I'm Not Feeling Stronger Erections?

Yesterday was my 6th day on P.E I think, and today is my rest day. I’m doing the stretches (up, down, left, right, BTC and anti clockwise) and I’m not going for 200 jelqs because I think it’s too much. I’m doing 100. And 50 normal kegels in the end.

Today, because it’s my rest day, I decided to start edging, but for my surprise I’m not feeling that rock hard erections everyone talks about because of P.E, I’ve definitely had better erections.

Is this a sign I’m overtraining even tho I’m doing half the amount of jelqs for the newbie routine? Me being in a calorie deficit (losing weight) might be a reason too?

*One thing I think is valid to mention is that I do not have morning woods, I don’t know what it is but I don’t have them, just very rarely, and I think it happens when I’m on a big urge to pee. Is that a problem?

You may be overtraining. The newbie program was too much for me. I got reduced erection quality doing it too.

The Morningwood is not a constant thing with me either but I’m aware sometimes I get it during the night so you may be getting them during heavy sleep and not know it. But if you always had it before and now you don’t then you’re definitely getting a negative indicator.

Edging is not resting is it?

I would consider edging, to an extent, resting.

Being on a calorie deficit can definitely affect your erection quality.

As Steniroid stated yo could also be overtraining. Take these routines you see a general guidlines. If yo are very sore you can reduce time and numbers accordingly.

You could alos have poor technique so be aware of that. Jelqing takes some time to get just right.

So how do I know if it’s because I’m overtraining or because I’m in a calorie deficit?

Take a couple days off and see.

A calorie deficit should not effect it if done properly. A severe calorie deficit with not proper nutrition can effect your hormones enough that it could, though.

I have been in a calorie deficit during PE many times with great results but it was controlled with proper nutrition and intermittent fasting.

Edging is a form of active recovery in my opinion when it is not for a period longer then 15-20 min. A short bout of edging, I believe is a form of active recovery. Especially if you aren’t beating your meat too hard while doing it. But then again we all respond differently.

Either your over training and it’s slightly fatigued or your too excited and it’s mental. The mental one is more common then we know and has the strongest effects. When starting out PE your anticipating results instead of just being in the moment and that can indirectly effect things. I know it did a few times with myself.

Got it. I agree with the calorie deficit not effecting significantly the hormones if done properly. I’m not in an agressive calorie deficit and I’m getting enough protein and drinking enough water.

I think I will diminish my number of jelqs to 70 per session and see how it goes, what do you think?

*Also, do you think my erection not being that hard this morning was because I was still sored from the workout I did yesterday at night and I didn’t had enough time to recover?

Calorie deficit WILL affect you sexually. No if ands or butts about it. Sorry guys.The amount it affects you is another thing. I have a decade of nutrition/bodybuilding/powerlifting experience and considered making a career out of it. I know more about nutrition and exercise than I do most things.
6 days you do not need a break.
If you are very sore you could be overtraining.

Good idea with lowering number of jelqs. Yes being sore can cause lower erection.

I’d have to disagree. If done properly and eating timing is on point you can provide yourself with a fantastic anabolic environment along with optimal hormone levels.

But I don’t want to fall off the thread topic, like I said it could potentially be overtraining, which would be yes to your question OP. You must feel out what your unit can handle and how it’s feeling. This is all part of the beginning process.

I actually don’t feel sore at all during the day, as I’m writing this my D is 100% okay in terms of soreness or pain.

The only time I feel soreness is during the jelqs, because my foreskin gets sore by all the milkings (I’m circumsized but I have some foreskin below the glans).

So I’m really lost here, maybe my “weak” erection could be from the calorie deficit, maybe could be because I’m still not fully recovered from last night workout, I don’t know. I will start doing only 70 jelqs and see how it goes I guess..

*One last thing, how much force do you apply on your jelqs? And is there such thing as a “better grip” to diminish the chances of injury?

‘

Sorry man, you are thinking along terms of intermittent fasting (short term calorie deficit). A calorie deficit for weight loss over more than a couple of days will affect you sexually (% of calories is also a big factor). It’s just how your body works.

Yeah, you may be using too much force. Hard tell someone how much force to use. You just don’t want to grip too tight. Honestly you don’t know how your penis really feels yet, so less can be more until you get there.

Not that I know of for grip. Maybe someone else knows.

Sometimes I think I’m not using enough force. I don’t push that hard. Honeslty jelqings are very hard to master, stretches are so much simple.

Take a few days off and maintain a healthy diet.
