I am about six weeks post op and have started cycling with my Titan.
Right now I am either doing (2) 30 minute cycling sessions per day or (1) 45 -60 minute sessions.
How much should I pump for each cycling session? Should I pump enough for my penis to hurt slightly? How much many pumps should I be doing?
Appreciate the help and hoping to regain some length.
Thanks.

I don't have a Titan but the suggestions are general and affect all IPPs. First, follow your doctor's instructions first. As to number of pumps when cycling though, it varies with each individual and may also vary with you as time goes on. You may only get 5-6 pumps or 10 or 40 or more... It all depends on you, how fully you squeeze and how much saline it takes to inflate your specific implant.
Typically you should inflate until you just start to feel some discomfort, wait a few minutes and see if you can get a couple or three more pumps in as things start to stretch and relax a bit. Most try to stay inflated for a fixed time of theirs and/or their doctor's choosing, 10, 30 or sometimes even 60 minutes (ouch).

Re: Cycling With Titan
I’m 8 weeks 5 days post op. I had the same question. My doctor prescribed 60 minutes 1 hour per day for 30 days after the first 30 days of cycling (1 to 5 minutes daily). I only gotten to 60 minutes once.
I thought it was a significant increase in minutes from the 1st to 2nd month. I started increasing the amount on my own in the first month. It is either very uncomfortable or hurts like HELL after 40 minutes of full inflation. I break it up into 2 or 3 segments. Hopefully I can get to 60 minutes straight consistently towards the end of the 2nd 30 days.

Re: Cycling With Titan
I am wondering what other Titan recipients were told about the length of cycling?
I was told one to two hours per day for two years. Also, is cycling needed to maintain size? I am very happy with the length and shape etc.
My doctor seemed more concerned with size than I was!
How long Re y planning to cycle daily? Thanks!
