Certain foods and, uh, non stop erections.

I'm 29 years old, not quite in "ready to step on stage" shape, but not far off. I'm 5'10" and 205lbs...got abs. I eat quite well and train 2x's a day.

I'm the singer in a local cover band. After our gigs, I always allow myself a cheat meal. I usually up the diet for a week or so before a gig. Anyhow, last night I ate about 6 pieces of baked chicken from Kroger and some cheese cubes at about 3am. I probably had 2 Jagerbombs over the course of our 4 hour gig too. I went to bed around 3:30 and was up at 8:30.

I have a normal sex drive most the time, but I've noticed that when I eat a cheat meal like mentioned above, late at night, and only sleeping a few hours as I can never sleep well post gig, I'm as "Fired up" as a 15 year old..ALL day. It gets to the point where the wife is like, "Enough" so I have to sneak off. Everything is even "more pronounced" too.

It doesn't make sense to me, but if it's causing my testosterone to take off, I'd like to know why so I can manipulate it.

Anyone have any ideas on why this might be? Sorry if this is gross, it just seems I may have stumbled onto something and I'd like to learn why.

I don't know if it is all the fat in the cheat meal.

I have a slightly similar problem - since starting the 5 v 5, I have also modified my diet by included lots of healthy fats. Before, I just basically ate the fat in salmon and oats, but have tried to increase this by adding at least 10 grams of fat to all meals except PWO.

Anyway, I'm a bad sleeper, and I continually wake up during the night. Since the change in diet and 5 v 5 programme, I am always waking up to erections, which is annoying to try to piss with. Bizarrely, I'm someone with an extremely low sex drive.

I don't know man, I take a decent amount of flax/etc. It just seems that whenver I eat "bad" food like this or a bunch of pizza or whatever, my sex drive takes off. In other words, why does this happen when I/we cheat?

I'm not sure. Does it occur for any type of cheat food? Pizza has MSG, and many other cheat food will have certain type of chemicals.

I imagine have erections all through the day would be extremely irritating and embarressing assuming that your not too small for it not to be visible.

See a doctor, or just unfortunately don't have the cheat meal.

Perhaps I should clarify, I just become a horny bastard - much more than usual. I've always thought it was the abundance of calories from the cheat meals. Would that make sense? I'm a TOTAL chronic dieter.

Flax has estrogeninc effects. Could be that when you dont take flax your libido improves. You also dont think its the amount of steroids they prolly feed the chickens?

 

[wylde342]

I've thought about that, but everything I've read says they haven't proved yet that the hormones/etc actually transfer to us. Have you heard/read differently?

whenever i have cheat days or eat a shit load of unhealthy food/fats i get the same thing, i dunno if the sleep thing has any affect. I also heard a while back that alchohal has a negative effect on your testosterone levels, dont know if thats 100 percent accurate though, so those jager bombs probably arent causing you to have more then usual erections.

 

[wylde342]

Well we're in the same boat then - cheat days bring it on!

Saturated fats, help men with thier sex drive.

When i cut out Fats from my diet, my dick hates me,

when i add in my ANPB + Steaks, he loves me again, so make sure to have some red meat for the creatine + sat fats.
