It has been 2 full years since I have been implanted with a Titan, but for me the time feels right to share /summarize my story. I am 38 years old (36 at time of implant). No one has ever been able to find a definitive cause to my ED, but I truly believe Propecia/Finasteride deeply hurt my body and my hormone system. I would almost beg anyone not to use that drug. For 5 years prior to my implant surgery I watched my ED get worse and worse over time. The final year before the surgery I was watching my penis actually thin out / shrink before my eyes. I lost all sex drive / leg hair / had terrible brain fog/ and my testosterone
Levels crashed to 150 on multiple tests. With no blood flow in my penis and it being “cold” all the time I would feel as if I had to pee every second and I would drip in my underwear a lot. I literally tried everything from ( reg counseling to sex therapy to taking 200 MG of Viagra and cialis 2 times a day to try and get some blood flow but nothing worked.) I can not count the amount of doctors I saw over that 5 year span. I think the saddest day for me was when I left John Hopkins and they said there was nothing they could do / find why these things were happening to me. I could write so much more but I will spare everyone the ugly details. I will say thank god for my mother and father for being there for me along the way or I would not of been alive to write this. I can not explain how much I thought about / considered taking my life.
I finally found 2 doctors that would change my life. The first was Dr Eugene Shippen ( just retired this summer) who is one of the few doctors in the world who has been affective in treating finasteride suffers. Over the course of a year He was able to get me on a very good TRT / HCG protocol which would allow me to not be tired and weak anymore and also off depression medicine completely ( which I had to go on after a couple years of going through this) . Even though Dr Shippen helped me out a ton physically and mentally no matter what he tried it would not help my penis.
That is what led me to looking into an implant as a answer to having some kind of a life. I stumbled upon this very board and read stories that many of you wrote and I thank you a ton for that. That is also how I found my Implant surgeon Dr Kramer ( Maryland Medical center). Dr Kramer implanted me in June of 2016 and gave me a life again. In fact I have never had a life this good. I was worried I would lose size because of the surgery ( I did not). I remember the last thing I said to Dr Kramer before they put me to sleep was “I don’t expect this surgery to be perfect , but I just don’t want girls to laugh at me cause of this”. He chuckled at me and said “ I promise no one will laugh “ I really didn’t understand what he meant at the time but now I do........ The last 2 years Have been incredible! I have slept with over 30 women , driven cross country for 40 days, traveled to Europe, and have been able to live a life I used to dream / would die for. I can’t explain what this surgery has done for my confidence and overall well-being. I feel like a man again.... and like Dr. Kramer said no girl laughs they only love it / me when I am in bed with them.....
Again I could write so much more, but I just want to Thank everyone on this board and also tell anyone ( especially younger guys this is a wonderful thing and something you will not regret if you are suffering from bad ED.

Hey dude!
This was such an uplifting story to read for all men affected with this curse everywhere but especially a younger man such as myself who would love the lead the kind of life you are living now.
I am so so so happy for you and wish you all the very best in life!
Would you mind answering a few questions? If you have the time!
- how has the implant affected the way you view sex?
- what has been the reaction of women? (If they have found out)
- have women discovered the pump?
- what did you tell them if they asked what it is or seemed taken aback
- how did the implant affect your length and girth?
Thanks man!

37, mild to moderate ED since age 21, 3 Dopplers - 1 result VL & 3 later results 'no physical problem', dependent on cialis (efficacy now waning), overcame Lymophoma at age 26, ED causing immense/profound psychological distress. Considering implant.
Re: Implant is Blessing / My story
Great story! Thank you for sharing. I suffered from ED for 30 years and went to doctor after doctor to and nothing helped. FINALLY I met the right doctor and got great help and advice. It pays not to give up on something important. I am thrilled for you that you got the help you needed and deserved.

Re: Implant is Blessing / My story
Thanx mate,
I already call you a mate for sharing this great story. You help us very much! I also suffer from the sides of Propecia. Sad that the protocol from Dr Shippen didn't helped your ED.
Are/where you als a member of the Propeciahelp forum? People over there who tried a TRT protocol where in the beginning better but crashed after a while ending much worser. Can you please share your protocol over there? There are so much young guys with suicidal thoughts you can help with it.
I'm so glad you changed everything in a good way. Is your hair on your legs growing back? Do you package a lot of muscles. You don't use AD anymore, good sleep?
Thanx mate!

Thank you for the well wishes brother I appreciate it ! Let me answer your questions best I can.
1. The implant has allowed me to enjoy sex much more than before because I no longer have anxiety or worry if I will work or not...... I used to think about it all the time now I have other things to focus my thoughts on.
2. Out of the 30 or so women I have slept with 2 have found out and that’s because I slept with them more than 3 or 4 times and had the intent to have some kind of relationship with them. They were very understanding and could have cared less.... one girl said “I found a 4 leaf clover “ referring to how I can do it all night /any time She would want.
My biggest problem is that they want it to much after seeing what I can do and even though my hormones are way better than they were I am still no where near where I was before propecia so sometimes I just don’t have the sex drive to do it multiple times a day..... That’s where marijuana helps me to feel “normal” in regards to sex drive.
Women are going to find out about the pump if you sleep with them multiple times.... and enjoy great blow jobs..... but one night stands never...... and you end up banging them so good that first or 2nd time that if they find out it won’t matter.... The 2 I told I just told them the truth that I got sick and needed this to have a life . End of story. Then I banged them again and go to sleep or get something to eat like everyone else does.
As for length and girth Dr Kramer did a great job keeping all of my length and girth so no issues there. The first couple days after surgery I was worried but everything ended up fine.

Hey brother sorry to hear about propecia bothering you too.......
I have not been a member of any other forum. I will definitely look into it though since you mentioned it. Yes I have been on TRT for 4 years and will be for as long as I live.... no way I will get off of it. Half of my leg hair grew back and that’s the way it’s been for years now..... Yes I am very strong and have plenty of muscles. I always lifted prior to this anyway so now it’s just way easier and I get way stronger. Proud to say I have been completely off any depressants for over a year now. I have no sleep issues I teach middle school and coach high school baseball and basketball so I am plenty tired when day is over.
