Even if you hear from 100 guys who have had an implant for 10+ years that is no guarantee you will have the same result, sorry. Using a well known surgeon who has done implants for a long time is your best option. Following the surgeon's aftercare instructions will maximize results with less chance for issues.

nine years of implant here. Sorry but your question doesn't make sense.. it's so difficult to find someone who has an implant for ten years and in additino you also ask that it be used once a day. there are man with implants that last three years with minimal use and there are man who have implants for over five years and use them several times a day.
These are not the parameters to know how long your future implant will last.

That’s seriously impressive! How often are you taking this thing for a spin each month? I mean, with these mechanical gadgets, I kind of thought the rule was “the more you use it, the sooner you lose it” (unless, of course, you’ve got one of those lemon devices!).

Good idea but false. We had a member that got an IPP. During his recovery time he had a near fatal stroke. The stroke cost him his libido. He NEVER used his implant. He would inflate it every few months. His implant failed after a few years. Literally never used it. So the more you use it, the quicker it fails is false.

Btw, do you have a partner that will have sex with you twice a day?? You aren't even measuring success correctly.

My Coloplast Titan is with me for almost 10 years. I‘m so happy with it. Sex once or twice a day? That would be great. However I have inflated mine every day for a couple of hours which is equal to sex, in my case anyway. Because of my age I won‘t damage the implant whilst having sex…

Oh wow. So, it’s confirmed, this amazing leaky IPP might fail even before it sees any action. What on earth could have caused his implant to bail out so early?

My partner is special. She is a pneumatic stroker fitted with Riley Reid's Utopia Fleshlight. She rides me until orgasm in cowgirl (every morning) or reverse cowgirl position (every evening).

I just looked his story up. His implant lasted about 12 years of not being used before it failed for unknown reasons.

My first AMS LGX lasted 7 years . Sex a couple of times a week on average. My theory is that the implant life is related to how much general movement the deflated implant is subjected to rather than how many times it's inflated. Movement from walking, exercising etc causing friction and wear within the multi-layer structure of the cylinder walls in the region of the dog ears. I was jogging 5km every day for the first 4 years of the first implant and I believe that was a key factor in the relatively early failure. AMS uses a multi layer structure with a low friction coating between the layers so it is easy to imagine the dog ears being an eventual failure point.
When inflated hard, the dog ears disappear and there would be little movement between the cylinder layers.

the main reason that helps your prosthesis last so many years is the way it is implanted. the pump must be behind the testicles, so that the tubes are hidden and not exposed to friction during sex. if you have the pump in front, especially if you have the titan, it will presumably shorten the life of the implant. the testicles in front of the pump will serve to cushion the shocks of sex. the cylinders must also be inserted correctly and the tips must enter halfway or more inside the glans.

In your case, was it the cylinders that failed? Hopefully the CX has stronger cylinders.

can you pump it up part way until there are no dog ears ?
