What's your drill?

[once a writer]

What exactly do you do between sticking the needle in and, uh, getting down to business?

All of us injection guys have gotten various instructions from our prescribing docs. But you only have to read the posts here on FT to realize that the advice differs quite a bit and, beyond that, some of us have come up with or our own spins on the process.

So here are a few questions:
• What’s your injection frequency? Is it different from your doc’s recommendation?
• Do you ever inject more than once in 24 hours?
• After you’ve injected, how often do you get a show of blood at the injection site?
• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you compress the injection site (as so many docs recommend)?
• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you “massage” your penis to circulate the medicine (as so many docs recommend)?
• If you use a cock ring, at what point in this process do you put it on?
• In a typical episode, how long until you reach full erection?

Any other questions? Please add them.

Should have answered my own questions after I started this thread . . .

• What’s your injection frequency? Is it different from your doc’s recommendation?
Once every day or two — or three to four times a week. My uro said once a day is OK.

• Do you ever inject more than once in 24 hours?
Occasionally. Usually on vacation. A bedtime session followed by a morning session, so an interval of 6-8 hours. Never any bad effects.

• After you’ve injected, how often do you get a show of blood at the injection site?
Once every couple of weeks.

• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you compress the injection site (as so many docs recommend)?
Less than a minute — maybe two minutes if there's a showing of blood.

• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you “massage” your penis to circulate the medicine (as so many docs recommend)?
Two to three minutes.

• If you use a cock ring, at what point in this process do you put it on?
A couple of minutes after injection.

• In a typical episode, how long until you reach full erection?
10 minutes.

So here are a few questions:
• What’s your injection frequency? Is it different from your doc’s recommendation?
Three to Four Times a week.

• Do you ever inject more than once in 24 hours?
Once in a while. Maybe 10 times a year.

• After you’ve injected, how often do you get a show of blood at the injection site?
1 out of 15

• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you compress the injection site (as so many docs recommend)?
10 to 30 seconds.. unless I see blood then 1 to 3 minutes.

• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you “massage” your penis to circulate the medicine (as so many docs recommend)?
I massage it by circulating it 2 or 3 times but never actually massage. Just grasp and circulate the blood manually with my hand.

• If you use a cock ring, at what point in this process do you put it on?
Not used.

• In a typical episode, how long until you reach full erection?
3 to 4 minutes

• What’s your injection frequency? Is it different from your doc’s recommendation?
There's sporadic frequency for me because my signficiant other's interest in sex has declined. I inject as often as 2-3 times a week including erections for solo play with Fleshlight.

• Do you ever inject more than once in 24 hours?
I have injected twice in 24 hours -- with 6-8 hours in between. I am comfortable with that for special times or vacations. I've never suffered any ill effects from this.

• After you’ve injected, how often do you get a show of blood at the injection site?
I have never spotted blood.

• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you compress the injection site (as so many docs recommend)?
30-60 seconds

• After you’ve injected, how long, if at all, do you “massage” your penis to circulate the medicine (as so many docs recommend)?
I massage a little during compression of the injection site, but it isn't really a full massage

• If you use a cock ring, at what point in this process do you put it on?
Not used.

• In a typical episode, how long until you reach full erection?
Fully erect in about 5 minutes

1) On ave every 5 days
2) No
3)Only a drop of blood..occasional faint bruise
4)Compress for about 1 min
5)Message on and off for 30 sec
6)Adjustable ring put on right after injecting..left on for duration of sex (30-60min)
7)10-15min to full hard***

***Lasts 5 hrs..no pain. My *research* >>>>

Priapism is defined at 6 hrs+ by drug manufactures. 4 hrs is defined as *prolonged erection*.
Research has shown that there is no permanent damage under 8hrs...and not likely under 12 hrs.
No need to run off to ER at 4 hrs...at least that's my take
