Second Titan Failure happened 2 days ago during hard sex.

[principles]

Sorry to hear this new failure Principles.
I have a similar story. Also had andi nfection and i can tell that most in this Forum underestimates how ugly it is.
My second Titan lasted 5.5 years, with concious use, just for sex. I had always the fear of failure.
This year for the revision i decided to go for mpp, the Rigi10.
Im really happy with the outcome. As You said, with a cockring the look and feel is great. Great axial rigidity, i don't have any problem.
Now im not worrying about failure. This a robust solution.

I'm very happy to hear your successful migration to Rigi10. I have to be realistic as that scenario could be very different with the specificities of different anatomies and the need for complete inconspicuity at different social scenarios, in my case, at work. I'd love to have the peace of mind that the simplicity of the malleable provides and be happy with it's performance and occlusionness, trully. Unfortunately, I'm not positive of that applying to my specific scenario. Tough decision.

Both scenarios carry risks in my situation. It's a tough choice:

1) Revise to another IPP.
a) Revision successfull:
-Good for 2 years, being simultaneously realistic and pessimistic, then, in 2 years time, find out a way to leave work, again, and go through the entire revision/infection(potential) cycle, again.
-Tubing/Pump (in an ideal world, I'd definitely rather not have them, especially currently being single)
B) Infection:
-Request leave from work
-Physical and mental strain
-Financial strain, especially being away from work.
-Go back to an even shorter malleable

2) Revise to MPP.
-From previous experience, 50% as performant. It bucked, folded. Made me self conscious about some positions and more shy of trying different things as I didn't know I was going to be able to thrust without it buckling (it was a form of improved ED at times, as I've mentioned previously)
-Getting attention at work. In my line of work, that could be a complete nightmare. Not only socially but more seriously, medically (I have to do yearly job related medicals and it could be an impediment if I had to do an initial medical assessment at some other company), currently nobody (as in, the medical team at the compay) is aware that I'm implanted, and I fully intend to keep it that way)
In short, I could potentially jeopardize my job/career while at the same time not being sexually satisfied with the malleable's performance.

In a way, I'm trying to be as impartial and rational as I can be in choosing the least bad option preserving both my sexuality and my career. I confess, not the easiest decision.

Not only that, and not my biggest concern, but sadly, I have to find a plausible excuse to vanish for a couple months from the lives of all the 4 stable women I'm currently involved with, not counting all the others. And again, I have to remind myself that I currently have abundance because I have/had a functional implant. It can be an amazing and terrifying experience all at once.

You said that your malleable was buckling/folding, but do you recall which brand did you had?

Well i guess this is a first world problem man ahah.
None of the women you date know about your implant?

None. I do not let them touch my balls, I simply say I'm very sensitive there and dislike any play with them. I say that assertively once and that's usually the end of the story.
My previous GF spotted my ball incision scar and asked my about it. I said it was nothing, something from when I was a kid, and that was also the end of the conversation. I'd say do not be afraid to draw lines and do not feel inclined to fully explain yourself, you don't have to, and in my experience, doing that could backfire and decrease your attractiveness in the eyes of some women. But that's an entirely different topic of conversation.

The cockring also acts somewhat as a barrier. After I mention I don't like my balls played with, they naturally don't go go past the ring.

Those are the adaptions I had to make being implanted and with new partners, and it does work well. The way you explain how you don't like your balls played with has to be assertive and contextualized correctly.
I wouldn't have that concern with a performant malleable though.

BS Tactra 13mm 23cm. But as I mentioned, it could be simply because of my specific anatomy at the specific time (post-infection). I cannot make the claim that all malleables buckle, otherwise I would not be considering going back to one of them. I'm hopeful that is not the case.

Yeah i see your point. But i hope that you realize that with a mpp it wuold become way more difficult to not "get caught" considering that if they touch your penis while flaccid -> meaning while the implant is folded down, they'll feel it's going to be stiff even if bent down, which surely will raise some questions. What's your take on this aspect?

Also as a side question, has the noise the titan pumps usually do, made more difficult to keep it discrete?

Good point, and I admit I didn't quite think through this scenario yet. When I had the malleable, I was in a relationship, and that GF actually knew about the implant, so that wasn't a concern.

My first Titan weirdly made no noises as I recall, but the second did. I usually pump in the middle of foreplay while we still have our clothes on and I only show my dick when it's fully hard, I don't show it soft, so by the time we take our clothes out or dick out, I'm ready. Sometimes I even manage to put the cockring on single handed, which I keep in my pocket. Othertimes, depending on the girl and the scenario, I don't use the cockring at all on the first fuck. So to your point, I usually pump in the middle of foreplay while kissing, fingering, especially kissing the ear, tactically, as to drown the noise from the pump. It's actually quite easy, no issues there at all. You figure this out day one. Just make her make noises and she won't hear your pump actuating.

And to add one final point, you don't have to be fully pumped. You can squeeze 10–15 times, and as you find moments to caress your balls, you can actually pretty discreetly pump right in front of the girl. Just like when you’re stroking your dick, you can gently and discreetly pet your balls and pump 3–5 times in a second or two—while changing positions, taking clothes off, asking her to turn so you can kiss her neck, then put one hand in her pants, one in yours. While she starts unbuttoning her pants, shirt, or whatever she’s wearing, let her sometimes, you can use that moment to squeeze in additional pumps. There are many ways to progressively get hard in the moment. Those moments of opportunity happen all the time and quickly become very intuitive and natural.

Yep seems a solid strategy. Thanks man, and keep us updated on whatever you are going to chose!

so you are not in the US ? if you did decide on a malleable ,maybe you could get the ridgi10 /14mm rods for better stiffness .

Hopefully it's available in 14mm if I go with the malleable.

woah ,4 fwb and others ! ok mr playboy , haha enjoy .
what country are you in ? for some reason, the ridgi10 14mm rods is not available in US.
i originally went to Egypt for ridgi10 mpp , but after a clown shit show at the hospital where the clinic sent me to, i ended up walking out on the whole deal .
its a long story ,but they probably would have put in a 14mm implant .
as they tried to talk me into a ipp " because of my size , it will be hard to conceal" line of BS
i ended up with the tactra 13mm in india . it does ok, i cant say it buckles . but i want a tactra with 15mm rods .
come on .whats so hard about that? the shaw has one . but no metal wire inside ,so doctors say its the least rigid . then some guys who have it say its good . so who knows . but one or two had the tips break . Apparently bad quality control of the silicone .
oh and the " you cant hide it from your partners" thing . well you had one already so you know .but i have had 4 girls after the implant and of those ,one asked " how come your dick does not sleep" after we were done . i just smiled and pushed it down .
That was the end of that .
even my wife of 32 years [when she is around ] does not know i have an implant
she did say one morning, " your dick was pointing straight up last night while you were alseep !"
my response was ; yeah ,and that is a problem for you?
hahaa . no , no it isnt .
