Differences in erections

[qcswral]

This may sound like a newbie question coming from a guy who's been a member here for 11 years. About 3 months I had to step it up to Quad-mix. The first couple of injections my erection(s) were rock hard. It reminded me of when I first started taking Trimix...and when I was younger. The last several injections I noticed I get an erection hard enough for penetration, but not rock hard. It has happened where the erection feels like a hard chubby...and it can easily slip out while we're going at it. BTW I do use a cock ring.Then last week I had a really hard erection again..Do you guys think this happens from not getting the all medication in the CC? I've wondered about this for a while if it's possible to get enough medication where it should go, but not all of it? Also, when I inject in my right side it seems I hit the bullseye as opposed to my left side..I be very appreciative for some feedback. Thanks

Your problem happens to me occasionally. I think your guess is right. In my case it seems like the needle hits the tunica (corpus "casing") obliquely instead of at plumb. Then some Trimix goes into the corpus and some not. When this happens, it seems the needle usually comes out bent.

My right and left sides differ quite a bit - the corpora are not nice and straight and parallel like the medical diagrams. To reach a corpus at different points along my length, I usually need a 5/16in=8mm needle, but at a few points, both right and left sides, I need a 1/2in=13mm needle. I keep a spreadsheet with this data and all the other injection parameters, mentally dividing my length into five zones for example, recording each injection and its results.

How long have you been injecting? I've been injecting once a week for seven years, so have hit each "zone" about 35 times. I think I might be developing scar tissue at some zones because I recently have misses where I did not in previous years. So now I'm thinking about using 1/2in needles instead of 5/16 at these trouble zones, on the theory that scar tissue pushes the tunica further down.

Before use, I inspect each needle with an illuminated loupe, because I've sometimes found blunter-than-usual needles.

Hey thank you for your reply it's quite helpful. I've been injecting some 10 years now, mostly on a weekly basis. I did have some nodules on my left side a year after I first started to inject. The issue "resolved" after a visit to a Peyronie's specialist who prescribed a multi approach treatment. ( Pentoxifylene, Vitamin E, pump exercises) I still do the penile exercises with a pump on days that I don't inject but I haven't been as consistent as I was following the nodules issue. I think you're right, it's that left side where I notice the difference and that's where the scar tissue ( or nodules) first appeared. The length of the needle seems worthy of experimenting with in that I may need the 1/2" needle on my left side. I'm going to give that a "shot" ( no pun intended). Thanks again for your comments.

PS: Turns out I am using 1/2" needles after all.

Generally, I think thin penises (mine) need 5/16 in most "zones," and thick penises need 1/2. Which would be yours? If you're kind of thick, maybe 1/2 isn't quite long enough to get well into the corpus, if my scar tissue buildup theory is correct, and so you might push the syringe a little further, indenting with its nose.

Have you ever pulled out a bent needle? How much vitamin E did your specialist recommend?

There is only 1 time I pulled out a bent needle...I thought it was strange when it happened, but didn't think any thing of it. I will try your suggestion about pushing the syringe a little further indenting the nose. I do have a thick penis, which got thicker over the time I've been injecting which is like 12 years. The visit to the specialist was so long ago, about 10-11 years that I don't recall the dosage he suggested. Vitamin E has been shown in some studies to aid in reducing scar tissue. From what I read on the Peyronies web site, similar to Frank Talk BTW, it seems the daily protocol of using a vacuum penis device is most helpful. The Peyronies web-site is an excellent resource BTW. The Pentox is a blood thinner for peripheral vascular disease. It improves blood flow to the penile tissue promoting healing...That dosage I remember 400mgs BID....In fact I still take 400mgs once a day as a maintenance dose..I included a couple of studies indicating how Pentoxifyline has helped ED.
