The year 1999 was the happiest year of my life. It was the year I got married and looked forward to all that marital togetherness promised, including physical intimacy. But as it turned out, these expectations were extremely short-lived. I wasn’t able to consummate my marriage despite repeated attempts. My wife and I tried to work our way through this difficulty but after a few months, she could take it no longer and our marriage ended. And I went into a state of depression for a very long time.

Five years later, in 2004, I fell in love again. Hoping that things would be different this time, I married her. After the initial period during which I was able to be intimate with her, my problem returned. Once again, my marriage was on the rocks and by the time I sought help, it inevitably ended. Two failed marriages during a ten-year period?! Nothing had prepared me for this debacle. My self-esteem and confidence were in tatters.

To make things worse I felt so ashamed that I could not get myself to tell my relatives or friends.

I had tried many things to fix this problem – visited several quacks, relied on pills for years but nothing had worked. In 2014, I heard about a clinic in Delhi that was well known for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. I was hesitant at first. When you’ve tried everything, you tend to be cynical. So I had little hope that this would help. But then, I eventually decided that there was no harm in trying.

I visited the physician, discussed my issues and learned there were several options I didn’t even know existed!

Was I scared? Worried? Doubtful? You bet. But I mustered the courage (and hope) and decided to get a penile implant to finally help with my condition, for good. Today, I can have normal erections but more importantly I am mentally and emotionally much stronger. And would you believe it? I fell in love again and will be getting married in a few months. This time, I know it will work out.
