Just pumped for the first time yesterday. Did not do it all the way. However, had trouble deflating. think it is mostly - not all - deflated. It still feels rigid to the touch. If fully deflated, will it maintain some rigidity FYI, I have an LGX

Great question! Anybody have the answer? What does flaccid state feel like after you’ve had it for a year?

I sometimes wonder if my implant is fully deflated. Simple hydraulics suggest that it will never be COMPLETELY empty. Try emptying a balloon or plastic bag of all water with the opening on the upside and simply by squeezing the balloon/bag. Then imagine that you are trying to empty it through a tube into a reservoir (that has pressure (from being inside you) on it. That back pressure will effectively prevent full emptying.

f all you do is release the valve, the pressure in the implant will overcome the back pressure in the reservoir until they are equal and then flow will stop. You will be partially inflated at that point and partially erect for sure. Further un-erection depends on you pushing the fluid into the reservoir against increasing back pressure (as the reservoir gets fuller and penis/implant gets less full).

So, how "flaccid" any implanted penis is will depend on how effectively you can squeeze your penis and how much pressure there is in your abdomen on the reservoir (and also how much resistance there is to flow through the valve and tubing.

When I get REALLY FULLY squeezed out, my flaccid penis (AMS LGX) is pretty darned flexible. But that requires assiduous squeezing. Imagine trying to empty out a toothpaste tube. There are techniques for the toothpaste tube that I do not recommend for a penis, but you get the idea.

I use this protocol:

Grip my penis in one hand and squeeze the penis (feel for the vibration in the valve with the other hand). Then release grip and squeeze again, concentrating on the tip first, then up the shaft. Then release and tuck the tip into your grip (or fold over) to migrate the saline in the implant towards the reservoir. Repeat as necessary until maximum "floppiness" is achieved.

When flaccid and as fully emptied as I can get it, I can readily feel the inflatable implant cylinders of the AMS implant inside my penis. It feels different from what my tunica felt. When partially inflated (even minimally) the implant's inflatable cylinders are not as readily distinguished from my own tissues. I will have to check that last statement tonight to make sure my recollection is correct and may amend this last paragraph.

When my implant is fully deflated/flaccid it feels (and looks) completely normal and I am not aware of the implant at all. (The only time I feel it is when I hold my penis to pee.)

Deflated Titan is quite natural to look at but does present the cylinders to the touch.
When we are socialising (swingers club) I keep myself part inflated.....looks pretty damned good and is ready to party

Feels like a natural penis but you can feel the tips. The tips are little larger and hard.

Just a bit of info I have noticed with my LGX. I have a good part of my cylinders in my body that can not be squeezed. So after squeezing some fluid will move back out. My LGX packet came with a dvd that shows deflating and squeezing. Might take a look at it if you have one. My shaft was sore for a while and if I deflated all the way the cylinders would be like a card board tube and the bend would flatten and have points on each side. These are called dog ears and most common with the stiffer walled Coloplast. But I had them and they bothered me some so I would leave a bit in or add a few pumps to smooth them out just a little. They soften over time. But you may notice them while healing. If you don't pump a few times fluid can continue to be pushed back into the reservoir as you move.

When flaccid, my LGX-implanted dick has a stiffer feel than it used to. It bends easily, but the underlying cylinders are stiffer than what they replaced. I used the same techniques described earlier to deflate, starting at the head. A large portion of an implant is inside the body and you can't squeeze that part, so there will always be some fluid in the cylinders, but I think the stiffer feeling is just part of the material the cylinders are made from.

I actually like the feel a lot. When I wake up in the morning it somewhat resembles a natural woody. During the day, I don't notice the implant at all unless I grab hold for some reason. Then the stiffness is obvious but still feels good. I feel more like a man.

Hope that helps,
Quincy.

I posted my own topic about deflation issues right now I have the Coloplast one touch and I’m only deflated to a semi state the issue I have is actually pressing the damn button I think I just hit it by luck after messing around for ages..

Can you keep it private in the club that you have an implant?
