Sharp tips and not centered

Hey guys,

Had sex for the first time after 7 weeks post op yesterday and was painful for me. I couldn’t thrust hard because the tips were hurting.

Also they felt sharp for my partner and it felt like scratching for them. I have a problem because one tip is not centered and pokes out which makes penetration painful for my partner.

Has anyone gone through this and fixed it?

Wtf do I do?

My Journey Starts Tomorrow Morning

Had prostate cancer and had to have my prostate removed a few years ago. Very hastily since after testing it was discovered the type of cancer that I had breaks out and heads toward bones. Used pills and shots for years and none of this is working now (58yr old).

So tomorrow the plan is to install a Coloplast Titan. Not sure how it will all work out. My junk has shrunk so bad over the last few years, not sure what expect.

It is encouraging hearing all the positive stories posted here and I hope I can be another positive contribution. I'll try and keep this updated so others who are in my situation can possibly learn from my experience.

Anyone here with the AMS 700 LGX?

First off I wanna salute all you guys in this subreddit, the majority of you I've seen are happy with your choice & have a much better quality of life now. Next month is my appointment with my urologist, I'm already like 99% sure my insurance is going to cover my implant because - type 1 diabetic, no response to cialis or pills, barely any to trimix & also feels like it caused damage, & I'm on disability unfortunately unable to work again from a leg injury resulting in amputation. What's probably unbelievable in my case is that I'm a really attractive guy who gets lots of attention from women, & my sexual experiences the past 6 years have been off & on horrible due to this ED... embarrassing moments many of you fellas have probably been traumatized by as well. Having such incredible luck with women & having to make excuses to not hook up with them is so emasculating, crushes your ego, yada yada, you guys already know!

My question here for the veterans is - I've read your comments about losing size, up to ½ an inch, & that's definitely a bummer, but having a operating dick is better than a smaller one I suppose. BUT I also have read on here & on other articles, that the AMS 700 LGX boasts a potential 25% gain in length and a 20mm gain in girth...that sounds unbelievable to me. Can anyone here vouch for this claim? Now are they saying a 25% gain of what was LOST, or an overall gain? That's my main question going in, because I'm pretty sure the penis will atrophy once an implants inside it anyways, but to regain even a quarter of the loss back would make me choose the AMS! Please give your honest advice if you're happy with it, or if you suggest a different model. Appreciate it guys!

Day 9 update

9 days after surgery. Swelling is down quite a bit, icing several times a day. Still in some definite pain although not enough for oxy. Went to the Docs for a follow up appointment, he said everything looked good, he cycled it and was pleased how it all worked and will have me cycling on the next appointment at 6/6. The incision is probably the uncomfortable at this point.

Position during pumping

10 weeks since I received my AMA 700 CX with the MS pump.

I have found I am most comfortable pumping while laying on my back. Seated has been OK. While standing up I am more likely to “slip” on the bulb.

What are your experiences? Any tips?

Four years post-opp today.

Today May 20, 2026 marks four years since my implant surgery. I have the Boston Scientific AMS 700 CX with MS series pump. 18cm with 1cm RTE. My length is the same as directly before surgery and my girth increased a little. I'm happy to say that it has not failed me once. I'm sure that not everyone is the same and that learning your new penis takes a little time and discovery. I like having a hard reliable erection, but I especially like the fact that my depression over ED is gone. My feelings of worthlessness are gone. I no longer have performance anxiety. The mental health aspects are something that doesn't get discussed often enough and openly with men. In fact I only discuss it here because of the fact that nobody knows who I am. It was hard for me to talk to my doctor about when I first started having ED issues. Mine started in my mid 30s and Viagra wasn't even on the market yet. Now you have commercials on network television in prime time. It's still an embarrassing thing

I hope someone considering surgery reads this and I've encouraged them to move forward. When all else fails and you've tried it all talk to a specialist and get on with your life.

How long did it take after surgery before you could Cycle the Implant?

Recently I interviewed a Urologist about getting a Titan implant and he said he would have me wait 6 weeks before cycling the implant. I would think that’s kind of a long time where your body creates scar tissue prior to inflation. Then I’ve also seen other members on here start cycling 1-2 weeks after the procedure. If you were happy with your result, saving or enhancing your size, please let me know your surgeons name, since I definitely won’t be considering the urologist I just met with.

I do porn and I’ve decided to get an implant (36m)

So I think I’m going to pull the trigger . My insurance agreed to cover the cost . I’m terrified. I’ve been abusing injections for a few years and have some fibrosis . Unfortunately with work I will travel to a city and have to do 4-7 scenes over the course of a weekend . So 4-7 injections at least . Sometimes double or triple that if they don’t work the first time .
I’ve been doing alot of soul searching . I guess I had to decide between slowing down in my career or getting the implant . I know it’s supposed to be a last resort but I guess for me I’m doing it for an edge in my profession.
It’s more of a logistical thing for me.
I do have moderate ED and use pills / injections when I’m not working and occasionally don’t use anything .
But when it comes time to work I’m pretty useless without Bimix. Just due to nerves and challenging positions . Being in a hot tub / having sex on a pool table . Twisting and turning to get the best angle it’s tough to maintain an erection.
I had a video shoot yesterday and had some bruising on my penis from needles that I was self conscious about and coincidently there was a guy there (not a performer ) but he was married to one of the girls and was telling me he had an implant and he loved it . He was in his late 70s
I realize at my age I’ll probably have more than a couple implants in my lifetime .
I’ve thought about quitting porn but it’s really my passion and it’s not an option.

