I love my Titan, but I've never had an AMS so I can't compare.
I admit that when fully deflated, the Titan does feel different. That's gotten way better after two years, but I'm not sure how much is because it has softened up over time and how much is because I've gotten used to it. If I squeeze as much liquid out as possible, it is sort of flat. For me, it's flat vertically, but that may be because I've always dressed with my cock to the right in my pants, mostly level. In addition, I think flat vertically works best because then the two sides can both fold together. If I try to get them flat horizontally, they widen and bump into each other in the center. On the other hand, if I put a few pumps in, so it's still flexible side to side, but with a bit more fluid in it, then everything feels much more natural. Still a bit different, but definitely much better.
Some people really complain about "dog ears" from when the flattened tube bends. That hasn't been an issue for me. My girth is a little above average, which is part of why the doctor recommended Titan, and I wonder whether that makes it easier for the tube to flatten and bend. I can imagine that if the same sized tube was squeezed into a thinner cock, there might be pinching from dog ears in a way that I haven't experienced? I'm just making some guesses here.
So here's how I use my new cock. You can think of this as an
Owners Manual.
In the morning (often in the shower), if I'm just going to be out and about like a regular day, then I fully flatten my cock. Then I get no bulge. If sex is a maybe, like I'm going out on an evening date, then I will put a few pumps in like I described above. Not enough to make it very visible, but enough that it feels more normal, as opposed to vertically flat. Sometimes I'll pump it up a little more. Not so it's a full erection but so it shows a little in my pants. Like it still bends easily to the right (how I normally dress), but it also shows a little as a bulge. (That occasionally got me knowing looks from my ex-girlfriend.) It's not like that's a big deal, but if I happen to go to the bathroom during diner, say, and it seems like things might be headed that direction, then I'll likely add some pumps to get this slight bulge.
If we are at home and things are headed towards sex, I'll add even more. There is a kind of intermediate state where it's still soft enough to bend to the right in underwear, but it's actually hard enough for sex. Before the implant, this level of softness would have never worked for sex, because it would probably mean that it's on the way down. But with the implant, it stays just how you set it. There's this interesting level of "soft hardness" where you definitely have to hold it in order to get it in, but if you squeeze a little at the base to make the front part hard, it'll go in and stay in. It's not how I normally have sex, but it's kind of nice knowing that I'm hard enough to have sex even if I don't sneak in any more pumps. (I never did tell my ex-girlfriend that I had an implant. I don't think she noticed, but I don't know for sure.) Variety is the spice of life, and it does feel different and kind of nice when it's softer. Like, the sensation or her squeezing her pussy on me is a bit different.
Anyway, I really like going down on a woman before we have sex, and that's a great time to pump to whatever level I want for sex. My observation is that once a woman has come on my mouth, she's pretty likely to be up for anything else that I desire. Some women can come from PIV (penis-in-vagina) sex itself, but many don't, so on average, the oral part is me having fun pleasing them, and the PIV sex is them having fun pleasing me. All of that is very different between different women, of course.
Even for PIV sex, I generally don't pump up as hard as I possibly can. Leaving a little flex seems to make some positions easier. But then again, sometimes it is nice to be granite hard.
When I go to bed, if I haven't used my cock all day, I will often put a few pumps in. Not so much that it sticks straight up and tent-poles the blankets, but enough to where it just starts to "lift off" rather than laying completely flat against my body. Why? I don't know. Just a habit that seems to make me happy. Or if it's been flat all day, I might do those extra pumps at the beginning of the evening when I change out of jeans and into more comfortable clothes.
It's funny. As I've gotten more and more used to my bionic cock, it has become second nature to think about how I want it and adjust it at different points during the day. Dressing for the gym? Flatten it completely. Same for thinner dress slacks, especially in a work situation. Changing into jeans? Maybe add a few pumps. The cloth is thicker and so it hides and holds a slight bulge a little better. Hot date? Maybe some more pumps. And so on. Any time I'm in the bathroom or changing my clothes, I just automatically ask myself, is my cock the way I want it, and maybe I make a slight adjustment. Not at all a big deal, but definitely something I've noticed.
Implanted June, 2022 by Dr. Karpman. 22cm Titan with 1.5cm RTE.
