No Blood Flow
Posted: 12-13-07 08:38am

basically, for as long as i can remember, my penis has been pretty small. its just about 5" when its erect, but like a couple of centimetres long when its not. I know it sounds weird, but it like quadruples in size and doubles in girth at least when i get an erection. anyways, i think when im in a flacid state, theres no blood flow into my penis -- in fact alot of the time i cant even feel it there. I think its because the blood flow to my penis is being hindered by my really underdeveloped PC muscle.

When i get an erection, which by the way can only happen through masturbation, or sexual thoughts -- i cant just get it up. everythings good when i do get it up but its not as hard as i would want it to be. but if i flex my pc muscle it hardens -- its just difficult for me to hold that hardened state. could this be a slight case of ED? or is my PC muscle still to blame..

I did some research online about PC muscle exercises, so i believe that since i have an under developed PC muscle its the reason why i have no blood flow to my flacid penis and why i cant keep it harder. If this makes any sense to anyone please let me know lol.

also, im a circumsized guy. my foreskin isnt totally separated from my knob, its still connected to the skin on my shaft. I beleive its because i have limited blood flow to my penis for it to grow healthily and normally.

I had sex once, when i was 17. It was unprotected because she said she took birth control. I trusted her so i really dont think that its an STD issue. Plus, im turning 19 in less then 3 months so unless it stuck around and laid dormant inside of me...

could my problem just be situated around my PC muscle? or is also a low sex drive issue that theres no blood flow into my penis when its flacid? or is it even a case of ED? maybe i should see a urologist or something..

I can relate to the lack of feeling while unerect, I ain't a big fellow either. Nothing I say should ever be taken seriously, but I would have to agree that it is probably an underdeveloped PC muscle issue and not an ED. If you have to flex to keep erect, you may want to try kegel exercises, which I'm sure you're aware of. As far as not being able to get an erection by means other than masturbation and sexual thoughts, that I know is completely normal. I was doing some reading and one source said an erection is only achieved through sensory or mental stimulation, which is exactly what you described!

hey jacob,

thanks for the reply, makes me feel a little more at ease. but there was another problem i neglected to mention.

ive noticed that whenever i wake up in the morning, ive got the lowest set of balls and my shaft is full of blood and dangly. However, in about 3 minutes after i wake up and walk around, wash my face, eat breakfast kind of thing... my penis and balls are in a tightened, much smaller state then when i first awoke. it feels like they're being constricted -- i figure its a lack of blood flow. Sometimes though my balls randomly drop lower like when im sitting down in class, but when i goto walk around they slowly but surely move upwards, resulting in a scrotum with no visible balls at all.

so i did some research on this. I came across a physical disorder called the Venous Leak. Basically its when the valves can't keep the blood that has circulated into your groin area; the blood leaks out and im left with a shrivelled up sack and a penis no bigger then my thumb. It looks like im 4 all over agian but covered in hair.

I smoke pot daily when i can, but i dont smoke cigarettes... could this be a factor?

so im not really sure if i should be worried about this. im fully functional when it comes to ejaculation and keeping it hard until i do but the size of my penis and balls before im sexually stimulated is beginning to make me depressed lol. anyone have any idea what this is?

Well, first of all, if by shaft full of blood you mean erection, then you might have a case of "morning wood". All jokes aside it sounds normal to me. The case of droopy testicles is probably just your scrotum doing what it does naturally. The scrotum is "climate controlled", it has to protect the sperm within your testes. The sperm has to stay at a certain temperature, so when you are somewhere warm, perhaps under blankets, your scrotum loosens to cool down the testes. When you get up and move around on a chilly morning, the scrotum will tighten up to conserve its heat. As with just sitting, then walking, perhaps your little guys are warm while sitting and cool while walking because of increased air flow.

If it is painful when your scrotum tightens then I would ask a doctor about it.

As far as I know, smoking marijhauna for prolonged periods of time then it is likely to have negative effects on sexual stimulation, so you may want to watch that.

well its not painful when they tighten, but it feels a little uncomfortable -- id prefer if they didnt constantly fluctuate like that though. lol the morning wood thing happens, but its not erect, it just really chubby because of the amount of blood. then it all quickly dissapears in seconds; i can look at it and watch 'em shrink upwards and my penis lose blood.

i get what you mean with the temperature -- so this is normal? i mean does it happen to males frequently? only when its warm or when im done ejaculating do they come out to play; the majority of the day they're shrunk

Seems normal to me, an organ that hangs off of your body should'nt always prove to be the most comfortable.

I am just offering my opinion, but you might want to wait for someone with better info. For now I would relax, and if your concerns are very serious go see a doctor.

I just don't want to be responsible for spreading false information!

I have been having similar symptoms so you are definitely not alone. When erect my penis is of normal size and I am quite happy with it. I am bothered by my flaccid length though which almost seems less than half of that. Similarly it seems that there appears to be a lack of blood in my penis for what reason I do not know. I do smoke cigarettes and am sexually active(more of mutually sexually active...yeah its sad). The size of my flaccid length does fluctuate on a very consistent basis. I'm about to look and see if I can find out anything more and will post anything I do here if it is relevant.

Edit: I have continues looking into what the cause of this phenomenon may be and have remembered i have left out one more problem i have. I have a sort of bending in my penis which also fluctuates to where sometimes I have it and sometimes I do not. A possible diagnoses for this is Peyronie's Disease which may be the result of such bending. And this is when I get really frank with ya for your own good and please forgive me for my bluntness. I believe the cause of mine own problem may be from masturbation and doing so without proper care for the tender tissues of the penis(A.K.A. really beating the monkey). Do the area and shape of the bend I believe this to be a good possibility. If so then I only see two options this route which include either:
A. Stop doing what I'm doing and see if correction is possible naturally(Current status)
or B. See a doctor and have their input.

Hi, distortion.

It is normal for your scrotum to shrink when you stand up. When you're sleeping, you're warm. The muscles in your scrotum relax to get your testicles away from your body. They have to be kept at a certain temperature (just a bit cooler than body temperature) to be healthy. When you get up, it's cooler, so it shrinks.

Secondly, the musles in your scrotum are closely connected to your abdominal muscles. When your abdominal muscles are flexed, as they are when you're walking, your scrotum will tighten. I'm sure the amount the scrotum tightens is different for many people.

As for the 'chubby' penis you're experiencing. It could just be a 'half erection'. Meaning you have blood in your penis when you wake up.. just not enough to cause a full-out erection. That is normal.

If you feel any discomfort, pain, or are unable to maintain an erection for long enough a time to get either yourself or your partner off, then there's a problem and you should see a doctor.
