Why Is My Dick Shrinking

The past 2-4 weeks I’ve noticed that my dick is shrinking.

I wanted to start PE sometime soon, but I’m not sure what the problem is, and wouldn’t want to do further damage.

I know there could be alot of different reasons why this may be happening, so I’ll break it down for you, and hopefully some of you more experienced PE’ers can brainstorm on this one:

Potential Problems:

A.) increased stress (the past month or so, and especially the past few weeks, I’ve experienced a little more stress than usual. The job, and then I’m in the process of trying to move out of a bad living arrangement at home)

B.) not working out (I hadn’t been working out, not even playing basketball like I usually do.)

C.) increased masturbation (not only have I been jerking off more frequently the past few weeks, but the way I do it might be a problem. I massage the shaft rather than “milking” it. I figure I could have pressed too hard and temporarily dulled the nerves; like when a kickboxer takes alot of kicks to the leg, that leg will eventually give way because the nerves have been numbed out).

D.) pills (I started taking L-Arginine about 2-3 weeks ago. I started off with only 500 mg the first few days, then upped it to 1000, and then to 1500. I know Arginine is supposed to have a positive effect on bloodflow and all, but maybe I’m having an adverse reaction to it?? Maybe taking them not on an empty stomach has some sort of negative effect?)

Note:

I just started working out 2 days ago by the way. And I’m gonna try and cut off as much masturbation as possible, and if I do it, I’m not gonna massage like usual.

Shrinking as in flaccid or erect state?

Could it be turtling or psychological?

I’m definitely not making it up.

The tissue is more hardened and shrunken than normal when flaccid, and when hard I’ve noticed girth loss and maybe a little length loss too.

I haven’t been doing PE, so it’s not from overtraining (although could be from over-masturbation).

Psychological?

Maybe from stress, but I’ve been through similar stress before without having this happen.

If I had to pick from the reasons you listed, I say that this is probably the main reason.

I pick this:

When I jerk off my cock can be 0.5cm smaller for a few days.

This could also effect it if your measuring NBPEL

Probably a combination of A, B and C

I’ve no idea what arginine does to you, no help there. But I’m with JAPP. You have a stressful situation at home and you are moving out - as in divorce or moving away from difficult parents? If you are breaking up a relationship then I can full well understand just about any adverse bodily reaction.

Well, the thing is I’ve dealt with the same stress in the past.

But for the past 6 months I was away at college, so maybe it’s new to me again?

Arginine is basically a precursor to NO (that’s nitric oxide). It’s supposed to increase bloodflow in your body, and alot of PE pills contain it.

I’ve taken it before, but stopped because I found out when coupled with Ornithine, it creates testosterone in your body, which I didn’t want.

So far I’m trying to cut down on jerking, and when I do, to not do it the way I’ve been. I’ve experienced this sort of shrinkage in the past before, at college, so I’m not sure the stress is the main culprit.

I might also stop taking the Arginine, although I’ve never read about any adverse reactions to it.

Ya I’m inclined to believe that it’s from over-masturbation mixed with too hard of kegels.

This isn’t the first time it happened.

Sad thing is I can’t remember exactly what I did to offset it.

I’m not too worried about it though. It’ll turn itself around. I think I’m worrying more because of the extra stress.

L-arginine can lead or contribute to pre-hypertension = high blood pressure. That will cause penis problems!

It’s ironic you mention that b/c I just finished glancing over some evidence that suggests arginine can actually hurt bloodflow after it’s effects wear off.

Safe to say I just threw out my pills.

Any allergy medication has the potential to shrivel up the old unit. Especially those containing decongestants that narrow blood vessels. They really screw me up at times. MXL

I’m gonna stop taking the Arginine.

Other than that, I just started taking Whey powder and fish oil. But the problem has been around for atleast a few weeks now so I doubt they’re involved.

Hey guys listen:

I quit my job earlier this week (for reasons other than just stress), stopped taking Arginine, and joined the gym.

But I’ve still been jurking off around 1-2 times every other day, sometimes every day, and my shrunken state hasn’t been rectified.

I’m guessing the my original guess was right —- I need to cut back on jurking off bigtime. Alot of times even when I’m soft, my dick hangs less and is less plump, and the tissue underneath isn’t soft and plump but rather more shriveled and tough.

Any thoughts on all that?

My dicks gone back to it’s original pre-P.E size. Once I convince Ms Mommy that me having a twelve by eight is a good idea, I’ll start jelqing vigorously again :)

I’m curious, how old are you?
