Continuation of 'Penis hard when flaccid' thread...
Hey guys. I've been suffering from a similar problem as most of you. Most days penis is smaller and hard when flaccid, lowered sex drive, can't get full erections in this state like I used to, rarely get morning wood, when erect penis it's so stiff that you cannot bend it left and right slightly, and so on. In my case however all this goes away after I don't masturbate or have sex for about 5 days. Then upon ejaculation the 'hard flaccid penis' comes back to haunt me.
For me this started 6 months ago after one night when I had done ecstacy. I've found at least 3 other people on the internet with the exact same problem that started after a night on ecstasy. I've done countless research online and went through every forum with people who report 'hard flaccid penis'. A lot of us share the same symptoms which leads me to believe that the problem derives from one source, be it poor circulation, nerve damage, or imbalanced hormones, but yet nobody has made the connection.
I too suffer from a back injury as some others, but I definitely ruled out the theory that this is caused by spine problems. My back pains come and go, but the penis problem is uncorrelated. In my particular case I am convinced that this was brought by ecstacy becasue others have reported the exact same symptoms and timing. This could mean that E either messed up my serotonin levels, or messed up my circulation somehow. Heat does help 'soften' up my flaccid penis somewhat as others have mentioned. Also there is a possbility that I, as well as many of you, have some form of prostatitis. We need to go get that checked out. If that is the case than the good news is that it is treatable.
So I've narrowed it down to three possibilities for my case:
- Prostatitis
- Unbalanced circulation or hormone levels caused by the MDMA
- some weird STD (I've had unprotected sex numerous times, but this option is very unlikely as it started the morning after I have done mdma).
I am going to get checked out next week and I will post my findings.
In the case that this is due to some circulation problems amongst most of us, from my research I recommend you all to start taking Omega-3 fish oils and L'arginine ethyl ester (helps increase and improve blood flow) on a daily basis. Further look into Ginko Biloba, but I'm unsure about the effectiveness of this. Also wrap a hot towel around your penis once a day.
If this is due to hormonal imbalances, such as serotonin levels in my case, then the key is a balanced diet, a multi-vitamin, sunshine, physical exercise and give your penis a lot of rest. Perhaps try to go for weeks without sex if possible.
I have just started applying all of this for myself. I'm going to a doctor next week and will post my results. Whoever has valid imput or knows a thing or two around medicine and neuroscience please share! We are going to get through this with doctors or without!

Had similar type of symptoms when I had taken herbal viagra but things seem to be somewhat fine now.
I also was doing penis stretching exercises at that time.
Problem started almost a year ago and I had been to andrologist who was not of any help but told me
that taking herbal viagra could have caused the spasm of the smooth muscles.
He however told me that at the time when I went for checkup penis was relaxed as he could stretch the
facid penis.
The next time I went he told me that I was just waisting his time as he does not thing anything is wrong.
I did not make any post at this time since everyone mentions different symptoms and everyone have there own experiments with different medication and health supplements.
Lot of us have made MRI and various hormone and other test but have no expert review on it and make
there own conclusions.
This is not working.
Can we e-mail each other pictures of our problem to start with as just describing the symptoms in text itself if causing confusion.

I have read all your comments and basically have very similar, or exact, issues. I have had a tuf few years, and experienced everything from extreme stress and anxiety from my job, to bad eating habits, to unprotected sex, to no exercise. Therefore, the reason for this issue could be many. Instead of relisting my issues, I will do the opposite and rule out possible reasons for the case and why. 1/ Stress - may have been adding to the issue, but now left that job and have been 'relaxing' for past 4 months with no true additional benefit. So don't think stress/anxiety is the reason. 2/ Sex, no as I have taken the tests and antibiotics to rule this out. 3/Exercise/eating - jury still out here, as I just started a week ago to give up alcohol and sugary foods, etc... but no true benefit yet.
Here is atleast one thing it could be - YEAST INFECTION. It may cause all the issues you guys mention from inflammation affecting the hard flaccid penis to depression to hemorrhoid related issues. Also, any drugs drs put you on would only make this worse. I am going to move forward with that approach as drs have been no help and see what it does. This will be a long approach because unlike the "yeast infections disappear within a week" claims of meds, this does not work if you have had yeast issues for many, many years. Also, to see if this is true for you, when you first get up in the morning spit twice in a glass of water, wait 15mins and see the formation, if it is stringy, spiderweb-like, you prob have a YI. Would love to hear your opinions.

