Is my penis overworked?

[digidong]

Hi, so i started JP90 about 3 weeks ago.. most of the time after a work out, i felt my penis is sore (but no pain).

Now, i've noticed these things:

-Sometimes during the day, I feel a like a sharp needle is poking my penis.

-I was about to have sex with this girl the other day, but then lost my erection after i wore the condom and was about to penetrate her. I think it was because i was anxious and nervous for some reasons.

-Since then, i have a hard time getting a rock hard erection just by using my mind (no stimulation).

I don't remember if i was able to get a rock hard erection before just by using my mind.. are you guys able to do that?

-I also have a hard time getting rock hard with my hands.. and i don't know if it's my mind blocking me, or i lost sensitivity.. i feel like my penis is numb and it just cant get 100% hard..

I just don't know if it's due to the bad experience i got with that girl that today i can't get rock hard anymore (hard enough for penetration), or it's because i overtrained and lost sensitivity so that's why after i wore the condom i lost my erection (and got anxious so it didn't help)..?

Is there ways to test if my penis is normal but it's just my mind blocking? Or a way to test that i did really did lose sensitivity..

or both.

Any tips is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,

First, stay calm and listen to your rational mind, not emotions.

I've read a few of your posts and noticed that you recently started experiencing a lack of sensation and loss of erections when trying to put a condom on.

A few questions:

1: Exactly how long ago did this start?

2: Did it come on gradually or suddenly? Did it happen while in the middle of a workout? Or, did you complete your workout seemingly fine, and then later on, or the next day, notice the onset of your symptoms?

3: Since it started, has it changed at all (gotten worse or better)?

Answer the above questions and I will try my best to help you.

Sharpe pains and lost sensitivity sound like negative indicators, I think it would be a good idea to stop PE for a little while until these symptoms have stopped. It's most likely that your anxiousness is contributing to these things, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I can't pinpoint the exact time when this started, but here is the timeline (starting from 2 weeks ago):


Tuesday: JP90
Wednesday: JP90
Thursday: JP90
Friday:
Saturday: condom incident with girl A.
Sunday: masturbated with condom to test
Monday to friday: Doing tests by stimulating myself, but couldn't reach maximum erection, or if I do, i couldn't keep it there more than a couple of seconds. It feels like my penis is not listening to me. I also have a harder time getting erect looking at hot girls in the streets.
Saturday:
Sunday: I had this girl B (another girl) hand stimulated me, and I could get maximum erection, which last longer than when I stimulate myself. However, there was no sex and no condom involved so I can't conclude much?
Monday to today: Still have a hard time getting and keeping maximum erection by self stimulation.

1: Exactly how long ago did this start?
I think it all started during the condom incident (10 days ago). I was with this new girl, and I got performance/size anxious and when I wore the condom, I think my mind took over and I completely lost my erection. Since then, I couldn't get it up to maximum erection anymore.. and I don't know if it's my mind blocking, or it's also due to penis injury (because I do feel soreness, that needle feeling.. I feel like my penis is not responding.. feels numb or insensitive..). It could be a combination of both, coincidently happening at the same time.

2: Did it come on gradually or suddenly? Did it happen while in the middle of a workout? Or, did you complete your workout seemingly fine, and then later on, or the next day, notice the onset of your symptoms?
It seems suddenly. Not in the middle of workout. My workout seems fine (even tho I could feel the penis got worked out) then some days later i started to notice the onset of the symptoms.

3: Since it started, has it changed at all (gotten worse or better)?
It hasn't changed much I would say.

Thanks!

OK.

I honestly do not think it is psychological. However, if you are questioning whether or not it might be psychological, it may only be a MINOR physical injury.

When I noticed my injury 3 and 1/2 years ago, the reduction in my erectile quality was drastic enough that physical damage was the only explanation.

***It is important to note that, when my injury happened, I noticed nothing wrong during the jelqing session. It wasn't until the next night that I noticed something was very wrong. Others have also reported similar onset (everything seemed OK at conclusion of exercise).

The erectile dysfunction:

You lost the erection after putting the condom on, which reveals that you were able to get it up in the first place and at least keep it up for a little while. I think it is a minor physical injury- minor enough that you are able to think that maybe it is in your head.

Years ago, it was believed that the majority of erectile dysfunction cases were psychological- today, we now know that 90% percent are physical.

The numbness/sharp needle:

It sounds like you have a reduction in sensitivity. Clearly, you are not 100% numb, but, when you abruptly lose some sensitivity, it is a shock to your system because you have been used to having a certain degree of sensitivity all of your life. Therefore, at first, a slight loss can feel worse than it really is.

The fact that you feel a sharp needling pain supports the idea that you have a physical reduction in sensitivity. Both loss of feeling and needling pain deal with nerve damage. Pain MAY be a good sign in this case, because sometimes it is painful when nerves are regenerating.

My advice:

If there is a physical injury, which I am almost certain that there is, trying to stimulate yourself is very unlikely to help. I would just leave it completely alone for 2 weeks. Many people will tell you not to worry, that it is in your head, that it will definitely get better, etc. etc. I doubt any of these people have ever experienced a truly serious injury.

