Titan Implant with Dr. Taj - Journal

Congratulations!

Definitely looks good.

You'll definitely enjoy it. The pain will lesson over time - a LOT of time - so don't be in TOO big of a rush. Your sizing looks great! I had mine done at Chesapeake Urology (GBMC) in Baltimore by Dr. Segal. Once healed you will perform better than you ever have.

Enjoy!

Two Week Update

Haven’t posted much because things are not all that different, but each day get about 2% better. Here’s a few things I’ve noticed and have been thinking about.

Cycling – I do this for 2 hrs a day in the morning and for 30-45 min during my shower in the evening. Really tough to find the balance between pushing myself and managing pain. If I pump too much it feels like my dick is going to explode and I just can’t handle it for two hours. It’s a very distracting deep ache and sometimes pain that makes me squirm and watch the clock. More recently I’ve been taking it down a notch – I tend to push myself hard in general so it’s hard to admit that I can’t sit near my limits every day. Not sure the incremental gains of pushing so hard is worth it anyway. I’m looking forward to the day where I can pump it to rock hard without discomfort. Feels like a long time away.

Healing – My scrotum was dark purple for the first 12 days. Then I put a heating pad on it and it started to clear up right away. Much better now but still swollen (I had infrapubic incision). I can still feel some thickened tissue next to the pump but it’s easier to pump and deflate with less pain. I’m going to remove my staples in a couple of days, healing well. Still have a lot of swelling on the left side of the base where the tube run down to the scrotum.

Flaccid – I still find it very hard to find a comfortable position for my dick in my underwear. Whether I push it up, to the side, or down I am always bending the cylinders and creating a kink that I can feel under the skin. The cylinders want to be straight so bending in any direction causes discomfort. It is a bit more comfortable to keep things at 30-50% inflated. I think daily walking help because anything that flexes your cylinders helps soften them. At night though it’s rough. Almost every night I wake up with pain/discomfort because of the way it’s hanging. But during the day it varies greatly, sometimes I just can’t find a comfortable position and it hurts all the time. Other times, especially when sitting, I don’t feel anything and there is no pain. This gets just a little better each day.

Erections and size – Before surgery I was bone pressed flaccid and stretched to about 7.25. Erect was probably about 7 inches. I can’t do a bone press now because of the swelling but I’d estimate I’m at about 6.5”. Girth is similar to pre-op with 5” at the base and a max of 4.75 mid shaft. Hoping I can get the whole thing to 5” girth. My whole dick leans to the left and I have a left torsion of about 15%. I also had this pre-op so no big surprise. But it does look almost as though the right cylinder is pushing out further – but the tips in my glans are even. I do Perito bends to the right to help stretch the left side. I also have more swelling on the left and I imagine after time this will normalize.

Pump – My pump feels like it’s about in the right place, behind my left testicle. I pull on it each day. I can just get my fingers above the squared off top of the OTR so it hasn’t adhered to anything and I can kind of twist it around. I can definitely hear it when I pump – it’s a soft moaning sound, which surprises me because I though this pump was quieter. I’m getting better at not having it shoot out of my fingers too. I read that after deflating you should give the bulb a little squeeze to close the valve. I do this but it still feels like I inflate some anyway without intending. I’ve heard this could be residual fluid in the proximal cylinders. I think this will get better when swelling goes down and I can push harder. My dick does look like smashed roadkill when completely empty though. But from a distance I can’t imagine anyone would notice.

Sex – no intercourse yet but I’ve jerked off many times. Usually there is pain and pleasure at the same time. I can especially feel the pull on the pump when I clench down, a little spike of pain. I’ve also found that you can jerk off with only being at about 60-70%, makes it easier as long as you aren’t rough. Orgasms are pretty intense. I’m going to ask one of my “friends with benefits” to give me a blow job and tell me what it feels like. Being a guy, he should be a good judge how realistic it feels. He can also tell me what he thinks of my pump – what would he think it is and how much does he notice!

I could keep going…. So much to cover. I hope this helps. I’m only at 2 weeks so a long distance to go yet. I remember having so many questions – so ask away if you want.
