Right on, Tourist100.

There are videos on YouTube that show side by side smashing of the AMS and Titan, and the Titan is unquestionably stronger.

Cool! Where can I see them? Implanted in a penis or the naked implant? Can you post links?

I would be flattered (or perhaps insulted) if a sexual partner asked me, "How many Viagra did you take?" On the one hand, having been plagued by soft and collapsing erections for so long, that would be a compliment. On the other hand, her assuming I would need Viagra might leave me a bit miffed (even if it used to be true).

Miffed? Lol You must be much younger than me. I am 60. Often, a guy my age -- even with a working penis -- before he can get an erection, has to have a full nights sleep, eat the right foods, take supplements, not drink alcohol, take a hand full of Viagra, AND talk to his penis very nicely. Only then, on a good day, his penis may decide to get hard. That is why I LOVE my implant. I can get hard for three weeks straight and never lose my erection. It is unquestionable that I can out perform any 18 year old out there! To be able to say that at 60 is pretty cool.

Based upon my hundreds of hours of reading, here is what I have found: If you have an average size penis that is not subject to curvature, the AMS LGX appears to be the right choice. If you have curvature and an average size penis, AMS CX seems to be the right choice. Sufferers of Peyronies disease and those with larger penises, should consider selecting the Titan. It also should be noted that of the high volume implanters, over 90% of the implantations are Titans (which was a contributing factor in my choice of Titan).

I, too did considerable reading (and communicating with a handful of surgeons, including the illustrious Doctors Eid and Kramer) and your conclusions are spot-on. Except that AMS does have about 70% of the market share according to the last report I had. So, statistically, if the high-volume implanters use Titan's 90% of the time, there must be a LOT of medium and low volume implanters using a preponderance of AMS devices. Don't know what conclusion to draw from that, as the research indicates satisfaction rates (both of patients and their sexual partners) and service life between the various devices are fairly comparable.

It is interesting you mention Kramer and Eid. In making my determination, I actually called both (after my urologist refused to go with my initial pick of AMS LGX because it was not strong enough to attend to my hourglass shape and curvature). They both recommended Titan. Kramer actually told me that the Titan is the "gold standard" when it comes to Peyronies deformities, and he can be heard in some of his videos making that reference. That does not mean that AMS is not a good choice, and as I stated in my first post in this thread, based upon my research, it is a better choice for those with average size penises without deformities, particularly because looks and feels more natural (Titan is not far off, but fully inflated, it gets almost unnaturally hard, which I do not mind a bit).

As to your logical conclusion that if I am correct, there are a lot of medium and low volume implanters out there, I have a video by Dr. Eid for you. In discussing his preference for Titan, Dr. Eid, in this video (beginning at 5:05) https://youtu.be/rX4XlIcMYCw, discusses the fact that the majority of implants are done by physicians who do from 0-3 implants per year. Dr. Eid's statement is consistent with other research I have done on the matter.

As to the experience of the implanter, I am going to stray off topic by adding that a doctor's experience with implantation does matter. I went with a doctor who published papers in medical journals about implants, and who had done a number of them, although he would not be considered a "high-volume" implanter. He still messed up my implant. One of my tips is longer by a quarter of an inch, which causes the head to look deformed. There is not enough fluid in my reservoir to fully fill my device. He made the incision horizontal, which does not constitute malpractice, but a vertical incision would have been more esthetic. When I talked to my doctor about it, he claimed the implant looked fine, and he would not do a revision just to put more fluid in the reservoir. If anyone is getting ready for surgery, I would recommend sending an email to the doctor explaining that he must agree that tip placement over 1/16th of an inch difference would be unacceptable and require revision, that the fluid in the reservoir must be more than sufficient to fill the device otherwise revision would be necessary at his expense, and that he must agree to do the incision vertically.

I am a guy that has both a Titian and AMS CX. It has been my experience that the CX gets rock hard and the Titan gets rock hard. My first doc told me I had a Titian dick so that what we went with. Yes the girth is a little less with the CX. I think my true girth size is somewhere in the middle of CX and Titian.
The CX is closer to my original dick. The Titan was more like what I would call my porn dick. Bigger, beefy, rock hard, always ready, never really looked flaccid.
Just a different look. The porn dick looked impressive and I can say I miss that at times. The truth is I like the CX better. It is more comfortable, easier to hide, and the sex is, for me, better. The sensation for me is better when I not fully inflated. Being inflated beyond original size, the pressure, seems to dull sensitivity.

Damn Tourist you didn't have your implant in Melbourne FL did you? Our Docs must have studied together. Except for the low saline they are twins! Right now I'm heading into revision #2 hoping to get things fixed. Good luck. I dumped my surgeons (had a twofer) like hot potatoes and went elsewhere. I really feel for guys who have to go back to the same loser again and again because of their insurance.
I can't speak about Titan never had one. But it became very clear to me that my LGX was the right choice at the time of my implant but now it's better to move on to the CX. I got back my length in spades with the LGX. I doubt that many on this forum can beat my record of growth, a full 1/2"+ more than I should ever had reached. Now it is time to stabilize my length no more growth needed or wanted. So I'm choosing the CX this time.
Each type and brand has its own secret power that it does the best of all. Deciding which one will serve you the most is key in your choice.

I agree with Maverick2dog. I like my LGX a LOT better than my Titan. But, I wish I could have the Titan pump with my LGX. To me, that's the best of both brands.

Cool. I am happy to hear the opinion of someone in a position to compare good installations of both brands.

Would you share more details, please? In PM or in the thread. I think the probative value of your experiences would far outweigh the danger of getting argumentative by "fanboys" of either brand.

Sampling your prior posts gives me a hint of a side-by-side comparison and I admit a less than ideally installed Titan would suffer in comparison to a better-installed AMS, but I expect you could mitigate the "slant" of the differences in the two installations vs differences in the two devices.

Thank you.

The link did not work the first time I tried it, but now I was able to see the video. Proof positive that the Coloplast device has far more "overhead" than the AMS device. Both are sufficient for penetrative sex with any vagina I have ever encountered. But it would be nice to KNOW I could be stiff enough if I ever encountered a woman as tight-pussied as those hydraulic press measuring tools in the video. Feel as powerful as a steamroller or piledriver with a Titan like that one!
