Penis size and changes

Why does my penis seem to change size during the course of a day? I would say normally I measure 2 - 3 inches in length then it can shrink depending on activities like bike riding or running, bathing etc. I assume this is normal? No issues with erections. thanks.

The same happens to me. Normally, flaccid length is about 3 inches and almost 8 inches erect, but down to about 2 inches after workout and with anxiety. During physicals it goes down to 2 or less inches. A lot of change in girth as well, going from 2 inches to 5 3/4.

To be honest, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.

You must be a girl impersonating a guy! 😁 😁

I thought everyone knew the size of the penis changes during the course of the day, with varying ambient temperatures, physical activity and emotional states.

There's a great Seinfeld episode that will resolve any doubts about this topic and the various causes of changing penis size, naturally throughout the day. And, you know if it's Seinfeld, it's gotta be the truth!

Play safe!

My health teacher when I was in high school talked about this not being a big deal especially if you are small.

@beccarnmommy "Shrinkage" remember that :-)

@caresabouthealth Megan, that's something I have told myself for the last 48 years, not very convincingly though :-)

When I go to take my morning shower - it's actually embarrassing!!

The penis normally changes size during the day, depending on the ambient environment. Often there is an erection upon wakening. If it is cold or during exercise, it tends to get smaller. If the temperature is warm, or during erotic thoughts, it will increase in size

It is normal.During exercise your blood flows to other more important organs

Again it is normal for that to happen during exercise.Also a proper diet and exercise will help increase size. It has been said for every 30lbs of weight loss that could increase length by one more inch.

I should have remembered Seinfeld! Well, it was affirming to read the responses and realize the one's penis is sensitive to a variety of situations and as the other expression goes, "It has a mind of its own!"

Thanks for the valuable comments and information.

Good question as I have always noticed the same with my penis.

Though temperature will affect penis size particularly a wet cold after swimming, I have noticed mine changing size without specific reason that I can tell.

I am cut low and loose and usually am on the bit larger side of the average range for flaccid girth and length (65th percentile if you go by some of the tables). I hardly ever show larger but often show much smaller. And it's not because of temperature or level of excitement. Sometimes the shaft is narrow and short but the head is pronouncedly large. Sometimes the shaft is short but fat and the head is relatively small. Sometime normal length but narrow shaft and head. Just about any combination you can imagine.

If anything, these changes seem to go with my mental state; a bit on the anxious side vs happy and comfortable.

During my recent hip replacement surgery I was hoping to inadvertently show off a bit to the nursing staff when dressing the wound but was shocked to find I had a micro penis. I almost couldn't find it and no rubbing or stretching would revive it. I suppose it was due to pain, medications and anxiety. Needless to say, I hid my penis from everyone. It didn't get to my normal size till 3 weeks or so post op. There for a bit I thought it would never recover. I'm okay with it now.

Most of the posts here seem to be about changes in flaccid size.

Has anyone else here had really noticeable variations in the length and girth of his erect penis?

Some of my partners have remarked on this... especially if I was having a lot of sex with the lady after a "dry spell." Ordinarily, I'm about 6" erect, but after several weeks of frequent sex, I'm longer than that and there's an increase in girth, too.

My very first partner for intercourse told me that she'd had seven other partners in the years leading up to our time together, and she'd never seen any of the others change over time like that.

Some of my later partners said similar things.

Not that I'm complaining, but is this unusual? Can't seem to find anything about it in the standard online articles about penis size.

It really depends of tempereature environment. When is warm penis may be longer as it extend itself when it's colder it shrink to preserve more warm and can be shorter

According to my knowledge of the seen, narrate, studying, practice... The size is affected by: Genetics, age, time of day, body position, standing, sitting, lying, temperature, maybe moon, puberty, andropauza, (male menopause), water, physical activity, blood pressure, food, fatigue, state of mind, thought, and inner eroticism of an individual, visual stimulation, olfactory stimulus, smell, scent, fragrance, aroma, odor, perfume.

But there is another factor that some will agree to, and some will not. I noticed, and that was what men told me to, after removing hair around the penis, especially shaving, their organ becomes bigger. It's not just an optical illusion, it really happens, and there is also an explanation, my interpretation: Lack of hair causes an awareness of the presence of the penis that, slowly but little more intense rubs on the skin and clothes. Mans brain experience it as mild stimulation. The most important factor is the woman's presence. Especially the gentle touch of a woman's hand. Men then grow in 99% of the cases.

Now Gentlemen, before you are gravely disappointed, do not go shaving your pubic hair in hopes of making your penis grow !

Whatever size you are when fully erect ( even on your best day) that is the biggest you will be, shaving WILL NOT make your penis bigger than it has ever been!

Think about this...

Would shaving your head make you taller?

Would shaving your legs make them longer?

@Bridgette, absolutely correct. If shaving really made a penis grow, not just appear bigger because there was no hair hiding it, 99% of men would do it.

I like your bald head analogy.

Actually, I have heard that a bald head acts as a solar energy collector for a sex machine.

That must make Mr. Clean a real freak...

I couldn't have phrased that in better words, Susie. ?

Sales of razors are going to skyrocket all over the world ! 😉 ???

Tried attaching a brick to your penis by a length of string and letting it dangle for a week ? it may lengthen it but im sure it will change colour to black too ie dead skin

For some unknown reason my penis always seems to get larger when I expose it to a naked woman. Especially on a sunny day!

I have to give some clarification.

I did not write that a penis will grow by shaving. I wrote:

"Lack of hair causes an awareness of the presence of the penis that, slowly but little more intense rubs on the skin and clothes. Mans brain experience it as mild stimulation."

It means that a penis is stimulated to some point of erection ( semi erection, half erected), and than the penis is bigger, then when is not stimulated - erected. Conclusion, The penis size when shaved in average is bigger than the penis average size when hairy.

I am completely shaven (waxed actually) and I do not perceive any incidental stimulation nor a partial erection by being bald down there. No different than when I had hair. I got waxed for presentation only!

Doesn't add nor subtract excitement for me while clothed or while naked. I just prefer the way it looks to be very closely trimmed above and shaved below.

@Miriamvee You are absolutely correct. Your assumptions are correct about penis size and changes.

Brings to mind that old adage. “If you trim your bush, it makes your deck look bigger.” 😃

Same thing is true for your “dick”. 😄
