A member asked:
Can tying an elastic band round the base of your penis help you maintain an erection longer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Yes, but it can lead to loss of blood flow, gangrene and amputation if left in place too long or too tight. Don't try to fool with mother nature, as you'll regret it.

To clarify, I can get erections and maintain them. But I've noticed that the base at the top of the penis feels weaker than what it used to feel like. If it did get weaker, what led to that and is there a way to strengthen it? Is it a big deal?
My penis, when erect, bends severely to the left an downward. There is also a hard lump at the left side of the base. Why? I have no trouble obtaining or maintaining an erection. The bend makes use painful.
If before i had long lasting erection and now I have complete feeling in my penis but fail to maintain my erection without flexing my PC muscle does it mean nerve damage, scar tissue or too much porn?
