Many men are concerned about the size of their penises. They may compare them to the size of their partner or other men. They may also be worried that their penis is getting shorter.
However, it is important to understand that a man’s penis size has nothing to do with his sexual ability or sex appeal. There are several reasons why your penis could be skinny.
Medications
Many medications cause the penis to shrink or become shorter. This is most common with medications that contain vasoconstrictors. This reduces blood flow to the penis and makes it smaller while erect. This includes some pain relievers, decongestants and cold medicines. It can also occur with some anti-depressants and sedatives. It is important to know if your prescriptions are causing this and talk to your doctor if they do.
It is not unusual for men to notice that their penis look shorter than normal, especially during cold weather or when they are anxious. However, there is usually nothing to worry about and it will not have any impact on sex life.
Some men may find that their dick looks smaller because of a medical condition called Peyronie’s disease. It is a painful condition that causes the penis to become crooked and brittle over time due to fibrous tissue forming in the corpora cavernosa of the penis. The good news is that it can be treated with medication, injections and sex toys. There is no treatment to make the dick grow bigger, but Kegel exercises can delay ejaculation and allow for longer penile penetration during intercourse.
Age
Like the rest of the body, the penis changes with age. Most of these changes are harmless but some may impact sexual function. The penis grows most during puberty, which can happen at any time between the ages of 9 and 15. By the end of puberty, a guy’s penis has reached its expected size. The aging process can cause the penis to shrink in length or become slimmer due to decreased blood flow in the area. A decrease in testosterone can also cause a thinner appearance to the penis and scrotum. Some men have a condition called Peyronie’s disease, which develops when scar tissue builds up in the tunica albuginea sheath that fills with blood during an erection.
This can lead to a curved erection that some guys call a buried penis. The buried penis looks tiny and can make it harder to find during sex. While this can be embarrassing for some people, it is not a medical emergency. It is still possible to have a great sex life with toys, oral sex and other techniques.
Weight
It’s no secret that weight can cause many health issues and reduce the quality of life. However, few people realize that obesity can also have an impact on a man’s penis size.
Although the average penis girth is around 4 to 5 inches when erect, many men have slimmer or shorter penises than this. This is often caused by fat deposits in the pubic area, also known as suprapubic fat. This fat can cause a lot of problems, including urological issues and can also interfere with orgasms and sex.
While this can be a frustrating problem, there are ways to overcome it. Many men find that using sex toys and oral sex is more satisfying than trying to achieve an orgasm with a skinny penis. Moreover, there are surgical options for enlarging the penis, and these can be quite effective.

Sex Toys
Sex toys add extra stimulation to key erogenous zones like the clit and clit hood. Try a vibrator or clit teaser to get the juices flowing (and make sure to use lots of lube). These toys are ideal for internal masturbation and for assisting during partner sex. They are also great for foreplay. They are not a good idea for standard missionary penis-in-vagina sex, though.
There is no “normal” size or shape for a penis, and a skinny one is totally fine. It’s just a matter of personal preference and what feels best for you.
A thin penis can be difficult for some people to penetrate, especially if you are prone to premature ejaculation. A pre-ejaculation suppressant can help. It also helps to wear a thong, use a lot of lube, and stay relaxed during penetration. This can help prevent pressure and friction that can cause pain after penetration. A kegel ball can also be helpful for a thin penis. It strengthens the pelvic floor muscles and stimulates the clit and clit horn. It can also create sensations during penetration.
Surgery
If the penis looks skinny because of excess fat in the pubic area (called suprapubic fat) that masks the penile shaft and glans, then a surgery to remove the extra fat can increase penile size. However, it’s important to talk to a doctor that has experience with this type of surgery as it is not without risks.
Men with extremely thin penises sometimes have a condition called Peyronie’s disease. This is caused by the formation of fibrous tissue in the corpora cavernosa, which are two blood-filled chambers that enlarge during an erection. It is a painful and embarrassing condition.
There are several nonsurgical penis enlargement treatments on the market. But they’re not proven to be safe or effective and may contain dangerous ingredients. Men can also get a better sex life by using toys and practicing oral sex, and by staying healthy. In addition, it is important to talk to your partner and learn what he likes and doesn’t like about your penis. That’s more likely to improve your relationship than going under the knife or getting a product that makes your penis look bigger.
