Still have not pulled the trigger on injections yet. My yearly physical comes next month and then I will ask for a referral to a urologist.

For those who use the needle...have you ever tried a topical deadning ointment (much the same as a Dentist uses to deadend your gums prior to Novocain injections) ?

As long as you did not apply the numbing treatment beyond the injection point...it seems that it would have no adverse affect on your injection erection. Any comments?

No need for a numbing treatment. The discomfort level is not much more than a mosquito bite. The 30 gauge, 1/2 inch needle syringe works best for me. You can get a thinner 31 gauge, 5/16 inch needle syringe; however, I have encountered several bent needles attempting to push it through the smooth muscle of the tunica. Neither results it any significant discomfort.

Mike ....
I will admit to very similar feelings on my first self administered injection. (Initial shot was in Uro's office,,, my memory of that was "what a great hardon"... rather than the pain of the shot)

My suggestion:
1. open alcohol pad.... wipe top of vial
2. load syringe
3: wipe pad on injection site
tell yourself, "I don't have to continue if I don't want to"
take aim... "do I care if it hurts a little?"
"do I really want to see this thing get hard like it did when I was a kid?"

I bet you do it !!!

MikeZee,

Well it's still a good question (and oh, by the way, you ARE a CandyAss for asking!!! Yah!!) .

But here is what I have noted thru all my injections. I notice that I almost feel nothing when the needle goes into the skin itself. Then as it digs in (I do injection verrrryyyy slowly -- maybe I AM a CandyAss too???) ...I often feel a sharper twinge along the way. I assume that is because it hit a nerve tendril or something. I don't think it is the sheath to the canvernosa .. just something in between.

So, putting a topical pain deadener on probably would not do any good for subcutaneous deadening?

But bottom line is you don't need it anyways .. even if it was effective.

My friend: How long have you gone without a solid penetrating erection? Just think about the prized result. Its a mental thing, get past the "it might hurt", so what even if you do encounter a little pinch, just go for the glory!

Good luck Mate!

Just to confirm what others have said. There is no value in a topical numbing product. You just need to gain some experience with inserting the tiny needle. Once you do it a few times, it becomes no big deal. Yes, we were all candy asses as the beginning.

Your just like the rest of us it's not natural to stick a needle in your penis, but like these other guys have told you when you get the results over time like the rest of us it won't be a big deal anymore good luck!!!!

Occasionally a good rum & coke, can't even feel it then.

Mike, it does not hurt. The idea is worse than the actual injection. I do deep breathing exercises before to get nice and relaxed. The rock hard throbbing 18 year old style erection is well worth it.

I agree with 'JimSteers'. I'm a diebetic and use my insulin serenges which are 30 gauge for injecting myself.

I massage myself first to get some size and then start pushing the needle very slowly into the side of my penis. I continue to push the needle until fully 'home'. I experience very minimal pain. In fact, the thought of 'driving it in' is a turn on for me.
