I don't have an implant. I use alprostadil injections and have for 11 years.
Yes having an erection, by any means, can reduce the climaturia, but not necessarily. Try to educate yourself with some research. A quick DuckDuckGo search just now turned up a number of hits. This one was on top:

But oh well, I'll share my experience. After my RP I found pills ineffective. The VED with rings worked but certainly wasn't ideal. Injections worked well at producing an erection but there was a learning curve. But this thread isn't about that. By the way I was unable to reach the big "O" by any manner flaccid. I even bought a Viberect, a waste.
Anyhow, when I did have orgasms there weren't little dribbles of pee. I was shooting jets of it with force. My wife wasn't in to golden showers. What was I going to do?
Practice! Yeah I was choking that chicken a lot. I started by clamping down on the kegels and other pelvic muscles at the start of the "O". This would then stop the pee, mostly, but also ruined the "O". Darn it! Well I continued to practice and got to where I could clamp down and hold the pee, mostly, if I concentrated and still get
some pleasant "O" sensations. But sometimes I'd just let er rip just so I could get a good one.
Well practice continued. I strangled many a chicken. I eventually got to where with little concentration I could clamp down sufficiently to avoid the waterworks and have a fairly satisfying "O". But eventually I got to where I could clamp sufficiently, out of habit with little to no concentration required, and have a very good and sometimes great "O". Then I took it to my wife. Prior to that she just had to understand that some "therapy" and learning had to take place. Well if your girl likes golden showers I guess she could join you in the process. My wife is pretty understanding but that would have been a bridge too far.
So what was going on. Well part was strengthening and training my pelvic muscles. Part of it was learning to balance the necessary pelvic tightening while allowing the contractions involved with an orgasm and part was just developing habit and routine to the point of it becoming natural.
As a side note, I learned to control my general incontinence by going for walks with initially little protection and then no protection. That gave incentive to not pee myself. There were a few times I had to run for a tree or bush, but it did work. Sometime I did arrive home with a wet spot. But I kept at it. I got up to 4 miles without peeing myself. I consider that pretty good.
If that was TMI I'm sorry. But for some of us RP guys some semblance of recovery is a pretty big challenge, but in most cases it's achievable.
Good luck.
