Viagra question related to ongoing erection problems

I have had major erection problems for about 5 years now and i’m trying to find the root of the problem.

I am thinking viagra could help me narrow down the possibilities, I have tried it and it worked… ie, after sex my boner didn’t go away for a good minute and I was stood in front of the mirror amazed by it because that NEVER happens normally, on the contrary, i’m lucky if I can keep it hard long enough to get to the mirror.

So would the success of viagra rule out any possibilities, or does viagra temporarily fix all ED related issues?

cheers.

You can damage your penis even further with viagra ..

I think it happened from jelqing with too much erection strength.

Viagra for young men is probably similar to anti-depression medication, in that the you see what life can be like, and the goal is to achieve those results without medication.

I would bet your problem is mental, and just seeing your dick hard will help you get over that mental hump. Don’t take too much, but don’t worry too much either; you’ll be fine.

I think it’s partly a bloodflow problem, maybe due to a build up of scar tissue inside the penis, due to jelquing with too hard an erection. Jelquing does come with the warning of not doing it with a hard cock, but it doesnt say what the consequences are specifically. I think that i’ve caused some kind of permenant damage through it, that has now been reinforced by my anxiety over it.

I went to the doc. they are total shit in england regarding this issue.. completely inexperienced and uneducated about it. she wouldnt send me to a urologist and had never heard of the wealth of tests I have seen listed in here, that can decipher the cause of ED. Maybe its just in the US that these tests are available? i’m going to see a psychosexual councellor, at least they will have specific knowledge on the subject.

Not trying to be a downer here, but do you have any evidence to back this statement?

Sorry not true.

Good, because I just bought some!

So what sort of damage does jelqing with too-hard-an-erection actually do?… anybody know, or is it to remain a mystery?!

I’ve said this once, twice… nobody knows anything here; we all speculate, we all have our beliefs that we base on our personal experiences, but none of us knows anything about what’s actually happening when we PE.

No, I think there is a lot of knowledge about the science and biology of what is occuring when we PE, and a vast accumulation of information that has been pooled together. Some people have been actively participating as this forum has grown and doubtlessley understand a lot more about it that I do, and could maybe offer some usefull information about the effects jelqing with too much erection strength.

I mean ive read in black and white that jelqing with a hard cock can damage your penis. Well, how is this known? because people have damaged their penises from doing it, obviousley!

So I would be really interested to hear of anyone who has had experiences of this, or knows any links to relevant posts about the effects of jelqing with a hard cock.

Or even better, anyone who has experienced psychological ED and overcome it! Because like I say, i’ve had this for about 5 years, whether alone or with a girl I have weak erections. It might go reasonably hard for a minute but then it just defaults to a semi-hard state and pretty much stays there. It never used to do that! It just seems too severe for it to be a psychological issue. But maybe it’s totally feasible, I dunno, it’s hard to find examples of other people who have had my condition. The closest i’ve got is stories about people who can get a woody while masturbating, but then struggle with a girl. I wish that was my problem! But then, on occasion, I have awoken with quite a decent erection in the morning, which would suggest a psychological problem. Personally, I think it’s a combination of both. And I really want to get to the bottom of both.

But seriousley, I can get much more decent advice and information on here that I can from the doctors - for there exams, they probably have a 10 page revision sheet regarding penises. They think if your not 75 with pins and needles in your legs, and a 40-a-day smoking habit, then your cock is A-OK! I’ve a good mind to slap the next doctor all over his or her office, with my semi-flacid cock, untill they agree I have a problem, because doing that would make anyone horny, yet I would still only be semi :/

I’ve searched these great forums but can’t seem to find any informative posts on the subject.

If you want to hear from personal experience, I can say that I routinely jelq with 100% erections without problem.
