@newtobeingold - Welcome to Mayo Connect. This is a great forum to share questions and experiences. I love your on-line name...

I'm more like "experienced at being old". There's no question that aging seems to cause some shrinkage and other circumstances like prostate issues, being overweight (I see you've managed your weight), and so on can exacerbate natural shrinkage.

You describe what seems to be shrinkage when flaccid. Is there the same shrinkage when erect? Usually, erect length doesn't change the way flaccid length does.

I'm wondering why you equate flaccid shrinkage with "your fun days being over"? In my experience, one has little correlation to the other. Might be some natural shrinkage will have little/no impact on your sex life?

When flaccid, you can't even see it. It's like the old joke of needing tweezers and a magnifying glass. When erect, it is much shorter than it used to be, with a very slight curve upward. Not meaning to make this sound like a penthouse forum but I am at the point where in order to have intercourse I have to stand at the edge of the bed and pull her to me or have her on top, missionary just won't work any more. If I stood in front of you and removed my clothes without touching it, you would see a pair of testicles and not much else. Maybe that is why I equate all of it with the fun days being over. Like I said, it was never huge to begin with but it was at least big enough to hit the right spot, and I definitely worked on technique and other things over the years to satisfy my partner, now I can barely even urinate because it has gotten so small. It has totally wrecked my self-esteem when trying to find a compatible partner... I guess if I was still married I wouldn't consider it that much of a problem (although it really still would be) but what kind of woman who still loves sex wants a man who can only provide satisfaction through means other than intercourse?
