Thank you for the help everybody. After about a week off and some strategic EQ maintenance (kegels focusing on the top of the base, ie the IC muscle), relaxing of my grip for masturbation, and liberal application of EVOO and at least one edging session, combined with about a week off from most everything in total, I’m now able to get nigh on 100% again from just physical stimulation. I noticed that when I flex the IC muscle during erection, it actually gets longer and harder. This will be my focus for now, but I am confident again. One day I may resume PE and start with the newbie routine.
I do think it is work noting the amount that I got out of this kind of kegeling. It is almost like trying to have a bowel movement out of your penis at first, and from there I learned to contract the muscle independent of the local musculature in the breathing. I don’t have much sex, I’m autistic and hard to deal with personally and I don’t have much contact with people outside of close friends and work, so when I ejaculate it’s usually just rubbing one out as fast as I can to go about my day. I’ve learned to take care in the process and mind the equipment. And be patient.
