I am 25years old guy, worried about shrinkage of my penis and erection.. my height is 5 feet 10 inches and my weight is 74kgs.. most of the time my penis is in shrinked form about 3inches so i have to adjust it to make it normal but during erection it is about 6 inches. I dont use any thight brief (i use boxers) and no tight fit pants. i am so confused why the shrinkage happens and how to overcome it. Also i feel embrassed when anyone stands near me when i use toilet because of this shrinkage.. and i have doubt whether erection has be 90 degree? because i dont have 90 degree erection.. Doctors kindly help me in this issues. thank you

    All you can do is:

    Dont masturbate too much and dont apply too much pressure when you masturbate.  It can damage the spongy chambers of the penis.

    Be as thin as possible.  Exercise as much as you can.  This will improve blood flow to the penis and will also improve male hormones like testosterone. What you want is more frequent and stronger powerful erections.  These strong powerful long-lasting erections will permanently increase and expand the penis.  

    Also - eat well and get plenty of green vegetables and plants.

      thanks alot james.. will that also increases thickness of semen? because once my friend said me that if the semen is liquid, that person cant last for more time during intercouse.. i ejaculate very soon during intercourse.. and can you please tel me about the erection part.. is it necessary to have 90 degree erection?..

      thank you

    No.  Thickness of semen is not related.  Dont think about that - it isnt important.

    As for lasting long.  Are you circumcised?  That can effect how well you can control ejaculation.

    I wouldnt worry too much about it - just ask your partner if she is bothered by it.  She may not be.

    If you follow my advice you should get stronger erections.  And maybe a bigger penis.  

    By 90 degree -  i think you mean 90 degree or above.  yes it is is preferable to have an erection as strong as possible.  You can tell yourself whether you are hard enough to have sex - you know from your own experience.

      ya i am curicumsised..it is not about whether she is bothered, i have a kind of feeling that i am having intercourse for short time.. tell me how to have stronger erection, definitely i will follow it..

      during erection my penis will be hard enough to have sex but it ll be 90 degree straight.. it will be between flaccid and normal erected penis... like 45 degree i can say

      Hello! Sir/Ma'am, I'm 15 years old and my penis size is 3.5 inches when normal and 6 inches while erected, I don't usually masturbate, but yesterday I did and I kinda feel a bit guilty about it. Can you tell me if it affects my health and will my penis shrink because of this?

    Hi I am a 18 year old male and I am quite a muscular person however I have a small penis, does anyone know how I can deal with this when I have intercourses??.

      Sorry, but there isn't much you can do.  You might not be that small anyway though.  Men tend to assume that the average is a lot larger than it really is.  If you google "NHS penis enlargement", there's a good article about the options, most of which simply don't work.  It includes the following:

      While you can't do much to safely enlarge your penis, men can do several things to make them feel more confident about their body.

      trim your pubic hair – a big mound of pubic hair can make your penis look smaller than it is

      lose weight – a beer belly hanging over your penis can make your penis look smaller

      get fit – getting into shape will not only make you feel more attractive, it could improve your sex life

      Hi Tom, I have the same problem. I'm 35 years old I'm six feet tall (180 cm) and I weigh 75 kgs. Not too muscular yet toned. My penis have never grown as I recall it and when I go to the public pools I'm usually around the size of an 8-9 year old. Normally my penis is 3,5 cm long flaccid and it's around the thickness of my little finger. When errect it is 6 cm long and it is around the thickness of my thumb. I've only been together with two women, and in both cases the girls didn't feel the penetration. I really need some help with my small size. It can also be a little difficult to masturbate. When I'm laying in my bed I can hardly move my two fingers up and down so usually I stand up and masturbate. I've always stuffed my mini slip briefs with a pair of socks then the size looks a bit more real. I hope there will be a surgery one day. 10 cms errect is my biggest dream, I consider it a very nice and satisfying size, and I envy those with a big penis around that size. Plz don't hesitate to feed back if you have any suggestions. I'm willing to try anything to reach 10 cm. Best Regards, Torben, Copenhagen, Denmark.

      If it's 6cm when erect, that would qualify as a micropenis.  There may not be much you can do, but you should see a doctor if you haven't already.

      ?If you search for "NHS penis size", there's a good article, which also links to another good article on penis enlargement treatments (most of them don't work, and some are dangerous).  Testosterone or phalloplasty may help.

      Hi. Thx for your answer. I'm afraid I've tried all kind of enlargement treatments without any luck. My penis is definately a micro penis. Even my nuts have started to retract for hours after cycling eventhough I'm wearing spacious briefs. Then my "package" is roughly the size of a small plum. It helps to talk about it. I don't flash my penis to everyone but I'm not afraid to stand by it. Hopefully it will change someday. BR.

    hey man, did you solve the 90 degree erection?

    This is an old thread, but I have to disagree with some of the earlier answers:

    1) Masturbating less frequently won't make your penis smaller, and if you're just using your hand, it's almost impossible to damage the spongy chambers of the penis (the "corpora cavernosa"wink.  Penis pumps can do that, but that's a reason not to use them.

    2) Having more frequent and stronger erections won't result in any permanent increase in penis size.

    3) There doesn't seem to be much correlation between circumcision and premature ejaculation, but the effect isn't what most people expect.  Frisch 2011, Tang & Khoo 2011, Denniston 2004, and O'Hara & O'Hara 2002 all found that circumcised men were more likely to suffer from PE.  PE is usually quite easy to solve, and often fixes itself with aging anyway.

    Some other things:

    I'm not aware of any connection between thickness of semen and PE, and semen is supposed to liquefy to an almost watery consistency within about 5-10 minutes anyway.

    Wearing tight or loose underwear won't affect your size.

    There are several drugs that help with ED (eg Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra), but I that doesn't seem to be an issue here.

    If you're 3" soft and 6" hard, you simply don't have a problem though.  Neither of those seems short, and it's normal for a penis to be shorter when it's soft than when it's hard, and that can happen to a greater or lesser extent depending on whether you're a "grower" or a "shower".  Don't try to compare yourself with male porn actors, since they're clearly not typical, and even the men who seem keen for everyone to see their equipment in the gym will typically be larger than normal (and some of them may be gay men hoping for action).

    It isn't clear what you mean by a 90 degree erection, but the "angle of the dangle" for a man standing up can vary from vertical to below horizontal.  It isn't unusual for the angle to drop as the man gets older.
