I finally got around to uploading some photos from my first experience with saline. Thanks to Kiwi and Oregazmick for the help.
I'd like to ask some questions about what I experienced, from those of you that have done this many times before. First of all, it was an incredibly exciting experience, but at the same time it was very scary. I was trembling as I went through the process, but at the same time I was painfully erect! What a rush! I'm not the least bit scared of needles, but I am scared of a serious health impact, and scared silly about an infection. Fortunately, there were no negative consequences to my first endeavors.
What I experienced in both my initial attempts (of 500ml and then 1000ml) is that a great deal of the saline migrated into my penis. This was not my intent, and what I experienced is that my cock became so swollen that it was pretty worthless for anything other than a freak show! Instead, I had hoped that the saline would stay in my scrotum, and that my cock would sit on top and could become erect without being grotesquely disfigured (and insensitive). I have seen scores of photos on this forum of guys who have enormously inflated scrotums, with a normal size penis sitting on top, or even swallowed up by the size of their scrotum. That is what I would like to achieve.
I realize that everyone is different, and that the results will vary accordingly. But I wonder if there are some things I can do differently to achieve the results I desire.
First of all, I attempted to follow the suggestions on this forum. I ensured the most sanitary possible conditions (including surgical gloves, antibacterial solutions, etc.). I bathed and I warmed my groin beforehand. I kept the saline warm (following a brief spin in the microwave) using a hot pad on a low setting. I used a soft, silk ribbon to tie off below my scrotum and above the base of my penis. I used an infusion set with an 18 gauge needle. I inserted it between my testicles and seated it firmly. I set the drip to a slow but constant rate.
My first attempt was 500ml, and it took approximately 1 hour to complete the transfer. My second attempt was 1000ml (several days later), and it also took about 1 hour (a faster drip rate). As you will see from the photos, much (if not most) of the saline went straight to my cock! While this was an incredible erotic rush, and it gave me a fantastic (though bizarre) hard-on, it seemed that most of the solution bypassed my scrotum. I have seen photos on the forum of guys that have infused the same meager amounts, and who had enormous scrotums. My saline was all in my cock, which felt like it would explode!
Here are my questions:
Is there a way to direct the infusion to obtain a specific result? In my case, a large, heavy scrotum, with penis on-top or even submerged?
Can this be done by placing the tie-off at the top of the scrotum, but below the penis, and leaving the penis entirely out of the "loop?" Are there any concerns about trying this method?
Am I using a drip rate that is too high, thereby causing the flow to exceed the capacity of my scrotum (at least until it has time to expand)?
I bled and then leaked water like a stuck goose, especially following the 1000ml session, despite attempts to staunch the flow with Super Glue, denture adhesive, and waterproof Band Aids! Is an 18-gauge needle too large, and did it contribute to some of the other issues above?
I'd appreciate any wisdom you may share!
Thanks.
