My first injection

Postby sabaone » Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:33 am

I had a terrible day last Tuesday. It was the first attempt at injecting. Since I have somewhat of an overlap of belly to penile length ratio, I had to stand in front of a mirror. Besides the not-too-small fear of plunging a needle into the little guy, and torturing him with penile-head pulls, the equating of hand movements in a reflection to real-life is very difficult. Plus the idea of sticking a needle in...

I wasn’t sure whether I was going to puncture the dorsal blood vessels or put a new opening in my urethra. I was tormenting my penis for close to half an hour and not getting anywhere. I was in tears at seemingly my own weaknesses. Finally, I gave up, and went online with Franktalk.

There I read in the Injections section of the Forum about Inject Ease auto-inject system. NJTransplant was extremely helpful in explaining the use and parts of the device. I ordered it from Amazon, paying extra for 2 day delivery, and it arrived on-time, Friday. I thought “Hey, I;m on Easy Street now!” Not true.

Granted, the advice I read on the Forum, and NJTransplant’s encouragement which gave me some solace, still, my fear prevailed. Was I holding the device at the correct (and right) angle? Was it positioned properly on my buddy. My wife even offered to do it, but how could I be sure she would aim correctly?

SO then she talked some sense into me. She asked “If you aim wrong will anything be permanently damaged?” “No, I answered. “Would you bleed to death?” Again, “no.” She continued, patiently, “what do you have to lose?” Humbled by her logic, and concern, I returned to the mirror to try again.

First I wiped off from the counter about 20 open and used alcohol wipes from non-completed attempts. Placed the Inject-Ease on what I considered a 2 o’clock position, put my thumb on the trigger, and plunged away. The puncture was so anti-climatic I was stunned, It took only a second or two, but it seemed like an eon, before I realized I wasn’t done yet, and had to inject the Bimix (20), which I did…finally.

After removing the needle, I applied pressure to the spot but there wasn’t any bleeding. I had my wife apply manual artificial respiration to the little guy who starting to show some life. WOW! Not in over a year has anything like that happened! Soon as he seemed to be at attention, I feared his disappearing (past experiences still embedded deeply), so we jumped into bed, and it was fantastic. Even though I didn’t have an orgasm (or multiple ones), it felt so good to share with my wife what she had been missing for a long time. And, interestingly, I seemed to have been larger when we stopped than when we began.

As we relaxed, later, watching TV, I was on my back in order to let the blood return to the body. As close to 2 hours past and buddy-boy showed no sign of going down, my wife started to worry. Me? I was just in awe of what I had between my legs. But I gave into her concern and popped just one of the two 10mg of Sudafed PE the PA advised me to take. I also placed a cold bottle of water along the perineum, held in by a pillow. Within 10-15 minutes, my penis seemed to be relaxing, and ultimately, the erection relaxed. What was interesting, though, as I have read on this Forum, my penis has not returned to reduced size it was for the year following my surgery, And that is great.

Thank God for this website and people who share their experiences.

Sabone,
What a great post. You have a great writing talent. I am a prick-sticker too, and all your cares and concern brought back memories for me too. Its been 2 years for me and I still grit my teeth before stabbing little Willy.
Thanks for sharing and good luck with continued use !
