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!

Any updates, guys? We can't let this thread die...
I've been using 5mL of magnesium oil, once a day, on my chest, arms and back, for about 2 weeks. I'm noticing some improvement, even without abstaining from sex. I'm going to order Blackmores Magnesium Powder later this month to push the recovery process faster.
By the way, if you can tolerate the stinging of magnesium oil on your penis, it really really helps the hard flaccid to soften up. Like, when the oil is on my penis, it shrinks up very small (due to the stinging sensation) but within a few minutes of rinsing with a wet washcloth, my flaccid does a complete 180. Tiny and hard to big and mushy.
Just apply it to the shaft and NOT the head.
buddy9, are you still around? I'm eager for more advise on all this magnesium supplementation.

I have been on a program of Potaba/Magnesium Pills (1000MG)/ and Magnesium Oil for about two weeks. Not really seeing much improvement though I do see how alcohol makes you feel better on a short-term basis. Anyways, wondering if it will take longer doing it the way I have or if I should be utilizng the powder? Thanks.
Yes they would not stay up on their own they would need stimulation to stay up, they would also go down significantly quickly if I stood up. My erections also would have around lets say 1/5 an inch of girth less almost every erection. Very rarely VERYYYYY rarely do I get a natural feeling erection. It has been so long I don't know what a healthy erection is anymore. But I do know now that the erections I am having are not normal. As a man, you can tell.
Were you having any erection problems prior to curing yourself with the magnesium powder ? If so, what problems were you having.
