Moving forward after priapism

[Nocturne]

So I just had my (over the phone) follow up meeting with my men’s health doc yesterday. It went well.
Doc recommended “sensate therapy” to address psychogenic issues (I remember doing that ten years ago - was not super impressed with immediate results but am willing to give it a shot again).
On the trimix front he agreed that my overall plans for using it were good; I want to learn to use it better in order to have it for vacations like the one that caused my initial ED event ten years ago and the one that caused this most recent relapse almost one year ago. Last time it took me like three years before I started to feel confident again and begin to get my life back.
He was very supportive of drawing individual needles and then freezing them to use maybe once a month, and offered to get me some on the “trimix antidote” (I forget the name) to have for home use. He agreed that it was possible I had been injecting “wrong” while slowly raising dose, until I injected “right” at too high a dose and caused priapism. Basically everything I was hoping he would say, he said.
Not sure at this point how to proceed with sensate therapy and trimix - they seem mutually exclusive as sensate involves a lot of not having sex, Has anyone here had much luck with it when dealing with psychogenic ED?

Overall, I think you are on the right track. I expect good results for you soon.

offered to get me some on the “trimix antidote” (I forget the name) to have for home use.

Sounds good. Almost always the term "TriMix antidote" refers to liquid phenylephrine. But make sure. It should be by Rx in liquid form and a typical recommendation is to inject 25-100 units up to three times in intervals of 5 to 10 minutes. I say this, not to give medical advice, but just to help identify that you got the right antidote. On the few occasions I've needed it, one shot of 50 units has totally resolved the problem in 5 minutes. I have vials that are both refrigerated and not-refrigerated so that could go either way.

This is interesting to me. My wife and I have recently (three sessions) engaged a sex therapist hoping that what's good can be even better. Just getting her to go to someone like this is a major accomplishment. I'm letting the therapist pursue her own methods in her own time, but I anticipate that there will be sensate focus techniques in my future. Like you, this is not something I welcome. In fact, if she's adamant about going this direction I'll probably go another direction. Not only do I want to avoid long periods of abstinence, but to automatically go to this methodology indicates to me that she's just following a cookie-cutter approach and not really customizing a plan to our needs.

If you follow the sensate focus plan, let us know how you do.
