Have you done it that way for a long time with no problems I.e causing a bend ect?

No kinks here (well at least not in my willy 😄)

5 injections a month for 7 months. 4 or 5 flops but the rest have been straight as a die.

I should persist with trying the left hand side, I just don't like the chance of failure and wasting a valuable jab. 

There are a pair of corpora cavernosa which fill with blood when you get an erection, and you should inject into one of them. Presumably massaging the penis after injecting opens both to blood flow?

Really should persist with your non-dominant hand and alternate left & right sides - the injections can cause scar tissue to build up which can lead to Peyronie's disease (curved penis), which is permanent damage.

Just wondering if you could practice left handed technique using your left hand with a pen?

Or practice jabbing fruit like an orange or banana left handed? 

Another way could be to do it completely cack handed, using your right hand to inject the left side of your penis. 

Good luck. 

Kev.

Morning Kev,

I'm sure I could jab a banana, resting on  table, with a steady left hand.  Not so sure, as in my case, of injecting a cocktail gherkin, resting on my testicles, lefthanded,  whilst shaking like a sh*tting dog.😁

I've thought of doing it cack handed, but it nearly puts my back out.

I have just vaccinated my flock of sheep, you use a short thick needle (as opposed to a short thin one) but as I was going through the flock I mused how similar it was to injecting my Willie back in the day.

The essential part (sheep or willies) is having no resistance to the plunger, if there is any resistance STOP, start and again.

Now that is where the similarity ends, clearly a sheep that has just been "miss stuck" it will be wriggling about trying to avoid the b****** in waterproofs trying to use it as a pin cushion. A sheep also has a thick fleece, something that should not be a problem for PC survivors (HT, vacuum pumps etc tend to mean very little willy fluff!) but willies and sheep do have another thing in common - practice makes perfect.

So next vaccination season I will be offering vaccination practice sessions for those budding Willie stickers out there!

Did you have to straddle the sheep to inject them?  It does sound like a story a defensive barrister would use.

Either straddle or pin with your thighs

Hi. 

38 m UK. 

I have bought invicorp due to inconsistent results from pills.

 

Last August I was diagnosed with prostititis and pelvic floor dysfunction which often causes ED. 

I can still  get a good erection without  pills  and often a good one with, but it's not consistent and when. The muscles are very tight I struggle especially with the  stress that comes with the pain making the penis virtually  numb on occasion. 

I am hoping invicorp  will bypass  some of that and allow me  one reliable erection  a week for my girlfriend. 

 

I have a few questions though. 

 

Can you reduce the dose a bit by squirting some out just so I can work out what dose I need? 

Obviously  I need to be careful as I can get good erections so I don't want to put myself at too much risk of priaipism, especially as I take amitriptyline so can't take sudafed. 

 Does it make sense to get a semi erection first to inject it and is it injectted in the same way as caverject which i was shown how to use in November?

Caverject gave me  nothing but pain hence why I never used it again. 2.5 mcg was probably too low and possibly incorrect administration. 

Has anyone had any side effects from it? 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

You could use less than the full dose but I can't see why. I'm always careful not to waste a drop.

As for injecting it into a semi. I would, the bigger the target the better.

There have been quite a few on here that found Caverject caused pain.

I suppose there's always a chance of priapism or other side effects, but I've had none.

Thanks. I have read your posts on this thread. 

I find that when I look at my penis semi face down the 2 sides that you are supposed to inject are covered by the dorsal vein and another on the right side. 

 

How far up from the base do you inject?

 

Also my other question was how far do you inject the needle? I don't want to go too Far or not far enough.

 

Thanks

I inject ony about 3/4 " to 1" from the base. I inject the entire needle length but I believe they recommend half the needle length. If the top of the penis is 12 o'clock you aim for 2 or 10.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube to view on injecting. Obviously try not to hit any blood vessels.

There is definitely an art in injecting and hitting the sweet spot. Practice makes perfect.

Today I went to the pharmacy and was told there was a shortage of the drug. I'm in North Lincs. Has anyone else had problems getting their Invicorp? 😱

Yes, squirt the excess out before injecting - never guess at how much is going in from a full syringe.

If you are getting decent natural erections then NEVER use an injection - the two don't go together well.

If you are like me and resemble an unripe acorn then a bit of manual massaging to get a better target works will help but not if you develop a usable erection (see above)

Caverject 2.5 is your starting/test dose - most men will not get a usable erection from that level so I was told to use 2.5 for 3 injections and then increase to 5 - you can increase to 7.5 and then 10 if needed but 5 works 100% of the time now for me.

No side effects apart from a little pain from an increase girth but that is subsiding now the penis is getting used to it.

iI was shown how to use Caverject by my urologist in his office... although I injected myself. It was 2.5 mcg of caverject. It did nothing but  give me extreme ache and a little plump.

Which is far less than I can get  even without pills.

Is  this more likely to be a misfire than  it simply not working?

If I can get an erection  at times without pills and a  good one with pills( just not reliably), does it follow that injections should work?

ie  an injection should be superior to nothing.

I am planning to try the invicorp soon but   feel I should probably try a half dose first to see how I react considering the above.

Is it ok to squirt out half?

Thanks.

If I can get a good erection from pills and a decent one naturally does it follow that injections if done properly should work even better or at least as good?

My ED is related to pelvic pain penis pain and muscle dysfunction in the perrenium.

Hello mate,

My Invicorp has been prescribed by my GP because I have had my prostate removed and cannot get an erection any other way.

I would, in your case, ask for medical advice as to its suitability, incase it makes things worse for you.

They did prescribe it to me  via my urologist because  pills aren't always  effective.

I'm just anxious about  actually doing it for the first time. I forgot to ask about  titrating the dose lower at first.

Okey dokey.

The Ivicorp should work within ten minutes. You should get a good erection, mine last for almost two hours. Give it the full dose and make sure you hit the correct area.  You'll only feel a small prick. (tee-hee)

Let's us know how you get on.
