Is it possible for a penis to get BIGGER with age?

[Anonymous]

I didn't think this was possible, but I was watching porn, and was getting really turned on, so I decided to measure myself, and my dick grew. Mostly just a quarter inch (maybe slightly more), but on two occasions it grew over half an inch and got to about 6.80 in. Usually my max (with foreskin fully retracted) is 6.25 I didn't think that was possible. I didn't think I was past my max hardness. It's so weird 'cuz I came that morning too after like 3 days of edging. The first time it happened on its own from the porn. The second time, I was able to get more blood flow down there by flexing, and pulling on the foreskin. Usually when I pull it back, it gets bigger. I tried to get it up to 7 inches, but was only able to reach 6.80. But still over half an inch larger than my usual max. I triple checked multiple articles to see if I measured properly, and I did. But the head alone was over 1.5 inches, so the shaft itself actually didn't look that big. I think most of the growth was in my head.

But either way, I heard penises SHRINK with age, not get bigger. I'm 29 and I found one post from a guy my age who noticed the same thing. Science officially doesn't agknowledge it, or a cause for it, but we know it happens.

I don't know, what do you guys think? Maybe our resident penis expert, @PurplePoppy can offer some insight.

Although dick size is genetic I don't believe guys always harden to their full length. I'm sure most guys feel they're bigger on some days. Traditionally it's been thought the spongy tissue becomes less expandable with age and the. blood vessels get smaller reducing the blood flow to the penis thus reducing size.

But could it also be that men who take measures to improve their health see their dicks health return and offset the effects of age? Perhaps even improve on it

And that's why I tagged you in this. Thanks Dr. Poppy. 😉👍

Maybe you were not as turned on the first few times you measure it. I know the degree to which you are aroused does increase the length and girth.

@purplepoppy the asker would love your expertise on this question. 😂

[Asker]

That very well may be, because it's almost damn impossible to measure when it's at its maximum hardness, because by the time I grab the ruler it shrinks. I literally have to be in the moment, so I only have like a split second window to get an accurate measurement

[Asker]

Yeah, she can shine some light. She's an expert on the subject

[loves2learn]

Yes and yes! 😊

[Asker]

I don't know. There have only been a few instances where I was able to achieve maximum hardness, but I remember experiencing a phase before where it didn't get longer, but it appeared to get fatter. So I'm wondering if it IS possible to occasionally get more blood flow down there than normal.

[loves2learn]

I am sure it is possible under some circumstances to get more blood flow. Could be related to adrenaline too.

[Asker]

To be honest, I think that's what's going on. Certain things/activities/feelings, make me more excited than normal. Especially something new. I also wonder if there's something in those supplements I've been taking.

[loves2learn]

Could be any of that. The mold I took of my husband’s cock is huge. Like I almost can’t take it. He needs to warm me up first. While he was taking the mold I was mastrubating in front of him with a toy. Appears he really liked that. Lol

[Asker]

You took a mold of your husband's cock, OMG 😂😂😂 Wouldn't the mold naturally be bigger than his actual cock? You seem surprised since you've been taking it for years. But he seemed bigger than normal? What size is he normally?

[loves2learn]

Thank you for the mho :)

[Asker]

You're welcome. Your info was very helpful and insightful :)

I notice that I have days when it looks like I am bigger than others. Not by a lot but maybe a half inch. It looks harder as well.

[Asker]

Yeah, me too. I think Poppy and Loves explained it best

[Wise4myage]

Not possible.

[Asker]

I beg to differ

[Wise4myage]

That’s fine.😊

It obviously grows from birth. I don't know when it stops though.

[Asker]

I thought usually around 18

[In_Trance]

you wish

[Asker]

What's that supposed to mean? I saw it with my own eyes and I have pictures for proof

I'm 40 and my dick is a little bigger than it was in my 20's.
I don't believe that crap about penises shrinking because I've seen old guys in the locker room at the pool that had huge dicks.
I think some guys get health problems, get out of shape and gain too much weight as they get old.
That could affect blood flow to the penis, but it doesn't actually shrink on healthy men.

[Asker]

That's reassuring
