Erection Strength Optimization – (Daily + On-Demand)
Erection quality is a neurovascular + smooth muscle + venous trapping issue.
This thread outlines a simple, sustainable protocol aimed at improving:
- Rigidity
- Sustainability (less positional dependence)
- Morning erections
- Baseline reliability
CORE DAILY STACK (FOUNDATION)
1. Pelvic Floor Training (Kegels)
Purpose: Improve venous trapping via IC/BC muscle strength.Protocol
- Once daily only
- 20–30 slow reps
- 3–5 sec contraction
- 3–5 sec relaxation
- Finish with 10 fast pulses
Notes
- Do NOT clench all day
- Overtraining → hypertonic pelvic floor → worse erections
2. Tadalafil – 2.5 to 10 mg Daily
Purpose: Improve endothelial function, NO signaling, baseline blood flow.Guidelines
- Take once daily at the same time
- Food irrelevant
- Do not chase effects by increasing dose
- Optional 5–7 day break every 8–12 weeks to maintain sensitivity
3. Daflon – 500 mg Daily
Purpose: Improve venous tone and erection sustainability.Use
- Once daily
- With food
- Safe for long-term use
4. L-Citrulline (Malate) – 6 g Daily
Purpose: Increase nitric oxide production (inflow).Optimal dosing
- 3 g morning (empty stomach)
- 3 g afternoon
- Citrulline > arginine for sustained NO
- Avoid dosing right before sleep
Do not read past this if you have already got the basics of supplementing down, you are wasting time
5. Magnesium – 400 mg Nightly
Purpose: Smooth muscle relaxation, parasympathetic tone.Preferred forms
- Glycinate
- Taurate
6. Vitamin D3 + K2 – 2500 IU Daily
Purpose: Endothelial health, androgen signaling.
- Take with fat
- Increase to 3000–4000 IU if deficient / winter
7. Zinc – 15–50 mg
Purpose: Androgen signaling, NO pathways.If using more than 25 mg daily → add 1–2 mg copper to avoid depletion.
ON-DEMAND OPTIMIZATION (DATE / PERFORMANCE DAY)
60–90 min before
- +3 g L-Citrulline (on top of daily intake)
- 10–15 min light leg pump (walk, squats, lunges)
15 min before
- 3–5 fast pelvic floor contractions
- Slow nasal breathing (parasympathetic activation)
- Alcohol
- Heavy meals
- Nicotine
- Porn earlier that day
EXPECTED TIMELINE
- 7–10 days: more frequent morning erections
- 2–4 weeks: improved rigidity and sustainability
- 6–8 weeks: high baseline reliability, reduced need for on-demand stacking
COMMON MISTAKES
- Overdoing Kegels
- Excessive arginine instead of citrulline
- Increasing tadalafil dose unnecessarily
- Nicotine use
- Chronic stress / sleep deprivation
SAFETY NOTES
- Avoid nitrates / aggressive NO pre-workouts with tadalafil
- Stay hydrated
- Do not combine with recreational vasodilators
