The thing is... many people (myself included) just don't hurt themselves. Take it easy and you'll probably not ever get hurt. Most I ever did was have some soreness... gone after a day off.
Maybe you should just try it and see if it works.

If you sprain a muslce or something you give it heat and time. Do the same for your dick, brother.
If you pulled a hammy would you go out for a jog? Probably not.
If you pulled your dick to hard should you go in for a jack. Proabably not.
:D
Hope that makes some sense.

I'm just worried it already healed wrong. It happened in like 06. Do you still think it has a chance to heal? Is there anything I can take or do

very soft erection/flaccid like water balloon.

very soft erection/flaccid like water balloon.

so, i've gotten 1 or 2 responses to this problem since i 've been here, and i'm very sorry if i'm violating some forum rule (some of you seem very strict on that, guessing it's cause i'm selfishly taking up space with MY problem, when it's nothing special).
anyway, i'm 19 years old, and for the past 2 and a half months, maybe three, i've had a problem with chronic softness. hence, posting in this forum.

here's how it went- this has happened to me once, and kinda freaked me out, but i had an erection SO soft, it was completely floppy. (girlfriend called it "Grandpa penis"). first time it happened, it went away in about 4 days. back to normal. great. hard.
but around two-three months ago, i was a bit insane with low self-esteem, and jelqed twice a day, every day, for a week and a half. no rest days, i'm pretty sure i went past a limit...
at first, there were no visual symptoms, just a complete absence of arousal for another week, so i didn't notice it.
but after that, semen built up, as it does, and thankfully my body was able to make an erection again. or rather, another "psuedo-erection". soft and floppy, made of rubber. and i noticed something; the right and middle parts of my shaft had blue/purple spots. i stretched the skin a bit, and saw that there were very small broken veins within the spots. obviously something popped, but from what i've read, little veins like that are superficial for the most part. and on the left side, a nearly sky-blue vein started bulging out, resembling thrombosis, or varicose. (not a doctor)
softness remained, unchanging. but 2 weeks into the suspected damage, i watched my fav. porn, and somehow got a rock-hard erection. couldn't be bent easily.
then about a month later, the spots dissipated, but the enlarged vein remained...and so did the softness.

the softness is soul-draining.

so THEN i had an older buddy of mine buy me some novodex xt, having read somewhere about testosterone being involved in function of the penis, thinking it would repair it. took some of that for a few days, but stopped. figured why bother. plus, i later read about its negative sexual impacts, and i didn't want do dig my grave even deeper.

the main point of this is basically to get responses from people who have even the foggiest idea of what i should do. still with my girl, and want to keep it that way.
i will add that i am deep into Qigong (like tai chi, but better), and yoga meditation. i have ruled out psychological causes by now, i'm certain. this has allowed me to mature very quickly.
i still smoke cigarettes, but nothing else. though smoking kinda defeats the purpose, i am still a very healthy eater, and in great physical health (at least in terms of muscle, got a six-pack). i just, like i said, need some more positive reinforcement/direction than just one person. though they have been very helpful, (thanks NP)
still, i have yet to go more than 3 days without masturbating...this is my third day. goin strong. still no improvement.
what i REALLY want, is for someone to say they've had this exact problem, for this long, and recovered.
it is my personal belief that the body can recover from anything. so let's hear a story!
:D i'm hopeful and positive, and nowhere near suicidal about this.

Oh ... just around ...
Never experienced the issue but would like to offer some tips and ask a few questions:

Use a light grip when jelqing. You noticed spotting that is indicative of some sort of rupture. Always take it easy when you see that.
You mentioned laying off the masturbation - that's a good thing for now. When you do masturbate, do you handle yourself roughly? Some guys can't sustain really prolonged, hard erections with women since they are use to a certain type of sensation that comes from their grip during masturbation. Again, ease up on the grip.

Bottom line - have you gone to see a doctor?

no doctor. no insurance right now.
i'm in a fairly "bad" situation in life at this point.
ED being the dogshit icing on the cake.
but i think of it like Job's being tested, or something.
no matter what, i have a positive attitude.
the problem remains when i'm with my girl, and when i do masturbate, the grip is ever-so-gentle.

