Post-injection modeling & straightening: why only a "spontaneous" erection?

[Perdido_Key]

All the guidance/brochures say to perform the straightening and modeling when the penis is erect spontaneously, like when you wake up.  In fact, the handout I have specifically states that "If you do not have a spontaneous erection, do not attempt the penis straightening activity."

So what's the difference between a spontaneous erection, and one that pops up from being aroused?

I believe they are considered the same, what would not be a spontaneous erection is if you had to masturbate until you got hard.

yeah I think its the back and forth action that would cause issues, not the erection or cause.  Hence no sex or masturbation. I just got over that LOOOONG period of abstinence.  Is there a way to orgasm without fear of damaging yourself? Vibrator perhaps? thoughts?

[TonySa]

I've been thinking of that as well given that I start xiaflex soon 😊

Well it's not for everyone but prostate massage would relieve frustrations

Before the injection, I had to bring in a pic of my (curved downward) erect penis so the dr could measure the curve for ins purposes. It was far easier to get erect at home - let's face it. He injected my penis twice - three days apart. Yes, it hurt. But now my penis is pretty straight, I regained the loss of length and we can have sex again. with the help of Levitra. I don't like Viagra.

Hey Alanjr! Nice to know you had a substantial curvature reduction with your xiaflex treatment! You mention you take Levi ra. I tried it once... Not the biggest fan. I am on daily cialis 5mg.

Have you ever tried it?

I used a vibrator at day six during my first treatment because I could no longer think straight and focus on work, so it didn't take much. It worked out with only mild internal tugging during the contractions.

But on my second treatment, I was a bit cocky and did it at day four. Those contractions created the same kind of sharp pain I felt in office when the doc yanked to cause my penis to pop during the 2nd injection. I won't lie, that was scary. I double checked my wrap, delayed changing it by about 8 hours to give my innards time to heal, and felt that sharp pain for several hours after my indiscretion. Whether or not that self-induced pop is ultimately useful, I don't know, but it took all the fun out of it. YMMV.
