Firm flaccid penis

Wow!

Today I woke up for the first time since August 2008 with a rock hard erection that lasted at least 4minutes, before this, the closest I had come to a nocturnal erection since 2008 was a semi (60%) and this happened five or six times and would decrease to nothing within seconds but today remained rock hard, if I had got out of bed and gone to the toilet instead of sitting there staring at my penis in amazement :chuckle: I would have had to wait until I was able to pass urine, just like the good old days.

One thing that made me laugh and showed it was a true erection was after, my firm flaccid came back, just like after achieving an erection through stimulation. There is also a chance that yesterday I had one as well, I woke up in the early hours and rolled over to go back to sleep and noticed I was hard but thought it was probably another semi erection, tomorrow will be interesting.

I’m really happy about this.

Nice to hear.James please tell us what you think contributed most to your improvement ?

Yea.. I would like to know what effec the hard flaccid has had on peoples erection strength/frequency and sensation in the penis?

For me, it seems I can still get decent erections (although I normally take some arginine/horny goat weed)

I don’t always wake up with an erection.. Somewhat rarely actually, but when I do the shaft is rock hard, and the head is deflated..

Other times I get boners like when having sex and the head fills out almost normally, and teh shaft is pretty hard..

Definitely since this hard flaccid, my shaft usually gets really hard.. But like stiffer then normal.. Which I suppose isnt such a bad thing..

But I do feel like I have some reduced sensation.. And there are times where my erections still feel weak.

I’m not totally sure Walgart.

I stopped doing the stretches awhile ago and my plan was to start again once I purchase a floor mat (now ordered), over the last week I have been taking 1200 IU of Vitamin E instead of the 400 that I was, I started doing this because I run out of Acetyl L-Cartinine. Today I received empty capsules so I’m now taking Acetyl L-Cartinine again and I will continue with the higher dose of Vitamin E.

There is a chance my body is sorting itself out which is what my Endocrinologist said would happen, I wrote down a symptoms list for him and two of the symptoms were no nocturnal erections and no spontaneous erections, he said all symptoms will go over time, hopefully my lack of nocturnal erections are due to this and not my firm flaccid state.

This morning I didn’t wake up to an erection but I did wake up two hours later than yesterday (8am instead of 6am) and I masturbated last night. Tonight I’m not going to masturbate and see what happens tomorrow.

moxsum I too can achieve a decent erection, I just require stimulation to remain erect otherwise my erection quality decreases quicker than it would before. My Endocrinologist also said this will correct itself.

Sounds simlar to me.. I’ve been meaning to see a endo myself.. As I’ve had many others symptoms and sexual weakness over the past year .. And prostate inflamation..

I recently got some basic levels tested and my total T was around 750 which is not too low.. But my prolactin was 30, where apparently the normal high would be 15 .. So thats pretty high.. I wanna get my other levels tested too as I’ve had some anxiety, mental fogginess, memory problems, sexual problems, all kinds of symptoms over the past year.. Which I think all stemmed originially form stress/anxiety and physical overtraining (too much martial arts/everyday).

Still trying to find a competent doctor to help me.. So far the two urologists I’ve seen have been pretty useless. Theres definitely a larger.. Phsyiological thing going on wiht me.. Opssibly adrenal fatigue or something similar.. Dunno how much this contributed if at all to the hard flaccid..

I seemed to get some problems with my penis after I used viagra.. Has anyone had any similar issues? Is that even possible? Anyone had hard flaccid after using viagra or similar stimulant?

I read before about some fibrosis appearance after using V but that is a rare case.Some people eat PDE-5 inhibitors for years and have no problems.

The only way a pde5 could induce fibrosis would be if it gave you priapism and kept you erect for over 12 hours.

Other than this, a pde5 is actually an antifibrotic due to its interaction with NO2.

Well said.

You should test also, based on your symptoms, free T3, free T4, cortisol.

Your prolactin is a bit too high,if you want to go the medication route, you can take bromocriptine or dostinex.

But, you should first have a full blood panel of your ‘mones to get the best conclusion.

Good luck

moxsum if I was you I would be aiming to correct any abnormal results, even if it doesn’t help your penis it could help you feel better in another way.

alin, what symptoms made you suggest those tests?

I ask because two of my four remaining abnormality’s are actually high free T3 and high cortisol levels.

Even after masturbating last night, this morning I woke up to another erection :) .

I haven’t come to this forum in a few weeks now simply because I kept seeing the word surgery appear, but this has given us all some positiveness.
James I don’t seem to see what you did to start the recovery of your unit, what supplements have you been taking for that erection to come back ?

The day I wake up with an erection like I used to have where it wouldn’t go down till I pissed is the day I will cry with happiness ( and I rarely cry )
. I just hope for the sake of good that we can all find some solution to this, it’s ruining our lives in a young age ( I’m only 18 ) when we should be having fun.

Thanks

I was so happy I told my Mum lol.

Here is what I have been taking daily:

Acetyl L-Carnitine 2g - 2.5g
5-HTP 50mg
Mutli Vitamin (Seven Seas A-Z, in case you want to view the ingredients)
Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000mg
Vitamin C 500mg
Vitamin E 1200 - 1600 IU (I was at first taking only 400 IU)

I split my Acetyl L-Carnitine and Vitamin E dose in to two, 1gram of Acetyl L-Carnitine in the morning and the other around 5 - 6pm, I take 800IU of vitamin E in the morning and then another 400/800IU around 5 - 6pm, a few times I have taken an extra 500mg of Acetyl L-Carnitine at roughly 11pm.

Acetyl L-Carnitine can cost a lot so I recommend you make your own capsules (powder tastes awful), I was taking Doctors Best brand which was £25 for 120 588mg capsules, then I ran out and I paid £25 for a 250g tub of Acetyl L-Carnitine and £9 for 750 empty 00 capsules, total price £34 for 500 500mg capsules, a big saving. All the other stuff accept the vitamin E (Seven Seas) is non branded stuff.

I’m not sure if the supplements are to credit for my changes but if they are don’t be discouraged when taking them because I started on Monday 19th April and woke up to an erection on Thursday 27th May.

I have more good news and I was going to post this message this morning but since the last couple of posts had been by me I didn’t want the thread turning into something to do with my changes but since you have now posted, I’ll share my news. I woke up on Wednesday to another erection (that’s three now) but the biggest change is my penis has grown in girth by 0.2”, at first I put it down to a messed up measurement (this was on Wednesday) then I measured again on Thursday and again my girth was up 0.2” this time I thought the same thing and that maybe sitting on a soft surface (my bed) was some how messing my measurement up, so yesterday (Friday) I measured again on a hard chair, in total four times, the first three measurements were 6.2” in girth, the last was 6.1”.

I was always 6” in girth and after using a penis extender this remained the same, I then started jelqing for a few weeks and hit 6.2”, which was short lived because of the firm flaccid and becoming ill, I then stopped all PE and my girth went back to 6”. I also think my penis length has increased (seriously) but this was harder to be 100% sure because of ruler placement plus my penis was tired, I’m going to leave myself alone till Monday or Tuesday night and then measure my length, I’ll then remeasure my girth a couple of days later.

If I was selling something I would sound like Dr Lin (:

Haha, congrats for improvement and congrats for gains, James. Your story seems to indicates that you had an extreme overwork. If you ever re-start PE, be extremely cautious.

Thanks a lot and I definitely will be. My firm flaccid is still present but softer and not as frequent, my flaccid hang has also improved. Since a lot of these positive changes are happening, I’m just going to continue with my current supplements and hopefully I’ll be able to start using my penis extender again in the future.
