Circulation to the glans

People just dont get it, porn stars PUMP.Comparing to porn stars will get you no where just like comparing yourself to a professional bodybuilder, they are who they are because of genetics, steroids, and penis pumps for porns stars which only makes them even bigger and more pumped than what they where.These people are a tiny minority that is unattainable for most of us.We all want it (us at thunders anyway ) but most wont and cant get it.Its a shame but a reality that we have to except.

Alex or anyone with a soft head problem,

Is your corpus spongiosum soft in addition to your head?

Have you ever tried Viagra, and if so does it solve the problem temporarily.

If so, could this be a chemical problem, rather than a mechanical problem (ala constricted CS), where in this case the penis is not holding holding blood, perhaps because of reduced production of GMP, or overproduction of the enzyme that inhibits it. From a web page on Viagra:

The investigation pieced together how the compound - Viagra - was beating male impotence. When sexually excited, cells in the penis produce a chemical messenger known as cyclic GMP. Its effect is to allow more blood to enter the erectile tissue, making it more rigid. The level of cyclic GMP is continuously kept in check by an enzyme. Viagra acts to inhibit the enzyme, preserving cyclic GMP and enabling the man to achieve an erection at a time that fits into having sex.

I understand the CC are still erect, but still I think it would be worth experimenting.

hi skinneeD

I also have a soft head and I have also tried viagra. Viagra did not do anything for the CS, but the CC was hard as a rock. I actually think the head was even smaller using viagra then usually.

Alex: The moment you have an orgasm, does the head fill up at this time, my head is most times filled when I have an orgasm.

The chemical-thing SkinneeD described could be right, because I only get the filled head during orgasm and there must be something happening chemically in the body at this state.

When having a normal erecting, I have a soft head, and I thing this is some sort of plumming-problem. My CS is much bigger where my penis is connected to the body, then at the head, maybe around three times as big. Perhaps the outflow is bigger then the inflow. Also the skin is much more tight at the head. There seems to be some sort of layer of skin that keeps the CS from expanding during erection, and the layer of skin starts about 1/3 up the shaft. Up to this point the CS is very big and where the skin-layer begins the CS is almost not noticeable. Basicly I think my problem is the following:

1: The skin-layer prohibits the blood inflow and also drains the CS for blood when masturbating or having sex (because the skin is going up and down)

2: On the back of my penis there is a little string that connects the head with shaft. When masturbating this string pulls on the head, which i also expect to push blood out of the head.

Hope this can help some…. And I really apriciate this tread. (sorry for the spelling, English is not my motherthung).

CDD,
This is helpful information. It seems to imply that this is not a chemical problem, but as you say, a plumbing or mechanical problem. Tight skin was mentioned above. Do all people with soft heads have tight skin?

If this is the source of the problem, from everything I’ve heard here, you have reason to be optimistic. Every PEer knows skin can be stretched easy (well, easier than ligs). Its just a matter of finding the right exercise.

Wow, interesting guys!

crazydudedenmark—-I am glad to see someone who I can relate to. We will keep this thread going until we find a solution.

Viagra I have NEVER tried. Interesting idea though. Head pumping I am still considering, but I have read that you cant get a good seal on the head?

Also, I have a string of skin attached to the underside of my penis that connects the head to the shaft. This may have something to do with it as well, I really have no idea.

My shaft is always VERY stiff, I am a young guy, but the head stays completely soft unless I do one of these 2 things.

- Stroke right underneath the head squeezing hard, flexing my PC again and again and again and again while pushing my erection to the floor.

OR

- Orgasming.

There has to be some kind of enzyme or blood vessel problem if you ask me. Because NO GUYS I talk to (even close friends or girls) have ever heard of a guy’s penis head not being stiff along with his shaft. So this is obviously a very uncommon problem. Squeezes seem to help with glans expansion, however, NOT with bloodflow to the glans.

