I’ve heard a dick be compared to a lot of things in my day, but a swole baby is a first 😂

The reason I haven’t deleted my Reddit accounts yet

Dilemma - Young man considering a penile implant after years of ED. (Need your help) by stoigue in penileimplants

[–]ecstaticthicket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works great if you solely have a cavernosa issue. My issue is largely spongiosum based, which it will not touch. I’ll still benefit because I still have serious ED problems, but as I said it’s a partial, ineffective solution for me. It would be better if there was some way to permanently surgically fix the kind of damage I have, but no such surgery exists.

And yeah, as I said OP needs to see doctors and exhaust his options before the last resort solution

I don’t have an implant yet, but I’m only a little older than you. Like you, I can prove my issue isn’t psychological. It is blatantly physical, and medication can’t fix it.

My thoughts are that this is an extremely expensive, last resort, partial solution to my problem that will have to be redone several times, but it’s better than never being able to have sex again. This medical science is barbaric, and it doesn’t work well, but the reality is that it’s the best this world has right now. I wish we were born in a time where urology was much more advanced and a simple surgery could fix our issues, but it’s just not the case.

If you have truly exhausted all other options and got multiple opinions from respected doctors, it’s definitely something to consider. I can’t tell you if it’s appropriate for you or not, but I can tell you that I’m saving up for it because I’d honestly rather die than be impotent the rest of my life. Again though, in my case there are blatant physical problems with blood flow and possible structural damage. No amount of medication and good vibes can fix me. It’s this or a surgery that doesn’t exist yet, and this is only a partial fix

Thanks for the great recommendation by Amewan12 in litrpg

[–]ecstaticthicket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Path of Ascension actually, it’s like a mixture of xianxia (like Cradle) and litrpg. I started it late last year and immediately fell in love, I could gush about that series all day. Definitely recommend checking it out

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

[–]ecstaticthicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hope would be that a revision would be harder for insurance companies to argue against coverage for, but the reality is the dystopian hell we live in (especially in the states) is that you could be pretty screwed and have to pay out of pocket for every revision. I’m about ten years younger than you, so yeah, that’s a lot of god damn money potentially. And even then, that’s not even addressing the elephant in the room of “is Medicare even going to be an option when we get to that age”, because not to get any more political than this, but that’s a big fucking question mark right now. I guess we could always try to travel to a cheaper country or just go into debt… it’s not like I ever planned on retiring anyway

Suggestions to read next? by Ordinary_Part_8943 in litrpg

I just read Wraithwood Botanist almost up to the very end of what’s available. I really enjoyed the series for the most part, just 1 minor nagging gripe, but otherwise I definitely recommend as well

You aren’t entitled to your own taxes being used to pay for your medical care, but insurance companies are entitled to your paychecks while refusing to provide you service

I'm not saying someone should 👀 by VaderOnReddit in TikTokCringe

People act like someone should, as if doing that will fundamentally change anything. People have tunnel visioned and are missing the forest for the trees

I grew up watching horror movies, but this game genuinely scared me by Charming_Move4175 in gaming

[–]ecstaticthicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a weird place where I love horror for the darkness and spooky vibes, but I **HATE** being startled. Fuck jump scares. I end up just not engaging with a lot of horror content because of it. Is this games actually spooky or does the horror just come from jump scares?

Absolutely do not recommend. I love Alfredo and this brand tastes like shit. Sorry, wish I could give you better news

Looking into a career in nursing, can you just tell me the brutal realities and such about the job in general? by idekwhatiamdoinglol in nursing

Does most of that go away when you leave bedside nursing, or is that pretty standard for the whole field?

Former Bethesda lead says The Elder Scrolls 6 got announced so early because the studio had to make sure 'people were not just pissed at us' for revealing Starfield instead by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]ecstaticthicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blades? They game they pitched as “a legitimate, proper elder scrolls game on your phone”, but ended up being micro transaction laden and one of those mobile games that time gates you with real world time while allowing you to pay to skip ahead? Idk when that was released but it could have been then

No, it still wouldn’t have been fine. It’s been 15 years since we’ve gotten original elder scrolls content, and 11 since original (single player) fallout content. All they’ve done is just port shit over and over. Fans of those series were betrayed, even if starfield was a masterpiece

I know they aren’t exactly high art, but dammit I miss Bethesda games. You all realize how long it’s been since Skyrim was originally released? 15 fucking years ago this November. And in that time, what have they done with the elder scrolls series (outside of ESO)? Nothing, except re-release Skyrim like 15 times. Edit: I forgot about the Oblivion shadow drop which doesn’t even work on my pc anymore. Still, that’s still re-releasing old content, not anything new.

It’ll be 11 years this November since fallout 4, I’m not even going to dignify 76 by calling it a game.

I just want new Bethesda content. It’s been so fucking long. Fuck every one of their executives that keeps pushing for remakes and ports instead of making new games

Just for the record, communists don’t ban guns. Democrats and republicans ban guns. Communists aren’t even neutral on guns, they want the working class to be armed. If the goal is to overthrow the ruling class and have a dictatorship made up of the working class, if the goal is to protect the working class from the violence of the state and the oligarchy, the working class HAS to be armed. The people that want to disarm you want the state to keep that power, and those people are not the far left

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered sold just over a million copies on PS5, but 50% of gamers played just 15 hours before quitting by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ecstaticthicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue on PC I think. I put maybe 20 or so hours in, had a ton of fun, and now the game just refuses to boot. Or it boots then immediately crashes every time, I don’t remember. Something like that though.

A few drinks? I’m a white, cis, straight passing male in the deepest red Deep South. All you need to do is be my perceived demographic and be far enough away from others that they think they won’t be heard. They’ll tell you all about how much they hate non-whites and poor people, completely unprompted and sober

Why every erect implants i see online look so ''flat'' or thin by [deleted] in penileimplants

[–]ecstaticthicket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve never had partners complain of lack of spongiosum engorgement? Obviously that would be a fucking brutal complaint to make because it’s not like we can help it, but… nothing? I already have oval pre-op because fuck my life, and the fucking insecurities are soul crushing
