Serious penis issue

[plifter]

I posted this on the medical board but it doesn't look like that forum gets much traffic so since it concerns my penis, I'll try posting it on the sex board. Here goes:

Ok, I'll start out by confessing that my penis is a bit smaller than average. It's about 5.1 inches (approx 13 cm) when erect. My issue is that it stays shrivelled up all day. It looks like a stack of dimes from the number of folds. I know that shrivelling is a common reaction to temperature extremes and stress (both physical and mental). If my penis constantly stays shrivelled up, does that mean I'm under too much stress? I've noticed that when I'm drunk or smoking weed and relaxing, my penis and scrotum hang nice and lose. This is about the only time I see my genitals in this state. It looks much better having my flaccid penis hanging 3.5 inches.

Seriously, beyond aesthetic issues, could there be something wrong with me that causes my penis to stay shrivelled up so much of the day?

Please don't make fun of my thread. I'm asking this as a serious question. This isn't something that I have the confidence to talk to my doctor about.

God I hope not, mine does the same thing. I think it's actually a medical condition. I know Howard Stern has it because he's talked about it. Nothing to be ashamed of though. I'm proud to say I'm a grower and not a shower. Most women actually think it's neat since they like to make him grow

I think your body is sending you a message that it wants you to do more alcohol and weed.

its the result of fight or flight adrenaline and cortisol. reduces blood supply and shrinks up your privates so they're less of a target and the lion or tiger that your primitive body thinks is chasing it will have less chance of getting a good bite.

and yes, its a good informal benchmark to tell you you're stressing out, but its not indicative of any medical abnormality in and of itself as far as I know.

If adrenaline always does that- isn´t it high during sex?

what about sadist sex

yes it is, but there is also a cascade of other hormones being released (plus the physical stimulation) that more than compensates for the adrenalines vasoconstitive effects on mr. happy.

It is nice to see that some men do actually admit that their penis is smaller than average. Usually men brag about it but I admire your courage guys. Its not something to be ashamed of in my opinion.

I dont think it works that way

you´re saying an adrenaline blocker would increase potency

dont know - the answer would be yes in a vacuum since adrenaline is a vasoconstrictor, and an erection is a result of vasodialation, but the adren may also be a trigger for some of the other hormone cascades.

so it may not work in reverse, but adrenaline/epinephrine/ephedrine/etc etc are vasoconstrictors that reduce blood supply to extremities (and genitalia) and, colloquially, shrivel your stuff up.

try some otc ephedrine 30 mg you'll see what I mean (ephedrine is a pretty close analogue to adrenaline). what i'm saying here isnt speculation, its science.

p.s. btw, lots of otc sex aids have some form of herbal relaxers like passion flower or gaba in them.
