Trading in new Titan for AMS after 90 days.

[strongagain]

I do have my Titan for almost 10 years and I would never ever trade it for an AMS, but will stick with Titan for ever. Of course a 'real' dick feels much nicer, but only when in a 100% working condition.

When a Titan is deflated completely it feels odd, therefore I always give it 2-4 pumps, that helps a lot.

I suppose in many cases one should blame the surgeon not the implant. I flew more than 9 kms in order to get to my excellent surgeon, which I never regretted. Isn‘t Dr. Eid very fond of the Titan? I guess there are not many of his patients complening about the Titan…

is the pump in AMS that much bigger than in the titan?

Hi Wilson. What you wrote is interesting. I'm only two weeks post-surgery, too early to give grades, but I'm the opposite of you right now. I have an AMS700LGX and unfortunately only after surgery did I discover that the stiffness of this model is less than that of a Titan or CX. I hope I will be satisfied, it's hard to think about replacing now. I personally think most of us do the surgery to get a good erection for all types of sex. That in my opinion is the main goal. Only the second is better comfort when the penis is flaccid. Good luck to all of you.

For the original question, I don't think at 90 days I'd consider a second surgery for a well-functioning implant that had a good surgical result. Imagine having a Titan that works great, and trading it for an AMS that gets infected or has other issues. Man would I be kicking myself if I was in that position. You can always switch to AMS when it's revision time, if you can live with the downsides that long.

Now as for Titan vs. AMS, in my case my upcoming surgery will be a Titan. Dr. Hakky said that at my size I will likely need a device up to 26cm, and it's hard to get that big with AMS without a number of RTEs which are of course not ideal. Also the rigidity is more of an issue the bigger the penis is, so again the Titan seems like the right choice in my case.

I'm a little apprehensive of the dog ears and other issues, but I assume I'll just have to keep a few pumps in all the time to keep it looking/feeling nice, even if that means walking around with a mild semi-erection. Does anybody disagree that for larger guys the Titan seems the better choice? Now's the time, before my surgery, to find out if my assumptions are wrong!

ElbowRoom, FWIW, when I had the sizing discussion with my Dr he was clear that anything over 24cm would be a Titan.

Elbow... I think you're making the right call. Based on my first consultations with both Clavell and Karpman, they both recommended the Titan for me and larger dicks (either long and/or girthy). For me, the dog ears have softened and are manageable with a few pumps. They have not really been an issue and I'm really happy so far (2+ months post-op).

Thanks, that seems to mimic what I have seen and heard.

Thanks Wooody! So far I haven't seen anything about the Titan series that I can't live with, and it's good to know things "break in" and soften up over time. The tubing failures are about the only concern I have.

I'm sharing this not to persuade, but to give people something to think about if they're deciding between implants. And I am very aware that there are thousands and thousands of Titan owners who are very pleased. This is just MY experience.

24CM Titan implanted 3/20 by Dr. Clavelle. Have a replacement scheduled end of July for an AMS.

The main issue is flaccid. It feels awful to me. It literally feels like I have large fast-food straws crammed in my dick. They fold like a straw. It feels like a straw when flaccid. I leave it pumped 30-40% just to avoid that, but end up sleeping on my side with a kickstand.

I'm in an new relationship and sex is fine. It works fine when I inflate it, but I don't even want her touching it if it's flaccid. It feels SO unnatural. It crinkles and the dog ears are so bad. Not painful, just awful looking. Wrap some fabric around a straw and then bend it. That's exactly what this is like. Again, when hard I could drive a golf ball down a fairway.

Before my surgery in March I read hundreds of posts on this board. Looking back, I can say that I was definitely romantic about the Titan given the over emphasis on rigidity. I'm sure the AMS gets hard enough for penetration, which is the goal. Today I'll take 70% of the rigidity to feel like my girlfriend could fondle me without it feeling totally unnatural.

I'm sure some are going to say it's going to feel "some" unnatural because it is unnatural. That's true, but it should feel unnatural the same way a breast implant is unnatural. We know its not real, but it looks and feels great. Imagine if a breast implant was only great after being inflated? Imagine if not inflated it was like a bag or doritos inside that breast pocket.

If by some chance anyone on here went from a titan to an AMS, I would LOVE to hear your experience.

Did you end up changing the titan for AMS? what was the result?

You just received your implant, have you had the Titan and CX as well?
