Penis Hard When Flaccid.

Ok, so when I’m sitting down for quite some time, then I stand up. MY penis shrinks slightly and becomes hard on the edges.
I also get this when getting into the shower.

My erections aren’t what they used to be, like I don’t get random erections any more. I do however get SOME morning wood - it’s only semi erect though and lasts a short amount of time.
Also, if I masturbate and then stand up to finish off - my erection goes down instantly. My erections are also only about 70% hard, and that’s with constant stimulation.

I haven’t tried PE, but I was going to - and after reading some of the problems people had ( similar to mine ) I decided to make a post.

So, what do you think I should do ?

I’ve stopped masturbating for 17 days now, been taking Ginkgo for 3 Days, and warm wraps for 3 days.

How old are you?

Stress, medication, sleep?

I’ve just turned 18
Not much stress to be honest.

I get around 7-8hrs sleep a night, generally I am a little tired. But not fatigued.

I go to the gym 3x a week, eat very healthily ( I’ve even tried taking 2 weeks off the gym ) to no avail.

Stopping masturbation is probably not solving your problem.

It could be stress, not enough sleep, bad nutrition, lack of exercise, some illness etc .

Stress; No
Bad Nutrition; Def not
Lack of exercise; 3x weight lifting per week
Sleep; 7-8hrs
Illness; surely there’d be more symptoms ?

Yeah, well noticing something makes you wonder, which then turns into a selffulfilling prophecy.

Take it easy.

When you are training 3 times a week (and hard) you need more sleep. Try to sleep 9 hours after a hard workout.

How much cardio are you doing? Working your heart and lungs will help get the blood flowing better.

I do occasional cardio a week.

what does occasional mean? 3x, 4x, 1x?

I think in general people underestimate the effect stress has on your libido. Stress doesn’t necessarily mean your always under pressure/have a lot of work etc. You say your not stressed but obviously this problem is causing you a little bit of stress. I know personally that in the past if I haven’t been getting rock hard erections and I’m about to do the deed I think really hard about trying to get a rock hard erection and the result is.. No erection what so ever. If I relax and take my mind off of it, I get what I wanted.

Recently I had a constantly stiff flaccid member. I freaked out about it. Eventually I decided fine I’ll live with it and literally it went away in a day or so. Anxiety/stress often gets you in these cycles where thinking about it makes it worse and because it’s worse you think about it more. It’s hard to do but try not thinking about it at all next time you masturbate and see if that helps. Of course, if you think about not thinking about it, your thinking about it. Basically don’t expect it to go away tomorrow because when it doesn’t it will make things worse.

The only thing that hints it might not be stress related is that your problem occurs when you change position (sitting to standing up) or temperature (shower) which hints at a blood flow issue. If it is it should fix itself as long as you keep up the warm wraps, masturbate not too much but not too little. Try doing more cardio work at the gym. Also I don’t know if these apply to you but drinking/smoking/drugs have a huge effect regardless of your age.

It’s gotta be the blood flow issue.
All I can think of is that I’ve gained abit of weight over the past years ( mainly muscle ).

Well blood flow issues don’t usually just happen and I don’t think muscle gain would cause any problems as generally blood flow issues related to weight are caused from fat build up in blood vessels. Keep doing what your doing with the warm wraps, but I don’t recommend you quit masturbating all together, 1-3 times a week is probably right. If that doesn’t help, you might want to consider a doctor.

Ok, I think you are on to something. I think you have caused some minor trauma to your penis, like we PEers sometimes do (expecially when overtrain). The cause could be a random impact or movement while doing sport, having sex or mansturbating - it’s not that strange, we had members here who had a very bad injury while swimming, in example.

If you don’t have pain or anything, avoid masturbation for at least one week and things should go fine again.

Make us know.

Yeah there is no pain etc.

I have stopped masturbting for 17 days now
