I Tanked My EQ

I’m sorry if this isn’t the appropriate forum, but I am new and this is why I registered.

I have lurked for a while, and I have tried different things on and off. I usually do random stretches and jelqs throughout the day. I’m 25.

A combination of things, recently, has made my EQ go to shit. First of all, I’m a heavy smoker. I am doing my best with this to stop now, but it has to be related. This has had a moderate affect on me for a few years now. It usually didn’t hurt me too bad down there, but there were a few times I lost my chub with my ex girlfriend in March.

A couple months ago, I thought I had enough experience to start clamping. So I did. I bought the cable clamp and had a few successful sessions, until I started being unable to stay erect enough for it. So I started using rubber bands with a toilet paper wrap.. I did it stupidly, sometimes for over an hour at a time and to the point of pretty severe numbness. I thought it was just a convenient solution.

Well now, I can’t achieve 100% erection. I also can’t maintain even an 80% if I’m jerking off without porn.

Recently, I have also been doing a strength program in the gym 3 times a week. I’ve gained 30 pounds of mostly muscle since June. I don’t know if this is related but I just thought I’d give information.

I completely laid off my dick for the past two or three days, and today I woke up with a bit more persistent of a morning wood. Probably a good 80-85%. I bought a pump as well, because I heard it could help with things like this. I’ve also started taking aspirin, cayenne, ginger root, and yohimbe as suggested elsewhere on this board.

What I am asking is, what is the best thing for me to do to return to 100% EQ, assuming I don’t have a problem I should address with a doctor. I have a check up coming up and I intend to mention it, but I might as well do everything I can in the meantime. Is it alright to do light pumping? I am thinking 2-3 5 minute sessions per day to simulate that morning wood effect. Any jelqing would be very light. I want to avoid too much inward pressure, because I think the rubber bands are closely related to the loss of EQ and I want to let the nerves heal.

Any suggestions, or anyone have a good idea based on what’s going on?

Don’t do anything related to PE for 2 weeks. And forget about clamping, especially as a newbie. We have a newbie routine for a reason and that is to slowly condition guys to PE so they don’t get hurt and then they can move on to more advanced stuff, but never do anything in excess the way you started out.

Like gprent says don’t do anything for 2 weeks. If you clamped for an hour that is way too much . I think experienced members that have been doing PE for years only do it for 10 minutes . If you clamped for an hour as a newbie that’s probably why your EQ is down. I would stay away from PE probably more than 2 weeks or until your EQ starts becoming more normal. Then I would start kegals only. Then after kegals stick with the newbie routine.

NO PUMPS either

So don’t even touch it.. Have you seen this happen before? Is this something you’ve seen people recover from more often than not?

After two weeks, what about pumping conservatively? At this point I’m unconcerned with gains, I really just want hard boners again. I appreciate the rapid responses. I definitely have no desire to clamp or anything like it anymore. I’ve measured myself at 7” in the not too distant past and with my EQ recently I am coming in at 6.5”. The gains from that (started at 6.2” way back when) we’re from just jelqs and stretches.

I’m not as experienced with PE as others . I was also a lurker for a while way back then. I never clamped but I noticed that pumping was making my unit floppy. Looked big and hard in the tube but after wards my EQ wasn’t that great . I was pumping and stretching. I never conditioned my unit like they recommend . I’m not a dr or that experienced but I would just stop everything. Mention it to your doctor . See what he says since your going for a checkup anyways .

Just stop everything for now. Let what ever you did heal. Start with kegals only to get fresh blood in there to help heal.

I’ve certainly over done clamping before. I doubt I went for an hour, but it was long enough to experience some numbness that lasted for a few hours. The only recommendation I can give is to leave it alone as far as stressful things (jelq, stretch, pump, any PE stuff) until it clears up and everything is working as you expect for at least a week. Then, you can ease into whatever you want to do as long as you’re avoiding all of the negative effects you are seeing now.

Well it wasn’t the clamping I did for an hour, I had tightly strangled my dick with a rubber band and let it get engorged. It got very purple and numb a few times, sometimes a sharp pain around the base when I took it off. I just used a thin layer of toilet paper to wrap it. I did this maybe 20 times over the course of a month. I think it took me longer to notice than would normally because I’ve been masturbating less frequently.

I thought I was invincible. I’m getting nerve nudges around the base again, hopefully that’s the healing. Would EVO help with this? Is there anything I can do actively to help speed it up, besides not touching it? I’m feeling more blood go into it, even got a tiny chub as a reaction to mental stimulus. Feels more flush now and I can better feel the head against my shorts.

I’ll take a moment now to thank all the sustaining and active members here who help out people like me, it’s amazing how so many guys are willing to help other guys with stuff like this. I’ve always been amazed by the community of this forum.

You should actively leave it alone. Smack yourself if you try to do any PE before it’s back to normal.

Leaving it alone for a while. Then easing some kegals. Healthy exercise and eat a good diet . Lots of fruits and veggies.

Starting eating broccoli and blackberries again. And Greek yogurt. Would I be wasting the EVO?

Yeah, just rest it will be OK, it’s just like you overtrain your dick ! Take some rest, and forgot everything about PE for 2-3 weeks.

Drink a lot of water before going to the bed help with morning wood.

Does the water help because you get hard so you don’t pee?

I think that’s more myth than reality. Morning wood isn’t caused by your need to pee. I suggest drinking plenty of water during the day and not so much before bed.

When my EQ is bad I find that warm wraps and edging for 20-30 minutes help kick it back into shape. It has helped me a lot in the past. Especially on my new stretch heavy routine.

I’m getting a lot of responsiveness back to physical stimulation, and 10-30% semis from non pornographic mental stimulation frequently. I am feeling a lot better.

Ill try the warm wraps. I don’t know if edging is possible or effective for me right now - I’d either have to look at porn or beat at a 60-70% erection to get close. Getting better though.
