Yeah, but can everyone practice all positions with the implant?
Lately I have read here on FT so many bad things about implants, so many people with problems needing revision that I get more and more scared.
It seems that the Merix story is the only positive one. I know it's not like that, but I would like to hear more reports of positive experiences to be more rested.
I am relatively young, 41 years old, and I am lucky to have a woman who is a sex bomb. When she is willing and well stimulated, she shames a lot of pornographic actress. lol
So to go through such a painful experience as it is to be implanted and then have limitations when it comes to sex, with regard to sexual positions or practices, was very bad.
I would like to know if a LGX up to 21 centimeters, under normal conditions and assuming a good installation, will have any stiffness problem or if it can bend during sexual intercourse.
For greetings greater than 21 CM, according to the most experienced specialists I have read, LGX is not very advisable. At the very least a CX, but preferably a Titan. I even think that Dr. Eid advises Titan for implants equal to or greater than 20 CM.
This makes me have some resistance to LGX. The question is whether this rigidity of LGX is more than sufficient for these "more advanced sexual practices" or whether, on the contrary, it will constitute an obstacle.
Another issue, a Titan that is fully inflated, without RTE, according to what I have read, is much more rigid than a healthy penis. Some say it's like having a broomstick.
Couldn't this regiment and lack of flexibility at the base bring complications in the positions where the penis is forced down a little?
And if the woman is lying on her back on top of the man and the man is penetrating her from behind, is there no risk of overpricing the reservoir?
Sorry for these questions that might be a little unreasonable.
But if it is to be implanted, it is to be able to get the best out of the implant and sex.

I seen Dr Perito and Dr Eid. Dr Perito said "I make dicks hard, not soft" in reference to Titan. Dr. Eid said, "Due to your "hourglass" issue, Titan".

What do I draw from the advise of two of the best Docs? Titans are more about Hard, problem cases.

I could be wrong. I doubt 2 top Docs would steer me wrong.

Hi
I have a 24+ 1 RTE by Dr. Brady in Orlando, Fl. and love it.
Deflated I can feel the tubes at times but inflated, Oh BOY!
I can be as hard as I want to be or as hard as she wants me to be.
Once inside all the feelings are just as great as I ever felt them
and I can let go(cum) first and stay hard forever for her to enjoy.
Received implants 10/4/19 Coloplast 24cm + 1cm RTE

Do you already have your surgery scheduled?
Did Dr. Perito or Dr. Eid say what size Titan could be implanted in you?

I had an appointment with a surgeon who in 20 years implanted about 7000 implants and is a doctor recognized by peers in this area.
He said that the choice of Titan or AMS depends on several factors, but the most important is the patient's anatomy.
He is of the opinion that the implant must be above all functional and must allow sufficient vertical regiment for penetration.
According to him, there are clinical conditions that condition the choice of one implant over the other, as is the case of a highly affected albugine tunic. In these cases, apparently, an AMS will be better, because the AMS cylinder does not depend on the tunic to achieve maximum rigidity. Whereas Titan exerts more pressure on the tunic, and, over time, it can damage the tunic even more.
In his opinion, as I mentioned, the most important thing about the implant is to provide sufficient vertical stiffness for good sexual performance and to respect the anatomical and clinical conditions of each patient, all other factors, such as the size of the pump, or the flaccid state are secondary.
It remains to be said that this doctor implements both brands, namely AMS and Titan, but has a contractual connection with Coloplast and obtains financing from this brand.

I still don't know if I will have to be implanted, but if it has to be, I think it is better to be the doctor to choose.

I have had my LGX for two and a half years and been using it for the past two years quite consistently and satisfyingly. So, Merrix's story is not the only happy one. Many men, happy with their implants do not post regularly. Too busy with sex, maybe? Men who have problems are more likely to be found here. So, take that self-selection into account.

As with natural penises, some positions "work" better than others. With an implant, you may find your repertoire of positions changes. This is neither (necessarily) a bad thing nor a good thing. It is what it is. Once you get used to an implant, if you are willing to experiment, you will find positions that fit the new you. You may lose some old favorite positions, but you will gain new favorites. Or not. Whatever happens, you will adapt. The important thing is that you will be able to have sex. The really good thing is that you will be able to have sex in one position, and if you want to explore other positions, disengage, change to the new position and penetrate again. And do this without fear of losing your erection. So, do not be concerned about positions.

As far as lack of flexibility, with all the inflatable implants (AMS, Titan, Rigicon and any others across the world) you can choose full rigidity or, with less inflation, any degree of rigidity for your penis. Your partner can enjoy playing with a squishy toy for as long as she (or he) wants, then you can inflate to half-rigid for oral, then three-quarters for "interesting" positions, 90% for vigorous sex or 100% for full-on galloping video-quality intimidation. Degree of rigidity on demand. My LGX is fully as rigid as my best, most intense adolescent erections.

