Hourglass dick

I have been doing PE for about one month now and my flaccid unit is in the shape of an hour glass throughout the day.

The base is normal, then about an inch up my shaft it starts to thin out, then right underneath the glans it gets fat again.

Anyone know why this could be happening?

No, I don’t know why that happens, but I don’t think it is a serious issue.

That also happens to me sometimes during the day and also after swimming it stays like that for a really, really long time. I’d like to know some info on it too.

Jelqing when flaccid?

Mine is the same. Albeit not to a great degree. I measure my girth by measuring (base + mid-shaft + behind glans) / 3 and it seems mid-shaft is always 1/8” less than my glans and 3/8” less than base.

As far as I know it’s always been that way. Definitely nothing to worry about.

I think it’s from jelqing when flaccid because a few months before I found this site with vids I jelqed a little and I realize now I was doing it too flaccid but since when I’m flaccid it has that shape.

It’s been a while but it’s starting to go back to normal and as long as it doesn’t look like that when ur hard who cares

That is when mines hard. But it is impossible to tell… at least with me it is.

It’s like one big built in ridge :D

Hey donpatch84,

It’s crazy you ask this as I was just thinking today about posing a similar question. In my case it is not PE related as I have had this all my life. Maybe in your case it is an increase in flaccid length? It’s weird, sometimes when I get cold, I get such an hourglass I can hardly piss.

Anyway, I really don’t think there is any need for concern. For myself, I am glad you asked as it answers my question, others do experience this.

Good luck,

MD

Hourglass shape

Yep, mine is also like a hourglass. Then again, it kind of always has been like that. Since the stretch and increase in base girth this effect is becoming more visual. I hope that adding pumping in my routine will even it out.

Thanks for all the replies. I don’t jelq while flaccid, I try to keep it anywhere from a 50-80% range throughout each session. I also just started upping my number of jelqs but started holding back on how much force I applied. It seems now that I think about it, that it started happening when I upped the number but decreased the pressure.

Any ideas?

I think that hourglass dick is the result of injury. Mine is, anyway. When I was young, I bent my erect penis in half in a stupid attempt to fix a slight curvature. Immediately after doing this, my penis took on the hourglass shape when flaccid. The narrowed area is where I bent my penis in half.

I tried jelqing a few years ago, and this made the pinch more obvious. The pinched area did not respond to growth.just the base and upper shaft did. It’s like the sponge cells that respond to growth from PE exercises have been damaged somehow in that area.

When erect, the pinch is not noticeable, though. It’s visible when flaccid, but not all the time. It’s also visible sometimes when my penis is half engorged, and this really looks strange, since the girth above and below the pinch is accentuated. Eventually, though, when the erection takes, the pinch finally fills in. Also, when flaccid, if I bend my penis back on itself, it automatically folds easiest in the area that was damaged, whether or not the pinch is apparent at the time. It’s like the cartilidge or the cells have been weakened somehow.

Another guy on here got hourglass dick from hanging a 15 lb weight near the base of his penis.the pinch occurred where he hung the weight. Others, like you, talk about hourglass after jelqing. It would seem logical, though, that if yours is like mine, that you must have squeezed really hard in the area that is now pinched. If not, I don’t know how yours came about.

Right now, I’m trying a device called phallosan to fix the curve that I was trying to fix at the time of my injury. Hopefully, the stretching the device uses will also stimulate cell growth in the pinched area as well, but I’m skeptical about that.

We should probably just ask a urologist. I’m sure that they’ve seen it all, and know what has been damaged. Or google, “hourglass” and “penis”. Good luck.

I would like to reactivate this thread

Are there any members that have experienced this?

I’ve been dealing with this, and I’m curious if this has any correlation with gains or limiting factor?

I have an hourglass erect. From the top it looks more baseball-ish but from the side it’s noticably thicker at the base and looks more cone like.

I’d rather have that than a thick base and thinner shaft personally but it makes measuring weird.

At the base I’m probably around 5.25 with a vinyl tape, 4.9 at mid and 5.2 3/4 up and around 5 at the very top and back to 5.2 glans. It’s strange to write that out haha, but that’s what it is. I suspect that the CC is the first to gain girth at the base and my once baseball bat gained most at the base.

Doesn’t really look strange to me and I think there are some benefits to upper shaft and head girth. There are also benefits to being much larger at th lower part of the dick, so work with what you have!
