I can understand why you would dislike your penis. However it is the prostate and not the penis which is causing the condition that you mentioned.
I am not aware of the advantages or disadvantages of proscar.

PROSCAR (finasteride), a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound, is a specific inhibitor of steroid Type II 5α-reductase, an intracellular enzyme that converts the androgen testosterone into 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
from:
http://www.rxlist.com/proscar-drug.htm
From the: TABLE 4 : Drug-Related Adverse Experiences, there is only a 5% chance of becoming impotent and a 0.4% chance of gynecomastia. (page 3 of the web site)
A different drug may be better than this drug to become impotent.

Would Cyproterone Acetate shrink my prostate ? I'm on (finasteride) to, but would switch to Cyproterone if that shrank my prostate.

Without much testosterone in your system, your prostate will eventually shrink quite a bit.

A year of spironolactone (and estrogen) shrunk my prostate considerably, and I always had BPE/BPH (enlarged prostate) before this. I previously took Avodart for a few months to reduce the swelling, but it didn't have nearly the effect spiro and E did.

I started taking 5mg of finasteride about 7 months ago. My urologist changed to this medication after I complained that I was experiencing retrograde ejaculation with Rapaflo. After 4 months of taking Proscar, I began to notice real differences in my erections, libido, ejaculate and more. Now I have a really hard time even getting a momentary erection. My prostate, penis and balls have all gotten smaller. I think that finasterade is slowly castrating me chemically.

Finasteride is a 5 alph reductase inhibitor that blocks one of the three enzyme pathways that convert T to the super potent DHT. Avodart blocks all three with about a 81% efficacy. So, Avodart works a LOT better but it is also more expensive. You can try a low dose of E on top of that or actually an E-blocker like tamoxifen. Nothing will kill your libido and erection like super low E!
