Not to devulge too much personal information but sometimes I wonder if the needle is too long. Do I really have to insert it all the way?

You don't mention what length needle but NO you don't have to always insert it all of the way. You need to experiment and gain experience and learn the technique, including needle depth, that works for you. The technique that works for you is the correct technique.

Yeah with the equivalent of a 1/2" needle you will usually go in too deep unless you are somewhat plumped.
Withdraw it a bit and draw back on the plunger to see a little blood in the tube.
Sometimes you can feel the needle penetrate the tunica and know you're in the right place.

If you find it difficult to push JE plunger down I find that I’m not quite deep enough. When in the right spot the plunger is easy to push.
Just my opinion.

I'm a grower and use 31 gauge 5/16" / 8mm syringes and bury them but I think 1/2" / 12mm syringes would be too long bury for my little guy.

I used a 5/16 31 ga. Would insert needle but when it hit the thick tunica, it would not penetrate. I then would need to jab again to get through the tunica. Then I would aspirate to see if I have blood, then inject.

My urologist showed me how to inject by stretching my dick out and doing a basket weave with my dick by going over my middle finger and under my pointer and ring fingers to one side or the other depending on which side you want to inject on. This technique basically bends and stretches your dick over your middle finger on one hand while you inject it with the other hand.
