Reflections 18 months post-Implant
Posted: Thu May 02, 2019 6:32 pm
Hard to believe but it's been 18 months since I was implanted with a Titan 22 cm. Figured it was time to give the good, the bad & the reality of my experiences with it. I'm also attaching two recent photos, one fully pumped and one deflated. That's the result. Happy to help others in any way, share more, show & tell, etc. It's a huge step, and knowledge is definitely power. Suffering in silence is the worst.
The Good
* Never, ever having to worry about getting it up again. Can't emphasize that enough. I got so tired of taking all the pills (never used injections, hated the idea), worrying about if would I have sex, when should I take them, would they work, what food should or shouldn't I eat, did I have the pill in my pocket, etc. etc. All of that is gone. If I want to get hard, I just pump and done
* Repeat the first point
* My dick seems to get rave reviews
* Didn't lose any width or girth
* I do EVERYTHING I did before the implant. Skiing, crossfit, biking, you name it. Nothing hurts, nothing gets hurt
* It's pretty & quick easy to inflate, and easy to make it be organic, almost natural, during sex. I don't inflate all at once, but do it slowly as the foreplay grows
* I am more sexual because of the confidence boost. I jerk off a lot more because I don't ever have to worry about not being horny enough for the next time I might have sex and not being able to get it up.
* Recovery was quick and pretty easy (even if the first two days were brutal). Didn't have much swelling. The catheter was the worst
* Had a pump revision and love the placement of the pump (sideways behind my testicles). Easy access and pretty well hidden.
The Bad
It's definitely not all good. There are some things I still dislike after a year and a half:
* My cock flaccid doesn't look like it used to; It's like I have a semi-woody at all times; it's thick all the time and doesn’t hang totally down like a standard flaccid one does
* At the gym I have to rearrange it subtly before changing and often kinda hide it with a towel
* Anyone who fumbles around with your manhood, is going to notice the pump. There's no way not too. You have this giant thing in your nuts. There are a lot of different ways you can explain it, but it's there and it's gonna get funny looks until you say something about it
* If I feel around the base of the scrotum I can feel the wiring too. It's not visible, but you can feel it
* When flaccid, you can feel the cylinders inside your shaft. It's like two mini garden hoses in there. It doesn't feel like the soft tissue that was in there before. And if you squeeze the head when not inflated you can feel the ends of the tubes
* It's sometimes hard to ejaculate. I find it very hard to get off from a blow job now, which wasn't the case before. Think this is different for everyone. But for me head doesn't work anymore. I need to fuck or jerk off. It take me longer either way now, but still have intense orgasms and shoot a full amount.
* I can't wear boxers or even boxer briefs any more. Cock doesn't lie flat enough. I can only wear briefs that really support, generally with shaft pushed downward.
*When I inflate, the pump makes a squeeching noise if I don't do it very deliberately and squeeze the pump slowly. I talk or otherwise make noise to mask it and no one has ever noticed.
* Pump initially was way too low in my scrotum and stuck out below my testicles. I had a revision and Dr. Eid swapped out the pump and placed it sideways behind my testicles. I like that much, much more.
* In general I have to rearrange things a lot
* If someone sits on my lap, I have to be careful or it feels like I have a semi
* For the first week or so after surgery, I thought 'Oh my God, what have I done to myself.' Thank heavens that faded
