At last, my penile implant

Should have chosen the normal size implant and not gone for "hung like a horse" option!

15 day update

I was kept in hospital for 6 nights.  The pain was something else.  I had 14 doses of oromorph on top of my other pain relief.

Pain management has been difficult.  I found standing and walking very challenging.  Gravity is the enemy.  Your scrotum hangs lower and heavier with an implant in it.

Saw my surgeon 2 days ago.  The swelling and bruising is almost gone.  Not totally though.  But surgeon happy and feels that the surgery has been a success....I am a slow healer.

I have had moments where I seriously wondered if I had done the right thing.  Hopefully, as time goes by, it will prove to have been worth it.

The past two weeks have not been easy.  Other men may have had an easier time.  

One funny thing.  I asked the surgeon if the pump could be deflated as my two week erection was tired and sore.  I was told the pump was deflated.  I argued and said it couldn't be deflated as I was rock hard.  Surgeon had another rummage around and laughted.  Turns out I was deflated - my penis is swollen solid.  I was told not to worry.  I'll go flaccid soon enough.

Launch date postponed until end of July to allow more time for healing.

Christ I’m cringing reading this. Good luck mate honestly and hope it’s all worth it. I’m almost grateful I’m on HT now and not that bothered …..

May I ask why you went for penile implants? Is it an artificial penis and you have to repeat the surgery every so often?

No, it is usually an inflatable tube inserted inside the penis with a control switch in the scrotum. It can make the penis hard enough for penetration. See here - https://www.universityurology.com/erectile-dysfunction/penile-implant/

There is another type which rather than being inflatable is like a rod with a hinge half way down. you fold it down when you don't need it and fold it up when you want an erection. The problem with that type is that there is no increase in girth, just a flaccid penis with something like a pencil running through the middle.

Generally speaking, penile implants are a risky surgery which a man needs to consider very carefully; if it goes wrong, there is no possibility of erections in the future.

Thanks a lot Lynn. Wow, sounds like something out of sci-fi. Seems like it is still in its infancy and a relatively new procedure. 

Might consider if I was in my 30s/40s, but close to 60? Doubt it.😄😄

I went for the surgery because I am relatively young, 51.  And you only get 5 invicorp injections per month on the NHS.  5 erections per month.

My recovery has been deeply unpleasant.  Slow and painful.

I don't activate the pump until 27 July.  Only then will I know if it really works.  If it all works well, then I'm sure I'll say the pain was worth it

I wish you a quick recovery and all the best in your recovery. You are right 51 is relatively young. I am 57 with a wife under 50, consider myself young at heart. The longest I have been without sex is the 7weeks since my surgery. However, I am hopeful. Good luck and thanks for keeping us informed!

Well, who would have thought that the RMT would prevent me getting my erection?  The launch date has been postponed because of the rail strike.  I can't guarantee I can get to London and the hospital can't guarantee all their staff can get in.

I'll keep you all posted once launch has been achieved.

Personally I have always found trains quite exciting
User

The LNER train guard once had to close off a whole carriage to the rest of the passengers while I stripped naked and had gel smeared on me by the buffet car man!

I also once was running for a train (late as usual) and my very beautiful (aka expensive) stilleto heeled shoe fell between the train and the platform. Before anyone could blink, a total stranger dived down under the train and reappeared holding my shoe aloft like the Olympic torch. Guard was not happy :-/

I really like trains!

Was this all on the same trip? Were you completely naked or did you keep the stilettos on? What flavour was the jelly, and was it served with custard or cream?

Next time you book a train ticket, can you book one for me as well?

I think Lyn has been dreaming again! I certainly will now!

Was it a Pendalino? Cross country? Or an old (comfortable) Inter City? If you are going to do train porn you have to give us all the info!

🤣🤣🤣

Two different trips. I believe that in both cases, the train would have been an intercity 225 as the Azuma had not been released then.

Totally naked ... had to take my shoes off so they could remove my trousers!

Oi you guys.  Start your own thread.  Imagine if my mummy reads about naked women on trains lol

User

Sorry Ulsterman.

Just to reassure your mum, I had been scalded by a woman passing me with a boiling cup of tea which she then tipped over me. The gel was burn gel to minimise the damage.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
