I tried replying in a more general way, but found it difficult to say what I want in a way that doesn\'t leave lots of areas of debate, so have decided to be more specific and talk a bit of my own experiences.
I\'ve never told my whole story before as I\'ve always wanted to be able to tell it is a tale of triumph over adversity and I\'m not in a position to do so. But hopefully in the future I will be in a position to tell all. However, as many know, I had PE surgery that went badly. My main issue was I had a keloid scar that two nurses, in the biggest cosmetic surgery hospital in the UK, both independently described as the \"worst they\'d ever seen.\" It was like having a tumour growing in my groin and up the base of my penis. It totally removed all flexibility in the area so other than the fact it looked hideous, it made erections very painful. So I had a small, totally deformed and sexually redundant penis. I lived with this from mid 1997 to the end of 2001. Naturally I did regret having the surgery. But I can\'t say I was any worse off.
In the 5 years previous to the surgery, my life had been turned upside down due to penis size issues. I don\'t want to go into detail at this time, but I\'d wake in the morning and instantly feel nauseous. I\'d live my life in a totally depressive state and felt as if I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. It effected virtually every decision I ever made.
So whilst you I do regret having the surgery, as it didn\'t give me the results I wanted, I know I wasn\'t worse off. In fact, i can honestly say, that to an extent I was better off, as trying to get things corrected became my main focus. I used the thought correction and even the thought possible future surgery (I hadn\'t given up on PE despite this set back) as reasons to be hopeful. You could say it gave me a raison d\'etre. Prior to discovering that there were surgical PE options i was in such a bad state, that I don\'t think I\'m being melodramatic, if I say that had I not found out about the surgical options, I probably wouldn\'t be here today.
We all have different reasons for wanting these procedures, but some of us have far more to lose than others and conversely far more to gain. I\'ve been around forums now for a decade and have spoken with and exchanged messages and emails with hundreds of guys. I am far from alone when it comes to stories where small penis issues were literally making life unbearable. We all come from different backgrounds and environments, so it can be difficult to relate to the extent these issues can bother certain people.
