Why aren’t middle aged men lining up for implants? - A POST BY A FORUM IMPOSTER

[matty1998]

I don't want to make this sound like a biased question, but why aren't middle-aged men, with or without some degree of Erectile Dysfunction and no Peyroines not lining up for implants all the time? Everyone knows that men lose sexual prowess as they age, just normally, right. So, how come we don't see 60 years going into their urologists asking for implants just because they can't sexually compete with an 18-year old? In other words, there's got to be a downside of implants no one is talking about. It seems every guy over 50 or 60 would want an implant if what people say about them, who have had them, were true? Right?

We don't mind biased questions, just repetitive dumb ones.

It could be because they are all backward and ignorant.  Much like you as a new uneducated member, they are completely certain of a bunch of bogus beliefs.  Why did I stupidly wait 15 years like a total fool?  The answer, I was as misinformed like you. The greatest disservice I ever did for myself and this forum is not understanding the objective reality.

It does not take a genius to read the satisfaction rates.  It does not take anyone particularly bright to see every forum mirrors or surpasses those satisfaction rates.  It just takes an open mind.

Couple that with the fact that few local urologists know anything about implants, are not competent to install them, and can earn nothing out of recommending them. The obvious answer is staring you in the face. You are just too biased to absorb facts at this point.  As you learn, that will improve if you are sincere and have a grasp of facts.

The bigger question is, WHY DO YOU CARE?  What is your vested interest in this?  What is your ax to grind?  Your entire persona is highly suspect since you are not a candidate for an implant.  As a Newbie, are you here to instruct us or to learn?

4 years ago, I had absolutely no idea what Peyronie's was.  Had absolutely no idea that there were penile implants.  Now I do obviously.  Why would guys line up for something they know nothing about?  Had I known, who knows, but to think all men with issues know of the solutions currently is not realistic

No 18 year old has to deal with what brought all of us here, barring a select few.  If a man wanting to fix an issue with his body baffles you, I don't know what I can say to convince you.  Someone takes a bat to your knee?  Destroys all the ligaments and muscles.   Are you going to just let it heal naturally?  No, you are going to have it surgically repaired and hope that it becomes as normal as it used to be.  Am I right?

I would never push it on you, or anyone really.  My journals here are just that, journals.  I guess my question to you is, why are you here?  Most here are looking for a way to fix a problem with their dick, and want to see others experiences.  It's obvious you are totally against implants which is fine.  I can say having gone through the crap I did with Xiaflex, I am totally against Xiaflex.  But I don't go on the forum, in the Xiaflex topic, and bash Xiaflex.  I simply share my experience.  What have you specifically done to help your situation?  Or are you simply here as a counter point?  Simple questions

[TDix]

To piggyback on this, I find it curious to come on a forum and be the antithesis of what everyone on the forum is talking about.  Would I go on a prostate cancer forum and say anything anyone was doing was wrong?  Hell no!  They are living it and doing the best they can in their situation as are we.  That is why this whole concept of "I'd never do that" crap is just that.....crap.  Sit on your butt for a few years and don't do anything?  Fine, that is completely your right.  I chose NOT to do that.

I'm really fed up with people like this original poster posting the same nonsense time after time. It leads me to believe it's the same poster but with a new undercover name. Why do you even care? You are here simply to antagonise and ridicule. Except, it's all very subtle and nuanced.

I'll once again make this as clear as I can. Peyronies simply made my dick SO bent and deformed that sex was impossible. Literally impossible. No erectile dysfunction - only a  hard bent dick which could not be bent back to penetrate. For clarity - NO ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.

Solution - coloplast Titan implant. Then magnificent, life-changing sex. End of.

Sorry if that doesn't meet with your warped agenda.

ONE LAST TIME MATT, WHY DO YOU CARE?   You are not a candidate for an implant.  As a Newbie, are you here to instruct us or to learn about treatments for your condition?

Are you too ignorant to understand the purpose of this forum and these boards?  They are not to convince the world about Xiaflex, implants, psychological resources, VEDs, or any other aspects.  They are ONLY to educate men considering each of these because they seek a solution that applies to them.  


PS:  You are not qualified or approved to respond to men in the Introduction Board.  That area is only for Newbies introducing themselves and those members who understand the purpose of the forum.

Matt is just saying that probably there are men that regret the implant, he is just saying that implants are not for everyone. On this forum all the guys that have implants are very happy with it and that's great. But in other forums, there are many men that are very unhappy with the implants and regret it. Some of the bad reviews of implants are: chronic pain, lost of size, erosion, infection, malfunction, two women complaint that they feel the tubes of the implants and hate it.....
Implants can be life savers, but please recognize that can have serious side effects and that not everyone is happy with it.

Bud luck, it is clear you are either very easily fooled or you are a co-conspirator.

If you notice, almost all of the implants on this forum were done by known, High volume surgeons.  Half of them were done by Dr. Eid. Other forums suggest local urologists who do 5 - 10 implants a year.
We guide patients on how to select a surgeon and what questions to ask.  Other forums don't
We keep sound, documented journals indexed and readily available as a learning tool.  Other forums let great journals get buried by nonsense posts.

No one here ever suggested any implant from any source was a good idea.  We loudly warn against that. We have always specified a properly installed implant from a known, high-volume surgeon.

