Flaccid gets bigger with age!?

I remember when I was younger, like in my eary 20s, my penis used to shrivel up to quite a small size, perhaps a couple of inches, whereas now, in my 30s, it seems to remain at a bigger flaccid state most of the time. It seems more “bulky” when flaccid now, along with my ball bag which used to shrivel up along with my penis, now it seems to hang lower and fuller.

I am quite happy with this as I always felt a bit insecure with my flaccid when I was younger. However, I don’t get the huge throbbing erections that I used to in my early 20s anymore. Those ones where it felt like it was on the brink of exploding, but I am happy that my flaccid seems to hang bigger.

This could of course be the effect of PE for the last couple of years, but I feel like something more fundamental has changed within the tissues. For instance, years of erections expanding the tissues eventually making them slightly bigger when flaccid.

I’m in my mid 30s and flaccid is still pretty small for me most days, especially if I go for a run it disappears. Balls are usually always tight against me.

Few days ago I was just thinking about this because every time when I see man around 50yo and older, it seems to me that they have noticeable bigger bulge than younger men. Maybe it is just my imagination or they use to wear different style of jeans/pants that are better for showing bulge.

But for me I do not see much difference between my 20yo flaccid and my. now, 30yo flaccid.

I didn’t notice a difference in my 20’s or 30’s.

I’m sure for some yes but it’s not a real thing.

I’m 65. Haven’t noticed much change in my flaccid over the years UNTIL I started PE. Now my flaccid definitely is longer, in fact it’s almost double what it used to be. I just wish my erect length would also have such spectacular gains.

Agree. Something about the combination of age and PE really helps.

Mine hasn’t, at least so far. Frankly, more flaccid would be more useful than more erect length.

I have noticed that, too and I am pretty sure it is because as you grow older you get more grounded hence more relaxed, tissues are more relaxed so your dick is bigger when flaccid.

Didnt happen for me. My flaccid didnt get larger until I started a PE program.

Technically, it may be all down to suspensory ligaments losing their elasticity over time. Also, several other factors may contribute to longer flaccid like muscle fatigue, testosterone levels decrease and estrogen-induced erectile dysfunction.

A lot of aging effects are due to collagen degeneration. Sagging skin, face, poor gut motility.

It’s likely that the observed better flaccid is a result of these factors. It may also be that PE becomes more effective on the flaccid.

I’m 50 and was thinking over the last few weeks that my entire package was fuller despite my PE activity remaining fairly constant. Erect state no different though I don’t think.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread my flaccid did NOT get longer as I aged. I started PE at the age of 63 and, in just 2 years, my flaccid length has almost doubled (but not my erect length. Sigh…). So I agree with Mr Logan that PE on an older penis causes the flaccid to increase in length without much effort. The same effect doesn’t seem to happen with younger men.

BUT I would much prefer for my erect length to increase this easily. My limited experience with women has been that they don’t really take a critical look at my penis until it is erect. I don’t know how big my flaccid will have to be to get “wow eyes” but I’m not there yet. I’m curious if other guys on this forum have experienced the same female behavior of not giving a flaccid penis much notice but taking a good look when it’s reaching full erect? I had a woman tell me that to her a soft penis was no more interesting than an earlobe.

That’s my observation, too. I started PE 10 years ago. Until then I had the feeling, that my penis had continued to grow a tiny little bit. During those 10 years I did PE very occasionally and not too serious. But with the long breaks in between have good accumulated gains.
