PE intensity gauge theory

I have a theory that I would like to share.

I am one of those charting and plotting mechanical engineers so I tend to anally log and chart data on many things including PE.

I have tracked my PE techniques and data since October 2002. I have noticed a strong correlation between night erections and PE growth rate.

What might this mean? My data suggests that the night erection process is vital to the recovery process that leads to maximum gains over a given period. Of course there are other things that you do that are vital to maximizing your PE gains, one of these being a diet that will allow tissue repair.

So what does this mean to the consumer? Well, my approach is to look at the whole process from the 30,000 foot level and make nice easy adjustments to my routine that still allows decent night erections. When your night erections go away, you might be over-training the unit a bit and I would suggest a day off and then a slight adjustment to your routine.

I would also suggest that doing your PE routine earlier in the day is better for this reason so that you do not stymie this most important night erection process. Of course if your penis can take later workouts and still produce night erections then you are still in fat city as far as I am concerned.

If I can still easily get an erection 5-6 hours after my PE session then I raise the intensity of my routine. And yes, I do a periodic erection check just for this purpose so that I can tweak my routine and get maximum gains. I certainly don’t want to be wasting my time by either over or under training my unit.

Opinions? Experiences?

Sounds logical. I also try not to kill my night erections from over training.

Also I purposely get an erection 3-4 times a day, since I think it helps in healing.

I too have notice a strong correlation with intensity of night erections and levels of workout intensity. If I feel like I have a particularly good day of pe, I usually have a pleasantly sore super duper rock hard night woodie. A while back, I had one of these in the early am. My wife was on her period, when she’s not up for action :( , so I took her hand and placed it on my prick. She couldn’t believe the leve of hardness, she said it was like rock hard steel :)

However I’ve not been able to duplicate this as a daily event, and I don’t know if it’s possible, no matter how much work I put into pe the day before. However, as long as I’m having them every so often, I figure all is well.

I notice on my rest days how good my flacid hang is. I PE 5on/2off. If I have a nice flacid hang of over 6 inches then I know I’ve worked my unit well that week. As far as night woodies I jelq them away before I go to bed, but if I wake up with morning wood then I know it’s all good.

later…

When you are talking about diet are you thinking of proteine or creatine or amino acids?

Dash and others;

In terms of being ready for sexual or PE erections, there are no penile events more important than a healthy pattern of nighttime erections and you are wise to sort of track them to make sure they are occuring. The average healthy male has 4 - 5 of them a night, each lasting about a half hour. These night erections alone amount to something like an astounding 4 + years of being erect during a 75 yr lifetime.

Not only does healing from PE occur then (tissue is repeatedly re-oxigenated) but the penile vascular system gets a good flushing.

Since these events are related to REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and REM sleep occurs mostly during the latter part of the sleep cycle, waking to morning wood is a pretty common event.

RB;
That rod of steel you get at night but may not be able to duplicate often while conscious is because night erections occur through different neural pathways than sexual ones. It is the interaction of the sympathetic and para-smypathetic nervous systems (one encouraging erections, the other tending to block them) that makes for the difference.

I’ll post some info and links on this over at the Men’s Sexual Health Forum when I have time so you all can bone up, so to speak, on what happens to our dicks at night.

Frenchy,
You are correct, I am thinking about protein etc but also meal frequency. I eat 5-6 evenly spaced smaller meals throughout the day to allow continual replenishment and, therefore, quicker recovery/faster growth. Simply stated, the body needs to be in a state to repair. With PE this would also include the proper oxygenation by night erections as is well stated by avocet8.

A reasonable amount of sleep is also important for the body to repair and recover.

Now here is another thing to think about: Is there a limit to how much the body can simultaneously repair? In other words, would mixing the stresses of bodybuilding slow your penis growth? Or would it help? I have my own theories but I am about to do a test with myself by really kicking up the weight lifting frequency for the next 18 months. I am anxious to see if my PE growth rate shows any effects that are detectable.

I think that the greater muscle will take the most of protein to be repaired, but if the supplements are overdosed each part of the body will have his amount, that’s what i think.

The human body is able to accomplish some pretty outstanding things given that its needs are met. With proper diet and rest, bodybuilding and PE can coexist very happily. As far as one effecting the other, I think it has a small effect in reality. I think people tend to think that there is an effect (either good or bad) because they expect that there will be. In other words, the ego boost supplied by this combination could inspire a person to hit the weights especially hard, or hit thier PE routine really hard. If the effects of the added effort are good, they will attribute it to combining bodybuilding with PE. Likewise with a negative effect.

I think that we have a tendency to look outside of ourselves for credit or blame, whatever the case may be. Determination or coincidence are hardly ever credited when they should be.

Interesting.

I realise this is an old thread but the indication of night wood as a PE health indicator is an important one and needs to be reviewed.

I get intense night wood, to the point where my wife reaches for it a couple of times a week.

She revels in the fact that I`m so hard she can`t bend my dick in the slightest.

Initially she felt badly about waking me, and I certainly wouldn`t have woke her from a dead sleep, but now we plan noctournal rides together and fall back to sleep after still entwined.

I agree with you a-unit, most interesting and along the path we were discussing.

Reading the rest of your post all I can say is: Lucky YOU! :)

I use morning wood as a PE thermometer to gauge if I need to increase or decrease the intensity of my work outs.

This is a subject I am SO interested in with TONS of questions about it.

I am sure there are many things that can help us guage our own personal optimal intensity levels.

I think using morning wood is a giant step in the right direction. If we can learn to correctly interpret EVERYTHING our body is telling us, perhaps we could learn to nudge ourselves to our highest level of SAFE intensity without spilling over into ANY negative consequences WHATSOEVER such as ligament toughening or worse, injury.

Perhaps a thread on this might bring all the little individual “tricks” people have learned about themselves to help them guage their needed level of intensity.

I always get some ragers right before I fall asleep on the days I PE. They are not quite as noticeable on my off days. When I do first wake up I have been having morning wood but, my mornings are usually very fast paced and hectic (early morning school/work). How long should your morning wood last after you wake up to consider it a positive PI? Or does it not matter as long as you wake up hard?

Hi A.

My opinion is, night wood is a good indicator that NO levels are good and things are on track. I started PE about 4 weeks ago and prior to that had only morning wood stuff. My GF can’t keep her hands off it, night and morning now. PE sure sexed us up with gains of 3/4 ” in length Hard and 1/2” in Girth.

Good luck everyone/ Routine here- warm up-stretch 6 min.-warm up-hang 20min (1lb.)-warm up-jelq 20 min.-warm down. Age 66
