Ok, I am 34 years old. Been married for 15 years. Happily. My better half has raised a concern about my penis. We communicate very openly, so Im not too upset about what she said, but she is convinced that my penis is not what it used to be. (shorter)
Ok, I dont expect to keep 100% funtion into my old age, but god Im not old.
On my side of things, it does seem like most of the time, my erections are not quite what they had been. You know, sometimes, its darn near painful when you get a really good one, you know, on the way up, you can feel the blood going in..... well I havent had one like that in a while. It gets hard and all, but still doesnt seem to be as big as it used to be.
So, I guess a less than stellar erection may make it seem smaller right?
I dont know. The desire is there for sure. My libido is over the top, and has been all my life....
The worst thing is, the size of my penis is a sensitive issue. Even at it's best, it was pitifully average, or probably below average. So, if its getting smaller than I am gonna die. God, I felt inadequate when I was 18, and now....jeez.
SHould I try Viagra or something? is this worth a trip to the doctor? COuld prostrate function affect this? Is Viagra only for people who CANT get erections, or would it help improve the quality of one for someone who can?
On one hand, I am working 70 hour weeks and going a mile a minute. Stress? Yeah, well thats me. Sole provider, 5 kids, 4 hours sleep a night....I know that alone can take the winds out of your sails, but its nothing new for me to be running like this.
If your erections are not as hard then that certainly could make it smaller. I have noticed that myself at times. If your libido is ok I wouldnt worry about it. Your penis is not really shrinking of course. Its just the amount of blood in it is less. Most likely the stress and lack of sleep play a part. Could be some loweing hormones thrown in there at 34 also. If you start to lose libido then go get checked out for the hormones.
Maybe try a relaxing weekend with your wife alone if you can arrange it and see if things go back to normal when youre rested and really into it.
You mention pain as your penis becomes erect ... is this recent? Has the angle of your erection changed? If so, you may have early Peyronie's disease. One effect is a shortening and re-angulation of the penis. (caused by scarring of the fascia) I'd check it out.
As for curvature...yeah it sort of hooks to the left a bit. But its been that way since I was a young man. As for pain, well its not really hurtful, but there have been times when I was getting an erection in the past, where it was going up so fast and so hard that it nearly hurt ya know.
I dont know. I was thinking about hormones to....
Thanks for the replies.
Thats what I love about the net! Here I am talkling about my penis getting smaller. Can you imagine that topic around the water cooler at work? Whew.
Ummm so if you have a five inch penis and are a hundered pounds over weight it goes away completely, "poof". you knew you shouldn't have eaten that last slice of pizza, now look at ya. What if you gain 110 pounds, you have run out of penis to shrink.
That's the best one I have read in years... Im still chuckling..
i read in esquire average size erect is a bit under 6" and that one loses 19% as you age, 34 is not aged. felqing is an exercise to enlarge, however its not effective as there are no muscles in the penis.
I hope you are not bothered that I am responding to this thread...My husband has gained quite a bit of weight after we got married..about 60lbs. But I do have to say that I believe he has gotten bigger and better...now he's been losing weight and get fit..for himself and I'd have to say size and performance is just as excellent as it was before. I don't honestly think weight gain/loss has THAT much effect. I do know that in the 10 years we've been married I believe his size has remained the same if not enlarged with his weight gain/loss. Maybe that confused you even more, but I just wanted to add my two cents.
My personal experience with my husband : A few months ago and also before my pregnancy, he had such an unbelievable libido. He didn't let me sleep one night without having sex ! And his erections were very good. He was so stress-free at work and home. Now, we have moved into new house which needs rennovations and he's doing it all by himself and also working over-time so hard to cover the expenses. sex? maybe once a week and he doesn't get those erections even after I give him a 5 min. oral ! I guess it's all stress and being tired. Don't worry !
