Celebrate

[Aclix]

I'm nearly 64 years of age, around two years ago my Peyronies started to become evident, now I've a pronounced curve upwards during erection.

At first I was a bit worried, but started to realise that for some reason, contrary to everything you read, my erections were really strong and intense, not only that, it was like I was 24 again, getting a raging boner was not a problem, before I had Peyronies, erections were a bit hit and miss.

When it comes to penetration, generally there is no problem, and I enjoy sex probably more than I ever did.

So gents, celebrate your Peyronies, not everyone has it, and, if women really do have a G spot, you are going to hit it.  My missus isn't complaining, and reckons my willy has actually gotten thicker.  I certainly don't have any hang ups about my little defect.

I am glad to hear you are doing well, but lots of men suffer from more extreme curvatures, ED and other complications that make sex and intimacy difficult or impossible. Not to mention the associated psychological issues. You should keep in mind that your experience is not everyone's, especially the men who frequent this forum. I've read about 19 year old's who've completely lost sexual function from Peyronies and are beyond consolation. Offering encouragement, hope and solutions are very welcome, but telling anyone to "celebrate" this disease is callous and unhelpful.

While I accept what you say, the onset of Peyronies doesn't always have to be a negative.  It's not callous or unhelpful to say so, I'm sure that some men will welcome the fact that the condition doesn't mean the end of their sex life....and for some it can be positive.

Yes, I agree there might be positives for some and we shouldn't lose hope or give up on having fulfilling sex lives. I just think we should celebrate our successes in treating or managing the disease, not the disease itself. I guess that's what bothered me.

I would love to have an outcome is similar to yours and maybe one day celebrate it on here. I am genuinely happy for and encouraged by anyone who gets through this relatively unscathed, so I don't want to discourage you from posting or contributing. In fact, if you tried any treatments that you think worked for you maybe you could detail them in the Improvements subforum?

We all love a good success story!

Really? I mean come on.. sure a curve can give women a little more pleasure. So? Peyronie's disease is in the most general sense scar tissue forming in your penis. I don't even have a curve, but I do have dents/hourglassing and it didn't increase girth or lenght or shape and definitely didn't help my erection quality. In general scar tissue forming inside your penis is NOT a good thing. Glad your case is minor, but  I think most of us got nothing to "celebrate" haveing this disease. It's like saying "glad I broke my arm, now people can write one my gypsum". It's good to stay positive, but let's be real here.

Aclix;

Whilst I'm happy for you that your condition is not too bad at the moment, be aware that this disease is almost always progressive. In other words it's likely that your Peyronies will worsen.

Left completely untreated, you might just get lucky and find it resolves itself or does not progress. However, the odds are that it won't and that you are likely to see your Peyronies remain active.

I would strongly suggest that you take some action now.

No, I've had this for more than two years and the bend is pretty severe, I have the hourglass or waisting too at the scar location, so my situation is pretty typical of Peyronies.

Maybe I am lucky that it isn't having a negative impact in my life, and that was the point of my post, having Peyronies needn't always be something negative, sure, if I had my way it would be nice and straight, the ironic thing is, at one time in my life before Peyronies I had to visit the quack with erection problems, since Peyronies I've not had any issues.

Aclix, I would have to say that you are an outlier from the norm. In any sample normally there is an outlier and they are noted. Many of us who are suffering from Peyronies find it to be a terrible thing because it doesn't allow for our penis to function properly to fill up with blood, get hard, and keep it that way. As for you however I think that the Peyronies has allowed your penis to function properly which I couldn't be more happy for you. Do understand that it's not just an issue of having a curve to your penis where many people suffer from pain, lose size/girth, and can't maintain an erection. However I do believe that it is important to keep a positive attitude and continue to be proactive in treating it daily. For you, Peyronies has been a solution to your erectile dysfunction problem, however to the other 99.9999% of people on this website and around the world suffering from it, it's a curse. It may be something for you to celebrate but for most people it isn't. I've been suffering it for almost half my life and I'm 26 so I must say I find some of your comments distasteful.
