I used the pills for years and HATED how they made me feel. I used trimix for about 11 years. Its not very painful and you get used to it. You have to learn the sweet spots to hit where you miss a vein. But you also cant use the same spot all the time. If you hit a vein which I did many times you can get some scary looking big black and purple bruises.

It worked great for me but the problem I had was if I used enough to get a good erection it would last more than 4 hours. So I had to inject the antidote, phenylephrine to make it go down. So Id usually have to give myself 2 shots every time I had sex. The antidote can possibly give you a heart attack too BTW. Of course I could screw all night like a pornstar which was nice and impressive if you play it right.

I finally got tired of sticking needles in my penis and when I turned 65 I got a penile implant and Medicare paid for it. I am 68 now. It only cost me $200. No more needles, pills, bruises. It works 100% of the time.
You might consider that.

I'm having the Da Vinci prostate surgery done within the next month or two. I guess with the implant in place I will have that base covered.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
