My guy is pretty small when relaxed too and I'd use a 5/16" needle for that and am VERY careful. I hit the urethra once (in about 80 jabs). But we practice extensive foreplay/roleplay (nothing kinky) and he comes up about halfway and it gives me a much better target in depth and in being able to see veins. Then I use a 1/2" needle. I got a bad hematoma a short while back (first time, see thread) when I was careless and rushed. Someone made a good suggestion to do it in good direct sunlight if possible and that was a great suggestion. You can really see the smaller veins. As far as "success" I get varied results - great normally to OK sometimes. Dunno why. Haven't been able to correlate it yet, except for the allergic reactions times.
But I am honing in recently on a great protocol for me. I did run into an allergic issue with one of the two Tri-Mix components and am evaluating that now with an allergist to get back to at least a Bi-Mix. Alprostadil (prostoglandin) works fine (on that now temporarily at ~42 mcg/injection), it's either the papavarine or phentolomine.
Unlike some seem to report, I do not get a 25 year-old's rock hard purple bulging cat-can't-scratch-it boner on my injections. It's about 95%+, at 2 o'clock and bigger around than before and better than on pills for the past 10 years (at max doses). It does limit some positions. I think there is merit in exercising the "unit" to condition and increase blood flow and corposa capacity. Use it or loose it especially when older. I am considering a vacuum pump to assist in exercising it. I also use blood flow enhancing herbs like L-Arginine, ginseng, and others. I do not recall the veins bulging so much when younger.
At any rate, the wife reports it is now usually better than it has ever been BECAUSE of the longer lasting boner and lower tendancy to go off early. I feel the head is desensitized as we get older and for me the ache of the alprostadil (especially in a Caverject mix) can inhibit ejaculation. Plus for awhile we were on it too often without recharging (for me). Every 3-4 days (2-3 times a week) is about right. Like I say, work out a protocol for you.
Sorry this rambled and took too long.
