More than 450 men were given free bionic penises by the NHS last year when they failed to respond to Viagra.
Many of the 458 men who received the £8,000 surgery were cancer survivors and patients with type 1 diabetes who had been affected by their illnesses.
The average age of recipients in 2017/18 was 57, with around 70 patients in their 30s and 40s having the operation, reports the Sun.
Dr Geoff Hackett, former president of the British Society of Sexual Medicine, said: 'The penile prostheses work quite well. Most men are pretty pleased with the results.'

He added that many of the men given the bionic penis had tried other remedies and this was their last treatment to try.
Penile prosthesis implantation involves the surgical insertion of a rod or cylinder inside the penis.
This can be a malleable rod or an inflatable hydraulic system which can allow the penis to become rigid.
A prosthesis is a final treatment option for end stage erectile dysfunction.
NHS England estimate 1 in 10 men in the UK has a problem related to having sex.
An NHS spokesman told the Sun: 'Ministers have agreed that from April, NHS England should commission the surgery as it is clinically efficient.'
At the moment the operation is only available in some commissioning groups.
In June Andrew Wardle successfully underwent the final stage of a £50,000 penile implant operation at University College Hospital London.
Doctors told Andrew, 46, he must wait six weeks before having sex with his long-term girlfriend Fedra Fabian.

Surgeons in London used skin from Andrew's arm and took nerves from his back and other places in his body to give his bionic penis sensation.
He had a 'three-week erection' after the surgery was finally completed, so all the new skin could be properly stretched.
Andrew, from Manchester was born with bladder exstrophy, a rare birth defect that means the organ formed on the outside of his body.
Although he has one testicle, the one-in-20-million condition meant Andrew was born without a penis.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
