Non-hereditary causes of small penis

My dad has an above-average-sized penis. My two brothers have HUGE penises. My other brother has a small penis. I believe I had the smallest.

I’ve often thought about this and have come to some clarifications that defy mainstream thought. For example, what if everyone in your family has big penises, but you don’t? this makes me think that it may NOT be merely a genetic issue. I’m not saying that heredity isn’t a factor. If you have three generations of small penises, then you probably will have a small penis. But what about the exceptions to this? This is what I’d like to share my thoughts on and welcome your feedback.

Here are some theories of mine that can cause a smaller penis:

PERMANENT STATE OF FEAR
When the average man is in a fear mode, there is a natural retraction of the penis. But what if growing up, you are a sensitive, high-strung, worrying type of kid. It’s not that you are actually in fear, but the high stress/adrenaline becomes your norm. So I believe that physiologically, parts of your body mold into this and become permanent. For example, cold hands, sunken chest, shallow breathing, rapid heartbeat, quick reflexes, light sleeper, high alert and … retracting penis, becomes a normal, constant way of life.

SLEEPING IN FETAL POSITION
Notice how much of your penis goes inside your body and then comes out when you fluctuate between a fetal position and flat, or even reverse-fetal (arch back). Is it possible that by sleeping all curled up, You could be “training” for the permanent “turtle effect?”

MENTALLY WANTING A SMALL PENIS
Since I can remember I’ve had a varicocele. These are varicose veins that are in the scrotum. It’s not painful, but it is weird-looking. Now that I’m an adult, it’s more proportional, but having a left-testicle the size of an tennis ball on a 10 year old is very embarrassing and awkward. My whole life I’ve been uncomfortable sitting because the inseam of normal pants cuts into my scrotum and feels too tight. I only recently, finally found the kind of underwear that is loose yet supportive. Anyway, I specifically remember when I was a kid wishing for a smaller penis! I really understand how our subconscious will create our reality. So in a way, I may have willed my penis to be small!

EMOTIONAL FEAR OF MANHOOD
My dad was a “man’s man” and leaned towards the domineering side. Sometimes he would blow up for no reason and yell or hit. We have a fantastic relationship now. But I’ve often wondered if I may have said to myself that I don’t want to be like that. And in thinking that, I wonder if I subconsciously put “I don’t want to have a big penis” in the same thought (equating big penis with masculine dominance.)

CONSTANT ERECTIONS
Even though my penis was small, I frequently had erections. Not understanding why this was (as a kid), I do remember wishing they would stop and that my penis would not be hard and that it would be smaller. I don’t know if I had erections more often than any other boy, but it really, really bothered me. Prior to understanding these things, I really felt that there was something wrong with me.

LARGE TESTICLES PREVENT DOWNWARD ANGLE
Another theory I have is that the weight of the penis itself will tend to cause it to stretch on it’s own, without pulling, just from normal movement. But if the balls are large at an early age, the penis shaft, even when non-erect, is in a constant state of aiming upward, especially while sitting. So in this situation, gravity is not doing its job to pull the shaft downward, so the natural “stretch” never occurs!

I’m mentioning these things because, aside from physical manipulation, I wonder if working on these other issues later in life will enhance or complement the other PE work. Your thoughts?

All your siblings have the same parents?

Yes.

This is not strictly a valid inference, but I would agree with you that there are probably some environmental factors that affect dick size significantly. Prenatal hormone levels (in utero, that is) may make a difference, as may anything that affects hormones during puberty.

My Grandfather (who’s passed on), Dad and Cousin are all larger then me in that department so at least you are not alone…

PERMANENT STATE OF FEAR is the only thing that I could maybe believe, I doubt your penis would get any smaller just because you are telling your mind that you dont want it big. Kind of interesting though.

Couldn’t it just be a trick of fate in the genetics lottery? For instance, I have four cousins, three of which have very light blonde hair and one has very dark red. I have no doubt they have the same two parents. I know another set of four brothers who all have nearly identical facial features. Three are over 6” 5”, the other is about 5’ 9”. You mihgt be making this too complicated.

It is definitely complex.

Many of the issues listed are fairly common neuroses, fears or magnified concerns. The way they are focused on your gentalia … Well, in my mind the question of your focus might just be related to the ‘tennis ball’ you described coupled with the comparison to your brothers. Sort of underlines the differences.

You really small? Or is it that you’ve identified yourself as different and inadequate for a long time? Perhaps that is something you could let go of? A habit you could afford to drop?

Regardless of PE, I mean.

Excellent ideas bennett8.

One that I’ve come up with is POSITION OF SLEEP.

We all know that the human body repairs itself while we sleep. Also, the penis goes through 3-6 erections a night as well. These erections help give fresh blood and nutrients to the penis. But, I also believe, that when we are in puberty, this is when our penile growth occurs as well. I usually sleep on my stomach. As a result, this sleep position could hinder the penis from getting 100% erect and thus, hinder gains as well. I think that if you sleep on your side or back, it would give your penis more room to get erect, and thus grow.

I think it’s because you didn’t eat your broccoli when you were a kid.

… as for the fetal position thing, I’m about 99.9% sure that’s just a simple matter of pelvic angle. Your penis, as measured from pelvic attachment to glans tip, doesn’t change length when you get in the fetal position, but the attachment points in the pelvis rotate back, causing your unit to pull inside.

It’s the same principle behind the fact that most guys measure themselves 1/2” longer when they’re sitting. THere, the pelvis rotates forward, pushing the attachment points out and causing more of the penis to be revealed.

quik4life: Thanks for your input on this. I used to sleep strickly on my stomach when I was a kid. Interesting.

Yes, it sounds like I’m neurotic, I know. Really, I’m not down on my body or my penis. I’ve already gained more than two inches in length. I’m just curious about these things. My interest is finding ways to increase the size of my penis and I’m looking in every aspect of my life, in additional to physical manipulation (PE). This is why I’m looking back and considering these things with the idea of reversing them. For example, if my nature is high strung/stressed, maybe I should really learn how to breath deeper and just enjoy life. I’ve come a long way on this in general, but I’m saying maybe I need to let go even more.

How can the same parents give birth to three boys, two being 6’6”, one being 5’8”? How can two midget parents have a normal sized child? How can the same parents give birth to two children, one with straight hair, the other curly? One with extreme balding patterns, the other not?

I think it is no different than any other characteristic - it is all in the mystery of genetics. Nothing more, nothing less.

It simply happens.

Well said. Hughjorgan.

And well done bennett8.

It’s all just food for thought.

Personally, I’m eating cookies. Chocolate Chip - so you see where I’m coming from.

You are doing very well, don’t mind me. It’s sometimes good to stop and appreciate what’s going well.

Carry on.
