Loss of EQ, Hard Flaccid, Soreness

I must have overdone something because my penis has decided to shrivel up pretty bad in the middle of the night last night. The only reason I realized was because I woke up with the flu (that’s a double whammy). I also noticed that I had a strange feeling in the base of my penis that most closely resembles soreness. I have checked very carefully to be sure that nothing feels detached like some users have reported when they have torn their suspendatory ligament, so I think that’s out of the question. I’m thinking that I could have aggravated the base through sex because before sex I was fine. After sex (no popping or anything strange during sex) I went to sleep, and this is what I woke up with. I’m definitely taking a long break so as to not damage my unit and let it heal up a bit. I’m very much hoping it’s something that heals and isn’t something that decides to stick around.

Has anyone else ever experienced these symptoms? If so, what was the cause, how long did it last, etc.?

Note: My flaccid being hard and having bad EQ could legitimately be due to the fact that I have chills and feel like crud. The soreness at the base is what concerns me.

Those are Negative PI’s,you might wanna take few days of PE to recover

Yeah, I think you are 100% right. I’m going to take as long off from sex and PE as necessary to get back to 100%. It already feels better after getting some sleep. I’ll keep everyone posted on here as to my progress.

My penis is still acting up. It decides to shrivel instead of get hard and is sore and hard along the shaft. Hmm… It has me a bit worried.

And it feels like it’s getting cold to me, but when I touch it it isn’t cold. This could be due to mixed messages in my head that shrinking is due to coldness. The circulation seems quite fine.

And I’m afraid to really test it out because I don’t want to injure it even more. I guess I should just give it some time? I haven’t even given it 24 hours yet.

Stop, don’t touch it until it heals. Get a water bottle and fill it full on hot water and use that to keep it warm. If your unit reacts well to this, keep doing it.

More time is definetly necessary though. No masturbation, sex or PE until it is normal again.

This is the best course of action. I’m glad to hear that at least your penis does not feel loose at the base. You can also try wrapping a warm towel or using a rice sock to warm the penis as well.

Yes just be cool and relax. Hopefully everything will be fine with a little rest and relaxation and abstinence from PE and sex.

Thanks for the helpful recommendations and encouraging thoughts.

All day Friday I slept under a warm blanket, making sure that I was especially warm in my genital region. Whenever I woke up I was sure to put my rice heat pad on my unit to keep everything stretched out. Remarkably, my penis was very relaxed and squishy with the heat. Without the heat my penis would harden and shrink in size, freaking my wife and I out considerably. I was almost certain I had caused permanent damage somehow and was planning which urologist I was going to call first thing in the morning on Monday. The only thing that was encouraging was my unit always felt warm to the touch, which indicated the circulation was fine.

Things continued as before on Saturday until the late afternoon. About 36-40 hours after recognizing the initial injury, my penis started to show signs of life again. It wasn’t shrinking without heat and was starting to regain sensitivity. I also noticed sexual thoughts were easier to think about and my penis would slightly fill with blood from that mental stimulation. I was hesitant to try to get an erection but was determined to prove to myself that I still could. I tried by myself and just couldn’t get the motivation. I thought I was still messed up despite the progress. My wife stepped in and gave me some encouragement, and within 30 seconds I got my proof. Boy was that a great site. In fact, I don’t think I had ever been so happy to see my penis in action.

The progress continued into Sunday. By then I could feel that I was about 90% back to normal; I knew I was bound to make a full recovery. I even felt good enough to have light sex with my wife twice later in the evening. I definitely kept it very, very light, but I felt she really deserved some finite proof that everything was going to be alright.

I really think the whole scare was about as hard on her as it was on me. She was completely devastated at the thought of our sex lives being permanently altered in a negative way so early in our lives (we’re both in our early 20’s). She definitely wants more kids and really enjoys our time together. And really, it would have been quite a shame. We’re high school sweethearts and definitely like to think of ourselves as having that same youthful relationship that we met each other with. Not having the ability to use my penis would have taken a huge toll on that youthful aspect of our relationship - it would have taken our relationship from our 20’s to our 70’s pretty much instantly.

Today I am feeling even better. I would say I’m over 95% recovered at this point. The only thing that feels different is my flaccid penis. It feels longer and a little more floppy. I can deal with that. My erection angle, erection quality, sensitivity and ability to climax all feel completely normal. The only thing I have not tested is full intensity sex. I think I’m going to shy away from that for at least a week or two just to ensure that I don’t re-injure myself during the recovery phase.

I hope that others can learn from my experience. Don’t ever over-work your penis, and please consider that sex is stress on your penis. I injured my penis from sex (almost 100% positive of that), but it was almost certainly due to a combination of the workout and sex. Also, try to consider ahead of time, before you injure yourself, what it would be like to look down at a shriveled, lifeless, shell of your current penis. This should give you ample motivation to workout sensibly and always err on the side of caution rather than being a daredevil with your penis. It’s simply not worth it to try something extreme and end up with a severely damaged penis. This would not be good for you or your partner - especially your partner.

Workout smart and safe. Thanks again for the encouragement.

How long in total, would you say, you kept the rice sock on your unit ?

Glad to hear your recovering well!

I kept the rice sock on it as long as I was awake. When it got cold I threw it in the microwave and put it back on immediately. This really helped me quite a bit. My penis lengthened and filled out so nicely, it even looked better than normal with the heat on it. In fact, my flaccid now hangs better than ever with zero long-term issues with my erection quality. It seems that the “injury” was part of a growth phase because my unit is noticeably larger to my wife and to the eye.

Thanks for the well wishes. It was a bit scary at the time because there are stories of people seemingly never recovering from such symptoms. Thankfully, the symptoms lasted in full not even 48 hours and have left no negative side effects - erection quality, erection angle, sensitivity, and desire for sex have all returned to normal levels.

I will note that I am on a huge break from PE. I’m not mentally prepared for the risk of injury, even if my unit is ready. It will be a while before I take the dive and go for more gains. And for sure, any exercises in the future are going to be ridiculously low intensity. For now, I’m just enjoying the fact that I am a little bigger and can enjoy being with my wife again.

Yeah just be happy with what you got for the moment mate. I’ve had this crap for about two years now, imagine how it must feel for some of us ! Weak erections which die immediately after no stimulation, hard flaccid most the time, no random erections.

Yep, Im about to get some ED meds though, I’ll report in the FF thread on how they work. It may be the only way for us at this time.

Did you guys have these symptoms prior to PE or are they related to an injury?
