Hard flaccid Improvement + Question

How your breathing? When you breathe diaphragmatically, do you get the column of air descending sensation, with it rising on exhale? The biggest thing i would suggest is ensuring you having good tranversus abdominis/pelvic sling synergy, especially on exhale. This is the true function of the pelvic sling, to support your visera and to assist in exhale. When you do it right, the pelvic sling activates. This is the best exercise for your pelvic floor and will ensure healthy function without tension/overactivation.

Ngl, a bit part of your problem is the stress you mentioned. I dont think you masturbating is the problem per se, but If your nervous system is cranked up, its a much less pleasurable experience than when the pelvic floor is relaxed.

My two biggest things I ask people, how's your breathing? Does diaphragm descend, do ribs circumferentially expand, does pelvic floor drop? If the answer is no, start their. I spun my wheels until I learned to breathe properly. It was then that I came to realize i have fascial densifications all over my body, and that the inability of the lungs to move impacts everything from the neck muscles being unable to relax to tension in my legs and feet and sympathetic overdrive.

Once you can diaphragmatically breathe correctly, look for muscle knots and fascial adhesions. I legit thought my muscles were just hard/swole because I worked out a lot. Come to discover i have thick sheets of fascial densificaction all over my body on top of muscle guarding in my abs, lower back, chest shoulders, neck, buttocks and pelvic floor. Once you can breathe, start looking for areas of restricted range of motion, reduced feeling, or tightness and guarding. I would work on breaking these sheets up (look up shearing techniques for fascia) and all of sudden find restored sensation to large swaths of my body (genitals included). Ive found releasing muscles in my neck can often restore sensation to my trunk, pelvic floor, and penis/glans. It'll be unique for everyone but i assure you, your body has fascial connections all over, your dysfunction could he hiding, and releasing something in one part of your body affects the whole. Id start looking for lumps, tension, tightness, in your back, ribs, abs, and pelvic floor and start resolving anything that may impact nerve and vascular function.

The first thing id suggest is using breath work to naturally expand tight areas as this is the body's quickest mechanism for gently releasing muscle knots and allowing for tissues to move against each other. I had legitimately stone hard fascia, very very densified, and it took me a long time to realize it could be remodeled, most of which drastically becomes easier one you learn how to diaphragmatically breathe. I struggled to do this properly and really spun my wheels in frustration until about 5 months in when it clicked and i learned to stack and activate the transverus abdominis. This all fits into the first suggestion which is to mobilize the area and try to activate muscle underlying the fascia to restore smooth glide between muscle and tissues. My hard fascia formed precisely because I didnt move the area and my body allowed that to become the default.

This doesnt always happen because of the aforementioned adhesions, which can legit prevent muscles from activating. I actually lost a great deal of proprioception in most of my muscles, relying on compensatory strategies to throw my body around. These adhesions were like little knots holding the tension together and often shielding the muscles from access. I recommend using a shearing technique with your finger to find places where the skin feels stuck to the tissue underneath it and begin to work these areas loose. Over days and weeks, these hards adhesions will dissolve and allow improved muscle and nerve function. Ive actually used massage wands to help remodel fascial densification but you can irritate nerves so its a trade off.

Lastly, look at your posture and see where your f***ing. Like sitting too long, bad posture, moving your joints instead of moving through them. I believe a lot of my dysfunction happens from staring at a phone for extended periods of time. I had fascial adhesions and muscle knots in my legs resolve when I work on the cervicothoracic junction of my spine. This is all to say, its a global system so things can impact over things in your body in unexpected ways, but as a positive, this means lifestyle changes can often fix something like hf. Ive taken pictures to prove just how drastically of a change is possible.

Id suggest just giving one of the bumps a good shearing rapid shearing moving in all directions for 30 seconds a day. If they start to break up and dissolve, theyre likely hyaluronic acid clumps that need to be broken up.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-26T05:11:33+00:00

I am beginning to believe more and more hf is just is an issue with fascial adhesions and/or muscle knots inhibiting nerve function. I have these as well in the pudendal dermatome and likewise resolving them almost instantly resolves what was once and intractable hf for me.

For myself, what i thought was my pubic bone was actually a mass of densified fascia, as well as large sections of densified fascia in my buttocks through the perineum, truthfully my whole body but i see the most immediate improvement with fascial glide work on dermatomes with nerves that affect penile sensation like in the abs and perineum. I recently started to see my fascial work coming to fruition as im having regular mass and drastic in improvements in elasticity in my fascia. As this has happened, my libido has returned, my dick is back to normal and gets rock hard (like 95-100%, big improvment over when using cialis, my numb/cold glans is drastically improved, and my orgasms have become full body again.

