Six weeks in

[JohnThomas]

Now just over six weeks in from my operation, and have been cycling for two weeks

I cycle once on awakening, and sometimes again later in the day.

Inflation has become easier with practice, and have pumped up to the max. hard enough for intercourse, and pointing quite straight. Head is soft unless aroused when it seems fine.

Deflation is OK but more difficult than inflation - probably because the valve is next to my left testicle so harder to locate and press, although once found it works OK.

Even when deflated, it is still quite full in appearance, as it is a Coloplast Titan Touch not an AMS.

Still sore, particularly along the shaft and head, although it comes and goes, and hopefully will disappear in time.

Can feel the tubing through my skin at the base of my penis.

Have masturbated a few times, but still too sore for intercourse.

Semen was a bit watery at first, and dribbled rather than shot out. Has improved a bit but does not shoot as much as it did before the op. Not sure why this is so - maybe will improve over time.

Overall very satisfied so far - how satisfying it is to be able to get a hard on again, and one that lasts. Hopefully the soreness will diminish over the next month or so so that I can enjoy sex again soon.

Best wishes

John,
Happy to hear all is going well. It should just keep getting better and better from here on out.

Hi JohnThomas,
I'm about a week behind you and seem to be experiencing a similar recovery. My pump is just beneath my left testicle and that seems to be the bit that is aching the most at the moment. The head of my penis is still quite sore especially if I try and put on any heavier trousers. Jeans have been out of the question for the last few weeks and I've pretty much been living in shorts.

Pumping up as much as possible every evening in the bath. Surprised to find that I could still pump up further using both thumbs beyond a point at which I had previously thought the implant was fully inflated. This is pretty painful though and I can't leave it inflated to that extent for more than a minute or two.

I'm looking forward to these aches and pains easing off a bit and will be glad to get back to the gym/exercise! Thinking of trying a bit of a jog tomorrow morning but worried it may aggravated my balls. We shall see!

Hope your recovery continues to go well!

Thanks for the details. I'm 3 and 1/2 weeks behind you. So haven't even started cycling yet. I'm also in the "softer" pants and wearing some tight underwear to keep myself "in place". Looking forward to cycling to "see what I've really got".

Anyway, thanks again and keep us updated.
Best of luck on your continued recovery.

Thanks

with regards to inflating, what I have found is that I can inflate it quite a bit in one session of squeezing until the bulb gets rock hard. Then if I leave it for 10 minutes or so I find that I can get a few more squeezes in
