@ Marinera: if you scroll down further in that thread you’ll see that the majority of other people disagree with him completely. They even scoff at the notion that the Ellist implant is anywhere near the feeling of the PMMA. What can feel ‘fake’ or ‘rubbery’ during the flaccid or semi erect state is excessive amounts of 30% concentration PMMA (the heaviest concentrate - it’s also offered at 10% and 20%). If you read around, you’ll find that the vast majority of people have no problem with the realism of even the 30% - but of the aesthetic complaints that their are, most are from lots of 30% not the lesser percentages (usually). All around, the reports of realism have really been surprising. You read around and it sounds too good to be true. And maybe it is, 30 years down the line as you said. But for now, for me, it was the best solution.
If you want to know more about the procedure, I suggest the forum I posted. I weighed my pros and cons and thought I chose the best option for myself. But I’m still learning and reading every day - it’s just like PE, if not more important and critical to study for months and months before possibly undertaking. Lots of knowledge to be had. And also plenty of discussions about possible complications, infections, granulomas, etc - luckily situations that everyone there has avoided in any critically serious fashion (I can think of maybe three moderate complications, all of which were resolved or stabilized with still happy people on the other side).
So for the long term, yes it is a gamble. Cannot argue with you there sir. But so far, aesthetically-wise and sensitivity-wise, it’s by far the best option (though still not spot on perfect, but what is?)
@ Quajiro: I agree, silicone injections are scary, and are offered today for the penis (I’ll take a pass after seeing that lady who lost her arms and legs due to silicone injections in her already perfectly delicious black booty). So damn sad to see. But this stuff is not silicone - it is far from it. It is PMMA or Polymethylmethacrillate. I might be one or two letters off there, but google it. Pretty cool stuff (until it turns my dick cancerous and black in 10 years OMFG I hope not…*comes back 10 years later with no dick and reads this**. Look into it more and do your own research if you want, there is a TON to know. Has a much better track record than silicone, although not perfect in the early days due to poor insertion technique (sharp needle instead of blunt cannula, which raises the risk of injection into a vein or artery resulting in an embolism that has caused some nasty cases of necrosis in the past when used in the face near artery rich areas, etc (not the deep fascia of the penis). If you do your research you’ll see why many people feel this decision is not as much of a risk as silicone in many parts of the body (although none of us really can ‘know’ in the long term, that’s for sure). Short term tho…FUCK silicone lol.
@idomin: That is a solid point, and one reason why I’m considering waiting a full two years (instead of just one) before getting this procedure. I want this shit to be HEALED before I get something so permanent injected into my dick. WIll give the procedure some time to develop and evolve and more progress reports to come out as well. As I said, this has only been ‘popular’ since around 2011. A very new procedure so the long term effects in the penis (its a technique called Penile Bioplasty, using PMMA injectables) are completely unknown. So far, the short term effects are genuinely, usually, great. So it’s a tradeoff for the complete unknown and really risking it all. But you have to weigh your risk and reward ratio. Personally, my life wouldn’t be much better with no dick, so a dick of any girth I want proves to be an immense possible reward. Who knows, I may pay for it down the road. I pray for me, and for anyone with a skinny dick years and years in the future, that it proves a good solution in the end.
