Thanks Mustang for sharing your experiences with PE. I read all your posts in this thread. You have quite an interesting story to tell. You\'ve been through a lot, that\'s for sure. Maybe the most telling piece is that you now say you\'d have done nothing if you knew what you know now. Another fascinating part is that you have left the option open to undergo additional
PMMA sessions for appearance sake, or so it seems.
In my recent opening post on
PhalloBoards, I wrote about my longtime interest in PE. The thing is that I know I am vain and have fed this aspect of my personality all of my life, one way or the other.
When I was 29, I had rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum and hopefully pair down the width of my \'honker\'. Unfortunately, there was not a lot the doctor could do for my nose cosmetically way back then. He did suggest a chin implant to fix my recessive chin. It made a huge positive difference in my appearance. He used a Teflon implant. I\'ve never had any physical issues with it. IMO it could have been bigger.
It seems I physically adapt well to foreign bodies. I also have a prosthetic right testicle. It is probably made of a reinforced silicone elastomer (a rubber-like substance), which are solid if incised, or they may be gel-filled and slightly softer. Mine is not very soft. The bummer is that it is smaller than my functioning testicle. I wanted it to be larger so as to give me more bulge. Like I said, I\'m vain.
When is enough big enough? Who knows, but I\'ve been doing PE exercises and using a pump for decades. However, I\'ve not been consistent with doing them. At present, my penis is somewhere between 5.5\" and 6.5\" long when
Flaccid and 5\" to 5.5\" in
Girth, depending on the temperature. LOL. - Not much of a
Grower, maybe a half
Inch in length and
Girth. In my head, my goal is to be as big as some porn actors and/or strippers. This is not a realistic goal as far as I know.
You have spelled out in extensive detail all that you\'ve subjected yourself to. Sometimes reading about your PE experiences made me cringe. You seem relatively happy with the end result, so why would you not do it over again, minus the failed silicone implants done by Dr. Elist? The total costs for all the PE procedures you\'ve undergone seems very high and possibly ongoing.
What do you think about Dr. Maercks\' approach to
Phalloplasty? \"One of the many modalities Maercks has used to rescue damaged tissues from these techniques is a special technique of stem cell and fat grafting to restore and renew. This experience allowed him to develop the Maercks
Phalloplasty, an incisionless procedure that harmnesses the bodies own tissue to increase length by bolstering the penis further away from the body, adding
Girth and dimension to the penis and improving vascularity and sexual pleasure.\" I\'ve read that fat grafting is not permanent. Stem cell and fat grafting seems to be minimally invasive, but it is new and I suspect not fully tested. It is also expensive, around $15,000. Stem cell plastic surgery is also available in Mexico. I imagine it would cost less to have it done there.
I\'m 72 years old, probably too old to still be considering
Phalloplasty. Of course, safer procedures have only recently become available. In this past,
Phalloplasty seemed very risky, much more so then now.
