Here's my questions. What do you guys think determines the angle of your erection? Is it your internal anatomy and how the implant fits you or can you attribute it to something else? I'll thank you all in advance for your input.
I'm sure part of the erection angle depends on how tight the suspensory ligament that holds the crus to the pubic bone is. Think of the suspensory ligament as a lever. If there's a fairly deep crus (into the perineum), that is the counter-force and the ligament is the lever. A loose ligament would mean less upward angle.
You mentioned in your original post that as you got older and developed ED, the angle started to drop. Perhaps the angle appeared to drop due to the ED but it was the other way around. The ED could in theory be a result of a slack ligament if the upward angle tended to aid venous occlusion when erect. I find that my sensitivity goes WAY UP when I hold my inflated penis in an upward position near my belly and I've even found a bit more engorgement of my glans when doing so, sometimes.
In my layman's theory, venous leakage might not show itself it readily if mechanical occlusion occurs due to the upward angle of the erection but if the "lever" gets loose and causes the angle to drop, the angle induced occlusion could be eliminated causing the inherent venous leak to show itself more readily.
