I pump my Titan with just one hand, the left. I'm 4" flaccid and 5.5" erect and it takes from 10 to 14 pumps.

I am about 4.5" flaccid and just under 6.5" bp. Any idea if that is enough to be discrete?

Can a lgx or titan both be pumped with just one hand? which is harder or takes longer to pump?


I think that's a decent size, it may stick out for a while til it softens somewhat, but if you get similar length after implant it should hang nicely. As for pumping one handed, I have a hard time with that without the bulb rolling, so I stablize it with one hand while pumping with the other

Read through this thread and what strikes me is the double edged sword which this site is.
Probably the absolutely best place to get info from real people having real implants.
But also, just because this is people posting, there is always the risk that someone reads something, which is what ONE guy says, and then takes it for the truth.
In worst case, this information makes that person make a poor decision.

This thread highlights this a few times.

Wow, huge difference between erect and flaccid. Everyone here says that Titan is equally long both in flaccid and erect state. Can i kindly ask you how much does it take to pump from zero to max 100% erection?


Everyone says..? No. I for one has posted many times here that my erect dick is about 1.5-2 cm longer than my flaccid. For some people there is almost no difference and for some it is.
My guess is that this is depending on two things. The doctor and the blood flow.
If a doc makes a conservative sizing, then the Titan won't make your dick longer when inflated. But if he sizes aggressively, meaning the implant has some crinkles when flaccid, it can straighten and "get longer" when inflated.
And then there is blood flow. If you still get good blood flow to your glans, this will add length when erect as well.
Good doc, good blood flow - difference between flaccid and erect.
Crap doc, no blood flow - no difference between flaccid and erect.
But a lot of people falling in the second category won't reflect on that. They will just post that their Titan does not give them any length difference between flaccid and erect. Someone will read it and believe that is the universal truth. Or someone will read my story and see that I have almost 2 cm difference and believe everyone will get that.
It is individual.

Can you tell how you hide your Titan. Can you wear tight jeans, scubs , pants?


A good thing to remember is that people posting here are, as a group, more dissatisfied and have more problems with their implants than the general implanted population. Thousands of people get their implant every year and just get on with it without problems. Of course the normal outcome with a Titan is that it is well concealed in pants. Remember satisfaction rates on all models are about the same and mostly above 90%. If the Titan was giving people a constant hardon impossible to hide in clothes, Titan would have 0% satisfaction rate in all those studies.

I had a Titan 18+1 instaled in 9/2018. Work at the hospital where I wear scrubs. Never was easy to conceal my Titan. It was always poking and sticking out which was eye caching for many I worked with as for passers in the hollways for witch I felt very often uncomfortable when seeing others faces fixed to my middle part of the body.
With Titan, I was never happy how it looked and feel flaccid. Flaccid angle was never lover then 45 degrees. It felt totally unnatural and severely widened even in flaccid state.
Just recently, on December 2, I had me revision and received AMS 700 CX 21cm + 1.5 cm RTE.
Already very happy how it looks and feels.

That is very concerning as I wear scrub pants 5 days out of the week. Did you try wearing any tight underwear or compression shorts to combat the issue? I would hate to fix a problem that I use for 1 hour a day and introduce another problem for the other hours of the day.


If Whyx3 would walk away from the Titan because MK1965 was one outlier with a shitty flaccid, does he make a good choice? Based on the right input? Hardly.
I am not saying this is the case for MK1965 - I am sure it is not - but when someone says their Titan stands straight out deflated, keep in mind this could be for any reason. That person perhaps has some disability making it impossible for him to deflate properly. Maybe he left his implant partly inflated for 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks or whatever after surgery and allowed scar tissue to form around the reservoir, making it lose capacity.
But to say that all Titans have shitty flaccids is wrong. All Titans are made of the same material. So if one Titan hangs nicely, it means all Titans will hang nicely if the environment it is installed in, and the way it is handled, is the same.

My personal status: I have a 24 cm Titan, no RTEs. I am about 16 cm (6.3") flaccid and 18 cm (7.1") erect when aroused (=blood filled glans). All data bone pressed. My girth is about 14.3 cm (5.6") erect with blood flow.
Despite this larger than average measurements, and despite having a Titan, my flaccid is never a problem. I have posted plenty of pics in My Journal (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6010&start=600).

I would estimate about ten pumps.


That is nice to hear. I thought that like 50 pumps were needed to get erect. Thank you for the informations!!


Another interesting quote...
10 or 50 pumps to erect?

Happy Toy wrote:I pump my Titan with just one hand, the left. I'm 4" flaccid and 5.5" erect and it takes from 10 to 14 pumps.


One or two hands?

Of course, an implant is an implant and a pump is a pump.
There are no differences between Impotent bastard X and impotent bastard Y in terms of how many pumps their implant of same brand and same size need to get fully erect. All Implant of model A with length B and pump C are equal (with some tiny little tolerance in manufacturing of course). If one implant needs 27 pumps to get full, another implant of same type, size and pump model also needs 27 pumps.
Period. Can't be argued.
If one model can be pumped with one hand, then all other implants of same type can as well if the people pumping are equally strong.
The force required is the same.
Period.
So why these differences?
People are different. Doctors are different. Dicks are different.

One "pump", what is that? For some people it is pressing it halfways with one hand, and for some it is a two-hand pump with a force that would crack a diamond.
What is an erection? What is rock-hard?
Some people would call another guy's rock hard a semi. And vice verca.

