Do mens cocks get smaller with age?

[Tickled Pink]

Just wondering as I recently met up with someone I was with over 20 years ago and his cock was definitely alot smaller than I remembered!

I mean ok, he has put on some weight, had a vasectomy and is taking various medications, but I had trouble even finding it!!!! Bless, didn't mind too much - he has a fantastic tongue still! LOL!

But, back to the subject, does it shrink the older you get?

It depends on health, blood flow, and the amount of fat that hides the penis.

 

[D_g8uohp]

I read somewhere that it gets 10% smaller but I can't see that making a huge difference. Maybe in your head you remembered it being bigger than it actually was?

Actually, I don't think it is less when erect, but as we age we don't spring those erections and semi-hards that we used to get. The important thing, of course, is: Does it all work whan and as needed? I rejoice always in my continued vitality!

Not really. It does not get as hard when you are old as it did when you were in your prime. Therefore it doesn't stretch full size. But I'm 74, and with the help of a tab of viagra my cock goes all the way out in length and girth, the same 8" its always been.

I have lost about 1/2 inch in length in the last couple years

For me personally, my cock does not seem to have shrunk. I think it has a lot to do with one's physical condition, and one's weight. I am still close to the weight I was when I was in my 20's, so I still look the same in the cock dept. Also I think it depends how frequently one masturbates, I find that if prevented from doing so , even for a couple of days, I seem to be smaller.
Physical condition is at the top, though. It takes a lot of motivation to stay in shape.
Oh yes, there has been a lot of studies done about the detrimental effects of smoking on cock size.

I am now in my 60s and erections are not as hard. In my 40s my erection stretched my head very tight, with the ridge around the helmet almost disappearing, and my length was over 9". Now my erections are still strong but not so hard that it stretches my head in that way. Now my erect length is about 1" shorter but my cock when flacid or semi is no different. Maybe if I used Viagra I would get that 1" back but I see no need to do that.

 

[D_CountdeGrandePinja]

Not in my case - as Petergroot mentioned - staying good physical condition is vital no matter what age you are.

Age is a factor as is is overall health. But, if there are any problems it is best to see the urologist about it. That was how both the doctor and I discoverd that I had andropause - low testosterone - and was a candidate for testosterone replcement therapy.

You said he was on medication... If he has blood pressure problems this could be a part of his "problem". It's not as if it can shrink, but lack of blood flow to his penis could cause a weaker erection and not filling to its full potential. That said, I know a guy who is my age (46) and he said because of his blood pressure medication, his penis "is" smaller than it used to be. I would say it was maybe a 1/2 inch or so shorter and not as full.

 

[Tickled Pink]

Thanks for all your replys chaps, appreciated! He dosen't smoke but yes he does take blood pressure pills. However, this did not stop him coming three times in two hours and he satisfied me totally! Part of that was, though, that we have this amazing love for each other that has never gone away.

Anyway, I think I agree that it also has to do with weight and health etc but whether regular masturbation is relevent is unclear - maybe we should run a 10 year survey with all the men keeping a record of how many times they do it and what their size is now and in 10 years time!!! LOL!

Did you know, you can pull a flaccid penis to the length it will be when hard?
The belly fat causes the penis to appear shorter, this is why a true measurement is called bone pressed, meaning pushing the ruler in at the top of the penis until it hits solid bottom.
My cock is the same length although it's wider than it used to be by about an inch. I have always though it was from all the hand use though the years.
I'm just passing on a few things I've picked up to help you out.

 

[Tickled Pink]

Even if it gets smaller, does it work as well?

Do men’s cocks get smaller with age?

Mine seems to be the same size but it has a lot to do with one's physical condition, and one's weight. When I put on a few pounds a few years back the extra fat gave the impression of a shrunken penis e.g. the belly fat causes the penis to appear shorter. My erections are still strong but maybe not so hard. My vasectomy has had no affect on my penis size or erections.

 

[basque9]

I will soon be 78 and I see no loss whatsoever in either flaccid or erect size. What I do notice is that erections are not as frequent and they do not last as long; but , erections are just as hard as when I was young. I am in peak physical condition and that is the whole reason why I can make these claims.

 

[deleted136887]

You be the man![Basue9]
I use you as a role model for when I will be 60, never mind 78!
Keep it up!

 

[D_Ernest Porknine]

I think mine has gotten bigger!

 

[scottredleter]

Use it or loose it. Mine has gotten bigger over the years from pulling and tugging and tieing it up with boot laces... I don't have pics of myself naked when I was a teen, but I'll bet if I could go back in time, that I would find that my dick is a good 1/2 to 1" longer and thinker too (no guess for that one).
Some people have this mind set that sex stops at a certain age... certainly health issues will affect your sex life at any age, but if you stay healthy and curious about life and sex and the world around you can keep tugging on that baby for an entire life time...

I read the cock gets a little (almost unnoticable) bigger with aging, due to the stretching of the swelling bodies. Off course this doesnt outweigh the aging of the postate, which gives less hard erections, thus smaller erections. Viagra should take care of this "problem". Of course smoking doesnt help.


And what might be the biggest factor in appearing smaller, is that most men (and women) put on weight when getting older.
The fatty tisue can make a penis look even a few inches smaller. If you think about it, an inch thick layer of fat is easily acquired. If a guy has "only" 5" inches this would reduce his length with 20%!!!!

If there was ever a reason to get/stay in shape, then it would be the size of your cock!

Men! Get out those running shoes!!
