Hello,
I’ve been masturbating since 13 and now an adult. I’m not sure what causes men to be “showers” or “growers” — but I’m a big time “grower” and was wondering if it could be from over-masturbation?
In my heart I always felt over-masturbating as a teen caused my penis not to grow to it’s full potential. I tend to obsess (like a lot of men do) over the size of my penis, but mainly because I’m a grower.
When I’m erect I’m about 6 inches long — from what I’ve read 6 inches is around average, not small at all, but I still obsess over the size. Almost like a person who looks in the mirror and thinks they’re fat when really they’re normal. I think the main reason is because when my penis is flaccid it’s only about 2 to 2.5 inches long. (layers of skin shriveled together) I see some guys who look about 4 inches flaccid, but maybe they don’t get much bigger when erected?
Being a doctor and having seen a lot of penises, is a 2 to 2.5 inch grower normal? Have you seen lots of growers? Am I worrying for nothing?
I have no problem when I’m erect, but I don’t like using urinals in public because I think someone is going to see my “grower” and judge me. Am I worrying for nothing — do lots of men have growers like me?
Thanks for everything.
ANSWER
You are perfectly normal, genetics play a key role here. However, if you don’t have enough androgen hormones plus prostaglandinds E1 E3 and NO, your penis will shrink and make you a “firm-flaccid grower”.’
You don’t seem to suffer from any sexual exhaustion symptoms and you’ve been a “grower” all your life, so there is nothing wrong with that. I’ve seen a lot of “growers” and can assure you that 2-2.5 inches is a normal flaccid. You should not worry one bit about it.
UPDATE
I actually do have sexual exhaustion symptoms (anxiety, premature ejaculation, tight scrotum, penis feels shrivel and week after ejaculation) and have been masturbating 5 times a week or more ever since I hit puberty so maybe that has caused me to be a MORE of a grower. Things do seem to loosen up if I go a few weeks without ejaculating, but as soon as I do it just once it tightens up again and my package feels weak and a tad sore.
You mentioned if one doesn’t have enough androgen hormones plus prostaglandinds E1 E3 and NO, then it could cause shrinkage and make them a “firm-flaccid grower”.
Is there something I can take to fix this? Maybe I don’t need to be such a grower, although from what you’ve said I’m perfectly normal — BUT still, things always seem so tight down there and never loose… maybe I’m lacking something.
Thanks a lot.
ANSWER
Premature ejaculation, anxiety, tight scrotum, shriveled penis – these exact symptoms do not necessarily mean that you are sexually exhausted. However, you said that the things “loosen up” after periods of no masturbation which means that you are very likely experiencing lacks of androgen hormones.
To better your condition you should:
1. Discontinue any sexual activities for 1 to 3 months.
2. Take certain supplements that will promote Prostaglandins E1 E3 and NO production for healing, better your nervous modulation on your dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine axis to prevent anxious feeling and additional inflammatory and stress hormones release and unlock your hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis – Alpha-Amino, Alpha-AGH , Multi-Alpha, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil.
3. Make good use of numerous solutions to additionally increase your androgens by testicle temperature regulation
Wish you a fast recovery!
UPDATE
Does DHEA increase androgen? If so should I take it?
ANSWER
I wouldn’t recommend it by itself. It will eventually influence your hormonal levels in a negative manner. Also, naturally, causes numerous side effects.