In my case, I can 100% say that nobody on this site (probably nobody on the planet) can get my implant to be what I call rock-hard with one hand. Nobody. When I say rock-hard, I mean starting with ~30 full wall-to-wall two-handed pumps (at least that's how I would describe them) and then continuing with two hands for another 30-40 pumps which gradually gets further and further from full. The last few pumps barely move any saline at all, just a fraction of the first 30. But I keep going till my hands cramp and my face is blue. Nobody - nobody - on the planet could generate that force with one hand.
So when someone says he is rock hard after 10 one-hand pumps, there is no difference between his and mine implant. Or our pumps. The difference is in what the word rock-hard means to us.

I am not a weak guy, I do 20 chins (and not the kipping style crap, I mean real chins) at a body weight of 94 kg (209 lbs), deadlift 400 pounds for 5*5 reps etc, and the hardness I can achieve with one hand is very far away from what I would call rock hard. I can get a nice erection, useful for sex, but with one hand I can do maybe 30 pumps in total, gradually more and more shallow. Vs the 70 I do with 2 hands. Huge difference in hardness. The hardness I achieve with my 2-minutes, 2-hands, full force pumping which makes me grunt as if I was deadlifting, is on another planet vs the best I can do with one hand.

There is also the maths.
This roughly the volume some implant types have:
LGX 18 cm: 50 ml (57 ml if expanding 10% in length)
LGX 21 cm: 61 ml (69 ml if expanding 10% in length)
Titan 18 cm: 65 ml
Titan 20 cm: 75 ml
Titan 22 cm: 85 ml
Titan 24 cm: 95 ml

A Titan pump has the volume of 2.5 ml. The theoretical maximum that can be pumped is 2.5 ml per pump. But in reality probably less since nobody probably flattens the pump completely and pumps out every fraction of a ml in there.
So assume 2 ml per pump. Then in my case, with my 24 cm Titan, I would need around 50 pumps. Which makes sense with my story of 60-70, since I get less than 2 ml on average per pump for sure since the last few pumps are very minimal.
And someone with a 22 cm Titan saying he is full after 10 pumps?
Well, do the maths. 22 cm Titan volume is roughly 85 ml. 10 pumps is absolutely maximum of 25 ml, but in reality less. Maybe 20. Just saying, don't believe everything you read.
Or rather, do believe it, but do remember that everything on here is individual stories. What is a full pump for someone is a half-pump for someone else. What is rock-hard for someone is a semi for someone else. What is a perfectly hung flaccid for someone is a shitty semi-erection for someone else. The force someone can generate with one hand, someone else needs two hands for. And so on.

So take what you read here with at least a grain, but rather a spoon, of salt.
Individual differences make up so much of all the stories heard here.
And then, to top it off, the doctor's job make up a lot of difference as well.

Just to add a note to merrix post, find it tough to get all of the fluid out when deflating even though I mash my dick hard. I then give it a small squeeze to switch to inflate mode, so I guess there is still some fluid left in my dick and that makes the number of pumps vary.

Merrix,
If you dig dipper thru this forum, you will find at least 5 other Titan implantees who have same problem as I had with my Titan.
You can call my lier/ outlier or whatever names you want to use I don’t care.
Just want to tell prospective ED sufferers that, that with Titan is real possibility which can happen.
Titan was not good for me, and I have right to say that, same right as you.
I will repeat again: IMO Titan is not good for penises below 6.5 to 7 inches of length.
I would appreciate if you can show my 5 pictures of Titan recipients with length of 6.5 inches who have natural flaccid look and low angle.

I don't doubt one second that's how you experience it.
Just saying, if every man (or even just a fair share of men) getting a Titan would have your experience, that implant would be fucked in all patient satisfaction surveys.
But it isn't.
As a matter of fact, there are no differences between the brands. So for every man preferring the AMS (e.g. you) there is one man preferring a Titan. They are equally well liked by the people having them.
So probably those differences in flaccid state, angle, erect hardness, pump size etc are small and mostly minor disturbances being dwarfed by the fact people can have sex again.
On average that is.
Because truly, if an LGX was not hard enough to have good sex with, if Titans made people scare kids with a constant erection - people would not be happy with them.
So your experience is your experience, but it is not representative.
It doesn't make your experience less real and it doesn't give you less right to share it.
Just not representative.
But I am probably not representative for the typical implant result either, so I have no problem being called an outlier as well.

Sorry, I don't have a library of men's implanted penises in my computer (or anywhere else...), but I will give you one picture of a guy with a pre-surgery erect length of 6.5 inches (flaccid 4") and what his flaccid looked like 4 years after Titan implant.
I think it hangs quite ok.

My penis is 5.5” long with 4.5” girth and I got the Titan 22cm. I am almost 4 weeks out and still learning to deflate it properly by squeezing my penis. I can say that my deflate state is getting better but I assume it will get even more better after a few months or cycling. Post surgery my length is 5” and girth is almost 4.5”, I really hope to gain my size back after a few months of cycling. The Dr said that I should. That’s the only thing I am worried about, other than that my Titan is perfect and I am sure it will soften up some more over the next few months.

Indusvalley,

I haven't been on much to give you support, sorry.
It sounds like a good job by your surgeon!
22cm with no rte's? Sounds ideal. You are already getting back your length, have got back your girth so soon after the operation. It will soften up in time and sit better.

I would put money on you getting your full length back, and more on you gaining girth.

You lucky bastard! I'm very jealous. :P
Just relax and carry on. You're going to love it.

Thanks man! Means a lot. Ideally if I got back my 5.5” length and my girth becomes 5”, I would be a very happy man! But honestly even now I am satisfied.

Did you get an implant yet? Your signature shows you have yet to get one.

I've been waiting for over 2 years now, it's just our NHS is overburdened, now with the lockdown. Should be consulting with a surgeon in a couple of weeks though. So progress is being made slowly.

I bet you'll get at least 0.25 inches more girth at minimum, everyone else seems to.
I would be happy with your dimensions too. Can only get better for you now.
