25 years old Should i have an implant?

[25yearsold]

Hello i am a 25 years old young member who is considering having a penile implant. I have a lot of questions in my mind and hoping to find some answers in this wonderful community. Before asking my questions a little background about me:

I was diagnosed hypertension when i was 18 years old and on medicine since then.

I first noticed my ED about 1 year ago,when i was 24 years old, during foreplay my girlfriend. I noticed i am not as hard as i used to be with my ex girlfriend (when i was 19, so its like 5 years ago). I was using antidepressants at that time (SSRI) which are notorious for causing sexual dysfunction. So i did not pay so much attention, discussed the topic with my psychiatrist. He lowered the dosage of my medicine at first, but it did not improve things so he stopped the treatment and told me wait for 6-8 weeks to side effects go away. I stopped antidepressant treatment 6 months ago but my ED did not improve, it got worse and i became more and more depressed.
1 month ago i went to an urologist and he asked a blood test,pelvic ultrasound, penile doppler. Ultrasound and penile doppler came normal, ( i even had a prolonged erection after doppler test) my testosterone level was just a little above normal level (my urologist told me its below normal for my age but not low enough to cause ED), my prolactin was slightly elevated (again my urologist told me it should not cause ED). In conclusion my urologist seemed confused and told me it might be psychological. But since i was never having morning erections and was not able to have a full erection even while masturbating he started me 5 mg Daily cialis for a month to see what will happen.

After starting cialis my ED symptoms relieved a little, and after 2 weeks starting Cialis i was able to have penetrative sex with my girlfriend first time in my life. Even though it was not great ( i needed constant stimulation to maintain my erection, and lost my erection in some positions like girl on top) i managed to have sex 3-4 times on my second week with Cialis.

But after 3rd week Cialis seemed to be no longer effective, and my erectile capacity is not enough for having sex. That made me even more depressed, i was already depressed since i have to use PDE5 inhibitors to have sex at 25. Anyway i discussed all these with my psychiatrist and he told me its all psychological which i strongly disagree.

THESE ARE MY SYMPTOMS PLEASE TELL ME YOUR OPINIONS IF IT IS ORGANIC OR PSYCHOLOGIC:
-No morning wood. Never.
-Able to have a %80-90 erection on sitting, lying positions with manual stimulation.
-Once stimulation stops erection goes away very quickly (10-15 seconds)
-Once stand up erection goes away in 20-30 seconds EVEN i stimulate it with my hand.
-Can’t start an erection while i was standing up.
-These symptoms are same when i was with my girlfriend or alone(masturbating)

Last week when i was with my girlfriend i took 10mg levitra in addition to my Daily 5 mg cialis regimen and barely had an erection to make me able to have intercourse.

I have appointment with my urologist and psychiatrist in 3-4 days but it seems my options are (unless they put a magical solution on table) injections or implant.
I have concerns about both, injections will kill spontaneity and i think it will kill my self-esteem even more, on the other hand implant is an irreversible solution and i will lose any chance to have a natural erection.





TO SUMMERIZE I AM 25 YEARS OLD. I HAVE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS FOR 1 YEAR SHOULD I HAVE AN IMPLANT OR GO WITH INJECTIONS? (ORAL MEDS ARE NOT WORKING, ALL TESTS CAME NORMAL, I HAVE HYPERTENSION SINCE 18 YEARS OLD) IS IT PSYCHOLOGIC OR ORGANIC?
-No morning wood. Never.
-Able to have a %80-90 erection on sitting, lying positions with manual stimulation.
-Once stimulation stops erection goes away very quickly (10-15 seconds)
-Once stand up erection goes away in 20-30 seconds EVEN i stimulate it with my hand.
-Can’t start an erection while i was standing up.
-These symptoms are same when i was with my girlfriend or alone(masturbating)

I am closer to having an implant since i think i can i manage to hide it (even most of you do not suggest that, but please consider i am 25 years old.) and as per i understood injections are unreliable and you need to up your dosage and eventually they stop working.





