injections are the pits

Postby oldbeek » Sat Jan 20, 2018 12:07 am

Still hit and miss. ordered 2-30 bimix today. Past experience. Autoenject did not work Needles (31ga ) actually bend when they hit tunica. I got to where I would nearly pass out just thinking of pressing the button. I now manually inject in till I hit tunica. That is not painful. Then have to jab through the tunica. That hurts like hell. Half the time I can not get through on first jab. Plunger will not depress. I have needle in past the hilt. Jab again. now it is in, inject. 10% of time it does not get a hard on. That is just demoralizing. Last injection I was on the third jab trying to get through and started to faint. Had to lay down before I collapse. There I am on the bed needle still in my dick. Finally get it injected. Guess what. It failed to get hard. Starting to bend to right when it does get hard. Thinking of an implant before I get this dick screwed up with scar tissue.

Dear Friend,

Sorry to hear your frustration. I went through the same experience.

I would suggest you to go back to the Autoject but with 1/2 inch 28 gauge needle. I had terrible experiences with thinner needles like gauge 31.

The other thing. You may want to try Trimix instead. Seems to be much more reliable. I’m extrenely happy with this technique and medicine.

All the best.

I am allergic to Trimix. It gives me a (give me a revolver with bullets pain) on the scale of 1 to 10, my pain was 15.

Sorry to hear of your troubles with injections, oldbeek. I think I would be thinking of an implant as well if I were you.

My opening line for the implant seminars I speak at is "can I get a show of hands. How many think there should be a special place in hell for whoever came up with the idea of sticking a needle in your penis?". Enough said.

I tried injections and hated it. Since when did sex get so god damn scientific? If it hurts or doesn't get hard enough etc. how in the hell can it be enjoyable??? I'll take my implant (my wife too) any day!!! ;)

I used trimix 4 years. Told I needed 1/2 inch needle to get mix to correct place in penis interior. Really unnerving. I am diabetic so tried with a short BD 6mm 31guage on hand after about a year into trimix use. It worked so I switched to shorter needle.
Now have implant. Do not miss needle.

I use 31 gauge 5/16 needles and have not had any problem. The injections are relatively painless and totally successful.

Are you sure your technique is right? inject near the base at 1 to 2 oclock. Pull your penis away from you to stretch it tight as you inject.
75 yo, trimix user for 10 years, over 1000 injections. Started trimix when viagra no longer worked well. Very little pain, totally reliable, rock hard for a couple of hours. Fabulous sex.

I agree. I could be wrong but it seems that if it works great sometimes but not others I'm thinking your technique is inconsistent.
