Retracting penis problem...

[shannonwooten]

Before I say anything... let me say that this isn't a problem that is just in my husband's head! I have had 2-3 woman say that they have seen their husbands/boyfriend  problem with their own eyes... and I have too!


Whenever my husband gets nervous, anxious, or his adrenaline starts to pump... his penis starts to retract into his body. When running or exercising, he is constantly having to 'pull' his penis to keep it from retracting. I have googled this and others have told me that this is called "Penis Panic" which is a disorder saying that it is all in a guys head.

I don't believe there has ever been any reports on a penis retracting and never coming out... but it makes my husband uncomfortable knowing its retracting and has to adjust himself.


Does anyone else have this problem or know someone who has? I posted this about a year ago and I received 6-7 messages saying that they or their husband/boyfriend has it and they haven't found any answers to it either.

My husband went to the doctor and of course the doctor didn't have any answers.

I did this same thing with the **** ring as well

"Vasoconstriction" - the constriction of blood vessels.
Medications that cause vasoconstriction include: antihistamines, decongestants, and stimulants.

Looks to be the cause of my problem? which seems to have started after going onto stimulant meds for ADD.

One remedy that sounds promising is a shot of alcohol :)

Good luck yall.

Oh, and I have had depression and am currently taking Lexapro and Alprazolam(Xanax).

I have lived with the all of my life.  It seems as though it happens when I'm hot and sweaty in that area, and when I am feeling anxiety.  Stress situations and also tobacco use.  Nicotine contributes to this and at least for me causes anxiety.  The only thing that seems to help is a little Goldbond powder or even baby powder.  

This disorder is uncomfortable and yes embarrassing.  I am constantly adjusting my junk and hate it.  I believe it is part psychological and part chemical.  Well it is good to know that others have this.

I am now 40, and did not have this problem until just recently.  I have had shrinkage while exercising, etc, but never experienced my penis collapsing in on itself until a couple months ago.  I am depressed, on a new medication (just started taking something for the depression, but this was going on before that med), take multiple supplements and eat a wide variety of good and bad foods.  I have several stomach/intestinal maladies, and was wondering if that had something to do with it.  One very common trait I've read about on here is depression... how many guys were depressed BEFORE this started?  (I'm presumming all are afterwards!)  I'd very much like a resolution to this uncomfortable and embarrassing condition!