FINALLY!! After all this time-I've joined the BrotherHood-Titan Coloplast

Thank God that my E.D. and fear of Sexual Embarrassment is over. My journey was a tough, long trek to say the least. My original operation date was 09/09/24. My doctor had me knocked out under Anastesia and everything but when I woke up I found out that she cancelled the operation because I had a real bad Osteomilytis Infection in the bone of my Right Big Toe. I was so hurt and disappointed that I literally cried as I was rolled out to the exit in my wheelchair to go home that day. I felt like such a weak man that day going forward. But, I stuck to my Meds faithfully from that day forward. It was tough, to say the least. And then finally, my MRI in February 2026 finally cleared me of my infection to qualify for the BIONIC BROTHERHOOD. Fast Forward, I had my Titan Coloplast operation yesterday 05/18/26 at 9 a.m. by Dr. Jaclyn Milose at Oakwood Hospital Dearborn, MI. I was given the 20cm one with 2.5 tip extender on the left corpora and 1.5 tip extender on the right corpora. I AM SO HAPPY ALREADY!! I feel so sexually confident, once again like I did when I was younger. I am a 53 year old Type 2 Diabetic and have been dealing with ED for about the last 6 or 7 years or so. But, it is over now! Help me Celebrate my new MEMERSHIP INTO THE BIONIC BROTHERHOOD!!!!!

Cycling questions

How long after surgery do you cycle for? And for how many minutes / hours a day. I’m currently 7 weeks post op and doc has told me I only need to cycle 30 mins a day for next 3 months.

But if I wanna maximise length and girth what do you guys reckon is necessary?

Scrotum swelling after 13 days post surgery

Hey guys. What is going on. At 13 days postop I have significant swelling. My surgery went smoothly. I had very little pain and virtually no swelling. Then all of a sudden at day 11-12 swelling greatly increased and there is a slight increase in pain. Why would there be no swelling for almost two weeks and then all of a sudden significant swelling. The actual device in the scrotum started hurting a bit as well. Not terrible but noticeable.

One other thing, a family member had to be hospitalized the past 3 days so I had no choice but to walk around hospitals and carrying light objects as they were unable to carry anything. Could this be related to the sudden swelling.

Day 6 update

Able to shower now and that is huge for feeling human again. Incision isn’t bleeding and more. Pulling down the pump is still painful as hell and that brings me to my first question, when will the pain and discomfort stop? I switched from the jock strap/dressings from the hospital into my own underwear which has a decent amount of support with some sponges. While it’s definitely more comfortable my balls still hurt like hell. Both on the incision and generally. I ice several times a day but doesn’t provide a lot of relief.

Question

“So how does this work? If I’m 3 inches, can I go to like 8 inches? Or is it more like if I’m 3 inches, I can go to 5 inches?” How big can you actually go? Im guessing it depends on your current penis size right?
Idk if what I am saying makes sense.

Disclosing a penile implant in dating/FWB situations — when and how have others handled this?

I’m a 67M gay man with a penile implant following prostate cancer treatment. Functionally, everything works well and it doesn’t interfere with sex at all.

In casual/FWB situations, I usually don’t mention it. There’s no visible indication, and it doesn’t affect performance. I either handle things privately beforehand or know how to manage it quickly.

Where I get uncertain is timing and context.

With one past partner where things were becoming more serious, I disclosed both my implant and a chronic GI condition. That felt appropriate at the time because the relationship was becoming emotionally deeper.

Right now I’m in a more fluid FWB/situationship dynamic. There’s strong emotional and sexual connection, but no clear “relationship trajectory.” So I’m unsure whether disclosure is something I should:

  • bring up proactively,
  • wait until things become more serious,
  • or only disclose if asked directly.

I’m also not sure how people typically frame it—medical, casual, or as part of a deeper conversation.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or input.

Could somebody please detail the process of “cycling”? Thanks in advance.

2-1/2 years post prostatectomy and find myself seriously considering an implant. I am curious about “cycling” that I see mentioned here quite often. Is it just inflating and deflating in repetition to get everything stretched out properly? Also, is this procedure (the implant itself) performed more in the hospital or do some get done at the doctor’s location? Asking because it’s offered referred to as an “out-patient” procedure. Thanks!

Took it on its first test drive

HOLY FUCK. WOW. I’m speechless.

I’m one month post op, and got cleared to use it, so I did last night with my husband and a friend of ours. I haven’t had a night like since I was a kid!

Best decision of my life. Hands down. No discussion.

If you are even THINKING about doing this, you should. It is 100% worth it!!!

Thank you to all in this /r. You guys have really helped me out through this whole process with your advice and experiences. ❤️
