Here’s a post I made two days ago in another thread in response to the comment below. Hopefully this can help.

There’s a difference between being hard and being engorged. I think a simple, better understanding of the penis can help a lot of guys experiencing what you’ve described. Most guys, when they get an erection, look at it as if the only thing getting erect is the visible portion of the penis protruding from the body. This gives a lot of men the idea that an erection only fills this portion of the penis. When in reality, an erection starts in the 4 - 6 inches of penis within the body, which is commonly referred to as the “inner penis” on this site.
So in reality, if you have a 6 inch penis, during a fully engorged erection, there is actually about 10 - 11 inches of penis becoming erect. The penis actually starts way back near your asshole, where the openings to the CC and CS are located. This is why it feels like the entire pelvic region is swelling up during a full erection. Here’s a exercise to try. It may take a week or so to get accustomed to, but it will eventually get you much more in tune with what is happening to your dick when it gets fully erect:
Get yourself as relaxed as possible and regulate your breathing. Withoug using any hands or looking at pornography, use your imagination to become aroused. I would even suggest not looking at your dick, so that you can get more accustomed to the way it feels when the entire penis (including the inner penis) becomes fully engorged. Focus on the feeling of the blood pumping into the penis from the base of the penis. When I say “base of the penis” I’m referring to the base of the inner penis, not the visible portion protruding from the body. For a full erection that keeps the glans engorged, you will feel the pressure concentrated in the base, and this is when it feels like the entire penis is being pushed out from deep within.
I practice this all the time, and I’ve found that it’s easier to practice sitting down. Once you get accustomed to it, begin practicing it standing up or laying flat on your back.
It’s also an ego boost to realize that even if the visible portion of the penis is average size, there is actually anywhere from 9 - 12 inches of dick that’s erect!
This is a different type of erection that quite frankly, a lot of men never experience. But a simple, and better understanding of your own body can allow them to have these types of erections.
There are a few male pornstars who have this type of erection in every scene. The two that come to mind are Tommy Gunn and Alan Staford.
Keep in mind there are other factors that can hurt your EQ that we must be careful for:
Unhealthy Diet
Poor Cardio
Smoking
Lack of sleep
Stress
Desensitizing of the penis due to vigorous masturbation or PE
Desensitizing of mental sexual arousal due to excessive pornography
Hope this helps! Anyone feel free to add!
