I am back and need help

[newbienewb Member Find all posts View Profile Close newbienewb]

So I am back to post on here after being away for a rather long time. Ill recap my story. I joined the thread about a year and a half ago and was super excited to start jelqing. After doing some research I thought I knew enough to begin. I jelqed for about three weeks and ran into an injury. I was naturally very worried because I suddenly was not able to maintain or even obtain an erection. I posted my exercise regiment, it went as follows:

10 minute warmup
10 minutes stretching
15 minutes jelqing

I jelqed with a rather high erection level during 3-4 sessions over the three weeks and ran into the injury after that. I believe that is what caused my injury. I had rock hard erections and morning wood beforehand and now am left with close to nothing. I went from 10-2 in EQ level.

It has been a little over a year and my injury seems to show little improvement. I have tried everything from hot wrapping to massaging and little seems to effect me. My sex drive has also disappeared. The only thing that seems to help are blood flow increasing supplements such as L-arginine and cayenne. I have combined that with edging sessions and kegeling, it has somewhat helped. It seems that at random times I end up having morning wood or a decent erection, its very confusing. Anyways I also went to the doctor and they ran blood tests, along with a physical exam of the penis, they said it was all fine. The next step would be to either figure out a healing plan from someone more experienced on here, or go to a urology clinic where they can x ray the penis. My injury never had any pain, swelling/bruising, or discoloration of any kind. It essentially just stopped working properly without any real signs.

Overall I am still very happy and do become excited when I see my penis work. My mood doesn’t affect me regarding this matter, in fact I hardly think about my penis. This isn’t psychological. I am however concerned and realize that I need some more sound advice. I hope that people on here can help me through this process and even better, provide a solution.

Welcome back and I am sorry to hear about your injury. Think about reducing your stretch time to five minutes and your jelq time to ten, at least to start with. Then increase a minute for both every week after the first couple weeks, until you reach your target times. I know that this could go with out being said, but I'm going to say it any way. No jelqing with an erection over 80%. Try for 50%, be safe and go slow as it sounds like pain is not a very good guide for you.

Good luck and I hope that your libido and EQ improves.

I second the advice that Unita has given you. Also, this might be worth a try to see if your EQ improves.....

I'm not sure what effect this tea will have on your penis since you've injured yourself, but it's worth checking out. Many people have tried this tea and have seen great results! I hope you heal quickly and find your way safely back into PE.

Also, you might want to PM kingpole, he is quite knowledgeable about herbal supplements....Perhaps he could suggest something to improve your EQ.

What newbynewb needs is more time to heal and to apply the herbs and exercises i already gave him. This is why i stress safety in doing PE. Better to be over causious then not wary at all. Injuries take time to heal possibly years.

what kind of safety are you talking about here? Is it that he jelqed at too high an Erection level or what? His routine doesn't scream crazy to me as newbie.

Well I have been trying to heal for the past year. I have stopped all enlargement exercises such as jelging or stretching, and am currently only doing stamina work. I must say that it is very hard. I am hardly every aroused and have a difficult time even obtaining an erection to full porn. I never have sexual thoughts and dont become aroused by anything. I used to be able to masturabate normally, multiple times in a row. I would have sexual thoughts all from my imagination, or from an attractive woman in my presence. Now I cant even feel that way half the time when a woman is attempting to arouse me by say grinding up on me with clothes on. Its all been very for me. Before I had a sex drive that was through the roof, now its a complete joke. The only times I do become somewhat aroused are when I am with my current gf. Although we haven't had sex yet, at random times I do become aroused, yet my erection isn't as hard as it would normally have been before.

