How long until you "settled" on an implant?

[Genesis]

Of all the different treatments, I hated the vacuum pump the most. If you are with a partner it is a huge inconvenience and turn-off. In my case the pump did not easily make my dick hard and the constriction bands used to hold the blood in your shaft were extremely irritating. I was barely hard enough to penetrate and it went limp after a while, even with the band in place.

Yeah jesus... not to mention having to get a prescription filled out for that would make me feel uneasy. Sucks having dick problems but this forum has made my depression so so much less. I feel a lot more like myself. A few weeks back I was feeling suicidal and that's totally out of the ordinary for me.

You don't need a prescription for a pump, you can buy a high quality one online. And while I didn't like the pump for sex, it's an invaluable tool to stretch your penis when you're having issues.

If you go to a urologist who knows what he's taking about they will not say you're too young

I had no idea you were feeling suicidal.

Most insurance requires documentation to substantiate your need for an implant. No problem. I had tried everything except acupuncture and hypnosis. Implant only option.

7 month total. All nerves were removed. Trimix caused EXTREME pain. Bi mix started pyronies. That was the final straw. Scheduled implant.

Not recently man and I wouldn't ever do anything bad. I was just feeling the inadequacy of being a young guy and not being a stud in bed :/

Although many of us who have suffered from ED, and it is very easy to get depressed, it’s important to realize it’s out of our control and doesn’t diminish our value, even though we think it does. Also, put it into perspective. When I found out I had cancer it was eye opening and gave me a different perspective on ED.

Greg,
True. Always something to be thankful for. I'm very sorry about your cancer. I have a lot to live for; it just really gets clouded when you start thinking that everything's ultimately useless because you still can't have sex at such a young age.

[Greg1956]

I know and I don’t mean to belittle how devastating ED is, especially at your age. I feel for you and pray you get help soon. If you have any further questions, I am here for you.

You're the man! Being young a lot of my questions deal with revisions. As far as I know you haven't had a revision yet, but have you heard that there's a large loss in sensation for every time you get replaced due to scar tissue? (Which would also cause more shrinking)

Oh yeah, also, on that horror story thread someone said the erections with the implant become softer with more use. This can't be true right?

[Donnie1954]

Not true, ask David_R. His first one lasted 12 years. He never mentioned softer erections.
