Hard Shaft Soft Head

Hey so i actually just saw a recent post virtually the same as this, but I kind of wanted to elaborate on my situation specifically….
I have been waking up with, and during sex having erections that are rock hard in the shaft, however my head won’t fill up w blood completely. This In turn doesn’t allow me to quite reach my potential full girth and probably length as well.

I’d normally pass this off as bad EQ, but the rest of my erectile qualities such as frequency of erection and ease of erection have probably been better than normal recently, which is kind of throwing me off. My PIs in general are good. No bruising or anything out of the ordinary.
Is this occurrence indicative of anything, and can be helped by changing something??

My routine: dry jelqs (~140) and some semi hard bends along with manual stretches for ~15 minutes.
P.S I will be ordering a pump soon, can light pumping help this?

Thank you

Are you familiar with kegel exercise? Really helps on that department of EQ. That’s what I recommend you to do.

Probably the expansion of pumping will make you believe the problem is solved short term, but I bet that it would persist long term.

Ok cool thanks. Ok give that a shot in the past kegels have seemed to fatigue that muscle and cause either pain or erectile problems. But I will just try less and lighter. Thank you

Yes man, start slow, you will weekly progress adding 2~3 reps and at the end of the month add 1 set more.

Sorry to hear it. What else can you share about your situation?

Have you ever jelqed?

Do you use Cannabis?

Do you get plenty of sleep and exercise?

Are you overweight?

Do you take blood pressure medicine?

I’m not asking because I can use this info to diagnose you. I’m no doctor, but the info might help the next person with a soft glans spot a trend.

24, great shape, low body fat. Healthy diet, occasionally smoke weed, I have done wet jelqs in the past, but do dry jelqs now. Honestly I’ve always had erectile difficulties which I’m super confused about and would be hard to imagine being as young and healthy as I am. PE overall has absolutely helped a lot. But I go in and out of good weeks for EQ and this specifically has been my issue for that past couple weeks now.
Also: i have a regular workout routine (3-5x/wk), and a decent sleep schedule for the most part. Not the best but I do what I can

Are you circumcised?

You know, morning wood erections Are quite different to normal erections. They are a largely parasympathetic phenomenon, tending to enlarge the cavernosa tissue and therefore not the head so much.
For morning wood, it’s quite normal for the shaft to be rock hard but the head to remain soft in comparison.
Next time you get one, check that out!

Oh and the most common reason for this parasympathetic activity is a full bladder. How often have you woken with a full bladder only to be unable to pee because your cock is unbelievably stiff?

Most common cause for erectile difficulty in otherwise fit people is alcohol use with anxiety a close second

Yes

The glans is an internal organ, it’s meant to be covered. It’s actually mucosa tissue like the inside of the mouth or eyelid.

The circumcised glans slowly over the years builds up keratin(callous/skin cells) due to constant friction. This extra thick skin layer on the glans requires a higher blood pressure to fully inflate. When the glans is not fully inflated neither is the c.s.

The solution is to restore the forskin until you’ve got full flaccid coverage so that the excess skin layers(keratin) slough off leaving a sensitive glans that inflates very easily.

Imagine trying to blow up two balloons, one very thin and another very thick.

This is very common, I’m going through the same thing.

Sure but it would still reach hardness, just not as big. Infact, one could argue that with the same blood pressure yet with less volume possible, it should be harder.
His issue is with incomplete erection.
Whilst I accept that foreskin restoration is a worthwhile quest, I doubt it would be the answer here.

If I try to blow up a very thick balloon with insufficient air pressure it will not get rigid like a thinner one would.

This same topic comes up daily on restoration forums and many whom have restored claim that once they’ve got full flaccid coverage after a few months their glans will shed skin layers and revert back to the shiny, fully inflated state they had when young and it actually changes color and hangs fuller.

I believe this is the case and that widespread circumcision is the number one reason for various erectile dysfunctions. If you look back at the history of circumcision from the beginning it’s purpose was to blunt male sexuality.

A few years ago there were threads here about deflated glans even with hard erections and iirc they ended up doing chemical peels on their glans to fix the problem.

Just my 2c

The Corpopra Cavernosa, along the sides of your penis, are a relatively high pressure system (giving the ridgifity necessary for penetration).

The Corpus Spongiosum, of which the glans is an expansion, is a realtively low pressure system.

The only time the glans gets particularly firm is when you are at a very high level of arousal, usually close to orgasm.

That’s normal.
