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.
I'm very happy to hear your successful migration to Rigi10. I have to be realistic as that scenario could be very different with the specificities of different anatomies and the need for complete inconspicuity at different social scenarios, in my case, at work. I'd love to have the peace of mind that the simplicity of the malleable provides and be happy with it's performance and occlusionness, trully. Unfortunately, I'm not positive of that applying to my specific scenario. Tough decision.
Both scenarios carry risks in my situation. It's a tough choice:
1) Revise to another IPP.
a) Revision successfull:
-Good for 2 years, being simultaneously realistic and pessimistic, then, in 2 years time, find out a way to leave work, again, and go through the entire revision/infection(potential) cycle, again.
-Tubing/Pump (in an ideal world, I'd definitely rather not have them, especially currently being single)
B) Infection:
-Request leave from work
-Physical and mental strain
-Financial strain, especially being away from work.
-Go back to an even shorter malleable
2) Revise to MPP.
-From previous experience, 50% as performant. It bucked, folded. Made me self conscious about some positions and more shy of trying different things as I didn't know I was going to be able to thrust without it buckling (it was a form of improved ED at times, as I've mentioned previously)
-Getting attention at work. In my line of work, that could be a complete nightmare. Not only socially but more seriously, medically (I have to do yearly job related medicals and it could be an impediment if I had to do an initial medical assessment at some other company), currently nobody (as in, the medical team at the compay) is aware that I'm implanted, and I fully intend to keep it that way)
In short, I could potentially jeopardize my job/career while at the same time not being sexually satisfied with the malleable's performance.
In a way, I'm trying to be as impartial and rational as I can be in choosing the least bad option preserving both my sexuality and my career. I confess, not the easiest decision.
Not only that, and not my biggest concern, but sadly, I have to find a plausible excuse to vanish for a couple months from the lives of all the 4 stable women I'm currently involved with, not counting all the others. And again, I have to remind myself that I currently have abundance because I have/had a functional implant. It can be an amazing and terrifying experience all at once.