I think people are to quick to diagnose themselves with venous leak. Do you ever get full erections?

I agree some are sure but I think some of us are genuine cases. I swear my erection is slowly getting weaker in recent weeks I haven't even been able to get a proper erection now it's 60 - 70% erect at best. It's weak and when I get any sort of erection it dies fast like litterally in seconds my ED seems quite severe compared to a few years ago. I am starting to think I have irreversable vein or tissue damage. I have had ideas seeing a Psychiatrist to cope with this. I think I am screwed but Giantsrule let me know if you improve or find anything that helps your condition. I would appreciate it if you could reply or update me (us) because remember I am in the same boat as you are.

And you haven't gone back and gotten a conclusive diagnosis from an ED specialist for what reason???

Hi flex I know what you're saying. I have seen a few doctors and they always say the samething "it's all in your head", "having soft glands when erect is normal" etc. I did get some tests done, blood work, testosterone which all came up normal apparently. I got to see an uroligist who was nice and understanding but again told me it's all in my mind, nerves etc and wanted some tests done but he refused to. The last time I tried to see the uroligist again my doctor wouldn't refer me to one. If they saw me try and get erect they would clearly see how poor my erection quality actually is. I swear even a couple of years ago when I still had ED it wasn't as bad as it is now. Although I am convinced my erection quality has slowly got worse over time. I do wake up with an erection but it's not full, the glands are soft I lose it as soon as I move or get out of bed, porn doesn't seem to get me hard at all anymore when it used to and even physically touching penis and masturbing gives me a weak erection which at best is 70%. My erection fails to hold blood as soon as I achieve any sort of erection I start to loose it like instantly.

I would like to know what others with the same condition with moderate to servere ED are doing to help with the issue, how they are coping with it.

Cheers

i can get an erection usually buts its never fully hard if it is it dies in seconds. i masterbate all the time to ejaculation but its never fully hard. its a pretty rough thing to look at. i have a problem. i havnt taken the cialis for a while when i did take it i would have nonstop semi hard erections. i think i should have stopped masterbating the first time i ran into problems in 06 but i didnt andnow im worried its too late and it will never heal

Have you tried viagra?

On some guys viagra works better than cialis (I'm one of them).

Have you ever had a doppler ultrasound performed with an injection to induce an erection and test for blood flow?

You should find that completely unacceptable. You need to find another urologist, and/or another doctor who will refer to you one. From what you say, this is a very serious issue for you and you simply CAN NOT resolve it on a Web forum. This won't help you, and it won't help anyone. Get a proper diagnosis with the right tests. Then the underlying problem, causes, and solutions will be very much worth discussing here!

People here give good advice and really try to help others out which is great. However there are those who sometimes frustrate me in that they keep saying the problem is "just in your head", "you don't have ED", "it's only your attitude that is the problem" etc. The chances are they have unlikely had ED or gone through having erectile problems themselves how would they know what it's like? It's easy for people to claim the problem is mental it seems the idea of a young man being impotent is somewhat taboo or unheard of.

Let's put it this way if a guy wakes up with an erection in the morning but loses it the moment he gets up how can that NOT be a physical sign of ED? I can only speak for myself here as someone with ED but I get decent erections and fairly often but the glands don't fill up well (which equals a less solid erection) and I can barely hold an erection for very long. I have had this issue for years now there is no doubt this is physical ED I mean it must be. I am a pretty confident person I had depression, mild depression when I was young and still got rock hard erections all the time. No matter how positive I am or my attitude is it doesn't change the fact I can't hold an erection without near (constant) physical stimulation and even then at times I can't manage to hold it.

I am not here though to complain and moan I accepted a long time ago I did a stupid thing and I doubt as optimistic as I am that my penis will be the same again, but I am not giving up I am trying some things.

What I am trying to get at is it's frustrating enough when doctors even your own parent/s don't take your problem seriously and then others insist we have no real problem, it's all "in our head". Let's be real here if a guy has had erection problems for years and often the chances are there is a physical cause. I had no trouble getting erections or holding them even when I was depressed but maybe that's just me. I am not saying the problem can't be mental but it's very unlikely to be the root cause.

