Your own technique to "get it up"

For some guys, this isn’t a problem. This thread will be of little or no interest if you don’t have any problems getting stiff.

But there have been several posts and threads from guys who can’t seem to get an erection (for whatever intended purpose). Or they lose it while jelqing. Or edging. Even assuming the presence of adequate mental and/or visual motivation, some guys still can’t get hard (or stay hard) even with all that. So don’t just say, “I look at porn.” And we assume you know what to do with an erection once you get one, so this is not a thread about techniques for sex, masturbation, or PE.

So, the basic question is, What physical technique works for you to induce an erection?

Since I raised the question, I’ll start with one simple suggestion: Twirling the rope.
Make an OK grip at the base of the shaft and twirl your tool like a rope with a weight on the end. The centrifugal force can sometimes induce more blood to flow outward toward the glans. “Twirling the rope” can turn into “twirling the baton.”

OK… any other ideas?

I give my penis a few “yanks” and after a few minutes I start to get hard.

Just thinking I can get one, if I dont feel like concentrating hard enough though I’ll do what Desired does. :)

Sticking my face in my wifes ass.

Kegels will give me a clitoral erection, although they also give me a full-on vaginal orgasm, so I guess that doesn’t count. Can a kegeling session help jumpstart an erection?

Oops he said “physical”. Touching myself works.

Why am I posting in this thread? I guess wondering how similar our plumbing works. Women with low blood pressure can also help a clitoral erection along by drinking a liter of electrolyte drink beforehand. Also situps can help bloodflow to the region. Of course I would assume the easiest and most automatic way to get a fast erection would be to hold a vibrator on the frenulum for several seconds.

Think naughty thoughts…

zane, kegeling doesn’t help me jumpstart an erection if I’m not in the mood. But if I am, kegeling will bring a thick and full erection on in a fraction of the time.

if kegeling can give you and other women a vaginal orgasm, I wonder if it can contribute to giving men a prostate orgasm? I don’t know much about that since I’m straight and am averse to playing with that end, but gay friends say it’s better than a penile orgasm.

Better than a penile orgasm? I’ve NEVER heard that before… will definetly look into it though.

There was a phrase we used when I was a kid, something I haven’t heard for a while: "You lucky stiff!" (Kinda like, "You lucky dog!") Pun intended. :)

Hmmm. To each their own. I’d probably end up making a face like your avatar! But maybe someone else reading this thread will find it helpful. Your input is appreciated. And there are other parts of my wife’s anatomy that have a positive (read "erectile") effect….

When I saw your name on this thread, I asked the same question: Why is Zane posting here!? But heh, erectile tissue is erectile tissue. So thanks for posting. I’ve read some of your other recommendations for electrolytes. I’ve never thought of it as an aphrodisiac, but now my kids are going to wonder why their Gatorade supply (for after-school sports) has disappeared. I don’t own a vibrator, but I’ll have to revisit the idea (raised in jest on a "shaving balls" thread) of whether the Gillette Mach III Power (vibrating) razor would work… the vibration for erection—not the razor edge!
And speaking of "erectile tissue," you probably already know that earlobes and sinuses (as well as genitals and nipples) contain erectile tissue. Which is one reason Viagra, etc. can give a sinus headache. So if I get sinus headaches from pollen, why doesn’t hayfever give me a hardon? Ha!

That’s my experience, too. I.e., can’t get erect from kegeling alone, but it can really help if I’m "in the mood."

I don’t know about kegeling alone for a prostate orgasm. But with something providing resistance to the kegeling, it’s possible. The folks who manufacture Aneros originally designed is as a "prostate health massager" called the "ProState." See http://www.high … nstructions.php It not only provides resistance to gauge the strength of your kegeling, it stimulates the anus and internal sex organs. The orgasm they describe under "Stage 4 - Sexual Health and Benefits" can indeed happen.

But I started this thread thinking more of what a guy could do to start an erection without external aids (other than his own hands), and when "naughty thoughts" aren’t sufficient. But, theskyisthelimit is correct that the mental component is critical. See Sweet rewards - balloning works

A bullet vibe would work a lot better than an electric razor.

You get a full on orgasm from kegeling zane?? Dayum it must be fun being you hehe..;)

Yes, I get a full-on vaginal orgasm from about ten seconds of kegeling, if I am thinking naughty thoughts. I usually don’t bother counting, but one of the several times I saw Billy Zane performing live on Broadway in Chicago I came 52 times, no hands. Handy for waiting in line and boring meetings. It’s just a knack—other women on my diet have developed the same ability.

But men can develop the same knack. I’ve read on the Aneros board that some men who have become adept at prostate orgasms (which roughly correspond to vaginal orgasms) are able to have them even without using the device, simply from flexing. Of course they are non-ejaculatory orgasms the men have.

I had a hell of a time when I started PEing staying semierrect for jelqing. I can get hard at will and hump for days no problem but I could not keep semi errect for more than 5-10 minutes when jelqing. It just took a while for me to program in a “Jelq response.”