This seems to be true in your case Alex which may mean it is for others with the problem. I know for myself my glans size has gotten considerably larger than pre-pe but in the flaccid state it is not much different. I would think that this would mean that someone who’s glans could not hold blood at erection would not reap the benefits of head expansion. The problem, as you stated, is blood flow. I think we need to concentrate on this part of the problem. I think maybe looking at other circulation problems and the therapy used may be beneficial if applied to PE. *runs off to Google*

I am curious if regular circulation supplements / drugs would help with this problem. I am surprised that Viagra doesnt do the trick.

I wonder what a DOCTOR would prescribe / suggest.

Probably nothing, cause if you can get erect and ejaculate, he wouldn’t see a medical issue…

Has anyone ever seen an up close and in depth diagram of the vessels supplying blood to the glans? That may be helpful in determining if maybe you got a kink in your hose :)

I spend a little time looking into pharmacological and homeopathic medications/herbs to increase blood flow. I am getting more and more interested in this and I have spend a good part of the morning studying this topic. Here is a list of some of the the initial medications and herbs I have found.

Prescription
Pentoxifylline CR
Controlled Release Tabs
Chemical Name: PENTOXIFYLLINE (pen-tox-i-FY-leen)

Common uses
This medicine is a blood flow enhancer used to improve blood circulation in the legs. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Feverfew: used to treat headaches and migraines. Might reduce blood clotting function, so ought to be avoided in combination with the drugs heparin or Coumadin, blood thinners.
_
Garlic: used to support the immune system, lower blood cholesterol, and lower blood pressure. Can delay the speed of blood clotting so should also be avoided with the drug Coumadin. For the same reason, also might not be taken with anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen.
_
Ginger: used to support digestion or reduce motion sickness. Can delay the speed of blood clotting so should also be avoided with the drug Coumadin. For the same reason, also might not be taken with anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen.
_
Gingko Biloba: used to support memory function, increase blood circulation and blood flow. Can delay the speed of blood clotting so should also be avoided with the drug Coumadin. For the same reason, also might not be taken with anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen. In addition might interfere with anti-depressant medications called MAO inhibitors.

All of the herbs that you listed DLD I have tried before. The perscription drug I have not tried. It maybe of some value.

And RB—-I think you have brought up a VERY key point. Does anyone have a detailed diagram of the blood vessels that supply the glans? Because I agree that there MUST be a ‘kink in the hose’ somewhere. I mean think about it—-obviously almost every guy, I would say 95%, get a stiff head when they get an erection. This small 5% must have something wrong that can be cured.

At this point I cant even IMAGINE getting an erection and having the glans fill with blood, that would be an amazing feeling at this point.

It would not hurt to see your doc and ask about Pentoxifylline. I really hope something helps.

My shaft is always VERY stiff, I am a young guy, but the head stays completely soft unless I do one of these 2 things.

AP,
Are your CC only stiff, or is your CS stiff as well. This is basic and important.
Apparantly for CDD only his CC get stiff.

- Stroke right underneath the head squeezing hard, flexing my PC again and again and again and again while pushing my erection to the floor.

This means you can get the head hard w/o orgasm, ruling out a chemical deficiency, as far as I can tell.

There has to be some kind of enzyme or blood vessel problem if you ask me. Because NO GUYS I talk to (even close friends or girls) have ever heard of a guy's penis head not being stiff along with his shaft. So this is obviously a very uncommon problem. Squeezes seem to help with glans expansion, however, NOT with bloodflow to the glans.

If your CS is soft as well, it is likely the ‘kink’, or constriction, is at or near the base of the penis. This may be consistent with pushing down giving you blood flow. Orgasm may just dilate everything down there, increasing blood flow. People get hard penis heads without orgasm- again I don’t think its that kind of a chemical problem.

If its a kink or restriction of some kind at the base of the penis, then it will be harder to find manual exercises that would help.

If there’s a clever enough doctor out there, I think there might be a simple surgery to correct this if its a simple mechanical problem at the base of the penis. Something like an angioplasty with stent, but I’m not sure.

Just some more fuel for the fire..

I am totally confused as what this means. Sorry. CS and CC? My shaft is very stiff. The tube on the underside of my shaft is NOT stiff, at all. The head is not stiff at all. Anything else?

Alex, the underside “tube” is the CS

Alex you aren’t alone.

My head is soft during an erection also.
