Hey all,I was really enjoying the effects of about four weeks of jelqing back in the fall. Definitely over-trained it and it became exhausted, exhibiting no night/morning wood, which is typically a constant thing for me. My routines were not extreme, but I probably jumped into twice the recommended newbie routine from the get-go. For the first few weeks of break, I dramatically reduced masturbation/sex to speed recovery. Throughout them my morning woods improved but seemed spotty. It’s been about six months with no PE and early into that time my woods returned to normal consistency, but I do find that even if I masturbate too much (twice a day), my morning woods weaken/disappear. In April I started back with PE (after 5 months off), and did about half a newbie session. Next morning my wood was decreased so I discouraged from continuing.
So I’m not sure if maybe jelqing just isn’t right for my body? It definitely responded well in the beginning, immediately. Or maybe I need to go up to a full year off and be sure to start easy?
Or maybe I’m putting too much stock in morning/night woods. Some nights I legitimately sleep so deeply that I’m not entirely sure I’ve had woods or not, but typically I’m aware of my bone flopping around.
I’m a bit unsure because I really didn’t think I had done anything too extreme to warrant 12 months off. But at the same time, I take it very seriously when I wake up without having experienced any or weaker wood.
Thoughts from the experienced?
A year off seems a lot for the short duration of time you were doing exercises, Maybe give it a few months and if you still don’t feel right of course you could extend the time. The majority of injuries (of whatever type in the body) will have healed within a few months. Even those most severe of injuries which leads one to intensive care etc.
Similarly, nocturnal/morning erections can even be affected by your general state of mind. If you have been stressed and anxious throughout the day, your sympathetic drive will be in excess and erection-killing hormones will be dominating. Just try and focus on other things and I am sure you will start to see improvements.
Any update?
