Titan touch deflate valve

[merrix]

The 60-70 pumps is really a difficult number to interpret and value.
I used to always do full wall-to-wall pumps, and then followed by partials gradually transferring less and less saline with each pump.
Then I thought to myself, for sure, a complete wall-to-wall pump must put a whole lot more mechanical stress on the bulb than let's say one where you press it halfway.
Plus, I also found that it is actually faster for me to reach full inflation with partials than with full pumps. Simply because the "re-load" time after a full pump is so long. I can do 50 partials in the same time as I can do 20 full pumps, and still transfer more saline with the 50 partials than the 20 full pumps.

So when I say 60-70, don't just compare that number to your own. For me this is 10-20 close to full pumps (but still not really maximized), and then around 30 partials and then finally a few pumps which really don't add much at all.

I really don't know, but my guess is that if I did full wall-to-wall pumps, I would be able to do 30-40. And then maybe 10 partials. But that's just guessing. Maybe it is less.
I will try some time and let you know.

On my Coloplast Titan OTR the button was very hard to find at first, I assume due to swelling and soreness. At my 4 week follow up doc tried to deflate me but I was still too sore. At my 6 week follow up doc deflated me and I heard the button click. That is the only time I've heard it do that. I struggled at first and actually had to go back to doc twice to get deflated. Now at 11 months out I can find the deflate button pretty easily. I usually start pumping small pumps for the first three or four, then can go to a full pump for about 20-25. Once the bulb gets hard I'll add a couple of small pumps. I do use both hands to inflate, one hand holds pump with fingers underneath, other hand holds bulb and I use thumb and first two fingers of both hands.
Deflating is push hard on the button and squeeze my penis. I normally wrap a towel over my penis to deflate. That gives a better grasp (especially after sex) and seems to squeeze more saline out.
At one of my follow ups doc showed me the Titan model. Of course it had been used a lot so the bulb squeezed easy and the release button was in full view. I assume it takes time for the bulb to soften to allow easier use. I do know it took time for the soreness to ease off so searching around my sack for the bulb/button didn't hurt so much.

Hey guys, I talked to Dr Tariq Hakkey and he recommended Coloplast due to it’s natural thickness which means more girth. He said 80% choose Coloplast for this reason. Earlier I wanted to go with AMS LGX but now I am confused. Can you guys give me good advice since you’re all already implanted with Coloplast? Is Coloplast easy to pump and deflate? Also should I go with Legacy pump or One Touch pump? I noticed @LknRon on this forum was implanted Titan with Legacy pump by Dr Kramer. Any reason you think he went for legacy pump instead of One Touch pump?

Consider yourselves lucky, lol.
I have the Titan Legacy...two buttons I have to depress when I am all done.
Like Merrix said, it takes some getting used to. Speaking only for myself, I had to imagine the pump itself and fiddle with the valves over time. 7 months out, and I am still somewhat sore after I have been pumping a while. The pumps are definitely not wall-to-wall, but I just pump enough until I start 'stretching'.
Releasing is hit or miss, no pun. I found out, through trial and error, that I really don't need that much strength to depress the valves, but it does take some strength.

What's your penis length, and how important is erectile firmness vs flaccid comfort? Also, are you planning on anal sex or just vaginal?

There are a lot of variables that go into the decision...

Penis length is 5 and half inches and girth is 4 and half inches. I guess erectile firmness is important but flaccid comfort is very important too. I only plan to have sex vaginally.

The Dr mentioned that with AMS LGX I may lose girth and end up with slim penis since the implant is not as wide and thick compared to Coloplast Titan. Is 4 and half girth considered a lot?

4.5in is a pretty normal girth, I believe. At your size, you should probably be able to go with any implant and have vaginal sex with no problem. I was 6" in length (bone-pressed) and about 5" circumference, and my doc recommended the titan as well. In my case, anal sex will be primarily what I'm doing, so the additional hardness and stability makes sense to me. I went into it wanting an LGX though, and I still feel like if I'm given the choice in a future revision, I'll go with one of the AMS models...Might change my mind down the road if the Titan flaccid gets easier to manage (I'm only 2 months from surgery), but it has been a pain so far.

The titan does its job (getting and keeping you hard) VERY well though. No complaints about the inflated state from me.

Okay, holy shit...I managed to get the button pressed properly.

Yesterday, I went to the doc...I had a very small abscess on the scar, and they insisted on having me come in immediately. While there, Dr. Karpman once again hit the button properly and got it into the "one touch" deflate mode where the button doesn't need to be held down. It was frustrating as hell, since I hadn't been able to at all since the last time he had done it. I was all set to come in here and complain on this thread.

But after some great sex today, I decided I'd give it a shot. I have always been pretty good at finding the button, so I just pressed extra hard on it and gave the tubes a sharp squeeze at the same time, and I felt a little give on the button...And afterwards, it has stayed in deflate mode! I don't know if I'll be able to keep getting it, I really had to smash that button down, but it's a relief to at least know it's possible for me.

Interesting side note, when I deflate it while holding the button down (not going into full deflate mode), there is next to no reflux of fluid back into the tubes. It seems like when I get it into full deflate mode, there's some backflow up into the tubes...It's easy to squeeze back out since I don't need to press the button any more, just seems odd. I'm sure I can do a single pump to flip the valve back again, but is this expected?
