Hey guys!
What is all your opinions and experience with ‘Use it or lose it’?
I’ve been having penile issues recently potentially due to a trauma meaning i need to rest it a lot more and not masturbate/have sex as much, i COULD have a form of mild peyronies which i am unable to get a diagnosis on at the moment in the uk, so i really need to calm down on the erections/masturbations/sex etc. i know that and have been told by many that this probably just down to PELVIC floor but just to be on the safe side i'm easing off for a few weeks.
I normally do it twice a week now. I may get the odd erection on other days but it’s never a full erection. I can get morning wood but its never a very full hard morning wood and also sometimes i may not get it for weeks (I KNOW these are other issues i am dealing with but today i just want to know about your opinions on Use it or lose it).
QUESTIONS:
1: What should be the minimum one should get a full erection per week? (If one is not getting morning wood/spontaneous erections).
2: Has anyone actually gone a long time with no erections and then when they did were just as good as before? (Someone who also was not getting morning wood/spontaneous erections).
Thanks guys hope ya can help!

2. Not me

The purpose of night wood is to keep your dick healthy by generating erections during REM sleep at night. For most guys, Night wood is enough to prevent size loss.

Yeah i guess that but how does one know that they are getting nightwood? Like i do wake up with an erection every now and again.. but nightwood erection is not alll night so how does one know they are consistently having them?

1. Daily. BUT, if your PF is screwed up there's a chance daily erections might not be possible.

2. Yes. Well, my erections seem better now actually.

I doubt you have peywhatever. I'll bet you just have a PF issue that you need to get down to the bottom of.

I never base the health of my banana on night erections and/or morning wood, because other factors in life can prevent such from happening.
