Missing the "sweet spot"

[Reggieman]

I'm still trying to hit the "sweet spot" when I inject. A couple times I've hit something really hard. When I push the plunger to inject it is very difficult to push the medicine out of the syringe. What am I hitting? I keep studying diagrams of the penis to figure the anatomy and why I screw up. So far I can't figure it out. Location wrong? Angle wrong? What? Getting frustrated as I have been doing this for nearly a year and every once in a while I miss the spot and its not always the hard spot I wrote of.

I guess I am a slow learner. When I do it right I get a boner that I can drive nails with.

I've had the problem of activating the plunger more than once....I credit to the angle of force we use at the top of the plunger.....I don't think we are perfectly putting the force on the center of the top of the plunger....therefore our force is off center. Anyone have a similar exp?

I'm going to tell you that if you have difficulty depressing the plunger, DON'T. Try going a little deeper, or rarely shallower, but only if you're real deep. If that doesn't resolve it, pull it out and try a different spot. Because, if you're having difficulty depressing the plunger you're in the wrong spot.

This issue is discussed and demonstrated in the video linked in this thread ( viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8657 ) as well as in the following discussion in the thread.

what size needle and length do you use?

#30 and 1/2"

If you hit something hard, It is most likely the tunica. If you are at a 90 degree angle you should be able to push through with slightly more pressure and some mild discomfort.

If you were not at a 90degree angle, it is likely you have glanced off the tunica and/or bent the needle.

As mentioned above, if the plunger does not go down easily, you should not force it as the solution will end up in a lump under the skin. Instead, pull it out and try again in another spot and make sure you are at a 90 degree angle.
