Shrinkage...Does it affect everyone?

Hi all,

Just got back from a holiday in the sun and spent a day at Wet & Wild amongst other things.

Now my story begins with the fact that I suffer from shrinkage big time!!! It’s kinda weird because I have what could be call a shower dick (it looks ok when conditions are nice and warm) but get outside in a pool or down the beach and it’s like the boys don’t want to come out and play at all!!!

Do we all suffer this curse or do some guys maintain flaccid in circumstances like these?

I saw this one dude cruising around in speedo’s chin up high and proud of a 5-6’ flaccid thick package there for all to see. One a side note, even if I had a huge flaccid I would feel uncomfortable showing it off in such an obvious manner, but that’s me. I though this guy must have a massive dick or he doesn’t suffer from shrinkage at all. I say he must have a massive dick as my 5” flaccid disappears to around 1” and no balls!!! so what’s a 5” cool day dick got in kinder conditions?

I even though he might be wearing a ring of some kind but quickly threw that theory out as it would have to be regularly maintained and not an all day thing. Maybe this guy was packing a serious wand but there seemed to be heaps of speedo’s clad chaps happy to let everyone see what was on offer…me no way, I’d look more like a chick with those things on.

Curious to see what other have experienced.

Some are showers, others are growers. After PE though, I noticed that both my “normal” flaccid and “cold water” flaccid penis is bigger. But the latter is almost embarrasing compared to when I’m not bathing - critical shrinking. :p But as you PE you will have a bigger penis in all ways.

That sentence right there is the secret to your, and my and others, shrinkage problem. Aside from the cold issue, there is the brain issue. I really think that if you are comfortable showing it off, your brain allows you to do it, but when your brain says I am afraid to let it show, it retreats.

I have been practicing letting the full flaccid size be around all day, and it really helps. So try working on it to see if you can’t make improvements. Let it all hang out!!!

Skeptdick,

I experience shrinkage of my dick to the “cold water” flaccid size at certain times. It can be embarrassing, but not as much as before when it use to turtle neck to an acorn. This happened in my pre-PE days before last July (2003).

It was this flaccid problem that motivated me in my PE quest. I started at 5 3/4 BPEL and now am over 7 1/4 BPEL, however I am still a grower and not a shower. So when I reach 8” this year (I hope) and my “cold flaccid” is still not acceptable to me, I will increase my goal to 9”

I have to agree with Gprent that a lot of it is in your brain too. Since I have more confidence these days I do sport the “normal flaccid” most of the day where it use to be the other way around.

Since I quit out on the PE this year, my flaccid shrink has been more extreme than I even remember it pre-pe. But then again, I started PE a long, long time ago, who who knows, maybe my memory is distorted or something weird.

Definately shows more when you are actively thrashing the bastard.

I have also a horrible shrinkage after swimming and sports. My normal flaccid is just a bit over 3 in length, but after swimming/ sports it is even smaller. What gprent wrote about the brain issue is so true as well. When I feel good and comfortably my flaccid is much better than under circumstances where I am afraid off showing it.

I reckon most men have that problem.

Yeah, what others have already said about psychological issues.

You just shouldn’t think about your dick that much going out in public. It makes at least a 1” difference in my case, if I think about how I look down there, but I don’t get that so often anymore, because I’m much more comfortable with my penis. (thanks to PE)

I’ve always disliked the idea of it being visible, but nowadays I’m not too bothered.

I noticed a good increase in flaccid hang when I did lots of hot water towel warmups followed by jelqing. That made a huge difference.

Also I think regular stretches all day help to train it to stay longer all day. I still feel the heat and the jelqing did the most work though.

Quite a difference these days as I’ve had to abandon one pair of jeans that were light in colour and quite tight around the crotch, far too blatant for my liking!

I somehow think it’s healthier to let it hang down rather than curl it all up around your balls like it’s some kind of nest or something. I don’t sweat as much down there either when it’s hanging in the breeze. Remember, men, most people are not out there checking out your crotches. Do what you feel comfortable with.

I agree that it is a psychological thing. When I’m laid back, pool or no pool, shower or no shower, junior is hanging full. I guess the expression, “Let it all hang out,” applies in this case.

hey skepdick

I suffer from shrinkage pretty badly i feel. Whenever i get out of the shower i never look down at my dick. Same aplies for getting changed when its cold, what to do eh?

Some interesting points of view in the replys.

The theme seems to be most suffer from some form of shrinkage.

I agree that in certain conditions our mind does play a role in how our dick looks….it’s crazy but true and I do feel that anxiety makes my dick flaccid smaller from time to time. Having said that, the difference is slight compared to what a cold pool or ocean does for me.

I was swimming for an hour or so with no girls in chest deep water where no one could see the gear and had the worst shrinkage know to man!! No bullocks and thank nature for a fore skin or I would have gone inverted. To me that says my anxiety has nothing to do with it as all I was worried about was catching waves???

I have been PE’ing for a couple of years as a hard gainer with only 1/2 inch length and 1/4 to 1/2 inch girth and enjoy the rewards as my flaccid is great in Utopian conditions. I play a lot of sport and get plenty of tong in cheek comments from my mates about my shower dick. I am quick to add that it doesn’t change much when it get’s hard but does disappear when it gets cold.

I’m not sure what the moral of this thread is, maybe it will become apparent to me soon….I’ve has a beer or 3 and feel I write crap some times 8-)

It is upsetting when my dick shrinks down to 2 1/2 inches, either from stress, swimming, whatever.

But if you think about it, the human body tends to do things for certain reasons, the most important of which is self-preservation. Could it be a protection mechanism? The penis is a reproductive organ, and if it’s damaged, then there’s no more spreading of our genes, and our lineage ends. No perpetuation of the species. It’s already overly exposed being that we’re bipedal. The only way to protect the penis is to pull as much of it into the body as possible.

I don’t know. Just a thought, I guess. Maybe I’m reaching here.

Skepdick,

What were your starting stats? Also what is the difference in your normal flaccid and you erect state?

I am definitely a grower. I sport about a 4-4 1/2 flaccid (my cold flaccid can get down to 2 1/2) but I grow about 3” with an erection.

Ha!

Hot babes, MILFs, old grannies, the friggin paper boy, lill kids in strolers…those guys in the hellicopter…

Oh yes my friend, they are all scoping out my unit! Sometimes I’m afraid to even go out and get the paper. Shite! The d*mn cat is looking at me while I type!

Ophios

My starting stats were approx 6.9”-7” bpel and 4.9”-5” girth.

Utopian flaccid is around 5” with shrinkage flaccid about 1.5 to 2”.

Today I am around 7.5” bpel and 5.25” girth after nearly two years with rarely a day missed where the package has not received some sort of stretch, tug, squeeze or pump.

I’m a slow gainer but not deterred as I love what little I have gained and so does my wife 8-)

Later
Skep.
