3 years in. I can’t take it anymore. Stabbing pain in penis. Tailbone also hurts. Sitting sometimes hurts. But biggest issue is stabbing pain in penis. Sometimes even hurts when pee. No bacteria. Been in physical therapy for almost a year now. Taking muscle relaxer and Valium suppository. Still in daily hell.
Hey guys, considering the Linn 119 bookshelf speakers in walnut. Anyone have any experience or thoughts? Thank you. My budget is $5,000
I’m looking to upgrade from my B&W 685 S2s with a budget of up to $5k/pair. I’m considering the ProAc Response DB3 but haven’t been able to audition them. Sound quality is the priority…natural vocals, detail, soundstage and good bass. I prefer a wood finish and understated design. Current amp is a Rotel RA-12, though I may upgrade that as well.
Anyone own or audition the DB3? Would you recommend them, or is there something else under $5k you think is better?
Thoughts on ProAc DB3 and where to get them in the northeast USA. I’m coming from Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2 and I have a Rotel RA-12 integrated amplifier which I intend to keep.
I’m curious how important it is to meet the donor either on zoom or in person. Ours is a known donor however she doesn’t want to meet via zoom but is willing to email. Just curious if others had a similar experience and what the pros and cons are.
I’ve been dealing with chronic pelvic pain for about 3 years and am curious whether anyone here has had a similar progression.
Mine started with coccyx/tailbone pain, which lasted for 10 months. Had 3 months of of no pain then suddenly developed urinary urgency/frequency and urethral discomfort, which eventually evolved into chronic penile pain and testical pain. The urinary symptoms became less prominent, but the penile pain stayed. It can be sharp/stabbing or pressure-like and at times severe. It’s a constant pain but arousal and especially ejaculation can trigger major flares afterward.
After different opinions, the current thinking is CPPS involving a hypertonic pelvic floor/muscle spasm combined with nerve irritation and sensitization, rather than an infection or primarily a prostate problem. Pudendal nerve involvement has also been considered, and pelvic floor PT has consistently found significant tightness.
Here’s the part I keep wondering about: for years before and during the development of these symptoms, I regularly edged/gooned for 1–3 hours once a week or so. This is just how I’ve masterbated for as long as I can remember. Usually on cam laying in bed with laptop on my legs. It was something I enjoyed and I never thought it could have physical consequences.
Has anyone else had a history of prolonged edging/gooning before developing urinary urgency, penile/urethral pain, coccyx pain or CPPS? Did stopping for an extended period make a meaningful difference?
Most importantly, did anyone with a similar presentation significantly improve or recover and eventually return to normal, pain-free sexual activity? What helped you most?
