To preface this, I’m not sure I would have been able to mindfully be aware of this problem before I started taking niacin and salt. Niacin took away a lot of the intrusive thoughts I had and helped me a lot. Before that, supplementing sea salt improved the hard flaccid nature of my penis I had. After niacin and salt, my flaccid penis is much longer, looser and squishier. I took finasteride for 3 months and its been around 9 months off.
Niacin and salt may not be necessary, but to remain as accurate as possible it is important to know I was supplementing these in the couple of weeks before I started trying these mental changes. Salt and niacin by themselves, however, did not have a big impact on orgasm or erection quality.
So now let’s start the actual post:
-
Through closed eye masturbation I discovered that I have been trying to subconsciously manipulate the muscles of my penis while I masturbate to keep erection. I had to stop myself from doing this to see the negative impact it had on my erection. When I started trying to release control over these muscles and let them do what they naturally do, my erection quality increased.
-
Constantly evaluating my erection to make sure it was hard also hurt my erection quality. If I noticed it felt softer I would immediately think “I’m losing my erection” and it would become soft. I had to stop myself from evaluating my erection while experiencing sexual stimulation.
-
Because my focus was so scattered thinking about erection quality and trying to control erection muscles, I couldn’t focus on what was exciting me. Now that my attention isn’t scattered as much, orgasms feel nicer and I am more able to become immersed in fantasies. Especially closed-eye fantasies that I imagine.
I was mentally killing my own erection because I was in the thought process of when I couldn’t maintain erection while on finasteride. I’m sure many of you are still experiencing hormonal issues but I would give this a try.
