Firm flaccid penis

Since you have been experimenting with both which would you recommend for before sex? I assume cialis
Would you say viagra is better for before bed then?
Are you taking the cialis everyday? Reason I ask is because I know its supposed to have long lasting effects (36 hours = 1 pill)

Yeah I am excited to get them to see it help me out, I think a bit of it is mental though. Would you say the meds have increased your confidence in performance & increased sensitivity?

My bad for all the questions lol

I’ve asked you for some thing I could do, or to post something that could be done to help this condition. I have done many stretches, spent lots of time in a hot tub, and sat on a vibrating massage chair to help with any tense muscles and nothing has happened. I experience no pelvic pain or problems with urination, ect.

I may still give the book a try, but I am sketpical.

Before sex, the Viagra as it works faster and better IMO. I still need more time though to really test these out.

The Cialis would be great before bed. I am not taking it everyday though as I don’t want to have this in my system all the time and build tolerance to it if it is possible.

They have increased my confidence, I do not know about performance as I am still a virgin, but I would assume so if you use the Viagra within the window of opportunity. I find that these meds actually decrease sensitivity which does suck.

No problem answering the questions. These are all things I wanted to know at one point too.

I agree the book is a good read and the firm flaccid is most likely cause we are over stressing our pelvic muscles. I have tried some of the techniques in the book, but unfortunately I have not had much success. I believe this is due to my injury being related to a penile suspensory ligament injury that has not healed. Right now, it feels as if someone pulled my penis really hard and now my penis feels as if it is hanging from a string at the base. I am trying to find a surgeon to try and fix the ligament issue and see if that will fix the firm flaccid as well as other problems. I read over some of your posts and you have mentioned that you have tried acupuncture. My question to you is have you had acupuncture done in your perineum area? Also, have you done internal therapy? I have had these suggested as a possible treatment, but I am hesitant of having acupuncture done in that location or internal therapy. I just wanted to see if you had any experience with this and if you recommend it.

Cool so viagra before sex is money & cialis before bed.

How are you dosing them, like how often? Like 1 or 1/2 tab every 3 days or something to avoid building up that tolerance?

Also Im surprised that it seems to decrease sensitivity, that really sucks :( I was kinda hoping it would help out.

Awesome thank you for answering all my questions, I really appreciate it man.

Things still improving for me.
Quit watching porn & erotic material on the computer forever ( this is mainly for the psychological aspect ) and masturbating ( for now ) , and been doing regular hot wraps-for about 3 weeks now. Tribulus for increased sex drive = natural erections = blood flow to heal any damaged tissue. And Vitamin E for tissue repair.

GENERALLY my unit is more relaxed and less tensed, getting average semi’s, and some days good morning wood.

I feel it may take about 2 months, but the key here is STOP WATCHING PORN AND MASTURBATING EVERY FEW DAYS, YOUR UNIT IS TRYING TO HEAL ITSELF, EACHTIME YOU MASTURBATE - YOU RESET THE PROCESS TO SQUARE ONE !

I stopped masturbating completely for a month and applied a hot rice sock every night for said month.

It made no difference.

Did you stop porn as well ?
Maybe you needed longer to recover, there is no way that masturbating is good for this condition. It’s like continuing to bench press 100kg when your shoulder is damaged and wondering why it’s getting weaker, because you haven’t given it enough time to recover from being overworked !

Aswell as resting it completely for a month I haven’t touched the shaft of my penis during masturbation in 17 months. When I need to masturbate, and we all need to masturbate at some point whether we have a knackered penis or not, I stimulate the glans gently once a week at most.

So I’ve effectively been resting my penis for 17months and it’s made zero difference.

You’re rummaging in the dark here my friend, and as commendandable as it is I don’t think any length of “rest” or hours of heat packs or handfuls of vitamins is going to make this condition better. It is, at the moment, an anomaly and the answer exists in an understanding and intrigued urologist’s brain somewhere. The more urologists that are consulted over this the more chance there is of finding that individual. Sitting at home with a rice sock on your member isn’t the answer I’m afraid, unless you can show me an individual who has cured this problem by doing that?

