Has Anyone Not Gained Length From Cycling?

AntonS, I also heard some caution about VED when I asked my Dr about that, he said they work hard to get the sizing (length of implant and number of RTE's) just right so there's no floppy glans and so the tips don't go too far into the glans. So he cautioned that anything that would stretch the length of the tissue might make the cylinders/RTE's too short for the stretched space, and that the rapid spikes in PSI might affect the tubing, joints, cylinders and pump. As a result I haven't used VED post-op.

Regarding the pain in the right side of your pelvis, I have no experience or knowledge. I know there's a procedure to use a pad or mesh between the tips of the cylinders and glans in the event of erosion there. Maybe that same pad or mesh could be used at the proximal end ?

I think this idea {Perito exercises} is dangerous due to the potential for tube breakage due to the pressure from the hard edges of the pump. I'm now very actively pumping and compressing the cylinders twice a day for an hour, sometimes even a little longer. The only pain is in the right proximal region, even after deflating. It feels like the right RTE is pressing on my varicose veins on the right side of my pelvis, and I can feel the veins in my right leg starting to pulsate. What do you guys think about this?

Did you basically just say that anything that stretches the length of the tissue will potentially damage the implant? Again I reiterate - the whole length thing is very confusing.

Irish Lad 34, LOL love the food analogy ! I'm no expert, so please take with a grain of salt. My CX cylinders expand in length all the time. When deflated, or mostly deflated, my flaccid length is 6". When I inflate the cylinders expand in length such that I'm 7". I don't think anything but the cylinders are pushing me from 6" to 7", especially since the tips remain in about the same place in the glans.

I understand they expand in girth but can't understand the physics behind them expanding in length. It's easy to see how the penis might become wider as they push against the walls of the penis, but I don't see how they will become longer if they are already stretched to their full length. A little bit like a human being - pump it full of food and he/she will get fatter but not taller.

Irish Lad 34, well to be clear, I'm only relaying a concern that my Dr talked to me about. He was concerned that the stretch might create a size mis-match between the max length of the cylinders/RTE's versus the tissue. That makes sense to me, but I also know that lots of guys have successfully used VED without any issues. Also to be clear, any potential damage to the implant parts was related to PSI spikes from bending at max inflation. That also makes sense to me, but again I know that lots of guys have successfully used Perito exercises without any issues.

I agree with you and think using a pump after surgery is too much. Regarding the posterior RTE on the right, I just think it will go away with time. And thanks for describing how the CX works in the previous post. I think the CX remains the most optimal and best implant on the market right now. It has its minor drawbacks, but the Titan certainly has more.
