How often are you inflating your implant?
For sex, masturbation or just because....how many times a week are you cycling your implant?
I've just recently read that daily cycling helps keep the pump well lubricated. I had not heard that before but after reading that and some more research....I've seen it said many times.
I personally am inflating mine about 4 times a week.
How about you?

Re: How often do you inflate your implant?
Several times a day at least. Whether I have sex, masturbate or not I still pump it up and cycle as often as I can. Still do 10-15 minutes in the shower twice a day. Other times are very brief. It doesn't take long to quickly pump then deflate, but I also try to fit in a couple of hour plus cycling sessions per week if time and commitments permit. Sex is usually 3 times a week on average for about an hour. Overall I'm giving it a solid workout I think. As I have absolutely zero erectile function without the implant my concern is around atrophy if I don't have a solid regime, since there is no natural engorgement of any kind whatsoever. I also wasn't aware of the pump lubrication thing.

Re: How often do you inflate your implant?
I assume this question is specifically for ongoing maintenance after the first year +/- breaking in period.
With my first Titan; I pumped it up to max and held it for approx 1 hour 3x per week. That plus occasional sex at 80% inflation seemed to comfortably maintain things size wise. I plan to work towards the same routine with the new implant as soon as I’m cleared to start cycling.
I can’t speak to pump lubrication because my classic pump doesn’t have the 3rd valve. As I understand, It’s the MS and Touch pumps, with the one button release, that are more prone to sticking if not routinely exercised.

Re: How often do you inflate your implant?
2-4 times per day. Mostly for sex and masturbation, but if I'm not having sex that day I'll just pump it to max for at least 30min once or twice.
I like it hard for sex, about 90% or more. For masturbation it's more like 60-70%.

Re: How often do you inflate your implant?
I pump usually a couple times per day, and hold it for about an hour each time. Also usually pump at least every other night. Like how it feels to stay erect, and also like to be ready when we decide to play for awhile before falling asleep. 
74, ED 25+ yrs, 2 Prostate surgeries. can't ejaculate, but great Orgasms
Tried Viagra, TRIMIX, CaverJet Inj, then nothing worked. Contacted another Urologist, Dr Kansas, Austin TX. Implanted an AMS700LGX: 18cm x 12mm w/2cm rte, 3/26/24.
So far so good.

Pump to 85% - 95% for sex ~5 times per week. Pump to 100% for an hour, with lots of progressive mini-pumps, every 2 or 3 days.

Re: How often do you inflate your implant?
It's nearly 2 years since my installation, and I still pump it up at least once every day. Probably good for the mechanics, but I just like having a woody!
Recently, I feel like I was short-changing myself, as I now continue to pump after the bulb is hard. I used to stop when it was hard, figuring that's it! But with an extra dozen or so pumps afterward, my buddy is a bit firmer and points above 3 o'clock. That could be the reason I lost a quarter to a half-inch in length. Could I possibly gain still, after 2 years? We'll see.

Had ED for about 25 years, and used pills, then injections, until implant in 2024, following bout with cancer. Implant is AMS 700CX, 21 cm, no RTE, on 6/3/24 at age 65. Thank you, Medicare!
