Some Questions We Asked:
How did ED affect your relationship?
The intimacy that we used to have went away. All of a sudden it was like we were completely separated. There was no connection. We wanted a permanent fix to this problem cause it was constantly getting worse.
What was the toughest part about it?
The loneliness, whew. That was tough. That really was tough, especially since we were so close. I mean, we did everything together. And then all of a sudden it was all taken away.
Did you experience an emotional component to ED?
Dealing with ED really puts a huge emotional burden on you. We know that it’s physical, but emotional devastation comes along with it. I mean, you’ve lost your manhood. I am not a man anymore. I can’t satisfy my wife. She’s not going to love me anymore. As strong as men sometimes think they are, they hurt.
Has the implant made a difference?
They should have given us this option a long time ago. We would have done it. It would have taken away so many aggravations for us. And so many arguments and discussions, and fights.
