Hard flaccid yet better EQ and gains

Hey guys

So I’ve been jelqing for about 3 weeks now. I usually do 2 on 1 off and my routine consists mostly of wet jelqing, squeezes and squeeze jelqs. A few days ago I had a longer session than I usually do and the next day I woke up and my penis was fairly hard in its flaccid state. I looked around on the boards and came across Hard Flaccid and from what I’ve gathered its a bad thing and everyone who has it seems to say that they can’t quite get an erection with it and especially so when standing up. Now heres the thing with me. I’m actually getting much better erection quality lately and I’m able to maintain it for longer. You see I’m on a few antidepressants and so my libido is quite low. I haven’t gotten a full 100% solid erection since hopping on the medication so the fact that I’m getting better erection quality lately is quite surprising. Its still not 100% but its without a doubt the best I’ve had in a long time. Also my measurements have gone from 5 inches girth to 5.1 inches girth. My BPEL is still 7.8 but I’m actually not concerned about length gains. I just want to eventually get to 6 inches girth but I’ll be happy with 5.5 inches.

So should I worry about this hard flaccid? It is getting softer day by day but having better erections doesn’t quite fit the description of a hard flaccid and its problems.

The last few guys I communicated with on this subject were probably on that thread. I think a lot of the problem stem from very tight muscles that cross the buttocks/lower abdomen/pelvis. Some people gain benefit from doing stretches that release spasm in these muscles. Look up piriformis and psoas for starters. Never force a stretch. You should get advice from a professional before doing these stretches. They are more powerful than they look.

If you are on medication for depression, chances are you’re stiff all over - and not in a good way! So bring more relaxation inot your life. Do you have a long term aim to be med free?

Thanks. Yes I’m hoping to taper off the meds at the end of the year.

So do you think it is OK to continue the jelqing?

I’m not a doctor! So I would err on the side of caution. Get your dick better first. Work on your stress levels. Find fullfilment in life.
