Do vasoconstrictors prevent you from gaining?

I was wondering if anyone has advice about taking drugs that may temporarily decrease blood flow to the penis, like caffeine or other stimulants or ADHD meds, while doing a PE routine. For me at least, there is visible shrinkage of my junk while I’m on adderal although I guess it returns to its normal size when I get an erection, same thing goes for caffeine. Is it even worth doing manual stretching and jelqing exercises after drinking a cup of coffee or a red bull since blood flow to the penis is inhibited? Similarly, do you think consuming stimulants right after performing the exercises (or even on the same day, or within 48 hours, or whatever) negates any gains I might have made, considering my penis gets smaller when I do? Any opinions y’all have would be useful and sorry if this has already been covered.

I found Adderall to be detrimental to erections; never had a full, thick erection while on it.

Why would anybody want to take drugs for ADHD anyway? Some of these drugs have hideous side effects. In the UK, many of the USA kids and young adults on this stuff would not be diagnosed as needing drug treatment here. If you have a wandering attention, you can train it to focus. You can also model the intense focus of a mentor.

In actual fact, the ADHD syndrome can actually make some people a living. I know a graphic artist, who derives his creative flare from his medically diagnosed ADHD. He stopped the Ritalin, and just has the odd coffee when he feels the need.

I’m not a doctor, just my 2 cents.

I drink coffee, I’ve never noticed a problem. Now that I think about it, my biggest length gains happened when I was drinking about a pot everyday. I’m not crediting the gains to that, just saying it certainly doesn’t hurt. And I don’t think you should drink as much coffee as that, period. It’s just a bit much.

Marky - I wouldn’t necessarily take something like adderall to combat ADHD symptoms, but maybe to stay up later if I have work today. All I’m saying is that it is an example of a drug that is known to decrease blood flow to certain extremities and I’m wondering if that makes gaining from PE more difficult. Maybe I should rephrase my question: How vital is uninhibited blood flow to the penis when it comes to a PE routine? Or something like that. Rayb - I think your experience may be out of the ordinary, but I kind of want to try that.

In that first sentence I meant to say “If I have work to do.” Not “today”. Sorry.

Sorry! I don’t need much of an excuse to get on my hobby horse and bang the anti ADHD drug drum :)

I think it varies from guy to guy. Some guys find coffee makes them a little limp. For others it’s a go go drug. The thing is, any drug that boosts dopamine levels is going to enhance sexual feelings to some extent even if it lowers erection level. Age is probably the deciding factor, as to which way it goes.

I recently was diagnosed with ADHD, which I’ve long suspected and I’ve been on vyvanse and it works wonders for me, not to mention it’s a vasodilator, not a constrictor, it has made my erections stronger, last longer and my orgasms even more intense with my sex buddy!

I recommend it for sure. You still get some shrinkage initially, because the effects send more blood to your muscles that are currently in use, but that’s what assists in the stronger erections. When blood does go to your pelvic muscles and dick it’s even more than usual, so when I’m pumping or doing the light clamping I’ve just began I get AWESOME expansion.

See what your doc thinks about it, since I started it she comments about my girth and if I don’t want to cum and we go for a long time she texts me later about having a difficult time walking hahaha. :-)

Not to mention it hasn’t hindered my gains that I can tell whatsoever, if anything I think it’s helped. In retrospect I started making a jump in gains right after I started on it.

Good luck.
