Titan deflation and flaccid

[merrix]

Hi guys

I am 19 days post-op with a Titan 24 cm. Started cycling day 13, so I am still a newbie and probably haven't developed the final skills yet...
When I deflate, to get the best result, I press and hold the release valve with one hand and forcefully squeeze the penis with the other hand for quite some time (up to 20-30 seconds). This gives me a deflated state where I can feel the cylinders go flat in the penis.
However, an hour later, after movement, the cylinders in the shaft of the penis are definitely not completely empty as in flat anymore.
What I am wondering is where to fluid comes from.

I see two possibilities:
1 - The reservoir leeks back some fluid to the cylinders over time and with movement.
2 - The deflation is complete in the shaft of the penis (which is squeezed), but not in the part of the cylinders which are inside the body (can't be squeezed). Later, the fluid spreads evenly all over the cylinders, meaning the cylinders in the shaft will 'get' their proportional share of the fluid which was remaining in the internal part of the cylinders.

The difference in the flaccid angle is that immediately after deflation, when the cylinders in the shaft are completely empty and flat, my flaccid points to 4-4:30. However, an hour later, when they are slightly refilled, it points around 3:30. I am quite sure the flaccid will continue to go lower and lower, it is already a big difference over the last few days.

My questions:

- What do you guys think the 'refill' comes from, option 1 or 2 above?
and
- What is the angle of your Titans' flaccids now and what was it in the early days of cycling?

Looking forward to your answers, thanks in advance.

I think reason #2 is the most likely. I have experienced the same and have read this same thing earlier on this boad. Mine still stays very soft but not "flat" like when I first deflate. Without underwear, mine sticks straight out and down toward 4 o'clock. I wear fairly tight jockeys to keep myself up against my belly and to the right... maybe at 2 o'clock... If I am "too limp" it wants to ride down to about 7 o'clock, where it wants to "fold"..... a reminder of my first, botched implant....

Be patient, wait and worry... then go and enjoy....

Good luck!!!!

Number two I would think. I'm on my back when deflating, then the penis looks oh shame. When I get up after a short while the penis looks quite full. When I go to the horizontel state again, the penis will become strange looking again and soft - because the fluit went from the front to the rear. Same with you I suppose.

Thanks guys.

Strongagain: when you stand up where's your flaccid pointing at? Which angle?

#2 option

When flaccid it is around 5 but never lays down as it did before the implant. When i was first implanted it seemed to ride higher.

Overtime, it will settle down more but the solution does move around. With movement at times get a partial.....

Thanks guys.

I would say it's between 5 and 6. No reason to complain about the angle anymore.

My AMS CX is easy to deflate but shaft definitely has blood flow into space around deflated cylinders especially if I am standing or immediately after sex. I can feel the flattened cylinders but have pretty good girth that when squeezed does not send fluid back through the pump like it does when I deflate the cylinder inflated penis. I can feel and hear when it is fluid in the cylinders being returned and not when I squeeze my re-inflated penis when standing suggesting it is not saline moving around or leaking back in but blood around the outside of the cylinders. This is consistent with the response to stimulation I still get. My two cents.

Interesting theory. I personally think it sounds unlikely, at least it was something I never considered.
That is however a very poor indicator on whether it's true or not...

Another question guys:

When you are deflated, do your cylinders bend or bulge? Or do they stay straight and nice like when they are inflated?
Mine bulge. I see it as it simply is the penis retracting when deflated, and since the Titan cylinders don't retract and shrink in length when deflated like an AMS LGX does, I suppose this is simply the retracting force of the penis being stronger than the cylinders ability to stay straight in deflated mode.
Comments?

More than a theory but who knows if applicable to you. I thought a more positive possibility for you than auto inflation issues for you.

Yes, if one man get a decent erection after implant removal, it should be possible that men with an implant can get enough blood in the cavernosa to change the feel of the flaccid.
Agree!
