Guys, have things shrunk?

[Bombyx]

In another thread, someone suggested wearing diapers had led to decreased size of their male anatomy over time. Not that I have much choice but is this something I need to worry about?

 

[YakuiAndOzoi]

Haa, this is something I've done some research on!

The most change you'll get will be almost certainly temporary. Actual penile atrophy is a VERY long term thing. Now, I guess if you really are wearing break then "temporary" is "as long as you're still wearing to where a full erection cannot be sustained."

But yeah, common scientific consensus is that actual long-term shrinkage is only caused by aging and rarely long-term medication. HRT, for example, is documented to cause testes shrinkage but actual penile atrophy is somewhat spurious as a connection; it can make it near impossible to get fully hard, but if medication is halted then size shouldn't be lost.

Short term only if it's compressed in there. It comes back right away.

 

[DLNerd]

Doesn't seem logical. I've been wearing for years now, not constantly, but often enough. I haven't noticed any shrinking; if anything it has only gotten bigger over time.

 

[nappyman60]

I have ticked yes, but I've had prostate surgery, my shrinkage is probably due to this.

 

[phase II]

I clicked unsure but I've worn for long periods of time. I'm already pretty small so it's hard to tell honestly.
I've come to accept my body for what it is.

Weight gain can cause more fat buildup around your member - hiding the base of it. Just a thought as it may play a role.

 

[tempestcd]

I have gotten smaller. Likely due to age. Never in chastity. I also feel there is a psychological connection as I wear panties almost 24/7 unless I opt for some diaper time.

 

[Edgewater]

I have worn for decades and if anything, I am larger.
Remember that unless you are compressing, which results in limiting the capacity of the diaper! Diapers when worn correctly provide more room not less.
To a degree this is like the stories of the military using saltpeter to reduce the sexual drive of soldiers. Both are simply stories and little more.

Tell me about it LOL! Before I encountered life altering health issues I was always **PROUD** of my size. I grew up back when EVERYONE had to shower after gym, wrestling/football practice and the school had massive open bays with a few dozen showerheads. I was always on the + size compared to everyone else I was proud to think to myself...as if it's a contest to begin with but if every guy (I.E. teen male) is being honest with themselves, one that reaches your knees is what you tell everyone else you actually have where the showers kind of make that impossible. Still, I know for a fact I'd take one that dragged behind me (like a tail) even if it was useless when I was 13 or so just so I could throw it over my shoulders and pet it like a snake....I'd show it to EVERYONE! Ok...past the teen mindset and back into reality. I encountered life altering health issues (disabled vet) that came to stay for good in 2004 and gone is the 5'7"+ 230lb built like a brick shit-house body and now I have what I term "fat guy dick".

It no longer looks very impressive when I shower but it's still ALL there, just you'd never know it until it gets happy. Now I know what the term "grower not a show-r" means LOL

PS I wrote the song "King Dong" when I was 9, so I suppose I was always imagining myself to be incredibly well endowed long before I had a clue wtf that meant.

worth mentioning that, while there really hasn't been any scientific study, from everything I've read, know, and have experienced chastity won't cause any shrinkage either. Almost anyone saying otherwise that I've encourtered seems to just be exaggerating or wishfully fantasizing for fetishistic reasons. It might cause slight problems from long-term erection prevention but it should come back over the course of a week at most, rather than having actually atrophied.

Shrinkage? It's still as long. What the doctors don't tell us is that when they remove the prostate and connect the penis directly to the bladder, the bladder doesn't pull down to meet the penis, but the penis pulls up to meet the bladder. The bigger the prostate, the bigger the gap to be filled by pulling the penis further in. I lost nearly 2" while flaccid from the surgery, and as I already had non-responsive ED who knows how much shorter I would have been when erect. It does make it easier wearing a diaper, as I always pee straight in front like a little kid.

I should think it comes from the misconception that the penis is muscular and therefore built up through use, which is of course completely false.

I spend about 30% of my time in diapers and have for a couple of years. So far I haven't noticed any changes downstairs.

I've also heard it said that the warmth of a diaper might harm sperm production. I'm sexually active but not looking for more kids, so perhaps that's more of a "pro" than a "con."

Yes, extended diaper wearing will reduce sperm production. It is the heat that affects production! The same recommendations for couples trying to become pregnant will include that the male switch to boxer underwear.

I havent noticed anything getting smaller. I get so horny especially wearing a pair of plastic pants and believe me things are not small at that point....

 

[richieboy]

After my sudden cardiac arrest, I was saved by cpr,had a stent put in and took brilinta to keep it open, my penis shrunk to almost nothing, after they stopped tthe meds I kinda went back to normal, but still smaller. The drug is an anti platelet

 

[Edgewater]

It is not uncommon for the side-effects of medications to take much longer for the body to cleanse itself from them, as a result it can be six months or longer to see only limited effects of the side-effects.

 

[Str88jacketabdl]

I’m nine months Into being 24/7 for the second attempt at going full time into diapers. And this time I’ve noticed shrinkage.

The first year I never noticed any shrinkage. This time I’ve noticed when im not erect I’m 25-50% smaller then I was not in diapers.

When erect I feel mostly normal though.

This is where I'm at and verified by my urologist.
