My Titan "One Touch" valve has always been a bit finicky. Like, I have to hold it the whole time I am deflating, so it really isn't "one touch" at all. After a couple of years, though, it has started to work occasionally if I press at just the right angle and deflate a bit befor...

This is another reason I'm glad my dr. only let me put a mallabble implant in. His NP warned me that once implanted you had to "exercise" the implant almost daily yo keep the pump from riding up into your testicles. I told he I can't get motivated to go to the gym can't see me exercising ...

IMHO, yes. they're worth a try. Now, as for 5-10 years, not so much. In the meantime, use a VED to help with good blood flow.

AND...get a good urologist, and work with him/her
