New here but veteran to sexual medicine

[merlin]

This is Merlin....finally retired and have time to advise as I have done the past 36 yrs. I'm actually the person who "coined" the word 'Tri-mix"
in '89 or '90 - started with just 2 mixes, now 15 at all levels of strength. Anyway, I now consult/advise/manage privately

Merlin,

Welcome on board... Are you using trimix?

Also, probably just a typo, but it is spelled Trimix. But then again you invented the name -- maybe we all got it wrong!?

Would be happy trade ideas -- i've done/am doing a lot of research on various kinds of remedies.

Jimstars - Hi - do I routinely use the injections ? well, I don't...no yet anyway. But, I do take a 20mg Cialis once a week to prevent or at least slow down
what will be probably inevitable given my background. You do research in the field ? give me the physiology here why a PDE5 inhibitor may prevent or at best slow down ED...kind of a new area and it's exciting! Began our investigation into what we then called "Impotence" in 1978 and was present when Giles Brindley dropped drawers and showed us all what he had done - what a time !!

Merlin,

By 'Research' I mean taking ordinary ED items like MUSE or Trimix Gel and using them in new and novel ways (to get regular erections and increased blood flow for penile rehab).

Because, like you and others have mentioned, the Pills hardly do anything for post-RPP patients, I've come up with a middle ground approach to get regular pretty hards every day or night rather than just a Trimix shot when you really need something 100% hard and reliable.

So take look at my 'Liquid MUSE for daily penile rehab" (and also same for "Trimix Gel for daily penile rehab" postings. They really do give you a bit of the old big E every night, and is done urethrally so you are not poking your P all the time.

Just the psychological lift you get knowing you can go to bed with an erection for a few hours every night I think is a big boost for us ED sufferers. (And is definitely getting the blood flow you need).

So that's my area of 'expertise'.

Kinda neat that you were actually there a the "Dropping of the drawers" incident. One for the ages.

Sure was one for the ages ! he even allowed some of the female urologists to palpate his erection just to make sure they believed....as he said
in his very sophisticated British accent ! ....anyway, your a smart guy because penile rehab is the name of the game of which many men are
reluctant to do.....if men practiced daily rehab by your method even with a VCD, their situation theoretically may improve - especially men who have
undergone prostatectomy. Can't believe I just mentioned the VCD because personnally I think they are dangerous.

Merlin,

Well yeah, a woman's opinion in erections is always the last word in accuracy!

VCD=VED (Vacuum Erection Device) and yes I use one of those too mostly daily for 3 years now (and still using the original battery motor pump -- quite durable) -- but just for fun, not for intercourse use.
Can't say if it helps solving ED but it sure does keep girth and length at at least your current values (with girth definitely increasing). Plus once again you have the psychological boost of seeing a Really Big E -- way bigger than any you could get otherwise (except maybe trimix).

The thing with the VED is it brings in blood and just traps it there. With my penile rehab method you are getting good flow all the time, the valves get a work out etc etc. (Also it takes nasty MUSE which can burn or ache a bit, and converts to a gentle liquid that is not concentrating in one tiny spot and radiating out -- it absorbs up and down the whole urethra. Been using that method for a year+ now. very nice. Can't say it has helped much getting natural E back, but I am ever hopeful.

JimStars - yes, using the VCD for rehab has it's benefits, but just rehab and do not apply that ring. The VCD does not trap blood within the corporal bodies.
It is infact unknown what the trapping mechanism etiology is. And, there are no valves within the corporal body as well. What was discovered on cadaver dissection years ago was sub-tunical venules along both corporal bodies. Fascinating mechanism that is activated when the smooth muscle is expanded by nitric oxide (neurotransmitter) This is referred to as NO which was discovered by a close collegue of mine who sadly passed away recently in Spain. Bye the way....that constrictive ring may cause smooth muscle damage left in place too long.
