I saw my urologist today to get started with injections. He faxed a prescription to a compounding pharmacy and I am to bring it next week when his Physician Assistant will teach me to do the injection. So, I have nothing concrete (or even woody) to report, but for the sake of documentation I will repeat some of what I was told.
The uro said he has about 90% success with trimix. His policy in the event of a too long-lasting erection is that I am to call him and he will meet me at the emergency room. He says that he gets such a call about once every ten years. He warned against impatience, saying that we would increase the dose slowly until we found what worked. About 10% of his patients experience pain from the trimix but it can be eliminated by changing the mixture. He has had only one patient with scarring and that was a patient who, ignoring what he was told, always injected at the same spot. He said that the ideal situation was an erection lasting about half an hour.
Well, I am on my way.

Re: Starting Out
Excellent! You've got a great urologist.
One word of advice, wear baggy clothes when you see the doc for your first injection! Good sized shirt that you can leave untucked to cover your crotch when you leave the doctors office.

Re: Starting Out
Sounds right to me. And yes, wear baggy pants.
I would add one thing. You might some some minor aching the first few times--not real pain--but aching from having tissues stretched that haven't been stretched properly in a while. That lasted a week or two for me in the very beginning. Sort of like a sore muscle after a workout--which is exactly what is happening. Oh, and your cheeks may ache from grinning so much.

Re: Starting Out
I think 1/2 hour is too short. You and your partner don't want to be rushed and then have you lose it at the end. I would say go for aleast an hour or even 2 hours. That way you wont be pressured to get to the main event and can enjoy more foreplay. Also maybe a second time.

I totally agree with 1-2 hrs of bliss

Re: Starting Out
It should be easy to regulate the dosage
