Sorry to reopen old thread
I found this thread while browsing the forum. Having recently quit smoking myself (6 weeks now), I have been marveling at the things that are different now and couldn’t resist commenting.
Since quitting the cigarettes, not only do I breathe better, but I can smell and taste things that I thought were one way, only to find that I either like or dislike them now in comparison to my smoking days. Also, my skin is soft again, like when I was in my 20s (I am 50 now). But, the best part, and related to this forum, is that I get spontaneous erections throughout the day now! Well, semis.. I have type 2 diabetes and have been suffering from ED for a number of years now. The spontaneous erections were not happening before I quit smoking. I also wasn’t getting manual erections beyond say 15%. It was really frustrating. Now, I can get around 75-80% which is like a miracle to me. Hoping it keeps increasing. Also, occasional morning wood, which I do not remember getting for many years.
If you have made the decision to quit smoking, follow through. It will be miserable at first, but I promise you will be glad you did. I am also hoping the PE journey I am beginning will help with EQ (Erection Quality) and I reach that 100% again. My younger penis measured very near 6.5”, but seems to have shrunk over the years (though I can’t get fully hard to measure, so who knows?) I am only measuring about 5.6” now. Where did my 0.9 go? Ha ha.
Anyway, to the original poster and anyone coming in to read later, just quit. We all know how stupid the addiction/habit is in the first place, and you can only benefit from quitting. I think this is my first post at TP!
