Does the penis lose size with age?

Does the penis lose size with age. I read an article that if you do not use your penis it can shrink, is this true??

It can . it is more about lack of use ,hormones etc.

Mine did. I also abused my body through my entire 30s with booze, drugs, smoking, etc..

I lost a half inch or more of length. I’ve gotten it all back plus some though.

Not sure the “Use it or lose it” argument is true but if you can shrink and be shorter, you can definitely lose penis volume.

Its more like what Pegasus said. It uses size due to lack of use and having erections. One more reason that PE should be a lifestyle choice

Like others have said, age, declining hormones, lack of erections (and sex) contribute to atrophy. I lost about half an inch over 10 or so years as I got heavier, lost morning wood, much less sex, and got in the low normal range T level. PE restored that atrophy very quickly, and losing most of the weight, getting more exercise, and eating healthy has restored my T levels to the high normal range and made a world of difference with everything including better and more sex.

Thanks to regular pumping, I have maintained my size and perhaps continued to gain a little over the years. I just turned 83, have suffered with diabetic induced ED for past 12 years and due to my wife’s back issues, I have sex less than once a month.

Was the diet the cause of your low testosterone and loss of penis size?

My diet was terrible. Pre-diabetic glucose levels, high blood cholesterol, eating too much processed garbage and lots of carbs. Roughly 70 lbs overweight. As blood pressure increased, erections became difficult. I wouldn't say I had ED but I was getting there. Losing weight and exercise had the biggest effect by far as well as making yogurt with high levels of L- Reuteri and L-Rhamnosus. My testicles got physically larger after taking the yogurt for many months.

That’s cool! And I’d say that whatever strategy one might implement to improve the health of his gut biome, will lead to improved hormone levels, as well. Not to mention replacing junk with good sources of fat and protein. You’re now very likely producing more testosterone and, therefore, seeing an increase in testicle size. Nice!