Anyway I know this ED problems sucks but suicide is really not the answer.

Hey...I have the same exact problem as you described.My shaft gets hard but the penis glans is kind off soft.
That happend after i did some streching exercises in december 2010 for like 2 weeks.
This has now lasted for more then a month and I dont see any real improovement in this soft penis head condition.
What have you done and for how long to get into this situation??

i went about a week and a half without masterbating and it didnt get any better. i just cant keep a hard erection nomatter what i do i broke my penis somehow and i dont think ill never be normal again. i just picked up 5mg cialis and it costs 33 dollars for 8 pills and it just gives me a half ass erection i cant pay 33 dollars a week to have a little less shitty erection than i would without it. the dr. says its in my head and wont even do anything but give me a perscription.

i hate sex now the thought of it just pisses me off i know ill never live a normal life. im 24yo and i cant even have sex with a girl because my stupid already little dick wont stay hard. i hate my life more and more everyday. i realize theres nothing i can do but im not gonna live this shitty life to say i did it. i give up theres no point i dont even feel like getting out of bed anymore. i dont know if it was from doing pe a couple times and not letting my penis recover after inuring it somehow or what. but either way im damaged and its not gonna change. its been to long it cant heal now. i know its not in my head i can get a hard erection for a couple secs pretty much when i want it just wont stay hard and dies right away. something is physically wrong and of course theres no cure. someone can have a serious penis accident and be ok but i do a couple exercises in 06 and im damaged goods.

My advice is the same as I gave to UKGuy ... it is completely unacceptable that a Dr. would just say "it's in your head" when they have diagnostic methods available that apparently no one used on you. That's complete BS and it's your responsibility to find a Dr. who will do the right thing. If it were my unit I'd be on the phone calling another ED specialist ASAP... complaining about it here without doing that FIRST won't get you anywhere.

Hey giantsrule. I can sympathize man, going through moderate ED and depression has brought me to PEgym just this week. I'm 23 now and since first sex at 16 I realized I had some ED issues because I've had trouble with penetration at times and ALWAYS with keeping it hard (never had good EQ and thus never good sex). I haven't had a stiffy in the AM for 7 years. I tried jelqing (WAY TOO HARD and never warming up) for a few months around age of 15, thought maybe that was the cause. Urologist told me you're a young healthy guy its all in my head, you'll get over it if you just take these blue pills.

Pills helped my erections a little bit, but not my self-esteem. It got to the point that I would shy away from girls and refuse sex. I think it even affected my friendships with men. Any time sex was brought up I'd get uncomfortable, think about my half-hard (on a good day) dick and see men (even my friends!) as an enemy I could no longer compete with. And the resulting depression has made me reclusive, spending more and more time by myself. Someone who has not had ED as a young man may think it sounds ridiculous, but they cannot comprehend the psychological damage it wreaks. The penis is very central to my self-image. When it doesn't work right I don't work right.

As tough as it is, have hope comrade. We're gonna to get through this together. I just started JP's 90 day 2 days ago and a shitload of Kegels 4 days ago. My boner still sucks, but I sh*t you not I think the head was a bit fuller today and felt a little stiffer at the base (harder to push down than normal). Not much, but I did not expect any difference this quickly. I'm going to give it at least 3 months. There is solid evidence that Kegels DO help with ED. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2005.05690.x/full In this study, "Pelvic floor exercises for erectile dysfunction," the participants all had ED to start. After 6 months, among the group that did kegels 40% regained normal erectile function, and 35.5% improved. The only exercise was kegels!!

I know its hard to be motivated when you're depressed (I've been there, have had suicidal ideation before. I stood on the edge of the highest bridge in Europe with half a mind to jump. Even then I could see nothing to live for, but in the back of my mind I knew it was the easy way out) I'm proud of myself for not being a pussy and ending it. It would have been selfish and wrecked my family.

There is hope. Do the kegels religiously, find a doctor who you click with and won't tell you its all in your head, and know others share your problem. We'll get through it my friend.

Sincerely,

A concerned fellow ED sufferer.
