Retraction of penis
Has anyone felt the sensation of their penis retracting inward to the lower abdominal when exercising? Feels like the pelvic muscle is pulling it inward?

Re: Retraction of penis
Search the forum for the word 'koro'. Not saying this is your problem .... yet.

Re: Retraction of penis
Interesting - I'm sure "koro" effects some on a psychological level but I don't think this is the case. This is muscular in nature. I had read previous post mentioning the pelvic muscle going into spasm and the penis retracting/turtling (can't find it though...your post that is). I'm reading this is pretty common, and however happens only after intense workouts for me on rare occasions.

Re: Retraction of penis
Just be aware that a form of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) that involves intense anxiety about penis retraction is not unknown in men with CPPS. Be on the alert to stop yourself going that route, especially if you are someone with anxiety or OCD issues already.

Re: Retraction of penis
I'd imagine it'd be normal for the body to shunt blood away from certain organs (stomach, genitals, etc.) to the necessary muscles while exercising, right?

Re: Retraction of penis
Not to the extent of penis retraction.
Here is what I was talking about, more or less: Penile Dysmorphic Disorder

Re: Retraction of penis
Right, not to the point where it actually retracts in, but enough to where there might be a "feeling." I've noticed my genitals tucked in and more "compact" after strenuous exercise. I've always seen it as totally normal. (Thanks, body, for preventing all that from flopping around!)

Re: Retraction of penis
Yes absolutely, penises will retract when exercising. It's always happened to me. Stress/anxiety causes it. Cold causes it.
I don't think it's too controversial. The classic "George getting out of the pool" episode on Seinfeld.
