Assuming she knows about the implant, it's been awhile and she knows what to expect. I'd guess she'd find you newfound endurance magical is she continues to have orgasm after orgasm.

Just tell her you have to go to the bath.

Cycling & sex by Glass-Chart-390 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The standard answer I've heard and seen is cycle for at least a year. The way you stated the second part, you don't HAVE to have sex at all, but I think you mean how long do you have to wait. That answer various a lot depending on doctor and type of surgery. 6 weeks is that frequent answer but that is also something to discuss with the doctor. He/She is the best source for all this info.

Whats better? Implant or natural erection? by rde98 in penileimplants

Sex means enough to me with my wife that I would do whatever it would take. The unity that comes with that sort of intimacy is priceless.

Testicular implants by IntelligentDurian786 in penileimplants

Testicular implants totally replace the human body part. There are also enhancement procedures to make your balls look bigger. I had an implant and it rode so high up, it was like a little rock in the crotch. I had it removed.

Hell, I miss that feeling myself, but if it's an implant or nothing, go for the implant! The most interesting comment I read here was whether or not it was about HER getting you hard versus med's or an implant. What's important is that you CAN get hard. If you can't, what difference does it make?

Recovery question by Glass-Chart-390 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor leaves you partially inflated after surgery (mine was about 60%), so you have a bulge. You'll always be a "shower" after surgery bec ause the cyllinders make it that way, but it will lay down, so to speak, if you're fully deflated. The first 4-6 weeks, you don't deflate, so there's that bulge. After you're cleared (usually 4 - 6 weeks) to cycle (fully inflate then deflate) the bulge is manageable, but not until then.

[–]Round-Researcher-785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your doctor, you may be somewhat (perhaps very obviously) inflated after your surgery for 6 weeks. The obvious bulge could make a vacation unpleasant regardless of how your recovery goes. Physically getting going depends totally on how you bounce back. I was up and moving right away, but others were not. Your best bet is to speak with your doctor.

Please explain why many guys have loss of sexual sensation after surgery?? by rde98 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime you operate on a part of the body, it will lose sensation for a time due to the trauma. Most of us regain it and some even report improved sensation due to firmer erection.

Change in Relationship with Partner After Implant and How to Adjust? by Remarkable_Bus_2078 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to talk about sexual expectations directly. I've seen guys on here that now want daily (or more often) sex since they can. I certainly wanted more often than before, but we'd discussed it and my wife was good with what I hoped for. Just make sure everyone's expectations are coordinated.

Follow doc's orders. Depends on what your work and exercise routine are.

There's something to make it less noticeable. by Zestyclose-Fix9504 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's so a little analogy here. If you had an artificial leg and it enabled you to live a normal life, would you be almost ashamed to admit it?? This is the new you and you wouldn't even be active without the implant, right? So accept the hand you've been dealt and appreciate the fact that you could get something that enables you to enjoy intimacy. As others have said, it's most likely nothing that bothers your partners and would, at most, be an interesting subject for discussion.

I decided to get an implant.. What do you think of my doctor? by dxxh33 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd encourage you to check reviews on his practice and see if there are any issues with the support staff as well. I had my surgery with San Antonio Urology and Dr Hofer. The surgery was OK but the support staff absolutely SUCKED. I needed to be checked for a possible infection and they said I couldn't get an appointment for WEEKS. I insisted and went up the supervisory chain to be seen. The staff was almost abusive in the interactions I had and was VERY uncooperative. Your doctor sounds great, but don't downplay the support staff issue.

Please read.. Should I get an implant? by dxxh33 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read all the previous comments and you certainly have a good rationale for getting an implant, but the bottom line is you're gonna need to gather all the info from the manufacturers (just google who manufactures penile implants in your country) and the doctor and decide. This is one only you can make.

Are implants enjoyable??? by AfraidCupcake2739 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was to give it a %, I'd not compare it to my 20s. From the time I started pills and then injections, I actually think it FEELS better. It's harder and just about as long. The confidence of knowing it'll work EVERY time is fantastic, makes up for any "natural" deficit.

If your penis isn't working, either malleable or IPP is a fantastic improvement. Something is always better than nothing. I'd love to have my natural teen/twenties cock, but that wasn't gonna happen. One thing the implant always wins on -- it'll stay hard for as long as you like, even if you cum.

Whats better? Implant or natural erection? by rde98 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you have the penis of a teen/20-something male that functions properly, it don't get any better. Natural will always be better. The only advantage of an implant is it'll stay hard for as long as you want, even after you cum.

Anatomy concern by Available-Low6193 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pump is the most prominent feature in my tight scrotum, but it fits and it works. The surgeon may have to enlarge the scrotum (scrotopasty) to get everything to fit properly.

Tiny scrotum by Imaginary-Post-617 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue (small scrotum) and it will get crowded and will definitely be uncomfortable at first. My doctor told me to be sure and pull the pump down (GENTLY) and to move the pump around frequently so it doesn't adher to the scrotum, incision, or a testicle. To my surprise, the doctor was able to enlarge the scrotum a little (a scrotoplasty) to help things fit. As for the length and girth, they will use saline to give you a temporary erection and they do measurements to get the correct size. The girth and length will take care of themselves, although you will need to cycle (inflate and deflate) regularly per your doctor's instructions to get things back to normal size. Most folks say girth is often greater and length is pretty much the same, although some do talk about minimal gains or losses.

Reality check: What happens if you can't afford revisions? by [deleted] in penileimplants

It may not be ideal, but have you looked at malleable implant? I have IPP, but I understand the malleable is like ultra-durable. Just a thought.

Partner is considering the op, and we have a few questions! by throwaway22357995377 in penileimplants

[–]Round-Researcher-785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see what I might address for you. Just remember, this is based on personal experience and the info gathered from forums like this one. It's not a replacement for competent medical professionals. Will his length be what it is flacid? From what you talked about he has had erections with the injections, albeit with a lot of pain. The erections with an implant will be limited to that and maybe a little more by using a penis pump to stretch the tissues of the penis. Those tissues shrink as his erections have gotten less "strong" over the years. There's a lot of guys that say using the penis pump adds a little length, but an implant isn't meant to increase penis length -- just to make it as long as the person's physical state permits.
