A member asked:

I never get spontaneous erections, my penis is flaccid all day except for sex and nocturnal erections. Is it bad that my penis is flaccid all day besides that? I heard the average man has 7 erections per day

A member asked:

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?