Essentially what I am saying is that I am worried. I am taking all the supplements and attempting to do stamina work, yet its hard to obtain an erection. Sometimes I keep it, sometimes I lose it. Most of the time the erection is decent at best, never very hard. It seems to also be much looser at the base. Doesn't point straight up as much like before. I dont know if its nerve damage or vein damage, but I really am need some type of solution. I am keeping a positive attitude through out this ordeal, yet I do need support and guidance. I hope you guys and gals, can provide me with some assistance. Thank you

So it seems you have two problems:

1) a penile injury
2) low sex drive

Problem (2) is enough to cause your current ED all by itself. I would advise you to focus on getting your sex drive back. Then you will know where you stand. Perhaps you should see a sex therapist?

As for (1), I feel you should lay off the PE until complete recovery. Hot baths daily have done a lot for my EQ - though they ruined my back . I would also have an echo-doppler done, currently the gold standard of tests. It will probably come out normal, but at this stage it is completely warranted.

Having reread your thread, I'm not sure how much I can add to what has been said before. After over a year, since your injury, I'm leaning more toward ED than any residual from high level jelqing. Your low libido is the most likely culprit of your ED. Since you do get erections, I'm thinking that your plumbing is not the problem. You say it's not in your head and that maybe true, but that is were sexuality starts and is also the source of most peoples ED and low sex drive.

You mentioned that you have had test at the doctors; I think it is time to go see the doctor again and tell him about your low sex drive and lack of interest in sex. Ask the doctor to check your testosterone level and if it is low or on the low end of normal ask to try some replacement therapy as low T levels have been the down fall of many a dick.

Consider restarting into an easy beginners routine. Many of us have have notable increase in EQ after a few short weeks. Safety first, it really is about penis health.

Not knowing age, other medical issues if any, I would throw out a couple of ideas to "perhaps" enhance your erection levels.
You could try the use of a penis pump/cylinder, at safe levels of vacuum & time.
Maybe pick up a "cock ring", a flexible ring that goes around your cock & scrotum. Circumference size of the ring is important to having it work satisfactorily.
Maybe one night a week, have an erotic session, either by yourself or with a willing accomplice, designed to get you turned on, and kept excited for some amount of time. Obtaining sexual relief/orgasm is not required, however, it is secondary to this exercise.
The goal is just to get yourself aroused, and to enjoy staying aroused, be positive minded, and treat yourself as "I deserve this", "It's ok to do this", "I am going to enjoy myself". You may simply need to rediscover that by playing with yourself that you are not going to hurt or damage your penis, again.
It's ok to play with it, we all do that !

Do you have any other medical issue or are taking anything at would account for your diminished sex drive?
This sounds like the root of the issue to me rather than a jelqing injury a year ago.

[diesel121 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close diesel121]

I'm not too sure what more I can add to what has already been said. I'm not too familiar with dealing with more serious injuries since the only one I've ever had was a minor one. I'm sure it has already been mentioned, but have you read this before https://www.pegym.com/forums/erectil...erections.html

Did you notice these issues immediately after your sessions of high erection jelqing or did they come later? I'd say that it is possible for you to still be getting over this injury, but perhaps what Unita has mentioned is more of a possibility. The reason I say this is because a PE injury wouldn't cause a lack of sexual thoughts or lack of sex drive, and if your penis was still badly injured, it's my guess that you that wouldn't be able to get any erections at all.

I would take Unita's advice and perhaps speak to a Dr. and mention the lack of sex drive and lack of sexual thoughts and see what he has to say. Wish I could be more helpful, but I have very little experience dealing with injury.

Have you been doing kegels? If not, perhaps you should consider starting a kegel routine which can help boost EQ.

With your history of issues you should use a more conservative and precise routine- one that you slowly build up in intensity and volume. Jelqing with a high degree of erection is also risky.

[blink2000 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close blink2000]

I wonder what the medical assessment is for your situation.

Good luck with the healing process.

[All2Real Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close All2Real]

Have you tried kegeling? How is your concentration while achieving an erection?

[kingpole Retired ModeratorPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close kingpole]

Newb, are you siing a soft grip, most injuries do not happen because off an high erection level by they happen do to a grip that is to tight.
