Hey all,

I hope everybody is well. So I decided to come here for some advice. The first picture attached was me 15 years ago (6.5x 5.25 bone pressed). Not huge, but impressive. The second pic is me currently and 30 lbs. heavier(5.5 x 5). I know weight does a lot. But I've noticed my stamina is shit these days and i can't hold an erection at all, unless it's morning wood. My flaccid length was usually around 4" is now around 2.5 to 3". I generally stroke it every day to an erection, whether i cum or just edge ..depends.

Is this all in my head? You can see I''ve gone from a solid 6.5" down to a 5" in length. I would think stroking it daily would help keep size and help with erections, but maybe not? Is there a way to build size back? Is it permanent? I'm currently in process to lose 20 lbs. of the 30. Won't be able to get back down that far to my college days. I'm starting to be very self conscious about it, even my wife makes jokes about me being tiny.

Not sure if this should have gone into the enlargement thread, but figured this was where I should start? I don't notice any pain or discomfort or curving, so I don't think it's peyronies. I just hope it's not permanent from scar tissue (i wouldn't know why)

Thanks

I feel pretty normal, but I suppose it could be low T? I'm hoping it's just the weight gain, because i'm fixing that, but i do have some issues with keeping the erection and lasting longer than 5-10 minutes.

I've found recently kegels daily help strengthen my erection.
I was having some erection issues in both the bedroom and outside such as going soft when jerking or soft as Im about to penetrate.

Mine was likely a combo of stress, anxiety, condom size but I've started doing kegels daily and found that my erection quality has improved a lot.

I don't know if i need to stop wearing underwear or what, but flacid i barely can get it past my zipper of my jeans. I used to hang nice..but now it's like a chode...like i'm always in cold water. I'm hoping it's my weight issue, but i'm really kind of concerned about it but dont' know that i wanna see a doctor just yet.

As far as I know the penis does not shrink. What can happen, though, is that internal fat moves your skin further from the pelvic bone and therefore further from where the base of your penis is anchored. That means more of your penis is now inside and less of it outside so it seems shorter. If you lost weight you should find that lost length re-appears.

As for the ED, it's hard to say whether that is due to weight, or whether it's due to age and, as we age, we also tend to put on weight. But ED can certainly be related to general health and keeping control of your weight will probably improve your general health and may therefore help with the erections.

I'm good with that, as long as there isn't something glaring that should seek medical attention. I would imagine, losing weight and not jerking it so much will help. Didn't know if there were any other things i should do to try and restore some size both flaccid and erect (maybe a pump)?
