Title: HARD ERECTION
Post by: FernandoPOIS on October 15, 2021, 07:26:03 AM

I have new information that could be valuable.
I realized that when I have an orgasm with a very hard penis, I have no symptoms.
Many who suffer from POIS have anxiety and have difficulty maintaining a strong erection and often experience premature ejaculation.
In my case as I never had symptoms when orgasm happens with traditional sexual intercourse (with a partner) I always suspected that there could be some relationship with adequate blood flow to the genital region.
I decided to experiment with masturbation. I was very relaxed in a very calm and private environment and maintained a good erection for a few minutes before ejaculating and had no symptoms after orgasm, not even the traditional fatigue that practically everyone has after an orgasm (even those who don't suffer from POIS) . As I use Sertraline 50 mg (1 x a day), ejaculation does not come as fast as if I were without the medication. So I suggest you try starting therapy to reduce anxiety, preferably with medication that increases the availability of serotonin.
It's not a definite certainty because I had these orgasms 1 week apart. Maybe if you increase the frequency the result can be different.

FernandoPOIS, your example above might explain why I had no POIS symptoms when I took a PDE5 inhibitor (Levitra) 10 years ago. Before starting TRT.

But sadly, it stopped working eventually. I’m trying to re-test it. My cardiologist says yes/ok, but he wants me to first get more regular exercise.

I have had a history of coronary artery disease with 5-way bypass (open heart surgery) - - and I’m a little too sedentary/inactive, so a PDE5 inhibitor (like Levitra)  might be too strenuous for my heart. Right now.

I've found the similar effects just from calming myself very strongly when having erection/arousal. I'd say it has nothing to do with bloodflow but by having a little pois like adrenaline during erection as possible (erection can be harder as an side-effect) .

This is opposite for me. The harder the erection the harder the pois

I suspect it’s true for many.
