    I was curious to find out, if anybody else experienced or is experiencing what is called a hard flaccid penis. What I mean by hard flaccid is that. My penis is at normal length and girth while erect. However after ejaculating it shrinks in it's flaccid state. It shrinks to the point where it feels stiff and hard.

    Where as before it use to hang lower and soft, like a cushiony sponge. For example before my penis use to be soft and 4 inches in flaccid state, well now it's at 2.5 and hard, feels stiff. I did notice somewhat of an improvent, this last week. When I refrained for 3 days.

    I felt a little improvement, my penis felt softer and more relaxed. However I did relapse and go on a binge, and now I'm back to hard flaccid. In my opinion I think this happens due to vigorous masturbation. Where the body becomes exhausted, and the tissue kind of shrivles up.

    Maybe it's a way of the penis resting, or recovering. Since we are addicted PMOers we don't really give our penis a chance to recover. I also have another theory, since we PMO excessively, we deplete our bodies of sufficient amounts of testosterone.

    Which is essential for sex drive, testicular size, and most likely penis size. I also understand there are much more factors involving sex drive, and penis size, but testosterone has to be the number one vital hormone for theses functions to take place.

    Anyways I was just curious to see, if anyone has experienced this phenomena. Which is called hard flaccid penis. If anybody out there can please share their experience or give tips. I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot for reading guys.

    Yeah! Every morning! For at least two hours after my morning wood has subsided, my penis has a tendency to become 'hard flaccid' and a lose an inch at least and considerable girth too. My scrotum clamps up too, which I find uncomfortable. I've always had this, and it's not related to orgasm in my case. Not to get too in-depth here, but mine seems to be directly related to my morning bowel movements - like my tackle is trying to stay clear of last night's tea! I'm guessing different things can trigger this reflex action, and I really wouldn't trouble yourself over it.

    I have this also. I can achieve erections and everything with my girlfriend but when It goes down its kinda hard like a tube is inside. Very strange. Do you guys smoke or chew? I wonder if that might be the cause for me

    Yes I do smoke, do you? Maybe that might be the cause, restricted blood flow to the penis, I'm going to try to quit and see what happens.

    I do smoke and chew also. Are you able to have sex at all because of hard flaccid? I seem to be able to and was wondering if this condition can effect ones sex life. I sure hope not because I've had my bouts of ED also but it seems to not give me much problems anymore. I'm going to quit nicotine today also

    I don't smoke or chew. This hard flaccid thing doesn't affect erections at all for me. I think it's more normal than you think. Having said that, smoking is a huge factor in ED later in life, as the arteries get blocked up, preventing normal blood flow down there.

    In my case, and in most guys experiencing hard flaccid, there isn't really an ED issue. When I get an erection everything seems normal and fine, I can achieve an erection and maintain it. The only issue/problem I'm experiencing is when my penis is in flaccid state it shrivles up and shrinks into a hard flaccid state. Where as before after an erection or ejaculation the penis would go back to it's flaccid state, but would hang much lower, softer, and relaxed. I know and admit that smoking can contribute to it, but since I'm only 27 years old and have been smoking for 7 years I highly doubt this can be the cause or onset of hard flaccid penis. Maybe it can be an anxiety issue or a tight pelvic floor muscle which I've read many guys experiencing hard flaccid say.

    Right on. I doubt smoking could be the cause but im thinking quitting could help the symptoms ease up a bit. I believe it's a pelvic floor thing because I've noticed laying down and resting seems to get rid of it. Then when standing up and moving around it seems to get the hard flaccid thing

    Exactly, i have the same experience with laying down and sitting. It temporarily goes away, then comes back upon standing up. My best educated assumption based on my experience and other's stories, is that this is a pelvic muscle issue. I'm going to do a little more research, especially on stretching exercises and techniques on relaxing the muscle. I will update you on any news. If it's not too much to ask, can you please let me know anything you find out on this issue. Until then I guess we can keep relaxed and calm, until we can hopefully figure this out. Thanks a lot and will write back soon.

