Newbie Injury

Somebody posts this exact “injury” every couple months here. You just tried clamping too soon. It’s not permanent, and it will have zero effect on your EQ as you age.

Seriously, like several have said so far, stop thinking about it. Stop posting this thread.

You’re perpetuating it by continuing to analyze it. Take a few weeks off and re-start PE (if you still want to) with a slower progression.

If you play baseball, and you get hit by a pitch in the hand, and you can’t play for a week, do you blame yourself and start to make this thought loop of “I fucked myself up playing baseball, my hand will never be the same again, baseball is too dangerous to play, all future joint pain in my hand is the result of that one time I played baseball, it’s all my fault, why was I so foolish?”

No. You take a few weeks off, your hand heals, and you start playing again. Same thing here. Don’t overthink it.

I don’t mean to make light of your situation, because I’ve been there (with nerve damage from hanging). But the penile tissues are incredibly resilient, and in all likelihood, your dick has already fully recovered, from a physical standpoint of erectile potential. The rest is in your head.

I’m posting in this thread to help others who may go thru the same thing. I want to document it, and if it ends up temporary great. Others will be put to ease reading the recovery. Thank you for your input.

The pain is not just in my head. It’s very real; it’s painful. I can get erections, which is great but still pain EQ is poor and duration is less.

But it’s been 8 days, still pain. I feel best when the dick is left completely alone. EQ still down.

Yeah. I guess what I’m trying to say is that after reading dozens of threads like this, and spending years learning about penis anatomy and doing self experimentation - is that there’s nothing magical about the way the penis heals (or gets injured) compared to other tissues. This is basically the equivalent of a bruise, or a slightly aggravated nerve. It’s an injury that everybody has dealt with numerous times over their lifetime, just on a different part of their body. You can walk it off, so to speak, if you want to.

Nobody has mentioned technique or where your pain is, so one important caveat, avoid clamping behind the balls. The spermatic cords are a lot more fragile than the tissues of the shaft, which is about as tough as nails.

Thanks a ton for your input on the matter. Put me at ease.

How long does it usually take to get 100%? A couple months?

A pinched nerve can take a couple months. Anything else would be from a couple days to a couple weeks. I don’t think it’s a pinched nerve based on what you said (no numbness), but it could be.

It’s not a pinched nerve. I have full feeling.

There are some new “bands” that could be scar tissue. Erections are getting a little better, but still way less frequent and still pain.

Ok. Feeling a lot better today after soaking the unit in some hot water and putting heat pads for about 30 mins yesterday. Feeling pretty good.

Lost 1/16 of girth but still ahead of when I first started!

Glad to hear it.

Gains are often 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

I’ve noticed erections are harder to maintain standing up and may be position dependent, but at least it’s slightly improving!

Still have my appointment a whole month away. Getting a duplex doppler test. Hopefully that will shed light on anything!

Feeling much better. Had sex a few times with the GF last night and stayed (for the most part) hard. Not 100%, more like 85. I get 100% when edging which is great.

Still slight pain but looking much better! Did some light jelqs, had pain after so stopped and haven’t had any PE since.

Great news RedWilly!! I´m very much glad to hear it!

Thanks! Me too!

Took almost 2 weeks, but feeling much better.

I’m back to doing PE as of a couple days ago.

Uli’s and squeezes and stretches.

Positive and improved erection function and rock hard…. Back to saying “Take it deeper” =)

The only thing is I’ve still lost that 1/16 of girth…. still about 1/16 ahead from when I started PE.
