I’ve experienced over the past week a decrease in the firmness of my erections when engaging in intercourse. I’ve had three quality sessions with my Helix Syn during this time span and I wondered if this was a) normal and b) something others have experienced?
I’ve noticed better than ever erections during my use
lots of tho ha could be the culprit. Are you stressed? Sick? Tired? Are you ejaculating too much recently? So many variables
Quite a bit of stress, however my sessions have been helping with that. I just ordered a Progasm Ice so we’ll see if that helps even more. 🙂
That Ice is beautiful. Enjoy. But maybe that stress is making you soft.
I understand that stress and depression are the likely candidates, however I’ve read of experiences where they get raging erections during their sessions and I have yet to have that happen. I understand that everyone’s experience is different, but the only penile stimulation I get is at base of the shaft as my p-orgasm builds.
Give it time buddy
your sessions will give you different results as you progress. I wouldn’t worry too much
i know a thing or 2 about depression so message me if you need to talk
Over a long time period, I've not noticed an improvement of my erections with aneros use.
I have noticed however that my frequent use of porn has made my erections much much much worse (soft). Not sure if you are viewing porn, but maybe something to look at cutting out.
No. Actually it’s too distracting. I’ve experimented with some audio and found that to be ok. This started out as a way to help sperm production post-vasectomy reversal. The sensations are amazing and who knew a man could have an orgasm without penis stimulation?! Maybe it’s good that EVERYONE doesn’t know because the Aneros line would be priced like gold!
While ignoring the penis is often good for learning the techniques of prostate orgasms, getting nice hard erections is kind of a use it or lose it thing. But even if lost to an extent, it can be brought back - assuming no serious under riding issues. So if a good erection is important [guys who have intercourse as part of their sex life] then make sure you engage in some solo play that encourages you to get hard and stay hard for a while. You don't have to cum. I agree with wolf - porn can encourage a man to get his jollies without an erection - so in the event you are a porn user, either cut it out or scale it down to erotica.
@wetdream63 I'm doing #NoFap Hardmode... so no porn, no masturbation, and no orgasm. 17 days so far of no porn, 22 days so far of no orgasm. I have used aneros a couple of times since then. Not noticed any improvements, however this morning I was fantasising in bed, and how i was playing with someone's nipples... and just the thought of that seemed to make some weird feeling down below like in the prostate. It was strange.
I'm learning that porn has a bad addiction effect with dopamine. I think aneros use should help with the physical aspects of an erection, but I'm not sure it would help with the brain's dopamine addiction/reward with regards to porn. i.e. I can only get hard if i watch porn, even though physically there's nothing wrong with me (recently had morning wood for the first time in decades). I'm also wondering if audio porn (like kinkyshibby on reddit) is also having the same effect as porn.
The issue at hand (no pun intended) with me is that I’m trying to have a baby with my wife and quality of my sperm is paramount. I have to ejaculate no later than 4-5 days without intercourse in order to keep dead sperm out of my ejaculate. We are supposed to have sex every 2-3 days but obviously we know that can’t always happen. I have thought about the “fast” as well, but the fertility specialist advised against it.