I am not sure what you mean by "overpricing" the reservoir. The reservoir is buried in your abdomen and almost never a factor.

Thank you Lost Sheep for your answer.
You are right.
I think I'm complicating things a bit.
In fact, favorite positions vary from partner to partner.
There are positions that work very well with some women and not with others. Varies a lot. It is always a new experience and we have to adapt to the new circumstances.
I still haven't accepted the fact that things are different now. As the doctor told me at an appointment, things will never be the same again.
It is being very difficult to accept this loss.
Good thing your LGX is working properly.
As Merrix said some time ago, there are FT members who say the implant is fabulous, but they don’t materialize, but then they admit that there are positions that they cannot practice, that take longer to reach orgasm, that lose sensitivity, that the angle does not allow pointing the penis down, that anal sex is very complicated and cannot penetrate, etc.
But there, we have to have the notion that things are as they are and accept to live with a new condition. As the years progress, things only tend to get worse. Is life. As they say here "accept that it hurts less" ...

As for the reservoir issue.
Sorry, I expressed myself badly and didn't notice what I wrote.
I didn't mean overprecing ", but overpress. I mean, I was referring to putting too much pressure on the reservoir.
The question is whether to exert too much force or weight on top of the reservoir, as for example when the woman lies on top of the man and supports the entire body weight on top of the man if there is no risk of pressure to hard the reservoir and damage the same.

Thanks again for your answer and for the reflection you have given me.
Sorry, for my English.

Sorry, for my English.

A proper reservoir placement will result in absolutely no problem with pressing on the reservoir. Your internal organs can move around enough to accommodate a 70 to 150 ml volume quite easily.

Considering the positions in which I could not have sex, my implant has VASTLY increased our choices of positions. As your doctor told you "Things will never be the same again." Yes, things are improved very much.

Just as positions that work very well with some women and not with others.... Look at that in the opposite direction. You are now a different man and some positions that worked well with you in the past work less well and other positions that did not work well before now work much better...with the same woman.

You are embarking on a fresh journey. There is a saying... "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." You are starting anew. Your second act in the play that is your life may well be better than the first act.

Titan XL 28cm no RTE here. I am 10 months post-first implant at age 54. Just posted a detailed update on FT as to what this past 10 months post-implant have been like, maybe this will be of help if you take a look. Our overall experience has been fantastic.

We are extremely sexual, my wife and I, and our occasional guest. I can definitely confirm for you that this implant has freed us to do absolutely, so far, literally anything we want. Zero limitations on positions, zero limitations on duration, and we certainly push the envelope. I lost a little length and girth, which would be annoying if not for the fact that I started with a larger than average dick prior and the fact that sex has just explosively improved with mind and body being freed and not limited anymore.

There is a nuance to learning to pump to different levels of hardness in differing situations, and to learning to deftly release a little fluid out sometimes during a session, depending on what you want to do, then sometimes reinflate. I'm able to adjust on the fly either way. My wife wants maximum inflation when being penetrated anally or vaginally; for oral, and for foreplay, she mostly feels max inflation is not quite what she likes in her mouth, so we pump up half way, or 70% or something like that. It may sound like a bunch of bullshit to have to think through and adjust, but that's not our experience...she's involved and vocal and engaged and as a result she's able to sort of fine tune her (our) shared experience. It's different, man...but it's awesome.
54 yrs. Blessed with highly sexual 52 yr old wife. Pills 10 years, then 9 yrs Trimix. 28 cm Titan Touch XL 2019, Laurence Levine, Rush Univ Med Ctr, Chicago. Implant = nonstop fun. Hypogonadal, so also 10+ years testosterone replacement.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your response.
I read your ten-month update very carefully. I'm very pleased that everything is going well. It is extremely encouraging to read reports like yours.
Regarding the loss of size and thickness that you report, when reading your message, I called my attention to one thing.
It has to do with the number of bombs you use to reach a maximum inflation.
If I remember correctly, he says he uses about 30 pumps to achieve maximum stiffness.
With a 28 CM Titan, it seems like a very small number of bombs.
There are users who get more pumps with smaller cylinders.
Can't this have something to do with the loss of size that do you report?
It was just an idea that came to me ...

From what I have read here on Frank Talk, I have noticed a certain trend with regard to satisfaction with the implant.
In fact, I note that the FT members who report greater satisfaction with the implants are implanted with larger implants, like a size equal to or greater than 22 CM.
I don't remember reading any major complaints from people implanted with Titan XL.
This does not mean, of course, that people with smaller penises do not have excellent results with their implants, but I get the feeling that the greatest number of complaints are coming from men implanted with smaller implants.
Do you think that my finding makes any sense or has any reason to be?
