"I always like to start in my undies, rubbing through the material until i get a fairly decent hard on, which doesnt take too long. (as i've said, i get hard, its keeping hard that i cant manage)
Then its pants pushed down to just under my balls, as they are small i enjoy the slight pressure the waistband puts on them."

"Like DaveUK I discovered that if I rub my penis and scrotum gently through my y-fronts,I can get an erection."There's good medical evidence for "use it or lose it" when it comes to erectile and ejaculatory function, so my goal is to wank daily (unless the wife is available and willing for sex!) However, getting the initial stiffy can be problematic at times.
When I was younger, I did the whole "rub through the undies" routine that Dave and Tom both describe. There's a reason that works for getting an intial chub, and after reading their postings a few months ago, I've revived my use of that technique.
There are different kinds of nerve receptors in the penis and genital skin. Some respond to temperature changes, some respond to stretching, some respond to vibration (manual or battery-induced!), some respond to light touch, and some respond to deep pressure (even through your clothing).
The different techniques guys use are capitalizing on the different kinds of nerve endings, and where they're located. E.g., elastic waistband under the balls is putting pressure on another "sweet spot" in the perineum. Pulling shaft skin or pulling the ballsack down work on the 'stretching receptors.'
Since I'm circumcised, some of the more delicate sensations (like light touch) don't respond quite like they used to (See "The Prepuce" video at
http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org) --which is why I'm doing foreskin restoration. However, the deep pressure nerve receptors are still there, and so pressure through the pants still does something for me!
I'd be interested to hear more from guys on what they do to 'get it up' before they actually 'go at it.' I'm sure there's more to be capitalized on and shared when it comes to better techniques for getting and keeping good wood.
60's. Married. Occasional ED offset by a variety of methods (VED pumping, foreskin restoration, edging) with Cialis and/or pills sometimes for sex.