I HAVE READ ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TOPIC IN FRANKTALK, HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS ABOUT IMPLANTS:
(I know some (maybe all) of them were asked before but i will ask again anyway to have more opinions and to put together all questions can be asked before considering an penile implant for a young guy like me)

1) Does it feel natural to you while having sex? Could you please compare the joy with natural erection on 10 points. (natural erection->10 implant erection->?)
2) Does it feel natural to you while having oral sex? Could you please compare the joy with natural erection on 10 points. (natural erection->10 implant erection->?)
3) Does it feel natural to your partner while having sex?
4) Does it feel natural to your partner while having oral sex?
5) Is implant noticable by eye to you or your partner when erect/flaccid?
6) Is implant noticable by touching your penis to you or your partner when erect/flaccid?
7) Is it possible to hide the implant from a partner that you have penetrative and oral sex with? (again please do not judge, it is hard at age 25)
8) Does implant cause any pain or discomfort to you or your partner during sex?
9) Is sex or masturbation more enjoyable with a natural erection or same with implant? If it is not same could you please compare on 10 points?
10) I have 5’5 erect length 5’ erect girth 5’5 flaccid strected lenght, how much length and girth size loss should i expect? Does size loss happens every time?( I know all people are different but wondering what your urologists told you)
11) I am going to have to have a number of revisions in my lifetime because implant will fail eventually, do you lose size on every revision? (excluding situations like infection)
12) Is masturbation feel different with implant? Could you please compare on 10 points.
13) How painful is surgery?
14) How long does it take to come back normal activity or work after surgery?
15) How long does it take to be allowed to masturbate after surgery?
16) How long does it take to be allowed to have sex/oral sex after surgery?
17) How painful is a revision surgery?
18) How long does it take to come back normal activity or work after a revision surgery?
19) How long does it take to be allowed to masturbate after a revision surgery?
20) How long does it take to be allowed to have sex/oral sex after a revision surgery?
21) Does flexing bulbocavernouse muscle (the one that moves your penis up when you flex) feels same after implant?
22) Could you please compare the feeling and enjoyment between having sex/oral sex/masturbation with a natural erection and implant assisted erection on 10 points?
23) Do you recommend an implant or injections for a 25 years old?




I know it has been a very long post, but i will be more than appreciated if you can answer my questions. I apologize for grammer and other expression mistakes, English is not my native language as you can notice. Thank you very much

If you can get hard while masturbating watching porn by yourself then you don't have ED.

Not getting hard with girlfriends or not having morning wood can often be cured by stopping porn altogether.

If you can't get hard by yourself either then first check your testosterone and estrogen levels. If these are good then do an ultrasound to check for venous leak. If you get a venous leak confirmed then get an implant.

-I can get max %80 hard while masturbating, but it only happens with constant manual stimulation, when i stop touching my penis it goes away in 5-10 seconds. Can't get hard standing up even when i by myself, lose erection immediately when i stand up even when i by myself.
-Stopped porn 2 months ago, did not make any difference
-Testosterone levels are in between 300-400. Haven't checked estrogen. Penile doppler showed no venous leak, both inflow and outflow were good. But i have severe ED regardless with or without partner.

There is a young guy on this forum, he's 22, he just had one done a few days ago. I'm sure he will chime in. His condition sounded much like yours. You are right about the injections, they will eventually stop working. But there are a couple of guys on the injection section of FT that have been injecting for over 10 years.

I can only answer a few of your questions being that I have only had my implant for less than 3 weeks, so I have not used it yet.

13) The surgery is not painful at all. You are out cold. The most uncomfortable thing for me was when the pulled the catheter out, and that was all of a few seconds. Really, they load you up with pain medication, so it's not bad at all.

I personally think the first week was the worst. Needed pain pills. But it's not excruciating pain. I took two weeks off from work and I'm glad I did. Feel good now, a little tenderness where the incision is. But given your age, you just might only need a week.

23) If I were you, I would try injections first. Go that route. The bimix worked wonderfully for me for about 2 1/2 - 3 years.

Thank you very much for your reply sliphill! I hope everything goes well with your implant.

hey man i am 22 years old and I did the surgery 7 days ago. Your situation was pretty much like mine here is my thread:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8203

The thing is that my dick was working like yours but I think it's kind of useless. I need constantly need a physical stimulation to stay hard otherwise in less than 30 secondes i was soft. (I never use a condom in my life because of that)

To be honest with you I did the implant because at our age women except spontanity. Women don't understand yet that you might need pills or injection because we are young. Even with medication its still hit or miss you know I did cialis + herbal pill from 18-22 .

Now I feel totally relief from ED I will never be soft in front of a women again.
So it's up to you but from what I read in this forum at the moment you start with pill you will try everything else then end up with an implant so why wasted time and miss opportunity.

My biggest concern is partner's reaction about implants. Can you confidently pump your impant in front of your partner?

[youngwithed]

I did use it yet not even pump it once but i dont care what people think. A big dick that work everytime is better than a normal that is not reliable. Plus I told one of my ex i did that and she was happy for me and i asked her if it would bother her to be with a guy like me she said that its "doesnt change anything if i love you i will accept you they way you are and if you feel better about yourself like that and you are happy , i am happy for you plus now it can work anytime"

[youngwithed]

But i dont plan to be in relationship. Im gonna be an explorer for all the years that i miss
