Weakened veins due to PE'ing

Hello all.

I did a search on this, but couldn’t find any satisfying threads, so here goes..

Some time ago I read a report from a doctor claiming excersises that enlarge your penis, thus also enlarging your veines, could make the veins become weaker.
This would lead to not being able to, or at least having more difficulty getting erections.

Since I’ve been PE’ing for a while and have seen my veins become significantly larger, this got me worried. Of course, as far as I can tell, my “unit” is still working as expected so I’m not really THAT worried. Yet..

Has this happened to anyone here? Can it happen? (Well, of course, not being careful enough could cause any kinds of trouble, but you know what I mean.)

Would this be a “Doctor Lin” report?

I think this or similar has been discussed before. The basic theory as I semi-understand it is that forcing fluid through the veins in the opposite direction intended may be detrimental. The inside of veins have these “flaps” in them that help prevent blod from flowing BACKWARDS. You see, in order to get blood to travel up your legs back to your heart it has to be pumped. However, in between pumps what keeps the blood from flowing backwards down to your feet? These flap thingies plus also smooth muscle (maybe). This is how I understood it some time ago. There is also the possibility to increase the “leakiness” of the veins. Technically though, blood flows only out arteries through pores in the arteries, as far as I know. No one can really tell you what will happen 10 years from now. You can view it as another reason to be careful. I personally think the reasoning seems a bit fishy. Also, I don’t remember anyone ever reporting decreased erection strength from PE, maybe one or two have. However, no more than you would expect from chance as the breast implant people would tell you. PE carries some risk.

I, and many many many others, have experienced nothing but STRONGER Erections from PE. Some times you will experience a short-term weaker erection. This is usually due to over-exercising the penis.

Since the oneway valves in the penis veins work the opposite way compared to all other veins - (keeping blood forwards, whereas the other veins keep blood from flowing backwards), jelquing upwards should be OK. Possibly the pressure changes when your hand moves forward will cause a sudden pressure increase on the oneway valves as you move upwards the shaft. Your hand passes, and so the maunal clamp holding the pressure releases and there might be a slight overlap as your hand has passed a oneway valve but there is still pressure between the valve - closer to the base - and the hand - moving upwards - but this pressure should diminish as the hand moves forwards. This is probably the best reason AGAINST erect jelquing, because when you are erect the oneway valves are closed and so the pressure hits against a closed valve the wrong way. If you are flaccid, the valves are open/semiopen.

But this is fluid dynamics - we have one member who is currently studying fluid dynamics, but not from a medical point of view. My guess is that done in moderation, this should not present a problem.

REVERSE jelquing on the other hand, increasing the pressure against the oneway valves, is almost certainly a sure way of ruining your erections.

I thought penile veins had no valves?

"Venous drainage occurs through venules below the tunica albuginea. Unlike other venous structures, penile venules have no valves; these venules close by compression against the tunica, as the corpora fill with blood."

Para-Goomba - Thanks for the swift correction. Please erase my post or allow me to edit it.

So the venules (what is that?) close by being pressed against the tunica, I understand this as the veins are lying next to the tunica on the inside and as the pressure increases these are pressed against the tunica and the venules are blocked - presumably the venules are on the side against the tunica then? Presumably they are just simply “holes” in the vein?

I still think that this would be an argument for not jelquing erect. If the CC are under regular erection pressure, and then we add the pressure of jelquing, the veins are repeatedly compressed against the inside of the tunica at a much higher than normal pressure, certainly above the design pressure of the venules/veins. If the venules are located on the tunica side only, then they are simply pressed harder against the tunica, but possibly the dynamic movement when jelquing would “dislodge” them and cause the pressure to hit the venules anyway. Who knows? Would a higher than normal pressure through the venules cause them to be stretched and thus allow greater outflow than originally intended?

When jelquing flaccid/semierect the pressure goes up to design pressure or moderately past the design pressure. Should be on the safe side, I think. I guess the key word is “moderate”.

At any rate the veins exit the CC somewhere, and after that there will be a oneway valve in action, but that should be well below the base (?) and thus not really affected by the jelq.

Thanks for your input guys! Cleared a few things up for me.

As I said, I don’t have any problems, just wanted to hear your thoughts about this. Better safe than sorry though!

Indeed better safe then sorry.
