1 year implantation with Titan (warning pics)

Jgoody, that's a great update -- congrats to you ! Thanks for sharing.

- Chuck

Been implanted a little over a year now. Just going to share a little bit about my experience so far.

[Jgoody]

Thanks man. I hope everything is going well with you too. Been a pretty good 15 months getting used to this thing. Wife & I just went to Vegas & San Diego (celebrated 20 years) for a couple weeks & decided to hit a strip club in Vegas. Went back to a private room/dance with it pumped all the way up since I've never had a stripper dance with a raging hardon before. It was awesome.

Grateful to not have to mess with & rely on injections anymore. Sex has gotten way better & just knowing I can maintain an erection at any hardness for however long I want has become my norm now, thankfully. Recently I even finished before my wife & she wanted more so she could cum too, I laid on my back, said hop on & she did & cummed shortly afterwards. That was not possible before.

Hey Jgoody, thanks for your post it’s a great read.

I’m trying to read as many patient experiences as I can right now - I was recently diagnosed with venous leak and am assessing if I should go with an MPP on account of the reliability of the device / less failures, or if I should go with the IPP on account of the many obvious advantages (despite the risk stats on mechanical failure rates). Been researching off and on for about a year before my diagnosis too, so I feel like I’m pretty informed overall but now that the choice is coming up, it’s more overwhelming than I anticipated!

I’d been initially very focused on the MPP journals / patient experiences because I thought it might be a better choice given my age / potential number of revisions I’ll need throughout my lifetime. But it looks like my insurance might cover the procedure - which I wasn’t taking into account before - and it’s making me think maybe I should go for the IPP first and just see how I fare.

Needless to say, posts like yours are super helpful. Appreciate the holistic review of what’s good / not so good. I’m going to keep going reading more about the IPP over the next two weeks and then I have a virtual appointment with Dr Hakky where we’re going to discuss the implant as my next move.

If I ever have any questions about your own experience, would you mind if I sent you a PM?

Yeah dude of course! Message me whatever whenever & I'll answer honesty. That's dope if your insurance does cover it for you. Mine approved initially then denied coverage so I paid out of pocket, which was fuct. Set us back quite a bit. I'm in the process of appealing it so hopefully they come around & do the right thing.

I would honestly recommend the ipp for several reasons but have nothing against MPPs. I just couldn't handle a constant boner bent inward while I'm working out or doing activities. I do a lot of random sport like stuff. I like the idea of being instantly ready with a malleable but don't like the idea of undressing & it looking/moving unnatural. At least with ipp it hangs/looks & flops naturally plus can pump it up pretty quickly when needed. It also bulges nicely so looks like your hung thru certain clothing which is a confidence boost.

There's prob several pros vs cons that I'd put in favor of malleable but the most important ones for me personally, are in favor of ipp- flaccid state (which is 99% of the time), aesthetics/comfortability, the ability to adjust hardness which maximizes potential positions/type of sex to be had & maintaining size were top of the list for me.

Malleables pros are pretty obvious & you sound like a smart dude so no need for me to go over them & it wouldn't be from experience anyways. All I can say is 15 months in and I have no regrets. I definitely think we see more of the horror stories here more often which can skew our expectations of the reliability of implants somewhat. They're not perfect but I think they are pretty tough & I would get a revision if needed with the same model. I believe mine will last quite some time & I'll definitely report if there are any issues.

Good luck bruh & lmk if you have any questions for me

I sort of digress here because I think I am doing something wrong. I just can’t get my head around the difference in length measurements from bone pressed (bp) to not bone pressed (bbl) measurements.

First of all I didn’t at first realise that there was a bp measurement. I now sort of get the concept that if you are carrying a bit of weight and you pushed the ruler in the length would be obviously a bit longer. Fair enough.

I am not fat but I am not skinny and bone either. When I measure I push the ruler into the skin just a little bit to cover the bit on the edge of the ruler where the measurement actually starts from (say roughly 1/4 inch tops). I take this to be a nbp measurement. Am I correct?

But here is the thing. If I push the ruler in to try and get a bp measurement two things happen. It hurts and the ruler doesn’t dig in too much further, say another 1/4 inch. So guessing in my case the difference between a bp and a nbp measurement is say 1/2 inch absolute tops (but most likely a little less than that.

So I might as well ask, what am I doing wrong?

As an aside I like the concept of nbp measurements because that is what one sees.

[Jgoody]

I didn't know about bone pressed measurements either until being on this site. After some thought tho it makes sense to me because you'd get a more accurate measurement universally this way because some may push into skin/fat pad a little & some may not thus skewing results more. I'd agree that non-BP is more accurate in terms of usable penis as well.

I'm definitely no expert is measuring tho as I only first measured bone pressed right before surgery for comparison post op. I had measured in the more distant past before but was only measuring actual dick, so non BP. I think pressing in adds almost a half inch for me as well currently which puts me just over 7.5". Right before surgery I was at 8" off a bimix injection.

I'm not sure on your pain as I don't have any when I press in. Was your surgery done infra pubic? I'm sure someone else can be more helpful than me in this tho

[Wodjathat]

Mine was with the incision made just above where the penis joins the body on the pubic bone. I think it is called the infra pubic approach.

No doubt that adds to my hesitancy to push a ruler too much down in that area.

Totally agree that the bp approach would give a universally more consistent accurate readings. But to me the more relevant length measurement is what you see if that makes sense.

Ironically I told myself prior to the IPP that I really didn’t care if I lost a bit of length as a trade off for hardness. But I seem to be measuring quite a bit!

Guys, I may be in the minority here, but I think BP means more because that's what my wife feels -- the fat pad gets out of the way when thrusting hard

Hi all,
I’m a 51 year old male with ED for the past few years. Pills don’t work for me anymore, and I don’t want to push higher doses because I have tinnitus. I have a consultation for an implant on October 23, and I’m hoping for some advice.
Question: About 10 years ago I had silicone injections for girth enhancement. Could that be a problem for the surgeon when placing an implant? Has anyone here had an IPP after prior silicone, and how did your surgeon handle it?
Thanks very much for any insight.

[Nick74]

Your implant looks great, sir wishing you the best in your journey
