Rumours rebooting leads to being smaller 'down there'?

    I don't really want to use overly graphic words here, but I sort of have to, just so you know.

    So during the time I've been doing NF I've sometimes come across some people saying that your penis size is linked to how often you MO or have sex, sort of a 'use it or lose it' kind of thing. Some of friends are convinced that this is the case. I was basically wondering if this has any truth at all, because it does concern me. It's probably me being paranoid and I'm sure it's just due to genetics. I'm doing 100 days hardmode, so will this length of time of abstinence affect your size and would remaining abstinent affect this?

    Thanks lads:)

    I don't think that's likely to be true. The penis is not a muscle and would not shrink in size due to lack of "use".

    NB This forum is about sex related topics, so it is perfectly acceptable to refer to the genitals and their function. ;)

    'Use it or lose it' does not apply to penis size. However, during the healing process from addiction, some report that their penis shrinks somewhat. This occurs during the flatline. But when that phase of recovery ends, the sex drive returns and the penis returns to the previous size, perhaps a tad bigger than before. But it seems to be related to the calibration of neurotransmitters rather than how often a person masturbates or has sexual intercourse.

    Very interesting. I hadn't read anything about shrinkage or enlargement until this thread. I'm on Day 140something and noticed this weekend that my penis seemed to be bigger than normal. I'm very lucky size-wise so I'm not in any sort of habit of checking it out in regards to size, but it's become noticeable. If I hadn't just read what you wrote I would have shrugged it off. I didn't notice any downsizing at any point during reboot, but I absolutely noticed the hair on my head thickening (I don't mean each hair getting wider, I mean new hairs have sprouted up between existing hairs), and my obliques are more noticeable with no changes to my fitness training (although I do stretch much more now, which has to have some effect). I never started NoFap for any reason other than to break my PMO addiction, so I can promise you these physical changes are not placebo effect in my case. The loss of my anxiety and the semen retention must play some role together. I have no idea why my penis size would be affected but I'm certainly not going to complain!

    Definetely not.
    At least for me, my penis always seems to be kind of shrunk when I was PMOing.
    After the flatline period it seemed like it was bigger, but it was just back to its normal size.

    Yes that's right. Work on your paranoia instead of your penis size.

    Mine seems to have grown a bit, but that is comparing it to the pied eyed limp noodle that motivated me to go hardmode cold turkey. It never was a monster, and I'm not going to play with it to get a good measurement, but when I stand in front of a mirror after a shower, my smile is bigger.

    My penis can't possibly get ANY smaller. Woo hoo! I have nothing to worry about.