    That's awesome! Yeah I will continue looking into it. I noticed it started to happen when I first had a panic attack and then I had severe anxiety and panic attacks for 5 months straight until I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Zoloft. I'm off that shit now and haven't had any panic attacks but I'm usually in a constant state of mild anxiety from the experience. I'm trying to find natural ways to get rid of the constant worry though. As in herbs and exercise. If I may ask do you have an anxiety problem also? If so could it be that anxiety is tightening our pelvic floor muscles?

    Yes I actually do have an anxiety problem. Mostly mild anxiety, even though it gets severe at times. I've experienced a panic attack once in my life, years back, never had it after that experience, thanks God. Never ever taken medication for it though, because in my opinion meds are a temporary relief and then when you come off of them, the anxiety most probably gets worse, then you're obligated to take them forever, which turns you into a zombie. I've always wondered, thinking it can be the anxiety tightening the pelvic floor muscle. Most guys that have this never really mention having anxiety though, they've mentioned doing penile exercise like stretching or jelqing I believe it's called. Which I've never tried or got into. nowadays I try to take Indian and chinese herbs and herbal teas that help moderate anxiety, but please I am not a doctor nor a professional, please check with your doctors or health care professionals before taking any herbs or natural alternatives, because they can also have dangerous side effects if you don't know what and how much you're taking. Well I'm gonna try to find out about pelvic floor exercises that help relax the muscle and if you can too that'll be great. Please write back with any news. Thanks a lot.

    Hey there just wanted to see if you have found out more stuff about the hard flaccid thing at all. I've been reading about it and it's weird because a lot of people talk about jelqing or how ever you spell it and they say it happened that way. I've never done penis exercises of any sort. I have over masturbates though lol. I find it odd that people talk about getting ED from it and yet we didn't. I mean I had PIED but that's over now. Do you think this hard flaccid influences erections at all?

    I've read very similar posts, about people having this problem due to jelqing. I've never done any risky or dangerous exercises like jelqing this problem came out of nowhere, maybe couple of years ago. I'm thinking from what I can remember it was around the time where I increased my masturbation sessions, from once a day to multiple times a day. Nowadays I masturbating once a day if I relapse, which I try my best not to. I haven't came across any good exercise tips, which many people on the forums claim it helped their HF penis. From what I remember they said it helps loosen the pelvic floor muscle. Which in return lets the penis hang more longer, softer, and relaxed. I will do some more research and get back to you.

    Hey guys I'm currently rebooting from PIED, which caused me severe anxiety during intimate moments with my gf and eventually flooded my daily life with all kinds of anxiety and I even began obsessing over the possibility of me being gay. (Which I'm not of course), however, all the anxiety began messing up my unit, starting with no morning wood, it got cold and lifeless, and one night I smoked weed and it made me super anxious about everything, and my dick and balls shriveled up I had hard flaccid for the first time. So that caused me tons of extra anxiety, and I've noticed that when I get super anxious and my heart beats fast I get hard flaccid. Days where I'm not anxious I see improvement, so I believe this is a pelvic muscle spasm due to severe anxiety.

    Same I'm almost positive it's muscle tightening a due to stress or anxiety, does this apply to you?

    Can't say it ever has. It's either one or the other for me.

    Ya I had this for a while, it was freaking annoying. My dick and balls would just shrivel up, it's the worst feeling. I fixed this firstly by not pmoing for extended lengths of time, secondly but wearing boxers, and lastly by taking nitric oxide. It's supposed to open up your blood vessels and improve circulation. Also try to stay warm, but most important of all, don't Jack off. I think hard flaccid is an early sign of impotence, so listen to your body and you'll be fine.

    Okay so I'm pretty much recovered from hard flaccid, which I expirienced after trying NoFap, plus a ton of stress and anxiety related to my flatlining. All you have to do to get your pelvic floor muscles to relax, (which is causing the muscles that make up your penis to contract) is to do stretches. You need to do pelvic floor stretches though. Lay down on the ground and spread your arms to their sides, and press your feet together, making a sort of rhombus in the space between your legs. Breath deeply in and out slowly. Do this for 5 minutes or so. You should also feel more mentally relaxed. Once you begin to loosen up your pelvic floor muscles your tension down there will lessen, and after a few weeks your hard flaccid will definitely be weakened. Hope y'all get better cuz believe me, I know I how much this sucks. You'll be fine don't worry, things will improve I promise
