TOPIC: What is your gut feeling about pmma in the long term

wemustbecrazy - I concur with your sentiments above. I, too, have developed ED after my PMMA. My head is much smaller that the shaft thus I am looking for a procedure to enlarge. I\'m not 100% sure if that is the reason for my ED because I used to put it down to anxiety about my struggle to make my penis look presentable after a bad first procedure. So I think my ED is psychological too. But I also have weak erections while masturbating. I can feel the bumps and unnaturalness and it messes with my head into a negative thought process. I think with a women, it comes down to both. Less stimulation of the glans and my psyche. It\'s a tough cycle to break.

I wouldn\'t pursue Phalloplasty with gut feelings. Ever.

They would have to be pretty weak to not be able to handle pulling up a Dick, like the pelvic muscles of a mouse ?

Could the ED problem come with the extra weight of your penis and having weak pelvic muscles?

Indeed your case sounds similar to mine though I haven\'t used anything other than Viagra, as 95% of the time that alone will work for me. The few times that it hasn\'t I just chalk it up to fatigue. Is it the same for you whether or not you use a condom? I can perform much better without a rubber. When I\'ve had a regular partner and as long as my arousal level is high enough I can usually do the deed with taking any v bareback. So I\'m thankful for that at least. Hopeful once I finally decide to settle down I might be able to enjoy a normal sex life lol. But with a condom on, everything goes to shit.
I\'m not the resident expert around here on Removal but I\'d leave that as a final option, but I\'m sure you already know that. At the same time having more treatments isn\'t ideal either. Another PMMA touchup could make it better or worse. There\'s less of a chance of having a bad aesthetic result with the Silikon micro drops but it has another problem, the more you get the less firm you become. My penis feels noticeably more squishy, just the outside layer mind you, after having two silikon touchups(10cc total). Hopefully the Iodine and DMSO will treatments will do the trick. Regrading that, do you know if you have to keep up the treatments indefinitely or if it eventually soften up the nodules permanently? I have a couple of very hard nodules near the base that I\'ve been thinking about getting removed for the longest time. The good thing is they\'re not visible but bad thing is I sometimes feel a dull aching pain from the area. It\'s been like that with no changes since I first noticed them about 2 years ago. I was going to book a HA treatment for the glans the summer but I\'ve backed off that idea for now. Primarily because the results so far just haven\'t been all that significant. I\'m not sure the likely small increase is worth taking a chance that it may desensitize the glans even more.

There have been some published studies on Kegels\'s exercises helping Erection quality so worth considering. Shockwave therapy seems to be the new treatment for ED. There are plenty of studies and even the Urological Society of America seem to list it as an evidence based treatment. Not sure why there are not clinics on every street corner offering it - but would not be surprised to see them over the next few years.

Have you tried Kegel exercises? Suppose to be good for ED.

Also if your BMI is over 25 this can lead to poorer EQ. Get it closer to 22 and see if there is improvements.

I started doing the plank exercise a few months ago. Was only able to do it for 40s when I started. Now I can do it for 3mins and I think a side effect has been a stronger EQ. Breath in through your nose when doing it . It is very good for breathing which leads to better blood flow.

\"Your best is to go for a mindset gain so you don\'t dwarf the glans\"
Agree with ya on that

It was offered when I was last there officially. And he didn\'t bring it up or I would have went for it. From what I read and seen from one other poster, the gain is minuscule. Nothing is gonna make a 7\" mid shaft look good with 4.5\" glans. I have an odd looking penis and I\'m stuck with it.

Glans enlargement is unfeasible at this point pretty much. Your best bet is to only go for a modest gain so you don\'t dwarf the glans.

I eat very healthy and exercise. I am going to get my T checked soon. I put on muscle and feel fine so I doubt it\'s that but it could be. No processed foods.

what about silkon by DR C for making the gland bigger. I feel like i have a small gland as well. mine is only 1.75\" wide at the flare. I\'m trying to figure out my best path with PMMA and having a small gland. I\'m not sure what to do.

as far as your ED goes. are you on testosterone? what about your diet and cardio? do you drink or smoke? do you lift weights? do you eat lots of veggies? do you eat processed foods?

Wow we sound to have the exact same issues down to a T. I\'m also the same age as you and didn\'t start getting ED until after all the PMMA. I am also like 4.5ish at the glans and 7ish mid shaft. As you, I did not want to get this big. But my first procedure was a disaster(check my picture history) and I needed more and more procedure to even it out. I also did the silicone smoothing procedure. It didn\'t help all that much and my result is far from smooth but better than before. I have some hard ball like things in many places and some hard chunks that are extremely papable.

