Flaccid penis is a little firm.

It has been firm for about 2 weeks now. It’s not really bad, just not as soft and spongy as it used to be. Can anyone tell me what the negative effects of a firm flaccid penis is. Will this hinder my PE gains? Do I need to do anything to fix it?

Yes I may hinder gains, and doing PE right now may make it worse. You want to stop PE for a few weeks for sure. Apply a hot rice sock to it everyday for a half hour.

I concur.

You definately overdid something here.

I don’t believe fully that a firm penis hinders gains. It certainly doesn’t help though. If its bothering you then take time off as kingpole suggested. When you restart use less intensity.

I heard that stretching after applying a hot wrap can help get rid of flaccid firmness. Is there any truth to this? Should I continue to stretch or stop altogether?

Hey bill6275.:) Leave that thing alone already! My guess is that you are just doing slightly more with your PE than your penis can take. Like they say above, give it a total rest until you regain your normal flaccid feeling again, and leave it a few days and then re-start at possibly a little lesser rate. Until then, take it easy, sure add heat why not? Or have a nice long warm bath or whatever. From personal experience, this may indicate you are in the area where gains are possible, so take heart and go easier and enjoy the gains when they come.:)

I agree with the senior members. I’ve been PEing for over a year and I know that when I start getting that tight, clammy feeling in my dick that it’s time to back off. Just take a break until it’s loose and comfortable again then ease back into your routine.

Thanks for all the advice, I have decided to rest until it’s back to normal. So can I still be intimate with my girlfriend? She loves to give me handjobs and I don’t think I can put her off for 2-3 weeks. Also is it ok if I continue to kegel?

I had an Firm penis,too me it shows growth potential because it shows that the area is filled with nutritious blood ;)

But It should never be firm while PE:ing, a proper warmup may remove it.

I actually like the slightly firm flaccid. I seem to have incredible PIs when I have it.

This is interesting because it seems like everyone has their own opinion. No one has addressed the negative effects of a firm flaccid, does anyone know what they are? I am currently gaining so I really didn’t want to stop my PE exercises. My penis is not hard or anything just firmer than normal, I’d say equivalent to a 30-40% erection. I am looking for a previous post where someone said that an ADS cured their firm flaccid after one day of use. If anyone finds it before I do please throw it into the discussion. I’m wondering if stretching is a good thing for my penis. I’m not even the least bit firm after a warm up and a good stretch.

The reason for an Firm flaccid is inflammation. Jelqing causes Inflammation.

I remember reading the injuries forum one day and seeing a thread about a firm flaccid penis. Now up until this point I hadn’t really thought about it. My flaccid penis fluctuates so much that having a smaller or larger flaccid hang is kind of random it would seem. However after reading that thread I started thinking about it more, and realized that some times, I too had a firmer flaccid penis. This got me thinking more and more about it and I’d almost dwell on it and constantly check. I was worried something was wrong. I found that the more I thought about it, the more it would seem to be firmer and shrunk down.

When I stopped thinking about it, it seems to have pretty much gone away.

Point being, I’m not so sure what a firmer flaccid really means. I think you’d have to take it as a sign to watch for other things. Somethings changing but be it for the better or for the worse, I think you’ll have to keep an eye open for other signals for the answer to that one.

Hmm thanks for the tips guys…I have the same issue as the threader starter and didn’t know if it was an issue or not.

If the injury is inflammation, it’s seems strange that the treatment would be a heat wrap. Usually ice gets rid of inflammation.
