slow injection and scarring?

So, I just got back from my somewhat annual visit to my urologist...

He checked my penis and said i am injecting incorrectly, and had me do it in front of him. His two criticisms:

- he said I inject to slowly and need to do it with a jab (rather than a somewhat slower push in)

- he said I need to stretch my penis out and hold it stretched while I inject


A bit upsetting to hear this, as I didn't notice any scarring. Has anyone else had similar feedback?

Never heard of the jab technique. If that's so, then the auto-injector would be the way to go, I suppose. I don't see me changing my way, from easing it in to the jab approach. Seems like you would lose accuracy with the jab. Just my thoughts on that, of course.

As to stretching, I see that in the instructions a lot, but never considered it a 'gotta do". I've never heard of anyone complaining about it being wrong and causing damage. Maybe that is ok for some who are large enough when flaccid to be stretched that much, but most of us don't have the problem of excess stretchable to start with, I suspect. The plump technique should work better, wherein you use a pump, or even your hand to push blood into the penis and clamp it off at the base while injecting, making it easier to access the cavernousa's (SP) A reverse milking action, that is.

I guess the idea with the jab is that it's meant to be like a subcutaneous injection. I think i might just stay with the gradual easing in, and take some vitamin E to reduce, minimize scarring. My fear with jabbing (besides not wanting to stab my penis) is breaking off the needle. They bend at the base quite easily...

Interesting thought regarding the use of a pump and/or hand encouraging some plumpness first. Might try the latter; I heard mixing pump and injections wasn't recommended.

My uro told me NOT to stretch it out because it also stretches and thins the corpus carvernosum. But what do I know. I've had two misfires and one flash in the pan to date out of 11 attempts. Just had one last night that actually caused some bruising for the first time. Also, the flash in the pan got big real quick and then got small real quick. I managed to get two minutes of sex out of that one. I been a slow sticker but decided after last nights misfire to start jabbing it in quicker with more authority. I'm still trying to find the perfect technique. I don't want have to travel with a VED so I'm trying to learn to stick a little willy. I like to keep things simple but I may get an auto injector.

StricktlyInc -- My instructions from MSK say to hold the penis by the head and stretch it straight out, keeping tension while you inject. Touch the needle to the skin - then push the needle all the way in. Push the plunger and then pull the needle straight out; do not twist or jerk it out.

On the issue of scarring: Dr. John Mulhall says there is no evidence that shows scarring occurs from injection therapy as long as you
a.) switch sides each time.
b.) don’t inject more than 3 times a week.
c.) push the needle straight in and pull it straight out without twisting or jerking.

Just to add to the confusion -- I always stretch it out and then bend/lay it over on the pubic bone to the left or right side. Gives a good worktable to work on.

Also I know the Docs all want you to do the quick jab method. But I've always used the slow-bunch-of-little-jabs method. Going on maybe 300 injects now and no scarring or fibrosis. (using the very fine 31g needle tho).

Could be some of the 'lore' concerning using quick jab was started because of using 29g needles in the old days before the finer ones came along? Hard to say.
