Will a weak erection hurt my gains?

[Mr. Bojangles Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mr. Bojangles]

I have been taking a prescription drug for the past 2 weeks and I have been unable to get a as hard of an erection as I used to be able to because of it. I get kind of hard but it usually doesn't last that long and it takes an effort (even when watching porn) to keep it even kind of hard. Do you think this will hurt my progress at all? Has anyone experienced what I'm going through while doing P.E.? By the way I just started P.E. back up again on Monday (I'm doing the 90 beginner program).

Well obviously if you get the EQ upto full then you will have gains from where you are now.
However if you believe this EQ will remain the same for as long as you are on the prescription drugs, then I think you may still make gains. I'm not an expert though so wait for more answers.
Kingpole tends to know how drugs and supplements affect EQ and how to counteract any negative effects. He may be along soon.

If you are only going to be on the drug for a short period of time, you could use this time to really learn the proper techniques for the exercises you will be doing. Since you haven't been at it long enough to make any kind of noticeable gains, you won't miss much. On the other hand, while it will affect jelqing exercises, stretching without much erection is just what the doctor ordered.

Yes, it may hinder gains. Any medication that causes ED should be discussed with your doctor. Perhaps he/she can prescibe something else that will not cause ED.

With all due respect, will it really hinder gains? I could see how it would hinder it if I was doing jelquing or any exercise with a harder erection but the beginner's program doesn't require you to have a full erection.

Yes, the beginer progam you don't need a hard erection, in that you can grow a fatter longer semi erect penis. But you don't want to take something that causes ED, This effect may ware off in time but sometimes side effects don't ware off.

May i ask what medication you are taking and what for?

I'm taking Sertraline. It's a generic brand of Zoloft for anxiety and depression.

What do you mean, "This effect may ware off in time but sometimes side effects don't ware off"?

Some side effects ware off. Sometimes they don't. SSRI'S are natorius erection killers. Perhaps your doctor can prescribe wellbrutin, less sexaul side effects.

I don't think I wanna switch medications right now because they take so long before you actually start feeling the effects (usually like 3-4 weeks). Hopefully the impotence wears off...

I appreciate your feedback though. Thank you.
