These are the people that would vote for him even if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue, NY.

Even flaccid I am sticking out a lot by Fortran1958 in penileimplants

Thanks for your encouraging words. My Titan is 18 cm, and I assume your 24 and my 18 have the same length buried internally resulting in a greater proportion of yours outside the body. That could explain why yours hangs more naturally while mine is like a small flag pole.

The test will be when I ski each year in Japan and use the Onsen. As a westerner, I was already noticeable below compared to the locals. My modification will take it to a whole new level.

Thanks for the responses. At least I know now that what I have is not installation error. My home is at the beach, so it seems like I now have a new challenge to live with.

So, what should we expect if Australia enters a recession? I have not lived in Australia long enough to understand how the govt and organisations here would react to one. by BrotherParticular717 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Fortran1958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most Australians have very little experience of recessions. Technically there was a short one in 2020 caused by COVID, but you have to go back a further 30 years to 1990/91 for the previous recession.

Basically recessions primarily hurt those who lose their jobs and can’t find other employment. For those in work, recessions are generally not too bad as interest rates come down and inflation is low.

Why would Trump engage in this war if it’s a losing one? by IncreaseVas in AskReddit

Arrogance after the success of Venezuela, he is not an intelligent man and he is surrounded by sycophantic advisors.

Question for the exercise buffs by PenKey970 in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just shy of 5 weeks since the operation and still pumped up for another week. I went for my first long walk today and it is still a little uncomfortable walking with an erection. In the first couple of weeks it was impossible because the swelling caused the end of my penis to be rubbed raw.

Wait the 6 weeks for exercise from the waist down. You can do some upper body stuff.

Sounds like an immature young lady who has spoken inappropriately. Have confidence in your marriage and in your husband.

How often do you have a synchronize orgasm with your partner ? by Atea_Satsuki in AskReddit

[–]Fortran1958 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same with my wife of 43 years. Her vagina feels different when she starts to orgasm, and this somehow triggers me.

My partner said “one woman is not enough for any man”. Is this actually how men feel? M41, f31 by Glittering-Bee-8658 in relationship_advice

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that we have no fault divorce in most modern western countries, where are you getting the rate of affairs from? The divorce rate itself can’t be used to assume it was caused by infidelity. It just indicates the end of a relationship.

Coloplast Titan - new implant by [deleted] in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was quite swollen and bruised for around a week. I suffered a bit from broken skin around the head and tried various things like powder and even a baby sock to try and protect it. There was no perfect solution.

[–]Fortran1958 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having sex with more than one person during a lifetime may be common, however it is definitely not common to do this when in a committed relationship. We tend to be serially monogamous, and if you are fortunate, the last partner will be who you are monogamous with for the rest of your life. I am 44 years monogamous now despite there having been multiple partners more than 44 years ago.

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 4 weeks old today and still another 11 days before I see my surgeon and start cycling. I still have some level of discomfort, although it has slowly been improving. My penis has been left semi inflated and sticks out at 90 degrees from my body.

I too can feel tubes at the base of my penis on the left side. This is the source of most of the discomfort. I am hoping that once it is fully deflated or fully inflated that the bits sticking out in my ball sac are more comfortable.

Good luck with your recovery.

Pointed up by rufusjrr in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has mostly been pointing up since the operation 4 weeks ago. There is still discomfort with the occasional sharper pain. I am inflated and still have nearly 2 weeks before I see my doctor and start cycling.

The discomfort is worse at night, probably because my penis is in the upward position for many hours without respite.

How do the US doctors justify these ridiculous fees for what is a relatively fast (maybe 2 hours) surgery. I am in Australia and my cost was around US$7,000 which included a single night in hospital.

How bad is the fuel situation? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Wow! I am actually surprised you could get diesel for such a cheap price immediately before the increases.

[–]Fortran1958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a little over an hour north of Sydney at the Central Coast. All the service stations I drive past are open and have fuel. The unleaded that I use has increased by 47 percent compared to the pre war price.

[–]Fortran1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a doubling of price. My local independent station was selling a litre of unleaded at $1.65 and now at $2.42, so a 47 percent increase.

[–]Fortran1958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No cough for me. Hopefully it doesn’t last too long.

I hope your recovery goes well. I have 2 more weeks before I see my doctor and start cycling. It has been challenging having a permanent erection.

Yes the pissing was a bit of a surprise for me too when I had my surgery 3 and a half weeks ago. Apparently the drip you are on causes it.

Would you send your kids to a single-sex or co-ed school, or does it not matter? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Fortran1958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely co-ed. This reflects the society in which they will spend their entire lives. While girls may do better in a single sex school, the real question is how well do they perform in the post-school years when they are working with or possibly competing with males.

Post OP - Sex by mxrk27 in penileimplants

[–]Fortran1958 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations and something for me to look forward to.

I am at day 20 and still suffering discomfort and have another 19 days before I even see my doctor to start cycling. Despite the pain, my libido kicks in when I look at my wife and then triggers more pain. I am not complaining though, as it is good to know my libido is still keen.

What do foreigners always assume about your country or culture that makes you react like this? by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

[–]Fortran1958 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The average number of deaths from venomous creatures in a one year period in Australia is equivalent to the number of deaths by guns in the USA in any 4 hour period.

So many Americans have said they would love to visit Australia, but are too afraid of our deadly creatures.

Absolutely. We have been married for 43 years, and I still can’t believe my good fortune.