Have you been to see a good urologist btw? Have you had an MRI or ultrasound?

Like I’ve mentioned before, I’ve gotten “firm flaccid penis” a few times before and recovered.

1) Describe what “firm flaccid” means to you.
2) How long did it last?
3) In what way did it “recover”?
4) Did you have any other symptoms?
5) What did you do to make it recover?

Personally, I believe there is some confusion as to what “firm flaccid” means to some people in this thread.

I described firm flaccid penis before I had ever read anything about it, and I can assure you I am familiar with the phenomenon. My flaccid penis was markedly smaller than normal, and it was very tough instead of spongey. Especially the bottom tube which felt like a stick inside there. What I did to recover was stop PE, do heat wraps, gently massage my penis, and take herbal supplements. It lasted up to six weeks for me before.

I agree that nothing we can do will heal this.

I have had this for about a year and a half now and I have tryed many things, and I mean many things.

Matutinal, while what you describe is just like our FF, you probably just have an overworked penis that needs rest.

We have an injured penis and something is WRONG and no supplement or rice sack is going to heal it im afraid.

The Viagra is great guys, I have my way through six tablets now, about 50mg is good for me. I have had sex on it, morning wood, good erections that require no physical stimulation, and they LAST. I wonder if the huge increase of blood to my penis will help with healing, unfortunatly my diet and health habits are terrible right now so that isn’t helping. I can say I have recovered some size that was lost from the FF condition. While it isn’t a solution, I can live a normal life. I just keep a little container with a couple 50mg dosages of viagra and some Ibprofen on me at all times.

The Ibprofen is great for muscle inflamation, because sometimes I will be semi-erect to erect for long amounts of time from the viagra and the my penis feels inflammed. The Ibprofen takes care of it.

Willy,

This is a tough situation. I am wondering if you have considered getting a penile implant. I know it is not what a lot of us want to hear right now, but I think an inflatable penile implant may bring some happiness to some here. It is true that natural erections will never exist again if you are to get the inflatable implant, but at this point, I think the benefits outweigh the costs. I am going to wait several more months and pray for recovery and do anything I can. My worst symptom currently is that after I ejaculate, my penis literally feels hollow. I can lift it up and it feels about as light as a feather for the next several days after ejaculation. I have a beautiful girl friend now, so at least I have not completely let this cut off my social ties. However, my performance in school and work has suffered tremendously.

I have my Doppler Ultrasound with Dr. Levine in Chicago, Illinois in late December. I wish I could have gotten this test done last January/February when the problem began, but I can only look forward now.

I have purchased “A Headache in the Pelvis” and am trying to get on a routine. I feel that if I attack the problem from many different directions, then just maybe I’ll get lucky.

Best of luck to everyone.

Willy,

Out of everyone on the forums your problems are probably the most similar to mine in terms of the loss of sensation in the penis and scrotum. Now you say you have rested your penis, but you really haven’t since you still do masturbate once a week. Ejaculation really does stress the entire pelvic area and can lead to the symptoms remaining, even if it is just once a week. I notice for myself whenever I get an erection my firm flaccid gets worse after it subsides. There was a member here by the name of ghost24 that claimed he healed from his firm flaccid, but he completely rested his penis for over a year. This meant no ejaculation and I believe he even restrained from getting erections. You might be right that rest might not help alleviate our symptoms, but I think at this point it is the best chance we got.

My personal belief on this whole issue is the pelvic muscles in our perineum are so freaking tense that they have entrapped the pudendal nerve. And that the only way to relax them is to not put any strain on these muscles for a long period of time. I also do think botox might be a possible treatment to help relax the muscles. Deep heated ultrasound is another possibility I’m looking into.

You might have mentioned this before and even answered me and if you do I apologize but I am wondering if you have any looseness at the base of your penis?
