Why do some guys get harder than others?

And for the guys who only get medium hard even when they are really aroused, does it make it harder for them to cum? I've met two guys in the past few years who just never get that hard. They are definitely turned on but to me they feel half as hard as other guys. Also both of these guys happen to take FOREVER to cum...so I'm wondering if there is a connection.

  • My recent ex used to get firm quite easily when we first started going out, he would then need a blowjob to make him hard enough for penetration. It didn't make much of a difference as he came within a minute every time. However the last 2 years he got himself into just sitting about the house, drinking beer, smoking and eating all the junk food in the world, he went from 180lbs to 250lbs and since then his erections only made his d*** warm but not firm or stand up.

    The guy I'm seeing now. He doesn't smoke, do drugs, rarely ever sits about doing nothing, keeps his fitness level up and for the most part has an excellent diet. When he gets aroused he is fully erect and is very hard, it also stays hard till he cums which does take a lot longer than the ex. He doesn't let me give him a blowjob though :(

    • That's too bad, blow jobs are fun! :)

  • My man get hard just in minuet and penetrate deep. His penis getting hard soon and full of warm blood flowing in it. I reach climax usually two times or more in a single round, and we usually have two or three rounds in a night. Because of family and social traditions and also because of religious matter I have never seen any other guy.

  • There should be a poll option for all us virgins who have never seen a penis and want to know just what's in store for them in the future...

    • You're right! Well, there's a lot of variety in terms of penises, not just in terms of size and shape but in terms of hardness too apparently. I'm not a virgin and I'm still learning new things! If you have any specific questions mssg me :)

  • I have days where I have trouble getting hard like today and it definitely increases the time necessary for orgasm. That being said, it can vary. Sometimes you're so aroused you start f***ing or pumping before you've reached full erection, and it literally makes it harder for your heart to fill the erectile tissue completely (only in very sudden cases). Sometimes you orgasm faster when you're softer as well, but you are right on the observation that hardness correlates with time required. Could have to do with the straightening of the urethra, plus the ability to push in harder.

    • Thanks for the info. I've noticed that with both of the guys in question, they were definitely aroused but both said it took them a really long time to finish so I was just wondering if hardness was a factor.

    • Yeah, but again it might just be an associative factor rather than a casual factor.

  • It depends on comfortability and blood flow circulation.

    We just have enough blood to run our penis and brain one at a time, so if his mind is somewhere else and not on his penis than his erection will also be some what undesirable.

    It sometimes also depends on the guys health and at what time you are having sex.

    I find morning sex to be the best, because I am well rested and all my attention is on her and the erection I woke up with. :-D

    Having sex after a long day at work or school is less desirable especially if I'm also dead tired.

  • Usually that's because some guys circulatory systems in their bodies are more healthy then other guys, over all health plays a huge part in it adequate stimulation the keeping up of that stimulation age any kind of medical conditions play a part certain medications there are quite a few medical reason why this can be happening mostly is age with lack of proper healthy circulation! Hope my answer helps!

  • Because a penis getting hard has to do with blood flow and quantity some guys with a huge penis are sometimes not near as hard due to not enough blood to stretch it all that hard.

  • Weak erections come from bad blood flow... Which comes from smoking,high cholestrol, high body fat % drinking too much...

  • I bet those guys have some sort of (mild) impotency, reason I'm saying so is they don't get that hard plus they take forever to come. I bet they are pretty tense in their pelvis area and can't relax. Men have sex problems just as women, but they are not talked about.

  • Different strokes for different folks.

    • Definitely, I'm not judging these guys. I'm just curious.

    • I'm not judging these guys, haha.
