Should we avoid Injections near base?

[RJ_in_Pa]

I tried to find the relatively recent post where someone posted 5 or 6 steps for beginners on how to do injections, but couldn’t find it. One of the things he mentioned is to not inject near lower third of the penis near the base.

Has anyone heard that we should stay away from that area near the base. I know the skin is a little thicker there which makes it harder to see the veins, but are there any other risks?

Thanks,
RJ

I stay away from the base. My reasons may apply to me only. 1st, it hurts much more near the base. 2nd, it's harder to insert the needle. 3rd, oh heck I don't know. I think some of the medical professionals tell you to inject near the base. So if it works for you go for it. But it's not for me.

When I did my trail at the office I felt it push through and he was a few inch’s from the base.
I tried going lower ( don’t ask me why ) and it seemed that layer is thicker and may not have worked as well.

my uro also said not to inject near the base, but he injected right under the glans which a lot of guys on here said that their doc said not to inject there. i was against injecting at the base but after a couple of night of heavy sex and trimix use, i decided to inject near the base. i inject about half an inch from the base or from the constriction ring of the VED. i have injected at 7-11 and 1-5 o'clock on each side and it has worked. now, for me there are more veins to deal with down there but there are areas i have found. for me, while injecting, i feel for the layer of the corposa after going through the first layer of skin and then i aspirate to make sure I’m in the right spot and like i have said, works for me. i break up my dick into 3 zones, glans, mid shaft and base and i alternate from left to right starting from the top and work my way down. I’m up to almost 400 injections in almost 3 years. i was against it at first as my first misfires were at the base but as my technique improved and using a VED, i have not had a misfire in more than a year. just my 2 cents.

For me ............... I get the best results when I inject at the very base of my shaft. I've learned to massage my shaft for some time before injecting to get my flaccid penis as full and long as it can before I inject. The idea is to get the maximum amount of blood flow into my little "fella" before the Rx relaxes the smooth muscles to cause further blood flow to create the erection. This technique seems to expose more of the base and therefore easier for me to inject at the base of my shaft. Also, after I inject I continue to massage my shaft from the root to my glans, especially under my scrotum around the entire root of my penis till I start to get hard. I have tried injecting mid shaft but always have the best results injecting at the base. It appears reading all of the various posts that no two guys are alike so the location of injection will be different for many men.

My doc directed the injection to be at the "proximal third" which I understand to be from the base to the ⅓ point up the shaft. However, I'm not sure where the "base" begins. To be sure, I start about 10% up from my pubic bone.

I get firm only downstream from the injection, so unless I inject at the very base, the base bends and swivels so the erection is unstable.

Wow! Thanks for all the responses. I guess if you try it and works for you, great, otherwise try something else.

Thanks agains guys!

Stay stiff!

I, too have wondered about this. So if at the base ... then next question is top side or underneath side?

i visualize the two corpa in the penis on each side. so as long as i dont hit a big vein, i inject on both the top and underside with the focus of the needle going into the center of the corpa.
