Have you gained size after cycling stopped hurting ?

Thanks, Headair. Shorter ChatGPT is exactly what I said: neither the Titan nor the CX expand in length.

Length gains come from the tunica accommodating the implant, not from a length expansion of the implant.

I really don’t understand why this Edjohn guy is trying to pick a fight with me on multiple threads, and with demonstrably wrong information.
Born 1974. Implanted 5/21/2024. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

Don't know, my friend.

Sometimes, people can be a bit too dogmatic. I almost got into a fight with someone on this board. But, I stopped myself with the realization that neither of us is going to look good in front of the rest of the community.

So, patience.
58 year-old male. Married.
Bionic as of October 17, 2025.
Coloplast Titan. 24 cm cylinder + 1 cm RTE
Old Length = 7.25". girth is 6.5".
Started cycling on Dec 11, 2025. New length is 7.25" and my girth is 6.5" - unchanged.

Leto, thank you for the feedback, and especially your own experience. That would indicate that the change in pain may be more about healing rather than pressing the tunica to expand. Maybe the tunica is more pliable, and/or lacks nerves to register pain when the implant presses on the tissue to expand ?
From your last comment, I guess it would be fair to say that for CX's --
- gains in length come from the body, all tissue, expanding to accommodate the constant max length of the cylinders ?
- gains in girth come from the tunica (and surrounding tissue) expanding to accommodate the cylinders gradually expanding to their max possible girth ?

As for the dependent/independent distinction, keep in mind that is only for girth. Both the titan and the CX are “dependent” when it comes to length. Neither expands lengthwise.

Headair123, thanks for passing that along. That's consistent with what I've read also.

Headair123 wrote:Regarding the Titan lengthening, I did a quick ChatGPT search and this is what came back:

What “the medical establishment” says (Titan-only):
• Coloplast’s own Titan materials talk about strength and girth expansion, not length expansion. They explicitly market maximum girth expansion (up to 21 mm per cylinder) and the ability of the Bioflex cylinders to withstand high pressures (for things like manual modeling), but they don’t claim the device is designed to elongate under pressure. 
• Bench / ex-vivo commentary cited in the literature suggests “essentially no measurable cylinder lengthening” at max inflation. One review notes that at maximum inflation an 18 cm Titan remained 18 cm, i.e., no meaningful axial elongation of the cylinder itself even when filled to the top. 

Titan isn’t “length-expanding” in the mechanical sense (the cylinder doesn’t meaningfully elongate under high pressure), but max inflation over time can still translate into small real-world length gains because the body adapts (and because “length” is partly geometry and measurement technique, not just cylinder dimensions).

Leto & Headair123, I've recently had the same experience with another forum member who, when confronted with facts, responded by calling me "an old man with no girl".

LOL -- very stupid -- after all, I literally have the receipts :)

I have a conspiracy theory. I believe these accounts are reincarnations of the person, or persons, who used to operate the TooYoung account. I just don't think they want to go quietly into that good night. :)

I am not interested in fighting with anybody, but I am not just going to say nothing when people use ChatGPT to gaslight new guys and others who literally experience growth. Here is a medical study that I referenced that “demonstrably” indicates Titans lengthen beyond spec.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5654325/

Because it is a conservative amount and requires higher pressure, Coloplast doesn’t advertise it as a selling point. Likely they are trying not to give false hope as well.
Oct 7, 2025 - Coloplast Titan XL - Touch pump - 26cm - 0.5cm RTE with Jonathan Clavell. Still sorting out TRT; plan to try a "modified natty" approach without injections.

kodixx
my 2 cents is enjoy your bionic manness! pull on it, twist it, screw a lot, more gains will come with time and everything has relaxed.
67years,fighting ed for over twenty years. A sever break, vit E, pataba, Viagra, massage Ved cilas, and I'm tired- throwing in the towel, Op for implant Mar 18, 2021 AMS LGX 18 x12 + 1 3cm RTE, gained girth and length, very glad I took the hard step.
