Erection Problem

[Mydavid]

Recently, when I have an erection, my cock is rock hard, but the glans is still soft.

Have you guys experienced this too? What should I do? I'm hesitant to go to the doctor.

I've had a similar effect if I use viagra but I'm not especially horny. Are you using ED meds?

No, I don't. As a matter of fact, I tried once to see if it could make the whole cock hard, but it didn't work, the same as ever.

Well, embarrassing as it may be, this sounds like a question for a doctor.

Go to the doctor.

 

The doctor's office is the last place on earth to be shy or hesitant about revealing anything

The doctor's office is the last place on earth to be shy or hesitant to visit, particularly if theres a concern.

Thanks!

Absolutely consult your physician. Most Physicians have heard/seen it all regarding personal issues. If you don't display embarrassment, he/she won't either. I hope you are able get satisfaction.

But first vet the doctor to see if he is gay friendly and comfortable dealing with sexual issues.

If I may opine:

 

From the wording of the OP's question, at one point the glans WAS hard when he was erect. I was going to comment on the extent of the corpus spongiosum [mostly just so I could say corpus spongiosum which always makes me giggle a bit; medical terminology is so weird], which (from Wikipedia) appears to be the erectile tissue of the glans.

 

The primary erectile tissue of the penis are the corpora cavernosa, but they are sub-glandular.

 

Interesting problem. If you have the choice, skip your Primary physician and go see a Urologist ... their the ones who specialize in this kind of problem.

 

And please, although it may be embarrassing, let us know what happens! I'm curious as hell to find out.

Actually, here's a fairly reasonable discussion of the problem:

The proper term is glans insufficiency syndrome. Damn doctors have a name for everything!

??? Don't understand.

??? Don't understand.

I took it to mean that he was mad that it was even necessary to vet a doctor, but I could be wrong. I would say that it's more something to be sad about.

Thanks for the link. That was a very interesting article. I especially enjoyed the section on "Diagnostics".

About finding out if a doctor is gay-friendly......How?

 

That would help feeling free to openly communicate. But what's a good way to do that? Websites I've found are nothing more than advertisements, often listing providers thousands of miles away from my location (after providing my zip code).

A friend was searching for a sex surrogate-therapist with same results. We both gave up the search.

I think it's something that varies from place to place. I can only comment on my experience. In Canberra there is a Yahoo LGBT bulletin board (social activities, places to rent, things for sale) on which people also post about their experience with various service providers (not just doctors, but all sorts), and ask for advice about those that might be gay friendly. I found my doctor on there: a gay guy who is a practice nurse at the GP centre posted that a doctor who specialised in LGBT health had joined the practice. Also, the AIDS council, which conducts free STI testing, has a reasonable idea of gay-friendly GPs. So if there is a sexual health clinic in your city that would be a good place to start, although of course in a small town that is less likely to be available.
