You know, counting is a common symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

So right. I try not to count but sometimes I do it without realizing.

It’s been 3+ months now and i would have thought the pump ball would be softer and easier to pump but it’s not. Now i understand why guys with arthritis have issue.

They should come out with the BTE model “Bluetooth Erection” so you can work it from you phone. Want a full blow hard on? Slide the on-screen slide bar all the way up .., want just a chunky? Slide it half way. I see this as the next generation !

I've got a Titan Touch. 9 wks post op; been cycyling for 8.

It normally takes me 30 squeezes to get to max.

Don't think I've ever got to what I would call "rock hard" because I can always bend my implant a bit at max but it's hard enough to "rock." :lol:

Titan Touch with the large reservoir, 24 cm

Just started trying to cycle. Just reached one hundred thirty pumps. It's hard but has a way to go to be max. Probably my pumps are not as strong as experienced users as I am still learning how to deal with the implant. Each pump is held 2 seconds and paused 2 seconds between pumps. The bulb goes down about 50 percent. I know the Titan XL has larger diameter cylinders, but that's a lot of pumping. Hope it gets easier or will have to just leave up for days at a time. LOL Any help is appreciated.

This is strange to me. I have the same pump with same 24cm size. I'm at max within about 15 pumps, pretty rock hard. Although I'm only 4 weeks from surgery and not getting to my full girth so this may increase in time. How could it require 130 pumps? have you contacted the coloplast rep?

About 10 and I stand out but not overly hard. 15 is firm but still comfortable for hours. Iĺ inflate when I get up in the morning and leave it inflated all morning, 4 to 6+ hours. 20/25 is very hard but starts to get uncomfortable after a few hours lol

I am 6 weeks post op. I finally maxed out about 170 pumps. Could not move the pump at that point. Very hard, yet girth is not impressive nor length, but I did not expect that either. That was last night before bed. This morning, just now it was still maxed and pump was solid, no possible to pump more. So am going to max out today, and be careful to press alll the way each time, get a good count of consistent presses and see where I am. I expected maybe 50-60. I will talk to the rep. I guess his contact info is on their website. Thanks for the suggestion.

15 pumps to max is impressive. That is from fully deflated? I am careful to fully deflate as I am involved in physical therapy treatments for awhile and I really don't want curiosity seekers in their little gym with no privacy. Randy

I counted again last night, from deformed dick deflated to solid 7"x4.8" was 16 wall to wall pumps plus maybe 2 half pumps. One thing of note, the doctor told me he filled my reservoir with 120cc saline, almost at max capacity....maybe that creates a stronger pressure to fill up the bulb (I barely have to wait at all between pumps) and for some reason your bulb isn't getting filled in between pumps? Total guess. Regardless, they say a normal squeeze should give you about 2.5cc of saline per squeeze, so 170 pumps just isn't right if those are full squeezes.
