Perineum question durring erection

Post by carld »

I was thinking about this because as we all know, we are now more aware of things in our mid section then before our onsets of this.

The perineum is soft when I'm at a flacid state, but durring sex my perineum is hard, is it supposed to be that way with an errection? It would seem that this is normal, but I was just wondering, because my perineum is my biggest problem area right now and I wanted to know if this is part of the errection process?


Regards, Carl

Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

I believe thatis normal, maybe Kevin can weigh in on that as his anatomy and understandings of the area are superior to mine.
