Implanted penis is impossible to get 90 degrees erection?

[jackhammerdreamz]

Bit invasive but any bionic men got pics of their successful 2:30 or 3 o'clock erections?
Digging for pics in this forum can be a chore after all especially from phone browser.

Cheers

Type .jpg in the search bar at the top and you will find LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of pictures.

Nice trick!

Thanks for the..... Tip (pun intended)

.. edited for brevity and focus...
Then i read something on FT. Was some of the best advice. During my cycling, i pulled my penis up and held it against my belly with waistband of my underwear or pajamas. I even got advice to get compression shorts, pump up to 60% or so and sleep semi hard with penis pointing up. My erection after two months practicing these methods is now higher than 3 oclock...

Hey! After reading this and harkening to my surgeon's couns3l to wear my penis pinted up for a few weeks after surgery, I tried this again.

46 days post-op and after only one night and a half day, I see definite improvement in my erection's verticality.

Thanks for posting that advice and testimonial, Bandit.

Now, if I could just get used to sleeping upside down, I could sleep in my Backswing and still be able to sleep nude.

Hey Lost
Get an inversion table. Then you can hang your landry on your erection ! But kidding aside, sharing info is how we get thru this. FT is a great resource. I am very thankful for this site and all my brothers here.

Backswing is another name (m8ht be a brand name) for inversion table.

Just so no one gets confused. I got it for a herniated disc in my spine.

Lost,
How was (is?) your experience with the inversion table? I had a L4-L5 discectomy a couple of years ago and now have a bulge (but not herniated) L3-L4. Did PT, which helped, but I just think inversion/traction would be helpful. My GP is not in favor; concerned about too much blood to the head increasing chances for a stroke. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Possibility of a stroke (or increased chance) sounds like a heck of a deterrent!
I have heard wonders about inversion tables but thankfully haven't had any spinal issues.

Just a brief second on the original topic, as always thank you for the info about taping it up or leaving it hard tucked in the waistband Bandit!!

I'll be getting implanted soon (feb 6!) and one thing I'll miss is those erections from long ago that pointed almost to 1 o'clock. Of course the implant won't be that same angle but pointing up past 3 would be great! Can't wait to have a fully functional bionic wang!

My wife gave my one as a birthday present few years ago due to having 2 disks compromised. Due to my Meniere's, I have used it just few times, but it has been very effective.

She uses it frequently, and the decompression effect does wonders for her back after doing extenuous movements. Basically, she gets out of a session pain free.

Inversion and traction are supposed to do the same thing as bed rest. Relieve pressure on disk and relieve pressure on the fascia of the spinal processes.

I had a herniated disk at L4-L5 that caused sciatica which put me in a hospital bed for a month. I did a lot of reading on disks then. But that was in the early '80s. Much may have been learned since then. So, with that as a caveat, here is a quick summary. I am on sending this as a PM because there might be others interested.

Many Medical professionals feel traction woks and many feel it does not work any better than just staying horizontal. They see it simply a way to keep their patients in bed.

The inversion table was (I understand) invented by a guy for his wife's back problems. The first one he built collapsed with her in it. Proof that women will trust their man to an unbelievable extent. We Bionicals have learned that (see the thread "Getting discovered: How to tell a woman your bionic"). But, I digress.

Bed rest seems (in the '802s) to work as well as surgery (discectomy, laminectomy, fusion) but takes a few years instead of a few weeks to get the same results. You have seen that fixing L4/L5 (particularly fusions) puts extra strain on L3/L4, so sets one up for future problems unless one is very careful with body mechanics, etc.

When I hang upside down, I can feel the extra pressure in my head (and sinuses), but since I have no (known) compromising factors in my circulatory system (aneurisms, etc) I see no danger. If your Medico knows something of some danger particular to you, there are alternatives to inversion. One technique I have used is to lay my torso on a table and let my hops and legs hang freely. This have produced similar relief of tension in my back and the sciatic that still troubles me occasionally - but not to the point of accepting the risks of surgery. The trick is to find a table just the right height. Your back muscles must be TOTALLY relaxed. Thew advantage over the inversion table is that there is virtually no cost. The drawback is that your spine is not in the "neutral" perfectly straight posture. With either method, you can "ease" into the gravity-provided traction. With the table, you just put your feet back on the floor. With the inversion table, you just rotate slowly into the inverted position and if you feel uncomfortable, rotate back. Inverstion is not an all-or nothing proposition. YOu can vary the angle if the table is "set up" right for your body's dimensions.

I hope this helps.

First recommendation, which I saved for last. Talk to your Medico and ask how (s)he formed his/her opinion on the efficacy (or uselessness) of inversion/traction and the dangers for your particular situation.

Good Luck

As usual, an excellent informative post!

Happy New Year Guys!! Bandit, I, too, have erection
At 4:00. I’ve been implanted approx 1 or 2 weeks
Before you. I’ve started on your method of changing
Angle of erection by point up with compression shorts
While sleeping. How long was it before you started
to see a difference. You said after 2 months you’re a
3:00 or 2:30 which is great. I’m hoping to have
Same results as you. Any additional pointers you may
have since your last post? I’m only about a 1 1/2 weeks
into trying to make this change
