standing up

Does anyone else have trouble keeping and getting an erection while standing up. I initially thought i had a venous leak but i took the doppler test and it said i had perfect blood flow except i did the test laying down, not standing up. Also i can keep and get a full erection easily when lying on my back. Can anyone else realate with the standing up issue.

I used to have this problem but after doing kegels and reverse kegels I lost it and now I can keep an erections for hours.I've also seen a thread like this before and we came to the conclusion that it could be a mental thing.That when you get up your not thinking about keep that erection and you slowly or quickly start to lose it.You just have to know your keeping that erection.

I have the same thing. It's not a problem if it's being stimulated (ie. having sex standing up) but yes, I have trouble maintaining a full erection when standing up...which is why I think I should've sat down when I measured my initial BPEL and NBPEL. I notice I'm bigger when I sit down too, by a 1/4 inch!

I have to concur. If I am not having sex and standing up my EQ will slowly go down but if sitting/laying down it will stay hard and I believe this to be that when you are standing up other muscles are also requiring more blood too like your legs because they are being used to hold-up some weight. That is my theory about it. But, yes, strong pelvic muscles can be achieved with kegels and is recommended.
