No end to pumping

Postby DesertMan » Thu Sep 19, 2024 10:24 am

I had my surgery two months ago. Everything has gone ok so far. All my questions have been answered by previous posts or from a couple of private chats. Thank you for all of the information which has been invaluable!

I have a recent development. Up to this point when cycling, I reach a point where the pump bulb is hard and I can’t pump further. I have a Titan classic pump. After a few minutes, I can often add a couple of pumps until it gets hard again (won’t allow more pumps). That all seems normal from reading other posts. However, recently, I sometimes can pump much longer and the bulb never gets hard. It allows me to keep pumping. I am at a full erection, but this behavior worries me that there might be a leak in the system.

Give it time

Mine flattens after 100-110 pumps now

I don't have a Titan, but make sure the way you're holding the pump or squeezing it doesn't put it into deflate mode, even just a little bit. On my AMS, I make sure I stay away from the deflate button when I pump, sometimes the way I'm gripping the pump will depress the button just a tiny bit.

Also, after my surgery I could pump 70-80 times and never get to the "marble" people on here would talk about. I was concerned. One night in a 105 degree hot tub I pumped up and I hit the marble at 20 pumps. Seems something maybe softened up inside the pump and seated due to the heat. Since then, I can't get more than 20 pumps in before I'm maxed out.

Thanks for the replies! I used to get the marble that you mentioned between 12 and 18 pumps depending on whether I was in a hot tub or starting cold. Now, I can seemingly pump forever. I have been a little worried that there is either a leak or a kink or something. I will give it more time and I will also try to make sure I don’t hit the release by accident. I do use my palm and maybe I am inadvertently hitting the release sometimes.

It’s normal. There can be a break in period at first.

Also press the deflate button momentarily and release that also may help seat the valve better. My previous titan would do that on occasion. little press and repump all ok.

This happens to me with my AMS 700 CX. I've been wondering about it. Not overly concerned, since I'm nice and hard, but curious whether that's normal.

Thanks again for the replies! I have a Titan classic pump. I attempted pumping at lunch and it worked normally. I paid extra close attention to not hitting the release. I have been using my palm and fingers which I think might have caused me to inadvertently hit it. I will need to try a few more times to be sure that was the problem. I liked the tip to quickly hit the deflate button and pump again. I will try that if it happens again. I feel way better after talking to you guys about this. I was worried about something serious.

i think with the classic pump, once it gets pumped up close to the max each time you pump, some fluid will leak out eventually making it so that as much is being pumped forward into the penis is leaking out by the time the valve closes. This should not be the case with titan OTR since it has a more complicated flow of fluid.

only reason i know this, i have Titan OTR that is broke and my doctor recommend switching to classic pump since its a simpler, more reliable design. Also the way the tubing comes off (3 in a row) is less prone to twisting compared to the triangle orientation of the OTR pump which is more likely to break when twisting.

overall - i think you have nothing to worry about. keep pumping! wish you luck