you guys just keep mentioning the same crap.. its not that difficult
STEP 1: GET TESTED FOR ALL POSSIBLE HORMONES AND SEE IF YOU HAVE DEFICIENCIES
STEP 2: IF YOU DO HAVE PLENTY OF DEFICIENCIES THEN YOUR HARD FLACCID IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO INFLAMMATION AS A RESULT OF ALL THE IMBALANCES. WHAT YOU WANT TO DO THEN IS FIX ALL YOUR IMBALANCES (BRING ALL HORMONES BACK IN PROPER RANGES) VIA MEDICATIONS AND SUPPLEMENTS. THIS WILL NOT BE EASY. YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NEED A GOOD DOCTOR'S SUPERVISION UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ON YOUR OWN. IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TRAIL AND ERROR, MAY TAKE A YEAR TO BALANCE EVERYTHING... BUT ONCE ALL HORMONES AND NEUROTRANSMITTERS ARE BALANCED, INFLAMMATION SHOULD BE REDUCED AND HARD FLACCID SHOULD BE GONE.
I KNOW TWO GUYS THAT HAVE TREATED THEIR HARD FLACCID THIS WAY - BY BALANCING ALL HORMONES WHICH TOOK MONTHS AND MONTHS OF READING ONLINE AND TRIAL AND ERROR. BUT THE RESULT IS 100% RECOVERY.
GO TO MUSCLECHATFORUM AND EDUCATE YOURSELF ON EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
TO TEST IF YOU DO HAVE INFLAMMATION PRESENT YOU CAN DO THESE THINGS:
1. SMOKE POT - FOR ME IT RELIEVES HARD FLACCID SOMEWHAT
2. TAKE TYLENOL OR OTHER ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPS - IT SHOULD GIVE YOU ENERGY AND REDUCE HARD FLACCID TEMPORARILY. TAKE LIKE 3 TYLENOLS
3. TRY OTHER ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPS LIKE CURCUMIN - FOR ME IT RELIEVED HARD FLACCID BY LIKE 25%.
IF THOSE THINGS HELP RELIEVE HARD FLACCID SOMEWHAT AND YOU KNOW YOU GOT A HORMONAL IMBALANCE THAN STOP WASTING TIME AND GO AND FIX ALL THOSE HORMONES.
STEP 3: IF MOST OF YOUR HORMONES COME BACK FINE AND/OR WEED, TYLENOL HAVE NO EFFECT.. THEN THERE'S A CHANCE THAT YOUR HARD FLACCID IS DUE TO PELVIC FLOOR TENSION/DISRODER.
I STILL HAVENT READ MUCH ABOUT PELVIC FLOOR TENSION, BUT PEOPLE AT PEGYM FORUM CLAIM TO HAVE CURED FROM IT. ONE GUY BY ABSTAINING FROM MASTURBATING FOR MONTHS AND TAKING GINKO, GINGER, GINSENG, GARLIC AND OTHER BLOOD ENHANCING/ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPS AND HIS HARD FLACCID WENT AWAY FOR GOOD. ANOTHER GUY WAS DOING A LOT OF STRETCHING/YOGA/AND PRESSURE POINT MASSAGE ON PELVIC REGION TO RELIEVE TENSION AND CLAIMS THAT HIS HARD FLACCID IS GONE FOR GOOD TOO.
SOO... GET TESTED FOR HORMONES, IF IMBALANCES THEN EITHER WAY TREAT THEM FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH. SEE IF HARD FLACCID GOES AWAY WHEN HORMONES AND INFLAMMATION ARE TAKEN CARE OF. IF NO THEN LOOK FURTHER INTO PRESSURE POINT MASSAGE THERAPY AND MAYBE TRY ABSTAINING FOR MONTHS WHILE TAKING ANTI-INFLAMMATORY MEDS.
GOOD LUCK
I KNOW MY HARD FLACCID IS DUE TO INFLAMMATION. I'M ABOUT TO ORDER ALL THE SUPPS AND MEDS I NEED. I'LL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED

Hey everybody, I'm really new to this, actually, this started happening yesterday afternoon. I will give all the details, and please people tell me what you think about my case and how I can help it. I am 19 years old.
I just recently moved to a new state and I came here on a 8 day road trip. During that time I came down with a urinary tract infection, once I got here, I immediately saw a doctor and received antibiotics. The infection was cured, but I had some leftover pain for several days. During this entire process I had not been able to have any sexual thoughts or really have an erection, so yesterday I tried masturbating to maybe "fix" the problem I was having and immediately took a hot bath, while I was in there I noticed my penis got quite hard but limp and flaccid at the same time, and my scrotum/testicles seemed to tighten and retract and everything became hard and quite cold for the remainder of the day and had lasted all yesterday until today and it's now been almost 24 hours. I haven't been sleeping well in weeks due to my UTI and have had a loss of appetite and I already have had SEVERE OCD since I was about 4 years old, I have a long standing history of anxiety attacks and mental breakdowns. I have not been myself and It's been like a living hell, and now since yesterday THIS started happening. I try going for walks but it makes my scrotum retract so badly and I feel the nerves in my thighs cramping up and my penis just stays "hard flaccid". I used to practice frequent masturbation(sometimes 3 times a day) for most of my youth up until the past month since I started this move to a new state, where I basically just stopped cold-turkey. While on antibiotics for my UTI, I had taken an anxiety medication called *Atarax, I'm not sure if it's an amphetamine, but it did not help anything, I had also taken Saw Palmetto on my road trip because at the time I was convinced I had prostatis, because I had not yet seen a doctor. Anyway, I have not been sleeping well, I have been losing my appetite for like a week now, constant anxiety. I need to know NOW if there is something I can do that can make it so I can survive because at the moment I am homeless and staying with a relative and I can't stay here much longer. I need to be able to work, but how can I function and support myself when I feel like s**t? I also experience my heart pounding hard and It seems like I get hot/overheated for no reason just sitting there doing nothing. I understand that some of this is psychological, but I HAVE to know if there is something I can with a doctor that can fix me up otherwise I don't know how I can live my life with something like this...Please help me
