2nd bite of the Intro cherry

[Ray Johnson]

Probably not allowed a second intro message but, f*ck it, here goes:

First off I’ve found urologists in the uk pretty useless in diagnosing my complaint. Over a decade, I’ve had testosterone checks, Doppler, blood tests; they’ve all had a poke around in my breadbox, these doctors, and found nothing wrong. One professional, I shit you not, suggested it might be something in the tap-water causing my problem, at which point you just wanna butt the desk in despair.

Now, it seems clear to me, what with my Willy being able to jump up only to go limp again, that I’ve probably got some sort of venous leak thing going on; my situation certainly accords with some of the experiences I’ve read on Franktalk.

So, here’s how it is: pills work fine, have done for a decade. But the shame, pain and indignity of my condition never subsides. Now, looking forward, there may well come a time when injections and even implants become a necessity. And here we come to the crux of the matter: I would be delighted if cock rings worked for the old venous leak. My reluctance to use em thus far stems from a fear that the rings might compound and develop the leak rather than act as a (temporary) quick-fix for it.

I’d love to know what your experiences of cock rings with venous leak are like and any other short-term fixes short of needles and implants you would advocate. I know there’s a specific cock ring thread but figure I’ll get more prompt replies in the Intros folder.

Without wishing to end histrionically, I’ve pondered suicide a lot but have a child I adore, a partner I’m pretty fond of, and a pretty solid social and family circle. So suicide is out and I’ve just gotta muddle through as best I can.

You say pills work fine; if that is the case then you are totally good as you are. Stick with the pills. I would not try the cock ring if the pills are working well, like you said they can make the venous leak worse in the long run.
