I did measure when i was younger..I think 9th grade..so around 14-15 yrs old...I was 6.5 inches long then..didnt ever measure again till i was like 25..now & since i measured then im like 5-5.5 inches long..so I lost an inch to an inch & a half..I was @ 140 then where im @ 185 now..so did my body just get bigger without my penis going with it? not really a big deal..I was just more hung then..its a terrible thing to lose size when you had it at one time

Increasing weight will add fat around the base of the penis causing it to appear to shorten. Lose the weight gain the inches

Your penis will decrease in size as you get older.. 20-25% from what I've read. Exercise that thing and gain size.

From one who has achieved the tender age of 62, I haven't noticed any decrease in size whatsoever. There is this though: sexual arousal is more difficult as we age, known fact. In some guys the "maximum" tumescence may have decreased, especially past age 50, accounting for the apparent "change" in size. Best to just keep sexually active -- use, so you don't lose...
