yes, there are positive effects of the implant that go beyond the bedroom....it is just amazing to have that inward confidence that you could have provide a sex session that might be "the best of that woman's life." It is a secret that keeps you going, and it improves your outlook on, well...

Hi Treetop: 1) regarding diameter of the implant, as shown on the below screenshot from a Titan Advertisement, the titan max diameter is 22mm per cylinder. The AMS is 18mm per cylinder. That is a very big difference. If you currently have big girth, then you really do need the bigger titan diameters...

Edward Karpman, MD at El Camino in Mountain view does perhaps 200 per year and is talented. The only downside is that he is quite partial to AMS (though many would say that this is an advantage). Also, he uses infrapubic incision (and that can means getting the pump position just right can be diffic...

regarding my recovery , it was crazy fast and good...I guess I was lucky. I have posted this timetable in the past, but it sounds like there are those who are interested again in possible recovery times, so here were my milestones: For me, here is a description: day 3, travel from NYC back to califo...

Hi Warren: I understand how difficult the decision can be. There are so many stories of problems here on franktalk that I too would likely be pretty scared. I think that you need to realize that 90 percent of implant patients are "satisfied". We do not read about them in general here on fr...

Well......as promised, WilliamB (dave) gave the math test to many honorable Franktalk members, he collected the blue test books, and here are some of the more entertaining answers: find x.jpg 8 or 5.jpg Of course, out of respect, I will never divulge the identity of which franktalk members submitted...

Maxxxxx writes...... the titan failures always affect....the tubes ( leackage with the conseguece of the flat pump)...I think the problem is on the tubing .. Agreed, it is often mentioned that that the most common point of failure for Titan is where the tubes go into the pump. Titan released the Ti...

While researching this, up popped an add for coloplast (you gotta love those cookies and google algorithms !) This is advertisement, but in my opinion the 17% better girth claim is true (I have had only one implant, and it is a coloplsat titan -- I like it a bunch, and so does my wife): coloplast ad...

Here is a graph (posted previously by me on franktalk with vigorous discussion) comparing coloplast and AMS survival rates (They are similar) survival.jpg Figure 1: 5 year survival of coloplast Titan versus AMS 700CX. Approximately 90% of implants were still functioning at 60 months (5 years). There...

regarding the question: "how long do implants last ?" This is fairly well studied in the literature. Here is a graph from a paper regarding AMS cx: AMS survival rate (ji et al).png Figure 1: Survival curve for the AMS cx. This shows that the implant has an 80% chance of lasting 100 months ...
