IMPLANT PROS AND CONS

[Roddy]

There's been much talk on here recently about "should I or shouldn't I get an implant?" from a number of members. I'd like to sum up briefly what I have experienced to be the pros and cons as I see them. These are only my observations.

PROS

* My congenital downward bend has completely gone and my erection is now straight out at 3pm.

* Peyronies caused the bend to become more than or at least equal to 90 degrees with an S bend to the left as well as down. These bends are now gone.

* The implant appears to have halted peyronies plaque formation and regular cycling keeps it at bay.

* my penis is completely operational for sex. I get a rock hard erection that does not fail to deliver.

* I never need to worry about getting an erection or indeed keeping that erection.

* I can relax and enjoy sex as a result.

* I don't need to worry about when I ejaculate during sex. Much as it seems weird to continue after climaxing, my wife doesn't know and I simply continue, with the same quality of erection until she is done.

* Related to this, I can relax with my wife and have some beers or wine etc without having to worry about the effects of alcohol on my erection.

* I can now have sexual intercourse in most positions. Prior to the implant I could really only manage a couple of positions.

* For the first time in years I am proud of my erection.

* I don't need to always bend my penis in the opposite direction for penetration.

* My physical relationship with my wife is now 100% better than pre implant.

* My mental health has undoubtedly improved as a result.

* Not that this matters to me but my flaccid dick is 6.25 inches with a considerably larger girth than before surgery.

CONS

* To have the implant requires major surgery. There are major risks like infection and failure of the implant to consider.

* I can never achieve a natural erection ever again.

* I don't wake up with morning erections or during the night.

* In order to have sex I have to pump up my penis via a little pump located behind my testicles. Much as this is no issue in my stable marriage, I'd imagine I'd need to excuse myself to the bathroom to pump up in an experience with a new partner.

* Likewise, when we're done I have to deflate.

* The post-surgical pain was extreme for me for 3 weeks. This has not been the case for others. I suspect my extreme bend was the source of the pain.

* My flaccid penis is large. This has taken some getting used to. My choice of trousers/pants/wardrobe has had to be re-evaluated so as not to be arrested for indecency.

* When visiting toilets and peeing standing up, I'm not able to unzip and simply pull him out. The implant makes the pliability of my penis less easy to pull him out through my underwear and requires a bit more thought.

* The daily cycling routine can be at times tedious.

* I will need a replacement(s) at some time in the future and will have to go through the whole process again.

Thank you Roddy. Would it be possible for someone to put together a mental pro v. con list as well? Don't need to just for me of course, I am assuming others would be interested as well.

Sounds like it was well worth it to me lol

Excellent post Roddy. Thanks for all of the time you've spent posting about your implant/surgical/post-surgical experience. Very valuable to the forum.

Excellent post Roddy,

As far as the mental pro and con I can personally not think of any mental con.

Mentally there has been nothing but PRO for me.  Having a 100% reliable working penis changes how you feel almost every minute of the day, not just during sex.  Dark thoughts are replaced with positive thoughts and confidence.

Roddys post might be good as a "sticky" so that it doesn't get lost as time goes by.
