the incredible shrinking penis

[bird (imported)]

hi all. i have a question for you that i haven't seen on here. that is, how much shrinkage will occur.

i've marvelled at the fact that when hard (when i can get there) i've lost 3 full inches in length. I'm now down to 3.25". forget about flacid, i usually have to find it to take a pee and then pull it out from within.

my question is, to you who've been castrated for some time, do you continue to shrink? i'm sure there's a point of stopping but i haven't gotten there yet although i've slowed.

thanks folks,

I believe this topic has come up on another thread before. But to answer your question, I have lost about 2 inches in length. I've been on HRT for over 2 years and have notice some shrinkage. Some do not experience any shrinkage at all. I hope to retain enough so that the SRS surgeons have something to work with when the time comes. It's another "YMWV" sort of things.

Hi, I'm a 29 year old intact male who tried a single depo provera shot over a year ago and experienced some temporary shrinkage for a few months. After 3 weeks the erections completely stopped besides for the ones I really had to work for. To tell you the truth it probabely stayed inverted about 70% of the time, and when it was out it was less than an inch long. I found myself digging it out to pee, and because it felt funny at first, I was constantly tugging on it to keep it from going inside my body. My normal errections are just under 5 inches long. I didn't measure them on depo provera, but my errections were pretty limp and short lived so the length had to be shorter. Everything started wearing off after 6 weeks and went back to normal after 4 months. One good thing was that I didn't have morning hard ons for at least 3 months, so getting up and peeing was a breeze.

I'm not certain about size. I haven't really measured my sexual organs. I sensed that my testicles were smaller before HRT but larger after the shots.

My penis did seem to return to a bit more normal size after the testosterone shots. I don't think that I have the size with erections that I had when I was young, but then I don't really think that I get full erections. I don't know how long my positive response to HRT will last. My flacid penis is--I think--larger than it was last year before I got the therapy.

From what my internal medicine doctor told me, I had almost no testosterone production before HRT, and I don't know for certain that the HRT shots have jump started my own production.

After the shots, I do now have intense desires but no release in several weeks. I spend a lot of time thinking about sex but cannot even orchestra a fantasy to get me going.

Of course, one level, this is sort of a fantasy fulfilled--I suppose. Still, I would love to be able just to have an orgasm at will. Yet, the effect is interesting. The effect of penectomy without loss of testosterone is what I guess I have. I spend a lot of time sort of holding the head of my penis between two fingers and my thumb from over the top. That feels good, but the lack of an orgasm keeps me horny.

I don't have the intense fantasies about penectomy that I had at other times during my life. That may be the result of having this board as an outlet to talk about the fatansies. I do think that, if a woman really wanted for whatever reason that I cannot now imagine to enjoy an emasculated me, I could enjoy the project and the relationship. I think this is the case, but it seems a bit late in life for me.

Be careful, your prayers might find an answer--the one you think that you want.
