Can't get full erection without holding a kegel

Hi. Since my early twenty’s I have had this problem. When I get an erection I have to hold a kegel to keep it hard. Without holding a kegel my penis barely gets hard and as soon as I stop holding it my erection starts to fade. Could anyone give some advice, please?

Maybe it’s only bad EQ? Do you do kegels and/or PE?

Yes I am doing my PE. I have been doing the newbie routine for about 6 months and I am now in to hanging and been doing that for a couple of months. This did not help me with my EQ nor did it make it worse. Yes I did kegels with the newbie routine but they did nothing for me + they were a pain in the ass to do so I don`t do them anymore.

You say since your early 20’s. How old are you now?

I would suggest talking to your GP about it. No need to be embarrassed, they deal with such things all the time.

I´m 30. I have tried Viagra and other things but no effect on me. Sometimes I feel like it is a mental issue.

Why do you think it may be a mental issue?

I think he looks at too much porn.

I had this recently and it was attributed to a pre-workout supplement I was taking (included 1,3-dimethylamylamine, aka methylhexanamine, aka geranamine).

Not saying that it’s this, but have you changed your diet recently?

bendall,

Many cases bad-EQ can be caused by being overweight. Another reason for bad-EQ would be depression.

Bendall: Some are helped by these three very effective supplements taken daily:

1) L-Arginine, 5 grams (Buy the Powder. It is cheaper)

2) Iicarin (Horny Goat Weed)

3) Norwegian Pine Bark

If you think it might be nerve damage : Niacin, biorutin, bioflavinoids from citrus. ginko biloba, lethicin.
Most of these maybe had on the internet (“Vita-Cost” and others

Bendall:
If you have the time, scroll down in the newbie forum , to “Loss of EQ from IC Damage”. This relates to a problem I had —-but better still, read the multple posts from a thread by Matt356 on “kegeling”. Punch it up on Search. Your problem should not be taken lightly, as you are the first to know, as it effects your whole social-sexual life, self esteem etc, but I will assure you it can be overcome especially if you see to your overall health. You will find a lot of support here on “Thunder’s”

Well I am a bit overweight since maybe 5 years back but the first 5 years that I had this problem I was real fit and trim. I think you are on the right track talking about depression and that`s what I meant by “mental issue”. And for you “fat_cock”: I didn’t watch porn for maybe 6 years haha. BUT I got really depressed around 19-20 and I have tried all medication there is with no results. At the moment I don`t know if I´m depressed because I have lived with it so long so it has gotten a part of my personality. But deep inside I now I´m still depressed, low sex-drive, bad EQ, nothing thrills me anymore, I don`t seem to find satisfaction in anything and I haven’t had a real good hard laugh since I was 20 so I guess there you have it boys. Thank for all the other tips by the way.

I know a drug that will cure that, but it has a terrible side-effect.

It wears off. :leftie:

I think it is normal to get harder when you kegel, and for the erection to relax when you release the kegel, at least it is with me.

Haha yes I know about these drugs too

I have to deal with it also.
