Stiffening while walking or standing

Postby IMUAGARY » Mon Aug 31, 2026 5:53 pm

Aloha from Maui, six weeks ago I had Peronies Disease straightening surgery and the installation of penis pump. Since then, whenever I walk around my penis stiffens. It doesnt grow, it just gets stiff. When I sit the penis will soften. Additionally, during the evening my penis stiffens and it becomes difficult to get it to soften. I was hoping by this time these issues might resolve itself. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced these issues and how you might have addressed them?

Imaginary,

I answered you on another thread but since you have one here, let me repeat:

It sounds like you are not closing your valve after deflating.

To close the valve, you must pump 1-2 times after deflating. If a smaller flaccid gives you less distress, be sure and press the fluid out of your penis when you deflate- before pumping 1-2 times to lock the valve shut.

I hope this is what is happening, as it is very easy to fix.

IMUAGARY,

It would be helpful if you fill in your signature line with age, implant type, pump type and ED history. All of that makes a difference in our answers, or if we should attempt to answer.

Aloha,
THank you for your responses and suggestions. I am 67 years old and in good physical condition and in good health. The pump I received is ths Titan Inflatable Penile implant.
I noted in the operation guide, there is no reference to closing the pump after deflating. Is that something required for the Titan pump?
thanks,
Imuagary

Aloha brother, We've been to Hawaii a couple of times and have spent some time on Maui.
I don't have a Titan but with many of the implant models, after squeezing as much fluid from the cylinders as you can after deflation, just give the pump one or two quick presses. That should lock the valve so that the device won't start auto filling with saline. I can do that with my LGX with a single pump to reset the valve if it doesn't happen automatically. But I prefer it feeling a bit fuller and I'm happy to let it do its own thing.

If you have a Coloplast One-Touch pump with your Titan the small pump to reset the pump could be helpful. If you have the Classic pump there is no need to pump after letting go of the release valve.

No matter how much fluid you squeeze out of the cylinders you can’t squeeze the internal portion of your cylinders and fluid still remains there. When you are walking around that fluid flows down into the external part of your cylinders and it feels fuller. When you are sitting your penis may be horizontal to the floor and that fluid partially flows back into the internal portion and it feels less full.

Aloha Goodwood,
Mahalo for your response and information. I noticed in the material provided by the physician that it is referred to as the Coloplast 3-piece inflatable implant. However, it doesn't say anything about "One touch." Does that make a difference?
I really appreciate your assistance with my inquiries.

The Coloplast Titan 3 piece inflatable implant is available with 2 different pumps. The classic pump where you have to hold the deflate button the entire time you are deflating, and the “One-Touch” pump where you push a button (but don’t have to continuously hold it) to deflate.

The one-touch is the newer “improved” version although some surgeon’s prefer the older classic version for its simplicity.

I’ll bet if you do a google search for pictures of them you’ll see the difference in their shape and might be able to feel which you have. Otherwise just ask your surgeon.

With the One-Touch at the end of deflation you need to do a small squeeze of the pump to switch it out of deflate, closing the flow of fluid back in.

Thank you, you've been extremely helpful. Sounds like I don't have the "One-Touch" because I have to hold the deflate button the entire time. So, any suggestions for locking the old school pump to prevent the stiffening of my penis when i walk?
thanks so much for your time.
