I am using Viridal Duo Injections to assist with my ED problems , I am using the maximum dose of 40mg.

I get a strong erection enough to have sex but as of yet not had a upright/ normal erection, I am thinking of seeing my GP for a different type of injection.

Any one using a different type of injection can you tell me do you get a normal erection or more like a semi.

John gets a really good erection with Invicorp (and used to get a good response from Caverject when it worked although it only tended to work one out of each three attempts). However, it isn't like erections used to be pre-op - the active ingredient makes the penis engorge but doesn't have quite the same effect around his pubis. As a result, we can no longer have sex standing up or from behind - when he stands up, the erection points downwards and slips out of where it is supposed to be.

Surely, standing-up sex happens only in lifts in films! Many years ago I suggested to my wife that we should try standing-up sex. Her initial reaction was, 'you having been watching porn again!' However, we did try, I had an orgasm but she didn't; that is not surprising.

But to be serious, my impression is that after prostatectomy, even if all the nerves are intact, men do not seem to return to their pre-surgery 'manhood' - penis is going to have a 'droopy' feel. I think that during surgery the sphincter above the prostate is removed and there is a great deal of trauma experienced  by muscles etc around the base of the penis and that chances of re-establishing the overall structural strength is probably not possible. I am writing as an engineer but not  from personal experience of course. As you know we completely rely on VEDs where, because of the ring/s at the base of the penis, any attempt at trying to use any fancy sex positions is not advisable and could prove very risky. Even for the missionary position you have to be very careful and make sure that penetration has to occur very carefully and secure before thrusting. As for sex from behind  we don't have any problem. In fact since we started using the pump that position is one of our favourite one.

Strewth Lyn is that the only reason you can't have sex standing up? Even if I was still hung like a horse I think my hips, back, knees, buttocks and arms would complain!

John is an ex-rugby player - front row. Big thighs, strong arms, 17" neck 😳🤣

I might believe I can still have sex standing up but my wife doesn't believe me enough to try!

About getting engorged without a firm base ... this also happened to me, specially when using a pump. One thing that has helped is to strengthen the muscles at the base of the penis. Unlike the erectile tissue in the shaft of the penis, those at the base are under voluntary - not automatic - control so you can improve them with exercise. My physio challenged me to "twitch" my cock in the shower - something that I had always taken for granted since a young age. 

I had to really practice, with only the smallest response at first, but after some months those muscles have gotten much stronger, and while they don't make an erection on their own, they certainly give better support from the base to make the most of whatever chubbiness or firmness I can get in my shaft. My wife also helps sometimes - stroking up the semi while I clench and hold at the base to build strength.