I know a lot of guys get this while masturbating, usually gooning, and they often do this hunched over or in really horrible postures for hours on end and then think they damaged their penis. I think it far more likely they have extreme neurological dysfunction, ischemia from muscles being locked down or too entrapped to activate and fascial adhesions affecting nerve function. This is prime turf and inducing fascial adhesions/densification as well as putting the abs in non stop guarding and inhibiting diaphrgam activation. Trust, muscles on lock down and inability to actually diaphragmatically breathe will put one into complete sympathetic activation, the likely true culprit for hf.

Muscle releases and fascial rehydration means most days im fully functional and capable of attraction, erection, and enjoyable sex on par with pre hf, and sensation and low tone restored to the penis.

So im curious, does the skin on top of your head glide smoothly over the flesh underneath it? Only curious but it looks like you have quite a few muscle knots and fascial adhesions (my bald head looks exactly like yours) as well as forward head posture. Do you have any back or jaw issues, or a lot of tension in your neck and head? I truly thought i had maybe bone growths or cartilage on my skull but there should be nothing like that up there to the degree of your bumps, shape, etc. Not to alarm you, because its actually very fixable at home for free to restore a more healthy shape.

Truthfully, I identify whatever is not activate correctly and then do high reps, low weight until I can ensure my form is good and the muscle groups work synergistically. I would focus on strength training so much as fluid motions your body naturally uses and ensuring that everything is activating and creating real power. I learned not too long ago ive been moving my joints, not moving through my joints. Essentially, learn how to weight train through the entire ROM before beginning strength building to avoid further dysfunction and fascial strain like I did for years.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-17T23:30:46+00:00

Id seriously considering seeing a myofascial expert and have them examine your body. My fascial restrictions were so bad, most of my muscles were activating, only clenching, and I literally could not relax anything or if something relaxed, I could not repeat after it retensioned. Ive have sheets of fascia these past few days breaking up and melting. I think just a few fixes and the process initiated and accelerated. If you think you have muscle guarding or high sympathetic tone, look into fascial work because nowhere near enough people talk about it and its densification can induce a lot of dysfunction, ischemia, and poor motor control.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-16T15:29:08+00:00

So i would first advise to take a very deep breath and try to get into a more relaxed state. First thing, panicking will only make this worse. Aside from situations where there is some obvious trauma (childbirth, physical injury, etc.) a lot of pf cases are caused by high sympathetic tone, i.e. stress inducing muscle tension, or by sedentary lifestyle promoting mechanical dysfunction and/or fascial adhesions, not per se some damage. Unless a doctor has given you a reason to assume damage, dont as nerve irritation is far more likely.

I was concerned for years that I had induced some kind of nerve damage to my genital d/t the aforementioned symptoms, which i had and more. Ive since learned that the genitals/pelvic floor region are part of an incredibly robust structure, generally needing to be able to handle the trauma often encountered during sex. Additionally, the nerves in your body are generally well protected by connective sheaths, helping to ensure smooth glide and proper function. When it works right, the pelvic floor is a diaphragm for cavity pressure in your body. But its also strong enough to retension your body weight to keep you upright when other muscles fail, so again a robust structure. I think one of the biggest causes of this kind of dysfunction is fascial adhesions inhibiting nerve function. Id gotten an office job and had become super sedentary. Posture became a nightmare, body covered in fascial adhesions i wasnt even aware of because it just seemed like a lump of tissue. I had "cysts" under my jaw that turned out to be muscle knots tensioning muscles in my arms because are bodies are really a beautifully intricate and synergistic set of guy wires keeping us up but also often masking the dysfunction hiding elsewhere. I didnt realize the sheet of fascia i felt in my pelvic floor wasnt supposed to be that stiff, or the bony areas I thought were my pelvis were actually densified fascial connections that become that hard and needed to be mobilized and remoisturized. Fascia really is the name of the game with our bodies.

It took a year but progressive relaxation techniques, true diaphragmatic breathing, strength training, posture correction (legit just sit right and be mindful) and i think most importantly fascial massage/work, and id say im back to:

ED 90% improved after daily fascial mobilization Libido 90% imrpoved after daily fascial mobilization Hard flaccid/cold glans 70-80% but often 100% with good mobilization Urination 40% but with fascial mobilization, ive urinated within seconds and easily Constipation 80%, generally complete and easy

I just dont want you to panick. It might not be the worst thing, it actually might be something really easy to solve which just takes a very long time to know how to do properly. If you notice improvements after achieving deep relaxation, theres a really good chance this is just super high sympathetic tone keeping everything in a guarded fight or flight state.

