I have been holding this question in for a long time with nowhere to turn and noone to ask. I have recently started having a relationship with an old flame. The time frame of intimacy between us have been about 10 years. I definitely remember him being a lot larger in the penis department. It seems to have shrunk a couple of inches. Anybody ever heard of this phenomena?

Hi btoj123, welcome!

I think the male erection can shrink with age. There could be several reasons, a disease, or from lack of use, use it or lose it. As with women the genitals age with the rest of the body so I think it's natural to assume there may be some loss with age. Depending on age and the circumstances it might be possible for him to get some of it back with use. Let us know if that happens, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

Hi Btoj:


I have NOT heard of a penis changing by 2".
