Erection strength?!

Erection strength?

Erection is the effect of blood accumulating in the penis so does it follow that someone who is hypotensive (low blood pressure) will have weaker erections and those hypertensives (high bp) will have rock hard erections? Also, is the circumference of the vein directly proportional to the circumference of the penis since the penis is a specialized blood vessel? Please answer with proof or experience =.)

I am 45 and I have recently developed High blood pressure (that is as recent as 2005).. I am going to the gym and exercise is making this condition considerably better.

The fact that I have high blood pressure has not given me a more intense erection. If anything, quite the opposite is true. You will be pleased to know that the exercise has me on the up and up.

I think that the theory is flawed because the strength of erection (or the circumference) doesn't depend on blood pressure and the amount of blood travelling to the penis..... but on how much blood is trapped as it travels through the erectile tissue. The older you get.. the more these erectile fibres deteriate, I think, allowing blood to flow more freely through the erectile tissue. It is more like cartilage than it is like a muscle.. so it will not grow from training and the size of the cartilage is genetically determined no matter how much blood you try to force through there.

Here is a test... grab a hold of an erect penis at the base... and squeeze tightly.. now move the squeezed hand upwards slightly towards the glans without letting go of the pressure.... hard as a rock... but no increase in size.