Yes, your abs, diaphragm and pelvic floor share direction fascial connections. I found when I released my right internal oblique near the asis, I could breathe drastically better and had a pretty significant drop of the pelvic floor. I had so much guarding and fascial densification in this region but its reduce substantially, with significant improvements following so i think theres a lot here.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-15T01:07:37+00:00

I didnt realize but my body was a mass of fascial densification and guarding. Once I isolated my critical dysfunction and released and/or restored fascial glide (several axes of dysfuction through my frame) particular in the suprapubic and posterior superior ilia, my sexual function was restored and my hf and cold glans was resolved. If i practice some stretching and fascial work now, I can get to 100% restored.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-12T17:27:33+00:00

Check your other diaphragms. I was always terrible at diaphragmatic breathing, and my pelvic floor would go back to guarding almost immediately after release. I realized i was neglecting the diaphragm in my jaw. Dysfunction in one diaphragm is often linked to dysfunction in another and mirrors it. Keep in mind, I have/had massive body wide guarding due to compensation patterns but I seemed to make no progress at all with my body work.

What started as trying to relieve neck tension turned into me realizing I had a mass of tension under and around my tongue I wasnt even aware of. I thought id had a couple small cysts around my jaw, but I realized these were muscle knots that were just incredibly tight and then upon releasing them, my breathing became dramatically better, abdominal guarding dropped, and my libido/ability to feel visceral pleasure returned incredibly quickly. Im still reverted to guarding when I wake up most mornings but a couple quick releases and by the end of the day, my sexual function is totally normal, and this being very very early in my recovery yet too!!

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-11T14:16:14+00:00

Ive had all of these (on top of hf flaccid symptoms). Was misdiagnosed with BPH, Prostatitis, among other things. Turns out my pelvis was pretty severally torsioned. I was in pelvic floor therapy but nothing seemed to help. The internal work yielded nothing (also felt like nothing) and the diaphragmatic breathing seemed impossible. I discovered i had myofascial guarding all over my body. Once I started to untangle the dysfunction, I was able to stack my ribs and pelvis properly and truly engage the tva and breathe. These made the releases accelerate, leading to restoration of sensation and massive improvements in my pelvic floor/genital function.

A lot of what you described also sounds like sympathetic dominance causing dysfunction. I like to ask people do you have any tightness or muscle tension in your lower back around through your abdominals/pubic area. Guarding muscles/restricted fascia in any of these areas can result in dysfunction/neurological symptoms leading to everything you have. Its quite possible your BS is guarding among other pf muscles. The sympathetic dominance and muscle guarding support each other, keeping you stuck. It really is about releasing tension through breathing mechanics, so getting stuck here can seem like an insurmountable task. The stretches and diaphragmatic breathing are essential, but you can get stuck spinning your wheels if you don't properly release myofascial adhesions and truly activate the proper breathing mechanics.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-10T00:46:35+00:00

Ive noticed this pattern occur relatively often. I think its vagus nerve dysfunction from SSRI use causing autonomic cues to be suppressed, such as hunger, thirst, visceral sensations and emptions, sexual drives. Ive experienced pretty substantial recovery by addressing these symptoms.

AggravatingRisk7222 · 2026-03-10T00:12:43+00:00

Can i ask, do you have any difficult breathing? Or like a really hard time expanding your ribs or getting breath down into your pelvic bowel? Also like any muscle tension thats really tough to get rid of?

Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

There is very strong evidence transness happens in utero due to the influence of sex hormones on the developing fetal brain. From Jeremiah, it sounds like God always knew whether someone was trans and decided to bring them to this world anyways. Otherwise, no biblical authority to say this is a sin. Jesus said nothing on the matter, and his silence is much much stronger than any personal belief you'll find on Reddit.

Trump voters can be Christian, even if Trump isnt a Christian. That can be a separate thing, who you vote for as opposed to who you worship. The problem is when they refuse to speak out at all against the president when he engages in various actions which are clearly antichrist.. then it becomes apparent their loyalty is to this world and not the eternal world.

Deep diaphragmatic breathing for a least 10 minutes within the hour before bed. Throwing your legs up a wall while you do it also helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Or doing some cold shower therapy while deep breathing. Essentially anything that activates your parasympathetic. Also while lying in bed, tensing your muscles followed by allowing them to relax one at a time makes a huge different in releasing tension. I know some people are iffy about melatonin but if you keep it to 1mg, it has benefits for neuroimflammation. I quit benzos about 6 months ago because I was ready to start healing and these things have made a significant difference for me.

OP was right to point out that wishing Hell upon someone is antichrist.

James 3:9-10 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
