Oh and now for some reason my max hard-on has shrunk it used to be close to 8 inches, 8 inches on the best day,and now its close to 6....what gives? is this shrink temporary...permanent?!

That is certainly strange. Are you sure about this? You can't just lose 2" of penis size!

My erect length varies too, like it does for many, but 2" is way too extreme!

I'm also in a similar situation although not as extreme. My dick when erect used to measure to almost 8.6. Now I am having trouble reaching a full erection, and it measures more like 7.7 inches. Although the size is still pretty good, the problem is when I try to have sex. Trying to have great sex without a completely hard penis is tricky. I find my self sometimes rushing foreplay because of fear of losing the semi erection i even have, and penetration while not completely hard isn't as enjoyable for both parties'.

I have had bloodwork done and everything seems to be normal. the problem was I screwed around with drugs for about 6 years. mainly just marijuana but i smoked almost every day. I unfortunately had a yr where I did some of cocaine and ecstasy. the thing i don't understand is i never felt the negative effects on my erection quality until a couple years after my drug use. I still drink alcohol heavily about twice a week(but so do a lot of people).

I've tried many herbs, but with minimal positive effect. I've tried viagra about ten times and it works about half the time. I want to cure my problem without the use of viagra. Other then that, Im young, healthy, athletic.

I've never touched drugs, and i rarely drink, maybe once every 2 months...

Hey Tex,

Though stress is definitely playing a role, the more you are describing the more this sounds medical to me.

When I talked to the Boston Med MD, this was explained to me: The reduced size is an effect of reduced blood volume and erectile pressure. I had experienced the same thing and had not realized how much size I had lost until I received proper treatment. I was really floored on this issue. After the shots in the beginning my penis was very sore. Over time I regained size and I think a little extra to boot.

I can certainly understand the problems you are having at home and sympathize with your plight. A dead economy and being young without a ton of great paying jobs that would allow you to be on your own certainly do not help the situation either.

Best of luck. . . .

Is it the same ruler, same method of measurement, etc.? I have looked at your pics, and it doesn't look like a 8". Either way, I am not sure it's possible to lose 2" just like that...

I didn't read all the posts so maybe I'm repeating something. I read that too much jelching or incorrect jelching can cause erectile dysfunction. Don't know how true this is, but worth mentioning.

only thing that I can think of is if you smoke, stop. And have you put on any weight? Dude when I start getting less easily hardened, it usually means that my body is getting soft. If I lift weights regularly for several weeks, my penis wakes up along with the rest of my muscles. Could be it, could be waaayyy off. Just a thought. You didn't get circumcised at a late age did you? Because I did, and my erections were never the same afterward. Its not THAT big a deal, but I did have it looked at once, and they said that maybe something got tied up that wasn't supposed to be tied up during the operation.

I have never personally smoked anything in my life..but I'm the only person out of my friends and family that doesn't, they're practically chain smokers..would that matter? I'm a physically active person, I walk a lot do tons of pull-up and sit ups and a lot of wii fitness games (LOL) I actually think I've lost some weight this summer...and no way have i recently been circumcised, i was circumcised at birth and have been trying to actually restore mine!

This is an obscure question, but I feel it's partly responsible for my erectile difficulties. I'm young and had normal level testosterone, but I still wanted to get stronger and increase my testosterone so I took a supplement called tongkat ali. Now I have taken tongkat ali before but never at such a high dose and potencey. i took about a gram to 2 grams a day of a 50:1 extract.

As for my testosterone level it went through the roof which was verified by blood tests from before and after it's use. The only problem is it left me in a state for awhile where I couldn't even get a boner, not even when I woke up. Now tongkat ali claims to help with erectile difficulties, and I believe it does at low doses, but not at the dose I was taking.

I feel like with the huge increase in testosterone it hurt my prostate in a way and made it difficult for me to get hard. Anyways after a couple weeks of not taking it, i started to get erections again, but my erections have never been quite as full and hard.

Ive actually thought about taking Tongkat Ali myself, but that was before my current issues, To get more muscle mass but now Ima wait till I'm back to normal...if that ever happens...

I think you could do a couple things you could start working out and get your body making more testasterone, lift weights especially legs. You could do PE evercises and you could take supplements lke tribulus, ZMA and E
Do those things and you will be like steel

try to not jack off for a week.

I have sort of the same thing but I get plenty of erections again when I don't jack off for a while.

good luck

Here's my advice, go see a urologist that actually knows what they're talking about. No one here can say definitively what's wrong with you (Unless of course there happen to be some urologists lurking around here), but a good urologist should be able to.

If you see a urologist they're either gonna tell u that everything seems fine because they don't know that you used to be 8 inches, or they're gonna prescribe you viagra.

And yes I've also found that not jacking off helps with erections. Sex doesn't seem to hinder my erections but jerking off does make it so I can't get hard again for awhile.

Try taking some zinc and maca
