Title: Question about shriveled lifeless penis
Post by: olowshinenine on March 15, 2023, 03:14:18 PM
37 male, slightly overweight, non smoker social drinker. Gym 2 or 3 times a week. Limited sugar intact. Limited fast food maybe 2 times a week. Last Testosterone test was 420
for my entire life I had strong erections and high libido. For the past year my penis is constantly in a small shriveled lifeless state. Its like no blood is going to it. Hot showers bring it back to life. However my libido has gradually disappeared over this past year too. When I first met my wife I was constantly seeking sex with her. However that desire has disappeared.

Additionally I have been diagnosed with peyroines. The penile pain started a few months ago.

Is the shriveled lifeless penis a direct result of low libido?

I would look into low dose cialis.  Helped with my pain and desire

You sound percisely like me. This is common among other men. I have a urologist appointment in May and I am going to tell him this and see what he says about it. I am not overweight. Quite fit, non smoker non drinker. Prior to this disease my penis always had a nice warm plump flaccid hang, I am sure you can relate. Nowadays the flaccid state differs constantly throughout the day. Sometimes it shrivels turtles or however you wanna put it so badly that it nearly looks like I have a micropenis. The bloodflow gets completely cut off.

While other times at the day it can hang nice and warm. I do not know why this happens. My only logical guess would be that the scarring inside our penis prevents good bloodflow even in it's flaccid state. Could also be that the anxiety about the disease makes our bodies produce abnormal amounts of adrenaline and we go into a constant state of fight or flight. The muscle responsible for shriveling the penis and balls is the cremaster muscle. Might be that the anxiety or stress causes it to go into a hyperactive state.
