I have a Titan implanted by Dr. Eid two months ago.
He claims that most failures occur at the tubing as a result of rubbing together.
I am an avid walker, walking briskly at least an hour every morning in addition to actively walking throughout the day.
Does this create an excessive rubbing together of tubing that could lead to early implant failure?

Pills didn't work well. Trimix worked good for 3 years, then only fair for following 3 years but need a cock ring in conjunction.

Chances of that happening are very little as Eid is one of the best at his craft. I’m not an expert and this is just my opinion but I would think if tubing is placed properly it would not be an issue at all.

You gotta live your life.
I wouldn't think the movement from walking an hour a day would cause an issue.
I think maybe if you were a long distance cyclist with a high pedal rate for hours at a time it might be an issue.
Just my thought.

Yup, you gotta live your life. I'm an avid amateur cyclist, I've had my implant 27 months and I've rode 10,000 plus miles during that time. I was worried about not being able to sit on a regular bike saddle but after I healed up, I haven't had any problems. I was also worried that the third brother down there would cause pain rubbing against the other testicles but I haven't had any pain, the pump does find its place while I'm on my saddle. My tubes were secured well by my doctor and I don't know they are there unless I reach down and start trying to find them. I'm hoping that I have a long life with this implant but if it does break, I'll get another one.
I do wear a jockey brand bikini sports brief to keep everything secure under my cycling bibs, but I only use the brief with cycling and not walking.
Here is the link for the jockey briefs I wear under my cycling bibs.
