if I or PT push hard on the pudenal nerve will it interfere with erections?

Never heard of that. The nerve is quite deep and you'd get an electric "shock" right through the region of you managed to pinch the nerve.

sometimes I think I worry about impossible bullshit related to this stuff. It is like the discomfort has made me paranoid. so does that mean a PT cannot damage it by accidentally pushing it?

what implement are you using?

due to scarce funds I'm carrying out PT by myself (using a trigger point self massage manual - but unfortunately it skips over intrapelvic massage by recommending going to a PT if this is necessary). I went to one session with a PT and he didn't do any intrapelvic. I asked about it. he said my problem wasn't the prostate. the session he gave me definitely gave me relief for a few hours but I'm interested in massaging intrapelvic because of the fullness and achiness is in the perineum area and around the base and urethra of penis. I seem to be getting better regarding the rectal pain/golfball problem from its worst instances last year and want to make more progress with the symptoms "towards the front". I have made progress there too. I seem to be able to avoid sudden extreme stress induced involuntary perineum "tightening" that I suffered from commonly last year. but the mild version I still have is quite discouraging and seems to be a factor in urinary frequency (sitting down in the drivers seat of the car always triggers these symptoms and I don't look forward to driving). I've been using a tennis ball to assist massages in the abdominals, buttocks and thighs. I also use elbow, knuckles, paired fingers etc.

one other note. I have the 2nd edition on AHIP so I haven't seen the trigger point list for intrapelvic included therein. since I bought my 2nd edition at end of last year I'm not eager to buy 3rd edition for one extra page.

I'm trying to maintain a routine of 1 hour yoga stretching plus 30 minutes of swimming a day.
