For most men, the size of their penis is a point of insecurity and anxiety. That’s the reason there have been several terms and expressions, including ‘small penis syndrome’, meaning ‘unsatisfactory manhood’, and the idea that a man’s value is proportionate to his penis size. There’s recently been a phenomenon called ‘small penis fall’, which is to say it was based on the assumption that a man’s penis shrinks with age. We will explain what you need to know about ‘small penis fall’ and dispel a few of the myths associated with this condition.
What is ‘Small Penis Fall’?
‘Small penis fall’ is a phrase developed to describe the view that men lose their penis size as they grow older. This belief stems from the mistaken belief that the penis is a muscle and, like any other muscle, will shrink with age. In recent years, the word has gained traction because many men think their penis will naturally shrink as they age.
Debunking the Myth
Despite its popularity, there’s no science behind the concept of ‘small penis fall’. The penis is not a muscle but an organ of spongy tissue and veins. It does not diminish or diminish as we age. Even in reality, studies indicate that the average penis size remains about the same throughout the life of a man.
The notion of ‘small penis fall’ is usually rooted in testimonial and anecdotal experiences. Most men may perceive that their penis has gotten smaller as they grow older but that could be caused by other reasons like weight gain, muscle loss and hormone fluctuations. These things make the penis appear small.
Factors Affecting Penis Size
Age doesn’t take into account any of the factors that can influence a man’s penis size. The size of the male penis is a major factor in genetics. Some other influences on penis size include:
1. Hormone Levels
Hormones form the basis of the transformation that occurs in sexual development. For males, testosterone is the major sex hormone that typically initiates most male change, such as the penis size increase. Those hormones fluctuate based on health conditions and lifestyle adjustments. In other instances, low testosterone will inhibit normal growth and may even induce disorders of the penis (micropenis). We need the right hormone levels to grow and hold penis sizes throughout a man’s lifetime.
2. Weight
Heavy weight is another factor that can have a massive impact on how big the penis that a man has seems to be. When there is much excess weight, especially around the stomach or in the pubic area, this tends to engulf the fat and conceals the pit of one’s penis. This makes the penis, when erect or even slender, seem much smaller than it really is. Good diet and exercise for weight loss can increase its appearance and even sexual well-being.
3. Puberty
Puberty marks the peak of growth and development — including the penis. Men of average size tend to grow larger during this time, and their adult size typically does not change over time. Growth at puberty is genetically driven, and hormonally driven. You should note, however, that this phase is a growth phase, and all those worried about size should be reassured- most men peak at their full weight during this stage.
4. Circumcision
Circumcision – that is, removing the foreskin from the penis – has been controversial in relation to its effect on the size of the penis. There are also reports that circumcised men tend to measure just a bit smaller than uncircumcised men. The key observation, however, is that the majority of reported size differences are almost entirely insignificant and are not uniform. In most cases, circumcision is a question of personal or cultural choice, rather than development or ageing.
5. Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction essentially controls the size of the penis. Men who are unable to maintain or obtain an erection may find that the penis feels so small, a possible cause of size disorders. The psychological side-effects of ED could lead to yet another panic about penis size — a vicious cycle. Remember that ED is a disease; with treatment complete trust in one’s sexual wellbeing can be reinstated and, if erections do improve, they can be improved.
Tips for Embracing Body Positivity
Move the Pointer: Instead of thinking about weight, think about what your body can do. Take pride in your physical feats — strength, endurance, flexibility.
Stay Self-Compassionate: Say to yourself that everyone has insecurities and you need to be nice to yourself. Use self-love affirmation practices to help build a positive sense of self.
Communicate: Talk it out with friends or on forums. Telling someone how you feel can reduce the burden of insecurity and foster friendship.
Ask For Professional Help: If feeling inadequate causes you anxiety or depression, you might consider consulting with a mental health professional with expertise in body image issues.
Education: Once you know that penis sizes vary widely and that there is no “ideal” penis size, you can normalize them. Schooling can counter some of the myths that fuel insecurity.
Conclusion:
Ultimately, ‘small penis fall’ is an illusion, and will stay an illusion because it’s the illusion society has been trained to believe, and all human insecurity has been drawn into this circle. We do not know that a man’s penis will shrink over time from a scientific standpoint. The size of the male organ is determined by the genes and other conditions, including hormones, weight, and even circumcision. You should make sure men learn that you don’t judge your worth by how big your organ is, and finally that age doesn’t affect the size of your manhood. Educating yourself and dispelling these myths is vital for the healthy body image and self-esteem of men in all walks of life.
