A member asked:

Is there such a thing as a hard flaccid state of the penis?

No: No, hard and flaccid are opposites. You can be going from hard to flaccid or flaccid to hard and stay that way for a while, but that would be a transition state.

A member asked:

I have this firmness at the base of my penis that feels tight and hard even when flaccid. My penis used to just relax and be loose when flaccid, but now it is more shrunk up and harder. Is the firm part plaque or some hard tissue? I am only 18?
