⚠️ Warning: Masturbation Shrinks Your Penis (2024 update)

So today it’s 2024 and I’m going to talk again about masturbation. It’s interesting how many questions I get asked about this topic.

However, as I’ve stated before, this blog is for YOU and I discuss topics that you’re most interested in and have questions about.

So with that said, let’s discuss today’s question:

Dr. Sam – I heard and read that masturbation can shrink your penis, is this true? I masturbate about 3-5x daily, sometimes as often as 7x daily. I’m worried. I don’t want my penis to shrink. Hell, I want it to get bigger. Anyway, what’s your thought?

Growing up, I never thought that masturbation would shrink my penis. I mean, this was never even talked about with my buddies. But these days, I get asked this question a ton of times for some reason.

So, here’s the truth – YES, masturbation can cause your penis to shrink. Actually, let me rephrase that, excessive masturbation can cause shrinkage.

Of course, the next question is, what’s “excessive”?

Well, 4-7x daily is a lot. In fact, if you’re masturbating that often, daily, every day – you need to get a job or something because you’ve got way too much time on your hands.

And I’ve spoken about the “WARNING: Negative Effects of Masturbation” in another article.

Masturbation Is Normal and Healthy, But…

Let’s get something straight before I continue – masturbating is normal and healthy. Men and women do it. You’ve seen dogs hump your leg or a toy, they do it too.

And, when you’re younger and have higher testosterone and optimal hormone levels, you’re hornier and will masturbate or have sex, more often.

And with that said, I think 1-2x daily is plenty.

What’s Excessive Masturbation?

Now, another question you may be asking is “why or how does excessive masturbating cause penis shrinkage?”

Well, it’s very similar to working out.

Even though your penis is an organ consisting of spongy tissue, it still contains muscle tissue – more specifically, smooth muscle. Not the same as your bicep or chest muscle, which is called skeletal muscle.

Needless to say, and even though it’s not “clinically proven”, you can most certainly grow your penis and at the same time, shrink it.

TRUST ME ON THIS, growing your penis is very possible and it happens plenty of times. It’s been shown with lots of guys.

Now, I’m not going to talk about penis GROWTH today.

However, excessive masturbating can lower testosterone levels and create hormonal imbalances, which can cause penis shrinkage.

How Often Should I Do It?

If you masturbate or have sex 1-2 daily, it’s fine.

But if you do it many times daily and thus, “excessively”, then you’ll have hormonal imbalances many times during the day, all of which, over time, can cause penis shrinkage.

Additionally, just as LACK of use will cause shrinkage, so will OVER use.

Just like going to the gym – you don’t want to under or over-train if your goal is maximum muscle growth.

Remember, everything in the body requires stimulation and recuperation if you want to progress.

Even your brain – you need to learn something new daily, read more, and so forth to continue to build new brain cells, synapsis, and so forth. That’s the stimulation.

While at the same time, you need proper sleep, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to help the brain recuperate and thus, remember what was learned to prevent memory and cognitive problems.

Yes, I’m simplifying it all – but I hope you get the point.

So, stimulate your penis. Get erections. Do Kegel exercises. Have sex or masturbate. Have orgasms. Then, let it rest and recuperate.

I guess like anything life, moderation is the key.

Lastly, you may be wondering “well, how much will it shrink if I masturbate excessively”?

I have no idea. Anecdotally, it’s not much. More girth than length. Maybe half an inch or so, maybe more if you’ve got more?

But it’s not just about the shrinkage, it’s about having optimal hormone levels so you perform at your best, now and in the future. It’s about the penis and prostate health.

So, there you have it.

Stimulate, then recuperate.
