My doctor really didn't give a choice. He said with my size I didn't need a Titan so that was ruled out and he said that he would use whatever was necessary to give the best results in my situation. I asked about the LGX and he said for my situation it wasn't necessarily the best option. I had a lot of calcified PD plaques and fibroses that had to be cleaned up and he said the CX was better to correct my specific issues.
As far as deflated firmness, I don't have any basis for comparison since this is my first implant. When I completely deflate, squeezing out *ALL* saline, it is a floppy noodle (I call it "road-kill" because the cylinders are flat and wide). Right after completely deflating, it will point as near "STRAIGHT DOWN" as is possible with my balls being in the way.
Within about 10 minutes though, my cavernosal tissues start to relax and plump up because they are no longer being compressed by the now deflated cylinders. At that time it does get a bit firmer but I think it's more because now there are organic tissues as well as the cylinders both occupying the space that once only contained organic tissue.
I frequently wear overnight disposable briefs at night for convenience (a habit I developed when I had severe BPH so I didn't have to get up several times overnight) and when I wear them I fold my penis down to my crotch. That can over time cause some soreness but I don't think it's kinks so much as putting stress on my corporotomies which are right at the base of my penis. When I got kinks during the first couple of months, prior to reaching the maximum length from the implant, I would get sharp pains or twinges at times in the sides of my penis and squeezing at the location of the pain would redistribute the kink and the twinge would subside.
