Those were my exact thoughts when the pills were no longer effective.....I felt like a one man band circus clown with injections, cock rings, and pills that half worked.....I wasted no time in getting an implant and it's one of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime.....I'm 67 and I go down to the Dominican Republic and fuck 22 year old girls.....2 at a time every day for each week that I travel there.....

Quite often the doctor's office will contact your insurance on your behalf, pointing out that if they cover breast reconstruction after a mastectomy for women -- which is usually covered even thought it is not required to stay alive -- then they should also cover a penile implant for men.

My Urologist office in deed contacted them as well as me, we even filed an appeal... It was denied.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you ALL for your candid, thought-out and frankly, heart-warming, reassuring replies. They've filled me with confidence.

For me this is a very difficult situation. I weep for the man with a severe venous leak, this is a true, identifiable condition and almost life-shattering. The same for a man post prostate ca. treatment or severe Peyronies. For you men though, at the very least you KNOW this is your problem. And it CAN be treated, let us thank God for that!!!

For me however, I've had several conflicting diagnoses but the specialists, after all the Ultrasounds etc say it's in my head. And I can believe that. It's funny, the night I put this post out, after I saw my girl and had zero cialis in my system, we fucked and it worked well and was good. But now she's gone to Croatia on holiday, I'm scared. I'm perpetually scared to masturbate. I rarely get morning wood, but I DO sometimes. So what does one take away from this? And how long can I wait or try to fix these mental issues??

I'm going to give this battle one last throw of the dice. I'm looking to meet someone new, someone I truly love and connect with and it makes me happy there is a treatment. Having to have revisions is scary but as time progresses, I'm sure tech, methodology and treatment strategy will also. Plus, as I understand it, a revision isn't a great ordeal. Yes there are risks. But life is full of risk.

Unless I can dramatically change my way of thinking, on a fundamental level, I do see myself ending up taking the jump in less than 3 years. I'm 33 and I want to enjoy my youth. I want to be able to go out, meet some girls; bring them home and have sex until dawn. And then, do it again. I want that option. I want to be able to meet someone and KNOW I can fulfil her. I do right now with my girl as cialis is brilliant for me. But how long will that work? And will my mindset ever improve? Who knows.

Thanks again!!!

We care about you, brother, we really do. Let's keep talking in here (and even elsewhere) till your last straw is history and you have a big smile (to match her big smile). You are not alone.

What about Manulife "Flex Care"? The commercial says coverage starts immediately so get the coverage started a few days before surgery and quit after you are all healed up. I don't know what the basic coverage plan covers but you can select what you want coverage on and they will bill you accordingly. Just be careful no to be too obvious, like selecting coverage for surgery only. :)

One very important question: Can you get hard by yourself when you're watching porn?

For the longest time yes but my anxiety over my own performance during masturbation has become so high that the internal battle will often result in a weak erection that won't last longer than a couple of seconds. Half of the time I'm horny and just forget it to an extent and stay hard at 100%. But I just failed just now. Was shit.
