Newbie - tried very small stretches and now I have what feels like ED

[reallyworriedabouted]

Hello everyone,

I apologize for not introducing myself and this being my first post, but I'm really really freaking out.
I'm a 27 yo male, in perfect health, sexual or otherwise. Or at least I might have been.
For the past week, I have been reading about jelqing and various penis growth techniques.
I'm gonna be honest, in the beggining I always thought all of those were bullshit.
I decided to read more to inform myself and I was surprised to see that apparently, jelqing and stretching give some results to many men. I read extensively about the dangers of jelqing too hard, too often, under erection, as well as stretching your penis too much.

I was still curious about it, so I decided to give a very short try, just to see what it felt like more than anything else (I'm a curious person who liked to test new things himself).
I took a hot shower for 20min, applied hot water for 4-5 min directly on my penis and around (since warm up is so very important) and did some stretches from the beginner routine.
The simple ones, stretching your penis by pulling on it, and keeping it under tension for 30sec (10 series like that, total of 5min). Well since I was just doing this out of curiosity, and didn't want to injure myself, I did 5 series, of 20-25 sec and didn't pull hard AT ALL (I tugged until I felt a very slight tension and even eased up on that quite a few times). I also did what must have amounted to 1 or 1.5 very soft "jelq" (not even a proper one, as I said, not wanting an injury, I barely squeezed/didn't squeeze at all). I must mention I did these exercises with a flaccid penis (slightly bigger because of the hot water) or at 20-30% erection at best (and even that was for like half of one serie of stretches).

I masturbated after getting out of the shower, already worried that I might have done something to my penis, even though I took so many precautions (I have anxiety and even what I would say is a bit of OCD - obessive compulsive/intrusive thoughts mostly. But I don't want this to turn into a "it's all in your head" situation). It felt a bit strange after I finished masturbating, so I did it again. I thought I felt like it was harder to get an erection, my erections weren't as strong and I lost my hard-on quickly if I stopped touching myself for even 5-10sec. After I finished the second time, I felt that the base of my penis was now harder than usual, even flaccid (even though this subsided a bit after a while).
I masturbated a 3rd time to try an reassure myself and, while I could get erections without manual stimulations, I felt they quite weaker and as soon as I started getting a pretty decent one, I immediately felt like cumming. Also the head of my penis felt whiter, less filled with blood. Now, I tried getting an erection and even with stimulation, I couldn't or got 20-30% and it fell down miserably right after.

This all happened in the span of 3h. I'm sitting in my bed, almost crying, thinking I've fucked up my dick forever just by doing what amounts to 3min of very light stretching in the shower. I've read about hard-flaccing penis syndrome, Peyronie's syndrome and similar injuries that people have gotten from doing these exercises and there's no solution or cure (even tho most people it seems was from doing it too hard/too long). I'm freaking out and I feel horrible. I feel like I ruined my sex life forever.

I should mention I never heard a pop, felt any pain (if I started to feel the tugging was a bit strong I immediately eased up) and that I'm a guy that could get solid erections very easily, even after masturbating 2-3 times. I also forgot to add that now jerking my flaccid penis feels very pleasurable, with a tingly sensation all over it and down to my perineum and close to my anus (but no erection achievable).
There's also been a clear decrease in flaccid size. My dick right now feels small and completely useless.
I'll try and go see a urologist tomorrow, even though people with this sort of injuries said it never really helped.

Do some of you have any advice or have some experience with this? I'd greaty appreciate it. And I'm sorry for the huge wall of text.


Tl;Dr - tried some penis growing manual techniques just out of curiosity, for 3 min, after amply warming up in hot shower and barely doing the exercises to make sure I didn't injure myself. Apparently I did and my dick went from working somwhat normaly, to very strangely, to barely to none at all in the span of 3h.

Let's see...you did your first PE routine ever, then masturbated 3 times in a row, in 3 hours, and can't understand why you can't achieve an erection? If I did all that fully conditioned as I am, I couldn't get an erection either. TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE...DON"T OVER EXERCISE!...just sayin'....Oh, and Welcome to the GYM!

And I agree with you, you DO seem to be suffering from OCD. You've simply overworked your Dick, so give it a rest! You'll be fine in a day or so. Meanwhile, READ ALL THE BEGINNER THREADS, START HERE, above left, top. Follow the directions given. Glad you joined us. We're here to help you on your journey!

Your paranoia and OCD probably had a lot to do with it...never mind the wanking 3 times in 3 hours!

Chill out and stop worrying...you'll be fine.

Oh...and welcome mate!

Hello, you definitely overworked your tool. Now relax and allow your penis to recover.

He's showing signs of hard flaccid and cold glans with mild ED, which is something he's never come across before.

I think we should give him appropriate advice while addressing what he's going through

Thank you very much for your reply.
I will go read the newbie section

I did think about it being due to over-exercising but I've never really had a problem getting an erection, even after masturbating once or even twice. That, along with the fact that my dick looks smaller now, that on my 3rd masturbation I ejaculated with a very soft erection and a whiter/colder head of the penis and that I have this weird tingling/pleasurable sensation all over my perineum (and that I feel it when I look at arousing stuff but can't get a hard-on) - all of that really fuels my anxiety that I've done some very bad permanent damage to myself (some of these symptoms fit nastier things such as Peyronie's Syndrome). Especially since it's all new to me, I don't recall anything like that ever happening to me.

That's why I came here, to see if people have had some similar experiences and how it went for them in the aftermath.

That's what's worrying me the most, yes.
And having anxiety and mild OCD definitely isn't helpful (every time I think about something arousing or look at it, I start feeling panic, will my dick work now, oh no i'm not feeling anything, etc.)
