Why I have started low level estrogen HRT

[CT212 (imported)]

Well it's been almost 3 weeks now since my doctor increased the dose of medication. I have notice some changes already. This past week has been very busy for me at work, so I have been focused on my job all of the time. When I finally got time to relax this weekend I noticed that I was no longer having erections and the urge to masterbate was gone. I'm not sure on what day this happened, but I am glad that I don't have those thought's on my mind anymore.

Just generally,

I am wondering if not using the tool -- ignoring the penis, not wishing for erections, etc. helps to contribute to maintaining it in its' small size. By this I mean, the longer one ignores it -- perhaps it just doesn't grow anymore.

Could this be a psychological or is it physiological phenomenon?

And of course the benefits of HRT and testosterone-reducing drugs or minerals will give some results, but I am wondering if ultimately the brain is responsible for reducing the amount of erections or eliminating them all together. Would that follow? Would estrogen change one’s thinking process to where the male genitals become “rusty”, “ignored”, and left to atrophy?

Just sort of rambling on in thoughts here this early A.M.

If you can manage to stop the erections you can accomplish having the penis shrink

I think it is a little of both the psychological and physiological phenomenon. In my case it seems to be more physiological than psychological.

I have no problems in preventing erections throughout the day, I usually don't get erections during the day unless I get really turned on by something I read or saw, or spend the time and energy stroking my dick.

However that be told I usually get 2-4 erections (that I know of) during the night, and they are not caused because of some wild dream (from what I can tell). All I know is I hate getting them at night as they usually wake me up.

I would conclude that it would be very hard to stop getting erections unless you lower or eliminate the Testosterone from your body, or find same way to damage penis or prostrate so you become impotent.

You are right Luvpain, the average male gets 4 to 5 nocturnal erections every night, most men sleep right through them, I for one did not. Each erection would wake me up and in the last couple of years they were becoming more and more painful. Last September I started on Androcur, a castration drug. The second week I was waking up because of that nocturnal erection thing but my member was limp.

With out erections day or night awake or asleep you will start a study decline in the size of your penis. Most of the guys I have talked to that have made the transition from Male to Eunuch really don’t want the erections and don’t mind the small penis.

Now those guys that get cut and take HRT dose not figure in this as they will still be getting erections and will have days that there horny.
