Second Titan Failure happened 2 days ago during hard sex.

[principles]

Yep, I didn't have to pay for the Titans.

Both are the highest volume IPP surgeons in the country, but not necessarely high volume as in the US, I'd say medium volume. Most PP's implanted here are malleable devices.

Hello bud , i have a tactra and i cant recall any buckling . i see you had 13mm rods as well . is the length causing the buckling ? What was the over length of your tactra .? [oh never mind its in your signature -23 , so if you dont mind , what is your penis erection length ? . that might be the issue with the buckling} mine is 21 cm and a little over 6 inches in length .
the only thing i haven't tried is anal [ and i aim not interested, i have done that before back in the day , with 2 different girls and its not my thing ]
but just the other night i had a fwb come over, and her favorite thing is to ride me cowgirl, and she likes to go at it good , she came twice so no complaints from here on stiffness .
When she grabbed it to sit on it, she wasn't all that wet on the outside ,so it went in with some friction , but it stayed straight . And i like doggie , no problems with that either.
ill say my natural erection was better when it was in good working order, but you know, that got to be a project.
so what was it that did cause buckling ?
When you had the tactra implanted ,did you maintain the same girth you had with the ipp inflated and get engorgement when in the mood ? less girth , less stiffness ?
too bad tactra doesn't make 14 and 15 mm rods as well . 13mm is not a universal fit .
for concealment , you already have experienced with that aspect , but for me when i wear cargo shorts ,its not at all noticeable . they are probably looser fitting than slacks though

I just reread my own thread from when I had the Tactra trying to better recall my perception back then. For reference:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22405

I believe (and hope) that the buckling I experienced was related to how my tissues were post-infection. I didn't have alot of rigidity (not necessarely in the shaft) but at the base (proximal part), and some angles made this lack of axial rigidity very prominent.

Girth wise, with natural tumescence enhanced/preserved by a cockring, I don't recall losing much girth with the Tactra. I don't have measurements from back then, but length was definitely hit, as I went from 25cm with my first implant, to 26cm from the revision, back to 23cm post-infection, and that was fine. The most important for me is/was the rigidity and performance of the implant.

This is interesting principles, and now I’m going to dig through the FT forum to see if I can find anything similar from guys who have had salvage malleable placed. Maybe other guys have had buckling issues on account of recovery from infection?

so you are not in the US ? if you did decide on a malleable ,maybe you could get the ridgi10 /14mm rods for better stiffness .

Why are you wearing a cock ring w an implant? I would imagine a ring would put extra pressure on the tubing

I think it’s more for if you have an MPP - there’s been a few guys here who have malleables and have found that a cock ring has helped a bit with their girth, since it helps with retaining the natural engorgement that’s still there.

So sorry to hear of your pump failure. Lots of good discussions here. When I have my implant fitting. I had decided to go with an MPP (most likely Rigicon), but I will ask the surgeon if I can handle some different implants

[neisseriaceae]

Sorry to hear this new failure Principles.
I have a similar story. Also had andi nfection and i can tell that most in this Forum underestimates how ugly it is.
My second Titan lasted 5.5 years, with concious use, just for sex. I had always the fear of failure.
This year for the revision i decided to go for mpp, the Rigi10.
Im really happy with the outcome. As You said, with a cockring the look and feel is great. Great axial rigidity, i don't have any problem.
Now im not worrying about failure. This a robust solution.

Interestingly, and sadly, there is an user that reported a similar experience Difference is he had a Genesis and I had a Tactra.

Following up on my original thread after one year to update the community on my experience.

Summary of initial post: I had inflatable surgery with Dr. Eid. After 4.5 months I got a spontaneous infection/removal of the inflatable without the possibility of simultaneous replacement with a malleable. There were no symptoms leading up to the infection, and Dr. Eid told me I was the only one in the history of his practice to present this way. I used a stretching device to maintain my size as best I could for 3 months, I then got a malleable and posted here.

After my surgery I was optimistic about the malleable. However after field testing on 20+ girls I realized that everything I thought was wrong. I found the malleable to be extremely unsatisfying for sex. The biggest issue is that it lacked structural integrity and would bend and fold during sex, which did not happen at all with the inflatable. Additionally, the girth of the malleable was significant smaller than the inflatable, which made it much more difficult to finish during sex in my experience. I also found the 100% hard state to be uncomfortable and never got used to it.

After trying to live with the malleable for some time, I gave up on it and went back to Dr. Eid for an inflatable. Today I have the inflatable and did not get another infection. The sex is now significantly better than it was with the malleable. I also now believe that the discomfort and pain I described with the inflatable in my initial post can be attributed to the low grade infection that was present for several months and not attributed to the implant itself. Today I do not have the pain that I had during sex with the initial surgery.

Bottom line: do not even think about this surgery unless you are completely out of options and have nothing left to lose. An inflatable is absolutely better than no sex at all. If you are at 0, get an implant, and go for an inflatable over a malleable. However, sex with injections or high dosages of pills is far superior to sex with an implant. Even if the injections and pills still work sometimes, it is better to fail sometimes than it is to get an implant. Getting an implant when other options still worked sometimes is absolutely the biggest regret of my life (so far). I wasn't at 0, I still had plenty of natural function, but I had many failures. I tried to optimize my life in order to not fail anymore. In the process I ended up making my life a lot worse.

The biggest thing that you lose when you get an implant is the "turned on" feeling. The sensation of arousal is still somewhat present, but it is greatly diminished with an implant vs a natural erection. If you still have this sensation, do not get the implant and continue with other options. Please really listen to what I am saying here and only get the surgery when you have no options left.

so you are not in the US ? if you did decide on a malleable ,maybe you could get the ridgi10 /14mm rods for better stiffness .

Hopefully it's available in 14mm if I go with the malleable.

Why are you wearing a cock ring w an implant? I would imagine a ring would put extra pressure on the tubing

Maybe, but that's kinda non negoatiable. A cockring makes alot of difference in the erection quality. Besides, in my case, first tubing failure occurred in the section between the cylinders and the pump and I'm almost sure it happened in the exact same way this time. I try to be careful but at times, specially in the heat of the moment, we might put more stress in that tubing connection, for example, when covertly trying to pump while holding legs and licking pussy (well) at the same time. Takes some coordination.
