Retracting penis problem...

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 have this problem to it seems to be happening to men more and more. I truly believe it is the side effect of all the GMO's in the food now.

Enema with a slightly diluted hydrogen peroxide (about 2:1 water:h2o2) and drink some water mixed with golden seal.

From what you described about your husband's penis, I can absolutely tell you that my penis does the same thing so he is not alone. Except a little more than half of my penis stays retracted, and when I do the things your husband does like exercise or get nervous it retracts a little more. The only time my penis is really fully out so that you would know it's full length is when I get an erection.

I have suggested jumping on your buttocks. This is from yoga postures to arouse kundalini. One person had posted a message that he solved 18 year problem by chance while jumping on his buttocks. You may try this technique. You may not have to learn yoga to do this technique.It is completely harmless technique.