I fully regret my decision having this done the way I did. My penis looks stupid and now my erections are weaker then a 70 year old. I would do it again, however. But just 10% and small sessions. I suggest that to anyone that asks. I also have a loose Circumcision so my tiny glans disappear in the hotdog bun of PMMA when Flaccid.

Hopefully, we can figure this out. I have even contemplated getting it removed since darkstaff did it successfully. I\'m just too scared it could end up looking worse and with skinny Girth. My next plan is to get Iodine and DMSO and try to make the hard chunks soften up. I read some reports that it can help with ED. I also take every supplement that has been known to help ED. Not helping much. But combined with viagra, I can get 80% Erection that allows me to have sex.

I\'m still looking into glans enlargement using HA but want to wait until I see more results. Anyways good luck, lets keep posted if we find any improvements. Cheers

@Mustang202While I\'m not having sex with beautiful slim women every single day, it\'s often enough that I know it\'s not the women that are the problem. I\'ve been with some very attractive women lately and I\'ve still had these issues. I can honestly say it\'s not psychological because never in my life have I felt more conformable around women and more confident in myself than I do now. Also before I started this journey I never had any ED problems with attractive women(or otherwise lol), while wearing a rubber or even when under the influence of alcohol. Maybe it\'s simply age? I guess that\'s a possibility, but I would hope not. I\'m only in my early 30\'s and it\'s only been 3 years since my non-issue pre-pmma days.
@chesterThat\'s not what I\'m saying. I know that no matter how big the shaft is it\'s not going to cause a vagina to be gaped open or something. But there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I\'m feeling less fiction against my glans when having sex and this over a reasonably large sample size of time and partners. It has also gotten progressively worse with increased girth but it didn\'t get to the point of needing pharmaceutical\'s until I got close to the end of my journey after the last session, had the silikon glans treatment and went over 7(MSEG). The glans enhancement with silikon was done by Dr.C. and while my EQ did get noticeably worse after that they also added a large amount silikon to the shaft to touch up several areas. This actually added a surprising amount of overall girth(0.25) So that could be just as much more girth less=fiction than anything to do with the silikon in the glans or shaft. Plus the EQ issues had already start with just pmma before that session.

Also for the record that girth was not entirely by choice. My penis looked like it went through a freakin meat grinder after the first couple of sessions and that left me with only two options - removal and all the risks associated with that or \"the only way to go is up\" option, keep getting treatments in the hopes of eventually getting everything evened out. I choose option 2 and thankfully things worked out for me but I ended up with a much larger girth than I wanted. 7+inch girth is at times problematic for the kind of women I\'m interested in; pretty 20-somethings. That\'s why I\'m certain it comes down to one of two things; A) either something got messed up/damaged during one or more of my procedures. At one point I had a serious infection underneath the penile skin but the sensitivity didn\'t seem like it changed after that scary episode, I suppose it could of taken a while for the effects to be felt?
Or it\'s the girth/total volume of pmma > my shaft increases dramatically to about 6.5inch circumference just about an inch behind the glans meanwhile my glans are only 4.5inch! so logically would it not make sense that this would = less tightness and therefore less friction from the side walls of the vagina against the glans?

I tend to agree with Mustang about psychological ED in 90 percent of the cases. I\'ve experienced this myself when I thought I injured myself with manual PE. As far as PMMA, unfortunately the only evidence we have on the effect on EQ is a very small poll of 39 people. There were 5% who claimed EQ was worse post-PMMA in the 10 and 20 percent concentrations and 12% who had 30 percent PMMA. Too small to make a sound judgement on, however combined with other negative effects that have been reported it seems to me to give some indication of 10 percent PMMA being somewhat less risky.

While I believe that excessive PMMA has the potential to cause ED issues, female anatomy disqualifies the theory of vaginal tissue being \"pushed away\" from the glans by a bigger shaft. Vaginal walls don\'t work like an elevator, whose doors open to the widest width of the entrant or obstruction. Instead, the vaginal cavity conforms in concave fashion to whatever is inserted. Hence, deeper vaginal wall portions, such as those bordering an inserted glans, \"cave in\" to accommodate the smaller glans. Plenty of guys out there with small glans-to-shaft ratio without ED. However, I believe it would stand to reason that excessive PMMA can effect Erection quality, just based on common sense.

The thicker the sock, the less cold you feel.

In addition to psychological, I would add cardiovascular, to the short list of culprits.

I doubt that PMMA causes ED or contribute to it ,in most cases, I am thinking. I venture to say that ED is 90% psychological in many cases than physical.

Hey, get me a new different beautiful slim lady every day, and I guarantee I\'ll have great Erections with every one of them!!! I know I will, how about you?
