No problem with being aroused without orgasm, that's common and would not be damaging.
It is not damaging to have an erection for less than 4 hours.
The risk of having an erection for more than 4 hours is that the blood can clot in the corpus cavernosum causing a permanent erection
good luck with your urology appointment.
you're right, it may not have anything to do with your partner.
One concern for both of you is that erectile dysfunction can be a sign of blood vessel problems, due to one of many possible problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or inheritance. It's worth checking into these possibilities.
Hi, I'm a 37 yo male and am experiencing the same problem(s) as you are, apparently. I should have an appointment with my Urologist this week to check up on what my GP has already checked. I too am finding the same thing that is happening to you on wakeup. Have you tried to use Viagra or any of those and if so, what was the outcome? I've tried and still have the same problem once penetration starts. Can you please let me know what the results are of your Jan 11th appointment? I'm at my wits end as well because my partner, which is now separated from me, seems to think its all her and our "chemistry" when I KNOW it isn't.
No, when I say Blue balls, I mean being aroused without orgasm. I never even heard of blue balls from orgasm without ejaculation? Priaprism isnt caused from sexual desire from what Ive read. So can being aroused for a while do damage even though its under the 4 hour mark that constitutes priaprism?
When you say ED I assume you mean erectile dysfunction?
Stress is a big contributor to ED. If you don't wake up with erections I'd be more worried about an organic problem other than stress.
When you say blue balls, you mean you orgasm without ejaculation? If so, no, that's not damaging to sexual function.
Corporal fibrosis is unusual without priapism or other organic problems.
It's worth looking into more since you don't have erections on awakening. Consider testing for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other problems that can affect the blood vessels.
