My story, and advice on next steps.

Okay so here’s my story. 45 year old male. Basically screwed my inflow arteries when I was 18. I had the chance to get surgically repaired when I was 25 but Canada healthcare said it was experimental to get a bypass done and rejected claim. Cost was about 50k. Had Ed problems since 18, but a super high sex drive so was able make it work. Was probably mediocre or bad sex but whatever. In my thirties and early forties got on the cialis train, and last year went to see dr Goldstein again and pushed for a bypass but due to loads of bicycle riding he said I screwed the tissue in my perenium so not able to trap blood. So onto injections. So I get on this and I’m on Bimix 20 units, but I think it’s getting less and less effective. Also as suggested when I try to aspirate I get nothing out. Just air. But occasionally I do get the blood and wham it works so well! Anyway due to fact I want to have sex probably once or twice a day I think I’m going to have to go bionic. My other hope would be for radiology to be able to do stenting on arteries 1mm in diameter but I don’t know how long science will take to get there though so I’m siding on the bionic side right now. Any suggestions on how to ensure you hit the corpa cavernous every time? I’m sure when I started it’s like every injection was a home run! Also anyone inject like 4 or 5 times a week for long periods of time? We all know dr recommended is 2 or 3 times max though.

when i first started injecting, i would only do it once a week but have recently started to do much more. now, i have only injected 4 times in a row 3 times now. the first time, the fourth injection was a misfire. the last two times have all been successful but i have now noticed that the amount injected each consecutive day needs to be increased to last the same amount. i injected the same amount (5 units) and each day after the erection would not last as long as the day before. what usually went 3 hours, would be 2 and then 1.5 and then to one hour on the fourth day. also not to mention the ache would last longer the preceding days. from those 3 occasions, i have come to find that going 1 to 2 days in between injections works much better with no need to up the amount. that is just my experience.

I have thin corpora, about 0.2in=5mm, and so the clock method doesn't work well for me, so I feel for a corpus with a thumbnail. I push in very slowly, relocating if there's a lot of pain. I know I'm in the corpus when there's no pain on pushing he plunger, and there's no more resistance to plunger travel than if the needle were in air.

Injections only worked for me for a couple years. They were always a pain to do and can't tell you how many misses/failures I had even using an auto-injector. From all I've read surgeries to repair or replace arteries in the penis rarely are successful.
In your shoes looking at surgeries, I'd definitely do the implant rather than a maybe surgery.

Yes, you will be able to have sex all day long if you want.

Sign me up! My job and girlfriend probably won’t want this, but I do! Also, does anyone know if you can still ride a bicycle? I’m a competitive cyclist, I wish the implant is carbon fibre or titanium for weight savings.

Also what are the side effects of injecting too often? Scar tissue would be noticeable right? Ie. hard tough things under the skin, right?

Although I don't always do it, I find I have much easier time and higher chance of hitting the right spot if I use a VED to pump up to a plump penis before injecting. It gives lots more injection area and the CC are partially engorged with blood and tighter inside the penis. Sometimes my wife is rushing me (wanting it now) and I skip the pumping, but it is definitely easier to avoid a miss if I pump before hand. I'm still learning, but up to over 20 injections with only one miss (and it was a time that I did not pump before hand).

But we have a new game... if I inject and miss (no erection), I have to give her oral sex and lots of finger action until she cums! Can you believe this torture? We can't help but just laugh at the situation... but it usually works out.

Sounds like a win win!!!
