I am 17 years old, and for some reason it seems like after I pleasure myself I have trouble getting an erection in the time that follows. Lately I had been doing so pretty frequently (once a day if not more) but I woke up yesterday and my penis, though flaccid felt sort of hard, like the muscle or whatever it is in the shaft was tense. My penis was also a good amount smaller than usual. I suppose that it had gradually gotten this way over time, as these symptoms had appeared to lesser extents before. Since then, I havent been able to get an erection. In addition, when I flex the muscle that usually pumps blood into the penis (or at least that's how it feels... not sure of that actual anatomy), there is no blood flow. My plan is to stop jerking off until the symptoms improve (it feels a bit better than it did yesterday), but is there any other action I should take?
I think abstaining from self pleasure is a good plan.... see what your body needs. You may just need a break.

Are you feeling any stresses in life, anything bothering you to the point that it would maybe affect your performance?

I am sure you are fine... if in a week nothing improves I would suggest going to a urologist and tell him everything you have said here... he can then do tests to make sure everything is in working order.

Yeah I'm going to hold off on that for a few weeks, or however long it takes for things to return to normal. Today there is a bit more progress, but still no erection or anything close. I can feel blood flowing in the area more than yesterday for sure, but not yet to the point of an erection. Also it should be noted that these symptoms were present the last time I masterbated, but I hadn't realized I hadn't gotten an erection that whole day. I was able to get a full erection by self-stimulating, but nothing since. I think I can remember having a period of a day or maybe 2 in the past after I had done it multiple times in one day where I went without having an erection, and abstaining for a day or two seemed to bring things back to normal. Hopefully this is the same just taking more time. Another thing I have noticed is that when I pee it takes a few seconds longer for it to start. After it has started nothing else is unusual, but I think that it is related. Has anyone ever had a similar experience to what I am having and could give me an idea of what kind of recovery period there is? Abstaining isn't a problem, I do it more out of boredom than anything, I'd just like the problem to be fixed sooner rather than later so I can stop worrying about it.

As far as stresses go, I can't think of anything. Nothing outside of the normal schoolwork load/studying etc., but that isn't anything I'm used to. I guess that another item of note might be that since school started in August I have started taking Vyvanse once daily to help my attentiveness during class (it is prescribed), but I took it through the whole of last school year as well as through a 3 week summer study program in July without experiencing any similar side affects. I guess it could be a factor though.

I have noticed improvement but it is still not back to completely normal. I have had two orgasms since I last posted, as I had been with my girlfriend and received oral sex, but i haven't masterbated. My penis still looks and feels somewhat abnormal, it still feels a bit "hard" when flaccid, as in the muscle in the shaft feels a bit harder than usual, and the skin on the shaft has sort of creases, like it is scrunched down like an accordion (this isn't especially severe, there are 4-5 of these creases). I do get half-erections without stimulation, and I can get full erections through stimulation (normally around 8 inches for me), but when flaccid it is only about 4 inches long and 1 and 1/4 inches in diameter. Will this improvement continue steadily so long as I continue to have sex/masterbate less, or is there a bigger problem that I should be worried about?

I'm having this same exact problem man...I am also around 8 inches hard, but for the past 10 months the skin in the center shrinks and restricts blood flow A LOT (the head and bottom are fine however). My penis ends up looking like some weird hourglass shape. and to top it off, I also have the "delayed peeing" problem. It should be noted that I ALSO take Vyvanse (60 mg ER) for my ADD. It seems like we literally have the same medical condition.

 

It got a lot better and at one point I thought it was gone (I stopped taking vyvanse for a while), but just the other night it was the worst it's ever been. I know that blood restriction is a side effect of vyvanse, but is it really supposed to be this serve?

 

One last thing: The condition persists whether I take vyvanse or not, it's just a lot more severe when I'm on the drug.

 

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS THING ALREADY?? I'm too embarrassed to see a doctor about it but it's really interfering with my sex life :[

Oh and I almost forgot: I don't feel any pain at all. However, my penis seems to bend very easily around the shrunken area. As gross as this sounds, I can almost fold it in half without feeling anything at all. I know this CAN'T be normal.

Help! On Monday I took half of an ambien (it wasn't prescribed to me) then when I woke up on Tuesday I couldn't get an erection. Also I'm always turned on so I'm hard a lot of times during the day so not being hard alerted me. Also I had the same problem about the peeing situation. It is now Thursday and I can get an erection and also I haven't had a turned on moment or thought about sex. Is there anything I can do? Will this go away or am I stuck like this forever?! Also I'm 17.
