Two things, somewhat related, I believe, and also to the ongoing debate here:
1. When I started doing PE for the first time about 3 years ago, at age 31, I had not had consistent, lasting, noticeable morning wood in quite some time. I was probably no older than 27 when I stopped noticing morning wood on the regular.
After beginning a basic regimen of jelqing (I mostly use a jar-lifter “auto-jelquer” i made) I noticed not only an EQ difference in the sack, but my morning wood came back with a vengeance. It was like being a kid again.
2. I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I am a chronic and habitual pot smoker. I mean like I maintenance buzz most days, starting with my cup of coffee, and ending with my nightcap liquor drink (healthy lifestyle, right? doh)
Anytime I do try to start a regimen of cardiovascular or strength training (even though I have almost no body fat, <170lb, <34 waist) it is always *immediately apparent* my absolute lack of oxygen exchange capacity, in my lungs, in my muscles, represented in my piss poor endurance and easy fatigue.
I am 100% convinced that there is more than a slight causal relationship here, and a quick read of any of the lists out there of “ways to improve your erection quality” will immediately put you in touch with the reality that cardiovascular condition is a pretty strong component of overall healthy sex organ function for men.
Reading over some of the early comments and arguments in this thread was a somewhat discouraging lesson on in-fighting because I think we all do, or *should* know and understand the importance of cardiovascular health towards penile function.
Perhaps the contributing poster was in error to over-zealously suggest to a youngster that they may have cardiovascular disease. That seems somewhat irrelevant to me though, because the take away from the conversation should be that anyone seeking to improve the function of their dick should take on this challenge *in a comprehensive fashion* that starts first and foremost with a realistic and scrutinizing self-evaluation.
Look, before starting *any* exercise regimen, you always see and hear the following: “Check with your doctor or physician to ensure that you are in suitable health before starting this or any other program of … [blah blah blah]”
This phrase begs attention. If you are aiming to improve the function of your dick, and you think you may be even just moderately out of general physical condition. I truly believe you should make *that* a focal part of your overall goal of sexual health.
Your dick needs blood, like any other muscle or organ. Blood and oxygen. Improving your cardiovascular condition is important. So is the muscle tone in that entire area, I am sure.
I guess I am saying, sure the case of CV was overstated. But it couldn’t hurt for those who have reason to suspect some form of erectile inefficiency (not ED perhaps, but, “hey where’d my morning wood go?”) to simply evaluate their own generalized health (or fuck it, go get an exam) and ask, “am i generally in cardiovascular shape? If i do 50 jumping jacks do I feel dizzy? Can I do 100? Can i do 20 pushups? 50 situps? If i do squats with my own weight only, do I feel like my legs are falling off afterwards?” If these kinds of questions bring an unsatisfactory response, *work on those items* for your dicks’ sake!
I know I have taken this lesson in spades, having recently reactivated a general conditioning regime as well.
Just sayin.