Even without following our recommendations, industry-wide, it is soundly documented that implants have the highest satisfaction rate of any solution.  If you are not another TROLL then you have a hard time grasping that there is nothing you can compare it to that comes close. (Erectile Dysfunction injections, Xiaflex, VEDS for sex, No intercourse, plication surgery, grafting, etc)

It is time to listen to men who know what they are talking about or get off of this forum and go find one you like better.

We all know EXACTLY what he is saying.  The important thing is that everyone understand what we are saying. Those qualified to speak on the subject (renown surgeons and men who actually have implants) are say he is dead wrong.  He is clueless on the topic and simply spewing his personal feelings.

Thank you Bud Luck, you stated exactly what I was getting at.

You will always find unsatisfied people with anything if you look.  I've never said an implant is a be all end all solution for everyone, that would not be factoring in multiple variables (diabetes, weight, overall health, age etc....) I simply tell my tale of my journey.  I understand the need, or want, to question everything and anything.  Had I let my original uro do my implant it may have been much different, I don't know.  What I am saying is that the variables are vast.  You go to a uro that does a couple implants a year, are in poor health.....will your outcome be amazing?  Who knows.  I am relatively healthy but made sure I went to the best doctor I could, and feel that made a difference.  Disastrous outcomes and unhappy patients....where did they go?  Who did their procedure?  We're they healthy to begin with?  You can find many negative outcomes, but if you dig deeper, I can almost guarantee certain variables led to that outcome.  Just my 2 cents

Actually I would never have gotten an implant if I did not have to.

The issue is is what does have to mean. I would have gotten an implant the month after my fall if I had had a better urologist. Fin doc gave me viagra cause I was getting old even when I told him this never happened to me. I guess he was thinking yeah right. Oh well. Doc knows best. Right. Took the viagra and would have sex. Not to surprising I injured myself. Then peyronies showed up. Then first doc says oh you have peyronies. You should try traction. So I got an andro peyronies device. First doc never ever mentioned an implant to me. Nope not ever. He did mention those injections but said they can cause additional trauma and worsen peyronies. He would be glad to give them to me though. He got a crap ton of money for doing them.

All this stuff has been rehashed again and again. I had zero chance of fixing my dick period. I had a bad leak. So I suggest anyone with ed find a good doc to make sure they evaluate all your options. If you are happy and your curve is not bad enough to cause you issues and you can stay hard enough for sex. Stay your course. I could not.

Is an implant the greatest answer. I wish I had my old dick back. My old dick worked when I wanted for as long as I wanted as many times as I wanted. If I was a drunk, and I like my bourbon, it still worked. I admit I took it for granted. Then it was gone.

An implant allows you to have sex and to give your partner orgasms again with a hard penis and not just with oral.

So I would say. An implant is a great option for anyone with ed issues when they decide it is right for them. If you decide it is never your option. More power to you.

All I can say is my wife likes my just under 7 inch hard dick. It is my pre ed size after years of misery and a potential divorce.

I just wish anyone with ed. See a great doc. Get the tests you need to see what realistic options you have. Then research and make that decision.

There are about 30,000 implants done a year so you will never hear from most of those people. Good or bad.

Wish you all the best.

I am now going to explain what was going on with this topic and why "Matty" was incapable of admitting or explaining why he was even posting on this board.  Matty is a crank, sometimes known in the internet world as a troll.  They are mentally disturbed individuals who don't have a life, so they come on forums and try to elevate themselves to a level of importance.  It is their way of finding validation to compensate for the lack of a life in the real world.  They do so by spewing opinion as facts, lying and making up facts, and avoiding real questions like the one I posted 6 times to him in large font.  They hope gullible people will fall for it, so they feel like they have a "following."

It is not just here.  These disturbed individuals plague every forum on the internet.  It is worse when they screw with a men's medical forum and try to destroy what others have spent time and money building for each of you.  There is a solid reason to believe he does not even have Peyronies Disease. In fact, he is a total liar and imposter.  I have now positively identified him as Jan.schaller1958 from Germany, who was banned here for similar conduct.  He also has multiple other I.D's

He will be banned and all of his utterly stupid posts deleted.  There are three groups of members I want to address.
1. Those who were fooled by his nonsense.  Do not be so gullible in the future.  Demand facts, not silly opinions and claims with no basis.
2. Those who knew and participated in the cover-up.  We know who you are, and if not careful, you will soon find yourselves without a forum.  Don't play immature sick games with men's lives
3. Those who knew and assisted me by drawing him out to make more posts until I could confirm his identity.  Thank you for the service to the forum.

There is actually one more sub-group.  I won't name names, but if you advocated for the garbage being posted by "Matty," you have publically made a fool of yourself.

This man is part of a small group of mentally unbalanced individuals who dedicate their shallow lives to this sort of thing.  He will prove that by coming back yet again.   That is what wreckers and arsons do. He and those like him will be dealt with once again.

When you think I am aggressive for documentation and a debate on facts vs. opinion and feelings, you know why. My commitment to you is to fight to keep this forum free from such hijackers as long as we have a team in place. For those who complain I am not aggressive enough, it takes time to fairly determine if a member is factually confused, disagrees on facts, or is just a punk screwing with our forum.  I try to error on the side of giving the benefit of the doubt.
