We all know of the connection of smoking and ed, and I've read some studies of improvement after long term cessation, but I've read some posts from others about an immediate return of nocturnal erections after just quitting a day or two.
I didn't think much of it but my brother just quit smoking and he said he woke up with rock hard wood on the second day of quitting which he hasn't had in years. To add to this, he is using the patch so he's still getting nicotine which I've read countless times is the main vasoconstrictor. Also he smoked almost ten years longer than I have.
I have quit unsuccessfully for a period of about three weeks with no return of nocturnal erections. So why do some report this immediate return? If it's artery hardening from smoking I would think that it would take much longer than 48 he's, especially when still using nicotine replacement therapy.
And what is that a sign of when one quits but doesn't enjoy this immediate benefit? Will it take longer for some or is that a sign of something else wrong?
I'm really going to make this my final go at quitting smoking and just wanted to see if others had a better understanding of this.
