my implant, orgasms have been so intense that I have almost blacked out from the erotic pleasure. It's just fantastic!

ed,

1) sensitivity for me is the same (maybe slightly numb on the undersurface of my penis, but that seems to be resolving at 4 months) sensitivity was never anything I gave a thought to after the implant --- sex and blow jobs feel more awesome then before. I say BETTER than before because there are only positive feelings and sensations, and no worries about losing the erections and walking away from the encounter in shame

2) orgasm for me is better. More intense and lasts longer. Probably because my penis used to go soft almost instantly before implant, now, since it stays hard throughout the orgasm, the sensations last longer and the orgasm is more intense.

overall, the implant has made sex better for me even when I compare with my teenage years. I certainly would do it again, even after reading about some problems here on franktalk. I think if you have a specialist uro-prostehetic surgeon, then implant is an unequaled bionic option for awesome sex.

You are lucky that your urologist recommended the implant. The words of my urologist was: "implants work well, though they do have their issues."

So to summarize, in retrospect, getting the implant was 100% the right thing for me to do. Now that I am 4 months out (and have a perfect implant with no troubles), the implant was an obviously great decision. I am thankful that my local urologist told me that it offers a great solution !

One day I gonna faint from orgasm, it's way stronger than ever before. Having been very active till age 57 (2007) I know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately I waited till 2015 before I got the implant: loss of many precious years
