Thought I'd broken it on day three of cycling

[Kiwias]

Absolute panic this morning. I'm on day three of cycling my titan.
I've done it twice a day for the last 2 days since being given permission.
First day I managed to get to 11 pumps before it became too hard to pump and painful.
Second day I reached 13 pumps with the same result.
This morning I got in the bath for a cycle, gave the pump a quick pull down to get everything in place.
Then I started pumping. The first thing I noticed was that it was much easier to pump. The pump felt much softer and I was quite pleased.
Got to about 10 pumps and nothing appeared to be happening, 13 the same thing. Started to panic thinking I had broken it and was just emptying the reservoir into my tissue some where. I kept on going with my anxiety rising even further. Finally at 20 pumps I could see something was happening and by 25 it was hard and painful.
I was only slightly relieved, still thinking it was broken and would slowly deflate. However it stayed hard until I deflated 40 minutes later.

I then consulted with my little AI oracles ChstGPT and Grok.
While I don't fully trust their advice they both have very similar explanations about the capsule softening. Grok called it this “capsule stretch breakthrough” or “softening/loosening" and even gave me some references, including the Titan manual. Apparently it's common but usually happens a bit later.
I've now had a second session this afternoon and all appears well. Got to 23 pumps this time before I had to stop.
I must admit I'm now relieved but still can't get my head around how it all changed so fast.
Can anyone chip in to tell me whether this is a common experience or am I a bit of an exception?

I would say that it is common to have weird shit happen. Whether it’s this weird shit or that weird shit, breaking in the implant results in weird shit. Weird pumping, weird dog ears, weird shapes, weird sensitivity… it is all going to be weird for a while. It’s the right attitude to not freak out just because you are experiencing something new and different; it will likely change again shortly.

Eventually everything settles down and it all becomes a lot more predictable, your implant gets used to you and you get used to your implant. But you still have many shifting experiences to come over the next months.

This SAME SHIT happened to me with my LGX, so the problem spans all models. Yes, I contacted my doctor convinced it was something serious, but no; everything just takes time to limber up. Little tip: next time that happens, try little, tiny baby-pumps. That worked for me.

Thanks Letoman and FuckedOne. Glad to hear the weirdness is not down to me. It got even weirder last night. It dropped right back from 25 pumps to 9 pumps.
I really can't understand the physics behind this but, it is what it is, and I have stopped worrying about it.
Roll on stability!

Oh yah. For the first three months you will notice something new almost daily. If not today within two days something will be different. Especially during sex.

The warm water in your bath softened the pump bulb; why it was easier to pump Same thing happens when you try cycling sitting in a hot tub.

The weirdness gets weirder. It took 43 pumps this morning and my dick only measured 6.3 X 4.25. Previously it was 7.1 X 4.5.
Both Grok and ChatGPT tell me this is normal with aggressive cycling but a bit ahead of schedule. They also say it will settle into something more predictable over the next few weeks.
Still can't get my head around it as it only took 9 pumps last night.
On a positive note I definitely maxed out as I could only get a half pump in on the last squeeze. Also the pain level definitely dropped as well which I'm taking as a good sign.

What do you mean it will be different specially in sex?

È successo anche a me con un CX (impiantato da appena un mese). Mi sono poi reso conto che, inavvertitamente, trasferito un po' di pressione alla valvola di svuotamento rendendo meno efficaci le pressioni con la sensazione di un bulbo ammorbidito. Prova a premere nella zona centrale del bulbo e quando senti la pompa morbida sposta la presa dove la senti più dura. Dovresti fare in modo di trovare il punto di maggior resistenza sulla pompa se la senti troppo cedevole cambia posizione delle dita finché non la senti di nuovo dura. Per vincere la esistenza uso indice e nocca del pollice per incrementare l forza. A quel punto mi bastano circa 12 pompate e mi sembra di esplodere. Se ti va prova.

The vast majority of us have only had one dick our entire lives. Our range of experience as to how a dick feels is limited to that one experience. Once you get an implant, everything is mixed up. How it feels, it’s shape, what you need to do to get off. All the nerves are being rerouted through your system. Overall it’s a big shock to the system. Not just that, but you are actively recovering and changing over several months following implantation. So the feelings are going to change a lot in those first months.

Particularly for sex, that means many changes. You might find positions you loved before don’t work as well. You might find particular types of friction are painful or don’t have the effect they used to. You may experience orgasm changes that range from not being able to have them to shooting blasts of cum five feet in the air (happened to me at first, unfortunately went away!).

Once your body adjusts to the implant, all of that settles down and goes away. I can’t say that you go back to what you used to be like, I think your tastes and desires change, but they settle down and become predictable, and so it becomes like before in that you have a better understanding of how your new dick works and how to get yourself off.

I think the point should be to expect lots of changes and be OK with it. The vast majority of complaints I see on this board are from guys that are finding that the implant isn’t meeting their expectations in some way, it could be based on size or functionality or how it feels.

On the other hand, most of the guys that are really happy about it focus on the positive - they have a hard dick on demand - and are flexible enough to trust in the process. For example, I also had a hard time cumming from sex for a while. Sometimes I would literally fuck for two hours and could not cum. But rather than get down about that, I just kept at it and kept fucking. Now, 18 months in, I am much better at cumming when I want to. The thing to remember is that it is a process, things are going to change, and that you need time to get used to your new dick, and it needs to get used to you.
