From Titan to Titan to Tactra to Titan to Tactra in 3 years

Hell yeah brother.

What was your girth like with the malleable? Did you measure it?

Did you get engorgement w it?

Hell yeah brother.

Did you get engorgement w it?

With engorgement (either cockring, pills or natural blood flow), pretty similar to my original girth. I've mentioned before, but by using the malleable with a cockring, I had the most natural appearance possible and the girth was as close to normal if not normal.

Without engorgement, significantly less (-1/3 or more) when compared to the Titan (unfortunaly I don't have the habit of measuring girth).

The increased risk of infection with each revision, is interesting and should be noted for us younger guys.

My surgeon actually advised me that there wasn't a big risk in revisions, and that he had operated on someone 4 times throughout the past 20 years with success.

Some things to consider when making the decision.

I hope your surgeon is high volume, and you recover from all this.

I know you aren't seeking sympathy, but we can't help but empathise, you are in the situation that we all fear when we take the risk of implant surgery.

Wishing you the best, please keep us updated.

Hey principles, any update on your situation?

It's not really an attitude; it's a reality. I'd be completely devoid of sex by now had I not gotten implanted in the first place, since pills wouldn't give me the confidence boost to even be in a relationship or look out for partners.

ED is multifactorial in the sense that the less historically performant you've been, the less confident and likely you are to seek out those encounters. Now (not exactly now, per se) but when I had a functional implant, I'd look at a woman and know deep in my heart that I could make her deeply sexually satisfied in ways that she likely hadn't experienced before.

At the peak, I can't imagine how a human could compete sexually in performance and/or confidence. Yes, you've seen porn, they're always hard during those 20-30 minutes. Can they be highly sexually performant 3 to 5 times a day, maintain intensity without a hiccup for 30 minutes? Very few men can achieve that consistent level of performance. That's why I say, good cardio/flexibility, a quality prosthesis, some creativity, and grooming will make any woman's day.

That level of confidence and consistency, a regular well-functioning natural penis could never achieve. But yes, those are my own benchmarks, and not everybody views the ability to have sex indefinitely as a significant plus. It's just the mentality I was able to achieve due to the consistency of performance with my Titan at its peak that I could've never achieved naturally. So, disregarding the financial and surgical discomfort associated with the surgeries (which does take a massive toll), I'd not have had sex and/or maintained a relationship if not for the implants. I'm an advocate of technology in all forms, and a penile implant is certainly one of them.

I'm a healthy 31-year-old with zero comorbidities and in good shape/VO2 max. The most severe "comorbidity" that drastically increases infection risk is the number of revisions/surgeries you've had. And you either get a revision because of an improper installation (due to anatomical constraints and/or team surgical experience) or you experience a device malfunction. I faced the malfunction 26 months in. That was my "comorbidity" since then.

Here's an exerpt from a paper explaining this: (very good paper on infections):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl ... 37-276.pdf

6. Revision surgery
Surgical failure can be attributed to device malfunction and/or infection. IPP revision surgery, whether due to either cause, comes with increased risk of postoperative infection. Estimates of infection rates following revision surgery have been as high as 10.0% to 13.3% compared to 0.46% to 2.00% in virgin cases [17-21].
...
In a small, retrospective series (n=44), Montgomery et al [23] noted a step-wise increase in rate of postoperative infection after stratifying patients
by the number of prior IPP surgeries: 1 (6.8%; 3/44), 2
(18.2%; 4/22), 3 (33.3%; 4/12), 4 (50.0%; 4/8), and 5 (100%;
2/2). The increased incidence of postoperative infection
following revision surgery is likely multifactorial with
scar formation, reduced host resistance, and biofilms
each playing a role.

So, according to this study, which utilized a limited sample size, having undergone four surgeries places me at a 50% likelihood of infection during the fifth procedure, with the probability nearing 100% by the sixth. The study postulates that the augmented incidence of postoperative infection following revision surgery can be multifactorially attributed to factors such as scar formation, compromised host resistance, and the presence of biofilms.
each playing a role.

This study was here before, it was on small scale of people which is making their % results useless on huge scale, names of surgeons weren´t know and no one knows how experienced they were, what techniques they used and its few years back and things evolved so far, Dr. Eid published his infection rates on revisions and it was 26% by 5th revision, which is drastical difference in two studies, 26% vs 100% is crazy, also there are many guys with 4th revisions without getting infected, I´m sorry for your trouble and wish you happy ending in this story so you can have normal sexual life till old age, since you seems to be emotionally okay might I ask you what those revisions and infections
are doing with your size shape, sensitivity, pain? I always tought infection = extreme shrinkage, cold, numb penis afterwards

Where is that study by Eid? Not sure the math makes sense. His website states his revision rate of infection is .9%.

Principles wuold you like to share your surgeons names?

Hi Principles, I hope you are doing well.
Do you have any updates on your current situation?
