First bad EQ/ED - need advice!

I’ve recently had my first encounters with ED and poor EQ ever in my life, please help!

I’m on my 4th or 5th month of doing PE in earnest, my routine is generally a more intense version of the newbie routine and almost always looks something like this:
-warm up (rice sock) 5 minutes
-manual stretches with theraband for grip - 5 -10 minutes total
-sometimes a pretty intense session of ‘a stretches’ for 5 minutes total
-alternating jelqing and hand clamping/squeezing - 15 to 20 minutes total
-warm down (another round of heating) 5 minutes

Then throughout the day I’ll sometimes do fowfers or silicon sleeve anti-turtle ADS device.
Thats it really, one session only, total of 30 to 45 minutes, not too intense.

Usually its 3 or 4 days on, one or two days off, depending on how things are feeling.

Early on I had fantastic EQ and great PI and great gains in both length and girth.
I haven’t seemed to hit a plateau and recently I even hit new lengths in flaccid stretch length (7.5”)!

SO, in recent weeks its been harder to keep it up during my sessions, and in the past week I’ve had two separate sessions with the wife where I simply could not get it up. That has never happened to me before and its very disturbing.

I haven’t increased intensity really, though I have been putting more emphasis on hand clamping lately. My girth and flaccid hang has definitely improved lately as a result, but who cares if it doesn’t get up!

Any advice?
Rest a week?
What have I done wrong or different?!

One more detail, in the past 2 weeks I added some supplements that seemed to have a great impact on flaccid hang and plumpness:
-lecithin (1200 mg/day)
-korean red ginseng (400mg/day)
-ginkgo biloba (standardized - 60 mg/day)

None of those seem excessive or wacky at all…
Could this be contributing?

I’m going to drop this for a week or so as well and see what happens.

Sounds to me like it’s more likely an outside factor, such as life/work stress, change of diet, increase in gym workouts, lack of sleep, excess alcohol, side effects from meds, etc. or a combo of more than one of the preceding.

Firegoat, you just described my entire life!
;)

Actually, though I have been working out a lot lately, its nothing excessive. I’ll have to think about some of the subtleties in my life, but for the most part everything is peachy and on an upswing, and not too stressful, etc.
I’m thinking its gotta be a reaction to the increased intensity of manual stretches or hand clamping, thought that seems a bit ridiculous.

Is it going to impact my progress to take a week off and come back at a gentler level?

It’s good to take a few days off once in a while and get fully recovered. If you have been over-training, you may even notice some extra size by the end of the week. Just chill and enjoy doing something else for a week, and don’t think about PE, but do make sure you get back to it after a week or so. It’s easy to get lazy.

Fantastic! Thanks for the advice and reassurance.
Fingers crossed on the extra size! :)

Just wanted to update everyone. It was definitely from over training.
Thanks for the cards, letters, and flowers. ;)

Seriously though, 2 days rest and I was ready to get back in action, with a return of strong morning wood. Got back to a very light routine on day 4, felt good. I didn’t get the opportunity to get back with the wife until this morning (day 5 after the first post) and it was fantastic. Rock solid and more thick and long and solid looking than it has ever been. Took her on the bathroom sink!! :)

Firegoat was right on about the improvements from resting - both flaccid and erect feels (and looks!) much improved just from resting.
I’m gonna dial back my routine a little bit and work in more rest days, I think its important for overall health and probably for better gains if it has a chance to heal up more often.

Thanks for the update boon. Agree with all of the above (why wouldn’t I) but flip side - don’t get lazy. It’s easy to do. Consistency is still the biggest essential (along with heat) :)

Yeah, I`ve been suffering some anxiety related ED and loss of morning wood, but I think it has to do with the fact that I`m getting married on wednesday and my girl and I joke that it`s all part of getting cold feet.

I do need a rest though, and we are going to have a house full of her family tommorow night…for a week.

Her family. Yeah that explains it ;)

Dude, get rest. Chill. Be ever so cool and be happy that you are drawing together the threads of your life.

You will look back with greater joy than you have now. I look back and I would have loved to be where you are now, 15 years ago.
Yeah I know it cuts both ways, but 100% I wish you the best day of your life, and all the best for a lifetime of happiness. I sing at wedding often and I see the bride and grooms faces, as they take their vows - everyone else sees the back of their heads.
Love her completely. Can I repeat that…. Love her as you love yourself.
