ED while standing and kneeling

[satanael Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close satanael]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. I have a hard time getting and maintaining an erection when standing/kneeling. I can get an erection just fine when laying down or sitting but I need to watch porn and be constantly stimulating in order to stay erect when standing. What could be causing this?

some more information:
- Premature ejaculation (can only last about a minute during penetration/blowjobs)
- Involuntary kegels throughout the day. Especially in the morning if I get morning wood.
- Frequent urination
- Bad masturbation habits. When i was younger I used to masturbate to porn while laying down and I would kegel constantly to feel more pleasure.
- After a couple of beers the premature ejaculation is essentially non-existent and it's much easier to stay erect even when standing

Quit porn.
This sounds like a pelvic floor issue a physio who does male pelvic floor is the treatment of choice .

Thanks for the advice.

I will stop watching porn and see if that helps.
I currently do not have access to a physical therapist unfortunately. Would a kegel/reverse kegel routine be of any help in the meantime? or would that just make things worse?

Are you facing any other erection problem like Soft corpus spongiosum, soft glans or less sensitive penis head?
Most importantly can you have sex properly?
And what do you think might have caused this problem, did you masturbated more than twice with more pressure or something else like this before having this problem?

The only position I can have sex in is with the woman on top. I lose my erection if I stand up or go on top. Everything else seems normal.

I've done a lot of research lately and I believe i'm suffering from a tense and/or weak pelvic floor.
For now I'm going to follow a reverse kegel/stretching routine until my pelvic floor is completely relaxed. After that I might start adding regular kegels depending on whether I see improvement or not.

Try a Cock ring.
Im sure it will help maintaing erection while standing and kneeling.

Btw are you sure your when you have erection your bottom line of penis called corpus spongiosum and penis head called Glans are hard?

The corpus spongiosum and the glans seem normal to me.

something I forgot to mention: When I try masturbating standing I feel very little pleasure which makes it difficult to get an erection. It's the complete opposite when sitting or laying down. When sitting/lying down, stroking feels very pleasurable and i get erect and reach the PONR very quickly.

Brother, i have this same condition as you have, I have trouble getting erection in standing and kneeling position. I have no problem when laying down on bed or in sitting postion.
But the other thing happened to me is that i have numbness in my glans (penis head). Corpus spongiosum and glans are also soft during erection. And the corona (rim of the penis) increased in length.
I don't know what caused these all probIem to me, i think it's caused by masturbating too much.
Btw what's your age?
And are you married or in relationship with a girl?

Have you gone to a doctor to get checked out? do you think you might have pelvic floor issues? if your pelvic floor is too tense, it might be causing circulation issues and it could also be affecting the nerves in that area.

I'm starting to see a little improvement after doing reverse kegels for about 10 days now. I no longer have to urinate as frequently. I used urinate ever 30 minutes and it would a strong urge.
Involuntary kegels have gone down a lot.
I also noticed I no longer leak so much pre cum. I used to leak a lot whenever I would get aroused.

I don't know if my standing erections have improved since I have not masturbated since I started doing reverse kegels. I also haven't seen my girlfriend, we're in a LDR and we see each other every few months.

I'm in my late 20's btw

If you have always jerked off lying down it’s not uncommon for that to become necessary in order to orgasm/get an erection. Tends to affect sex as well.

quit masturbating lying down, only stand or kneel, if you can’t get hard or get off then you don’t get to that day. Try again next time and depending on your libido it should take care of itself pretty quick. It’s not a one time fix either - I would do that for at least a month and then you can switch it up.

Do you still have those ED issues? I guess I am having similar problem...

[satanael Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close satanael]

The Ed issues are improving slowly. I've been able to masturbate standing a few times but maintaining the erection is still an issue.
