Guys, there was an old PM of mine that contained a theory. I’ve kind of abandoned it, but I will post it for archiving purposes. You should read it nevertheless, maybe you read something that might prove useful later.
I was going to post it on the forum but then BMashina posted that link where the guy explains the injury as a possible tear in our groin (not the penis itself). The jist of HIS theory was: some structure in the groin tore, thus casing all the tissues, arteries, veins etc. to be in an akward position or under unnatural strain. From there stem the symptoms: altered flaccid, weak erections, sitting for erections, etc. The groin tear naturally causes blocked blood-flow, increased veinage, and varicocele (these things happen exactly because of blocked veins). Hence the weird penis reaction and why urologists’ tests show nothing wrong in the penis itself.
My speculation was simliar but not exactly the same: what if the “firm flaccid” comes from some sort of pelvic injury, that resembles a spasm or inflammation? Like kegels combined with outward pulling producing both contraction and stretching of the muscle —- a highly risky state for any muscle, of course.
That could explain a lot of things. To name a few:
- The firm flaccid itself (the muscles press on some of the arteries and veins, cutting off normal circulation)
- Weaker erections (the same explanation)
- Why it is worse after orgasm (swollen pelvic muscles press even harder)
- Why it is worse standing and relaxes crouching or when urinating
- Why some guys report continuous involuntary kegels and PC “spasms” and “flutterings” (at first I thought “that doesn’t apply to me” but later I saw that it could be the same “twitching” that I have felt from time to time somewhere in the PC area . Have you guys felt that?)
- Why some get it from jelqs, some from hanging, some from other stuff, etc.
(especially guys with other underlying conditions would have to enhance their erections with kegels and thus be more prone to this injury)
- Why it’s basically unknown outside PE
- Why urologist don’t see anything wrong with the penis itself
- 229’s healing by stretching (who knows what was he really stretching?)
- Crono’s healing over time
229 (the guy from Finland a few pages back in the thread) healed. He attributed his FF to sports injury and his healing to stretching his hip-flexors. I have gone through his posts and I think he was mistaken. His onset of ED was sudden after an equally sudden re-start of a PE-regime —- so a “coincidence” to say the least. Besides, PE is what we have in common, not sports and sports injuries.
You may remember that there was even a guy in the thread (Hyperlite) who got it diagnosed exactly like this by a pelvic floor specialist. Unfortunatelly I got the impression that his state did not improve through pelvic floor exercises and relaxations. I hope I am wrong.
So, maybe try massaging the whole area “down-there”, feeling if there is any tension and stretching. Do it daily. Be extra careful, there may be sensitive stuctures there.
