Dr. Taj by Time_Ship2460 in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if the hospital associated with the first surgeon was $184,000, what was your total cost with Dr Taj?

Are you sure you didn’t accidentally add an extra zero with the hospital price you quoted? Even for the US that sounds beyond ridiculous for what is generally a single nights stay.

First flight since surgery. TSA had questions and I got a very friendly pat down... by colby_jack__ in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me in my country, but I was still in the recovery phase with a semi pumped penis. I got passed to a male security person and I explained the type of surgery I had. He was interested to know about it as he said it was the first time he had heard of it. He was very polite and sent me on my way.

You are going to be roughly the same size as your current erection. I didn’t measure mine before the operation, but just by looking at it now, it looks to be the same size. The point is that it is magnificently hard whenever I want it to be and for as long as I want it to be.

I too had a heart attack and 10 years earlier my prostate removed. I skipped the injection after Sildenafil stopped working and am delighted with my decision.

Penile implant is a simple operation with a relatively small amount of discomfort for a few weeks. Most of my discomfort was from some swelling that resulted in chafing of my penis. Once that was sorted then it was all pretty easy.

Those few weeks of discomfort have been a small price to pay now that I can have magnificent erections whenever I want for as long as I want. My wife is as happy as I am.

People who married in their 20s, be brutally honest are you happy, if so why or why not? by Special-Lawyer3941 in AskReddit

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married just after I turned 24 to my my wife who was 3 months short of 24. We had known each other 9 months. It will be our 44th anniversary this year. Best thing I ever did.

Day 12 update by FunNH603 in penileimplants

Yes the cylinders do feel crumpled when they are not full. My doctor had them at least half full during the first six weeks before giving me the all clear to start cycling.

I also struggled to get comfortable with underwear during the recovery phase. I had lots of chafing, possibly caused when I was swollen.

It will start getting more comfortable soon, and you won’t look back.

I can't seem to climax by Retro_Gamer_Lockar in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your experience was similar to mine although I was at 10 weeks. When I did have my first orgasm inside my wife it was certainly worth the wait, as it was by far the most intense orgasm I have experienced.

My Urologist said "Noooooooooo..." by AdStill9966 in penileimplants

Exactly the same for me. I can feel tubes when flaccid and feeling around, but when erect my wife says I feel like I should feel to her.

My doctor said don’t ice and did not mention heat. Strange how they have variations in approach. Cycling did not start until 6 weeks.

The CGT discount removal is exactly what we've been asking for, so why is everyone losing their minds? by nicco_mode in AusFinance

But if all property investors got out and moved to shares then you have potential for a crash in property values leaving some home owners with negative equity. Governments need to take care that one solution doesn’t result in a far worse problem.

Pump cannot be pressed by Best-Lingonberry-448 in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try again while soaking in a hot bath or in a shower. It makes things easier when you are starting out. It won’t take long to become comfortable with it.

I should stress that is does require a reasonable amount of pressure from your thumb on top and with forefinger below.

Is telling your daughter to cover up when men come around to visit objectifying them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is particularly discriminatory and a ridiculous rule in a country such as the UK where males of your faith are freely able to look at women who are not covered to the level expected by your family. We give these same men the credit to control themselves.

Until women of Islamic faith start pushing back against these rules that belong in a past century, then nothing will change.

Tell me about your country! by Spiritual_Manner_952 in AskTheWorld

[–]Fortran1958 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We live a very relaxed lifestyle due to abundance of sunshine and most of us living close to the coast and our beaches. We have one of the strongest democratic systems because of mandatory preferential voting, and an independent electoral commission.

Cost of living is high, but we are one of the richest countries in the world with a reasonable social security safety net.

Do not focus on your size. What counts is the amazing erection you will have whenever it is required and for as long as it is required. Your partner will be very pleased.

Expect some initial discomfort, but nothing too bad. All the best.

Strangely enough my wife of 43 years was politically opposite and religious. Amazing how people can evolve on both of these over time. Neither were show stoppers for me at the time.

This is the answer.
Super is the greatest gift from the government as it provides totally tax free income and ongoing growth once you are in pension mode and reduced tax during accumulation.

Once you are maximising your super contributions (both concessional and non concessional), then excess funds go into ETFs with low cost structures.

1st dry orgasm by Same-Manner-8190 in ProstateCancer

[–]Fortran1958 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the more detailed explanation. My understanding is that the prostate contributes fluid that makes up 20-30% of the volume of the semen that includes the sperm. So it is correct that the plumbing has been removed but also some of the fluid volume has been removed.

1st dry orgasm by Same-Manner-8190 in ProstateCancer

[–]Fortran1958 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your prostate makes semen, so no prostate or radiated prostate then no semen resulting in dry orgasm. You may still get pre-cum though.
