O.K. Here it is. Someone correct me if your symptoms differ. In short:
The flaccid state of the penis is not normal. Descriptions somewhat vary, but the firmness of the shaft is common. The increased firmness is much like after being in cold water except we’re not in cold water nor is the penis cold. The penis is not as light, bendable and tender as usual. This is usually aggravated after ejaculation, excessive touching etc. And then it gets a bit swollen. Worm baths usually help and cold baths usually make it more pronounced (at least for a couple of minutes). If several days pass without erections, mine feels utterly bloodless and you can almost feel the CCs in their pure state.
Now, all these little things would be only uncomfortable if they weren’t accompanied by significantly weaker erections. That’s the real problem. That means no CS and glans engorgement and your erection looking rather pathetic. Erectability is much lower and sustainability somewhat lower. We usually need manual stimulation and some position are better than others. Sitting is commonly best. Standing is difficult.
So what do you think of it?
If I left out something, please ask away.