That being said, it may get better. I have read reports where people with PE injuries have completely recovered. The lack of sensation is hit or miss- some people recover completely, some partially, some not at all- it seems to depend largely on the individual.

I know that it is hard to simply leave it alone when you don't know if it is going to show any improvement, but I honestly don't think you have anything to lose by leaving it alone. One user, Nutz659, wrote in a post that a urologist who had heard of jelqing told him that, in the event of an injury, DO NOTHING FOR 8 WEEKS, don't even get an erection, or it may become permanent. Is this true? Unfortunately, we don't know, because I don't think anyone with an injury has avoided getting an erection for 8 weeks immediately afterwards.

Keep me posted and feel free to ask if you have anymore questions.

The reason i think it could be psychological is because this happened to be before, 2 years ago before i knew about PE. Wore condom, got stressed, lost erection. Since then, i gained my confidence back and was able to fully erect without problem.. until this time.

The difference with this time is i'm doing PE and my penis feels sore/overworked.

Today i don't feel the needling pain that much anymore. I can get hard and stay hard if a girl stimulates me. By myself, it's still difficult. When I get it up, after i start thinking "gota stay up" i start losing it (erection).

I still can't mind control my penis yet.

 

[johnproctor]

Whatever the cause, I hope you make a full recovery. The safest course of action is to minimize, or completely eliminate, all sexual activity (including masturbation) for the next few weeks.

Based on your posts, it sounds like you have had a fulfilling sex life before discovering PE. There are some people who had great, fulfilling lives that were turned upside down by permanent injury- when they didn't even really need to do PE in the first place.

 

[digidong]

When we have nerve damage is it still possible to go from flaccid to full erect in 1 seconds (when getting stimulation)?

Or that is not possible when having nerve damage.

 

[johnproctor]

It would depend on which nerves were damaged and to what extent.

digidong, I do believe there is a good chance your problems are both psychological and physical. For starters, you're a member of a penis enlargement site. Thus, your curiosity about PE in addition to what you've already stated in your posts would indicate you have some form of a penis complex going on. I mean if you were confident about your penis and its size, you wouldn't take time out of each day to tug away at your penis like a little kid does when he first discovers his dick.

I think a good point you brought up was when you mentioned that you had to keep telling yourself, or your dick, to maintain its erection. Your anxiety actually exacerbates the issue because by being overly concerned, you're mind isn't focusing on what gets you an erection in the first place which is sex. If you are focused on the fact that you're about to have sex with a hot chick, your erections should keep pace with your mind. However, if your mind is focused on your dick not working or not being big enough, then your mind isn't stimulating your dick to maintain its erection.

I remember reading about this one guy, who when he first started PE, was so turned on by the fact his dick was going to be big and that every chick would be overwhelmed by his size. However, this feeling of being "big" became his one source of what turned him on or got him hard. Therefore, when he finally went to have sex and his dick slid in like a hot dog being thrown down an hallway, his mind could no longer stimulate or maintain what gave him his erections because he felt small again.

What people don't realize, and I can speak from experience, is that when you reach a certain size that would be considered "big", the fact that you are like King Kong in bed and can overwhelm the girl with the size of your dick alone becomes a major turn on. It's almost like ecstasy for your dick. The feeling that you're "alpha" is a major turn on by itself. Contrarily, when you feel you've underwhelmed a chick with your size, it takes a shot at your manhood and makes it harder to perform in bed.

I would listen to john proctor and rest for a while. Once you've done that, try to have sex again. But don't start PE till you can have sex without worrying about your size or your performance. PEgym is a place you should come to when you're bored and just want to make your dick bigger. It should not be a place to come to fix mental issues you haven't taken care of yourself already. The problem is PE doesn't work for everybody and if it doesn't work for you, your penis complex will be that much worse. Just go and read some of Wantabiggerpenis's posts and you'll see what I mean.

Hey guys, thanks for the information, tips and support.

I'll try to at least get mentally back to normal Then we'll see how much the issue is physical.

I found this thing: herballoveshop.com :Kanabo Nerve Fix - Nerve Rejuvenation Support, 60 tabs, (Proactive Natural)

Is it any help?

 

[johnproctor]

Most people think that products such as those are scams.

Based on the ingredients, it should help in getting erections and possibly raise your sex drive, but you could theoretically get very similar ingredients through a multi vitamin and a different herbal formula for cheaper.

That being said, you never know. I haven't tried that product so I can't say for sure.

Hi John,

Do you have more info on "pain could mean nerves regenerating"?

 

[johnproctor]

A number of anecdotal reports indicated that there could be pain when nerves are regenerating. There might also be a tingling, burning, or itching sensation. Keep in mind that this is just based on anecdotal evidence.

In some cases, it seemed like tingling could actually be a sign that nerves were degenerating.

In the end of the day, all that really matters if you have numbness is that you give your body the best chance it has at regeneration. There are a number of vitamins and supplements that are supposed to help, but based on everything I've read the degree to which they regenerate seems to depend mainly on the individual.
