Strange/Interesting Penile Functionality

I doscovered something very strange/intriguing about my penis the other day, and thought other people may benefit from this knowledge.

For the past 5 months, I was rarely able to achieve 9/10 or higher erections. Typically was around a 6 or 7, which is ok. I was able to get hard enough that my head was shiny like a cherry back in november, but until recently it only got to a prune type.

One thing I noticed though, with myself, if I applied pressure to the dorsal vein, the penis would inflate like it used to, and would stay like that for a long time. It is almost as if it is a button to get past 8 on the EQ scale.

I am thinking this could be mild venous leak, since I can feel the blood rush from the head deflating once pressure is removed from the dorsal vein, but only if stimulation has stopped.

Does anyone else experience anything similar? It is very minor, and basically means that I have to apply pressure ocasionally to block the dorsal vein to get a cherry head. Otherwise, with normal stimulation, I can achieve a decent 7 or 8 erecton. With the pressure, I can get a 9 or 10 level pressure, which feels awesome after 5 months without.
