Shrinky Dink
Do you know if penises shrink over time? I ask because I swear my penis (when erect) has shrunk in the past five years. Not by a large margin, but somewhere between 3/4 to a full inch. I'm 35 years old, am in good, good shape, I don't take steroids and I've been very careful handling knives and scissors while naked. So what's the deal? Is it a condition? My diet? The soy-based (i.e., estrogen-laced) hand cream I use to masturbate? I am a little perplexed. MICHAEL
Three years ago, I responded to a letter from a man who worried about the effects of phytoestrogens (the ones found in soy) on his sex drive and the possibility that they may produce gynecomastia (male breasts). There's been a lot written about this topic since then, much of it conflicting and confounding to the layperson, but of all the information available, none mentions penis shrinkage.
Now, my understanding of biology and the complexity of hormones is limited, but it seems to me the item most likely to shrink from overexposure to estrogen would be the one that produces 95 per cent of the male hormones in your body -- your nutsack. I figured a good person to ask would be someone who started off biologically male but then became female -- or, more appropriately, shemale -- so I emailed my friend Amanda Taylor.
She said there was no penis shrinkage with her estrogen therapy, and in no other cases she knew. She did confirm nutsack shrinkage, though, but keep in mind that hormone therapy for transwomen involves a lot more than soy-based creams used during self-pollution. "And there is certainly a diminishing of sexual drive at first," she continued, "but this came back after a short time. It was almost painful to orgasm and was uncomfortable when someone tried to please me orally -- I just wanted to slap them in the face. But this also subsided in a month or so. Just my experience, of course. It seems to differ with each individual and the amount being taken."
Bottom line? Though phytoestrogens are different than the ones replicated for therapy or naturally produced (and again, hormones are incredibly complex and people's sensitivity to them varies vastly), they would not be responsible for altering the size of your penis. The impact they would have, if they were having any at all on your sex attributes, would be testicular shrinkage and gynecomastia. It may also interest you to know that even men who have been castrated maintain their size and ability to get an erection.
I then spoke to penile elongation surgeon Dr. Robert Stubbs. Here's what he had to say: "Both penises and vaginas can 'shrink' with age and/or lack of use -- if you do not use it, you lose it. Young men have multiple erections in their sleep. This exercise keeps it stretched. Medical problems with older men, like the effects of smoking, diabetes and fibrosis can directly or indirectly reduce the size." This shrinkage seems more of an atrophying, and is likely not what's happening to you, given the fact that you participate in recreational activities both in and out of the bedroom. Dr. Stubbs then mentioned a condition that I had already begun researching, called koro, or genital retraction syndrome. It is "a condition in which an individual is overcome with the belief that his/her external genitals -- or also, in females, breasts -- are retracting into the body, shrinking, or in some male cases, may be imminently removed or disappear. A penis panic is sometimes a mass hysteria event or panic where males in a population suddenly exhibit symptoms of genital retraction syndrome," says Wikipedia (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_panic for the full poop). Given the timeline of your alleged shrinkage, this is also an unlikely possibility. I do see a variety of cases of penis panic in my own line of work though, since the internet and its vast avenues of misdiagnosis seem to illicit similar reactions to any scrupulously observed and minor change of course.
If you have a regular doctor, I would suggest bringing your concern to his or her attention, and perhaps your doc will recommend you see a urologist. Or maybe just agree with what I think: like most men, you have an elaborate emotional relationship with your penis that involves self-preserving deception and wishful thinking. Perhaps you're looking at it without your lenient goggles these days.
