Second Titan Failure happened 2 days ago during hard sex.

Why are you wearing a cock ring w an implant? I would imagine a ring would put extra pressure on the tubing

I think it’s more for if you have an MPP - there’s been a few guys here who have malleables and have found that a cock ring has helped a bit with their girth, since it helps with retaining the natural engorgement that’s still there.

So sorry to hear of your pump failure. Lots of good discussions here. When I have my implant fitting. I had decided to go with an MPP (most likely Rigicon), but I will ask the surgeon if I can handle some different implants

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.

This is interesting principles, and now I’m going to dig through the FT forum to see if I can find anything similar from guys who have had salvage malleable placed. Maybe other guys have had buckling issues on account of recovery from infection?

Interestingly, and sadly, there is an user that reported a similar experience Difference is he had a Genesis and I had a Tactra.

Following up on my original thread after one year to update the community on my experience.

Summary of initial post: I had inflatable surgery with Dr. Eid. After 4.5 months I got a spontaneous infection/removal of the inflatable without the possibility of simultaneous replacement with a malleable. There were no symptoms leading up to the infection, and Dr. Eid told me I was the only one in the history of his practice to present this way. I used a stretching device to maintain my size as best I could for 3 months, I then got a malleable and posted here.

After my surgery I was optimistic about the malleable. However after field testing on 20+ girls I realized that everything I thought was wrong. I found the malleable to be extremely unsatisfying for sex. The biggest issue is that it lacked structural integrity and would bend and fold during sex, which did not happen at all with the inflatable. Additionally, the girth of the malleable was significant smaller than the inflatable, which made it much more difficult to finish during sex in my experience. I also found the 100% hard state to be uncomfortable and never got used to it.

After trying to live with the malleable for some time, I gave up on it and went back to Dr. Eid for an inflatable. Today I have the inflatable and did not get another infection. The sex is now significantly better than it was with the malleable. I also now believe that the discomfort and pain I described with the inflatable in my initial post can be attributed to the low grade infection that was present for several months and not attributed to the implant itself. Today I do not have the pain that I had during sex with the initial surgery.

Bottom line: do not even think about this surgery unless you are completely out of options and have nothing left to lose. An inflatable is absolutely better than no sex at all. If you are at 0, get an implant, and go for an inflatable over a malleable. However, sex with injections or high dosages of pills is far superior to sex with an implant. Even if the injections and pills still work sometimes, it is better to fail sometimes than it is to get an implant. Getting an implant when other options still worked sometimes is absolutely the biggest regret of my life (so far). I wasn't at 0, I still had plenty of natural function, but I had many failures. I tried to optimize my life in order to not fail anymore. In the process I ended up making my life a lot worse.

The biggest thing that you lose when you get an implant is the "turned on" feeling. The sensation of arousal is still somewhat present, but it is greatly diminished with an implant vs a natural erection. If you still have this sensation, do not get the implant and continue with other options. Please really listen to what I am saying here and only get the surgery when you have no options left.

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.

Maybe, but that's kinda non negoatiable. A cockring makes alot of difference in the erection quality. Besides, in my case, first tubing failure occurred in the section between the cylinders and the pump and I'm almost sure it happened in the exact same way this time. I try to be careful but at times, specially in the heat of the moment, we might put more stress in that tubing connection, for example, when covertly trying to pump while holding legs and licking pussy (well) at the same time. Takes some coordination.

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.
