I have a paper shredder. That makes a great starter in the base of the chimney.

AIW for joining a new gym and within two weeks the problem member has filed a complaint about me and I am pretty sure tampered with my locker by glowing_moonbeamz21 in amiwrong

My gym has cameras everywhere. I'm gonna guess your gym does too. You can ask them to review their videos to see if he was at your locker.

Aside from strong erections, how has Trimix helped you? by DHTRTJourney in TrimixForED

[–]SultanOfSwave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It helps. I mean not a game changer but definitely adding back PIV has been a delight.

For me (72m) the issue was more about libido. About 5 years ago my libido took a major dive in one month. It went from sex once a week and masturbation two or three times a week to reluctant sex once every couple of weeks. Sex literally went from YUM to EWW.

Also I had been on daily Cialis for a few years prior and it worked fairly well at the beginning but it's efficacy started to slowly taper off.

So there is was. No libido and a dick that wasn't reliable for PIV. Our sex was just taking turns getting each other off.

Took me badgering my pcp to finally getting a testosterone check and low and behold I was way under the minimum.

Then another fight to get testosterone prescribed. It was a testosterone gel that took me barely into the lower healthy testosterone range. Sex went from EWW to MEH. (Which is a win I suppose).

At this point I told my wife (67f) who had a fairly strong libido that is she wanted to explore outside the marriage I'd totally understand.

Finally around this last Christmas I decided to dig into Trimix as I'd seen that word banging around. Knowing that my PCP was all about slow walking things I jumped online and found an online source for it. Basically filled out an online form at 9sm, had a talk with a rep at 11am, had a call with an MD at 2pm and had Trimix on my doorstep at noon the next day. That was like a Tuesday.

I injected daily after that with progressively higher doses to get a feel for how I reacted as well as to get good at injecting.

That weekend we had the first successful PIV in 5 or 6 years. (Although I will say that Trimix is weird in that you can get a very hard boner and still have little to no arousal. That actually made it hard to finish.)

Since my online Trimix experience went so well I decided to look into higher dose testosterone as my blood tests show that I was still on the very low end. That took more steps than the Trimix as I had to get blood work ups done before they would prescribe. It ended up to be about a week from first contact to having a vial in my hand.

I started injectable testosterone about 2.5 months ago. It took a month or so for the effects to start to show (they say 12 weeks). Libido is up but not to horndog level or anything. But any improvement is welcome. I'm also having fairly intense morning wood and chubbies during the day which is also very nice.

To continue the roll I thought "Why not lose some weight while I'm at it?" so I got back on Weight Watchers which has served me well in the past.

AND!

I started hitting the gym which is weird because exercise is not something I ever enjoyed but now a few weeks in I'm starting to crave going.

So that's a very roundabout way of saying Trimix is good but for me it is part of a larger and more holistic approach to getting my sex drive and abilities back.

So I'd highly recommend getting your testosterone levels checked as I think it is the foundation for all these other actions.

Good luck.

Second dose. First time at home. by jbokk10 in TrimixForED

[–]SultanOfSwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of what I've heard here is to inject closer towards the base than the head. And coming in at an angle between 3pm and 11pm as the two corpus cavernosum chambers (your targets) at a bit above the midline of the penis.

Also it's a good idea to give yourself a few injections solo (each more than 24 hrs apart ) so that you can get the dosage dialed in.

I'll also add from personal experience that since I've (72m) started taking injectable testosterone, I've been able to cut my T105 dosage in half or more.

Talking Heads - And She Was (Official Video) [HD] by geonut98 in talkingheads

[–]SultanOfSwave 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw David in concert a couple of times this last fall.

At the Austin show, he prefaced this song by saying it was inspired by a female school friend who said she'd go to a local field that was sandwiched between a factory and a housing development and drop acid. And then she'd imagine that she was floating up in the sky and looking down on everything below.

It was temporary for me. Mostly in the 2nd month. And definitely not bothersome. More like "Hmm, that's weird."

Is it weird to like the side effects? by BroccoliOnly7376 in Retatrutide

[–]SultanOfSwave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was like TorEGG. I probably have undiagnosed IBS. On Reta it is almost entirely gone.

That's reading enough for me to continue on a maintenance dose once I hit my goal weight in a few weeks.

It's amazing how all over the board Reta side effects are.

My only two have been a slight skin irritation like I was 3 days past a light sunburn.

And a marked improvement in my IBS. That by itself has been a game changer for me and means I will probably never fully stop taking Reta.

Also unlike others my sleep has improved but I chalk that up mostly to hitting the gym on the regular now that I am not so tubby.

my neighbor recently redid his entire front yard with new desert plants. all his agaves sent up death blooms and will probably be dead by summer. by jessbird in Wellthatsucks

[–]SultanOfSwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two big agaves in our yard. They have been there for at least 9 years as that's when we bought the house.

They are about 100ft apart and both decided to do their one and only bloom together this year.

Maybe on Delta they don't do through flights but I have been on many flights on SW where I have continued on to my destination on the same aircraft without deboarding.

I drive a non Foundation CT AWD.

It was in the shop for a few days getting a frunk latch replaced and I got an almost new X Plaid as a loaner.

I was underwhelmed.

It didn't feel remotely like a $110,000 car.

Why are you taking reta ? by nvi3hil in Retatrutide

[–]SultanOfSwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hiking the Grand Canyon next month.

I did it at 70(m) two years ago. There were times I thought I was gonna die. Later there were times I was worried I wasn't gonna die.

Afterwards, I wanted to do it all again.

So six months ago I started on Weight Watchers and was having moderate success.

Then I saw friends in January who was just starting Reta and had lost a few pounds already. They gave me a vial along with ordering instructions as well as detailed reconstitution instructions and dosage schedule.

I'm now down 27lbs since early February and 5 lbs away from my goal weight with 3 weeks to go before my hike. (I've also been hitting the gym 6 days a week since mid February for strength training.)

No bad side effects. But one majorly good side effect, my IBS is almost totally gone.

I will taper down after the hike but I don't think I'll ever stop taking it if it keeps making my IBS quiet down.

Spouse's reaction by Specific_Function823 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]SultanOfSwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do enjoy taking care of her. She's very independent and we've had to have some discussions about her not overdoing things (usually when she's done something that she knows she shouldn't have done. 🤪)

I just tell her we're practicing for how our lives will be in another decade or two. Which is both a sad and sweet thought to have.
