Does your implant wobble at the base when erect ?

[impotentredditor]

So I was reading up on RTEs and I came across this video by Dr Eid https://youtu.be/oGBMccEQERw

In jt there's a video of one patient whose implanted penis is extremely wobbly in the erect state.

Are most people's implanted erections like this ?

How wobbly are your erections ?

Could you, say, suspend a heavy towel off it ?

That's why you should choose your doctor very carefully. I've read that RTEs (Rear Tip Extenders), sometimes, do that. Some doctors choose to take a longer tube and cut it to size than to take a shorter one and add extenders to it. The point of connection between the tube and extender is prone to instability.

Thank you for the reply Captn20, so you have no hinge effect ?

No wobble or hinge.
Dr took a 22cm kit and trimmed the bases to give me a 20cm/21cm, maybe for Peyronies correction.

As you see in my signature, my implant is not till the 11th. But after the measurement and ultrasound, Dr Eid explained his plan of action in detail.

Captn,

How can Dr. Eid know the exact length cylinders you will get before surgery when he measures your chambers both up and down and adds the numbers?

As you can see in my signature. My Urologist used RTEs. I have absolutely no swivel. My dick is firm straight and hard pumped up. Please refrain from telling your FT brothers what a mistake they made having RTEs in their implant. Try to be encouraging not discouraging.

I have had a few talks with Dr. Eid at the time before and after my surgery about implants in general, including his view on RTEs. As I have said here on FT several times, he believes the less RTEs the better.
His main reasons to avoid them, is if I remember correctly what he told me (it is >2 years ago), that the ideal implant would have no fixed part at all. It would be 100% inflatable. That would mimic in the best way a natural dick. A natural dick swells up with blood all the way back in the crus. An implant without RtEs already have 4.5 cm of fixed non-inflatable part in the rear end. For an e.g. 20 cm implant, this means 4.5/20=22.5% is already non-inflatable, i.e. the rigidity factor is 77.5%.
If doc would insert a 16 cm implant and use 4 cm RTEs instead of the 20 cm implant, there would be 8.5/20=42.5% fixed part and a rigidity factor of only 57.5%.
The main problem with RTEs is that they don't deflate. It means they constantly put pressure on the tissue in the crus. Which over time will loosen it up.
Also, the diameter of the RTEs are less than the diameter of an inflated cylinder. Which means that an inflated cylinder will provide a firmer fit in the crus than an RTE, and hence a firmer base for the implant.
Less wobbling, less swivelling.

However, there is one poster in this thread, who probably has one of the longest stacks of RTEs in the history of implants. And he claims his dick is perfect. No wobble.
Of course, anyone who reads here can choose whose expertise to believe.
One of the most reputable implant surgeons who has made thousands of surgeries and revisions - or one guy on this forum who has never had an implant without RTEs.
There is of course a possibility that the guy who had one implant with RTEs and none without RTEs does not know whether his dick would be better without RTEs.
And there is a possibility that the doc who has seen thousands of implanted dicks with and without RTEs does know a fair bit about the difference between a non RTE and an RTE setup.

I would beware and ask my potential implant surgeon about RTEs.
The worst thing you want is that he uses them for the wrong reasons.
Lack of stock of implants in the correct size, or because of his inexperience (installing implants with RTEs is easier than installing one without RTEs).

Regarding the famous towel question. I have a 24 cm implant without RTEs. That is a setup with a quite high Rigidity Factor (19.5/24=81%).
My dick is extremely firm at the base. I cannot bend it up to even touch my abs when it is fully inflated. And I cannot bend it below 3 o’clock. Sideways it is even more firm. In the beginning I thought this lack of flex was slightly uncomfortable for sex. So did my wife. Hence I did not pump full. Not anymore. We both prefer it basically fully pumped these days.
I love the feeling of my dick pushing up against her inside when I am inside her. And so does she. If I slowly pull my dick out, it will spring up to its 2 o’clock angle.

I can easily hang a heavy bath towel on it.

Good luck everyone.

Earlier this week I had a man tell me I have to stay away from him because he cannot take his eyes off my package when I am around. Hard enough to hide as it is. No way in hell I would want a stack of rubber chickens in there.

I wonder if anyone's surgeon installed those dreaded RTEs and later developed a swivel so bad the implant had to be replaced. Beating guys down because their surgeon used RTEs is counterproductive. What the hell do you expect them to do about it? Have them removed? I have 7 good inches of firm, towel hanging, implant and no problem completely draining.
