Stress + penis??
The thing is, I've had my GCSE final exams this week and I've been under quite alot of pressure and stress, and the last 2 or 3 weeks my dick has been looking quite small, like not the normal size.
So I was wondering if it is the stress I'm under at the moment that's making my dick so small lateley, or something more worrying?
Stress can have an effect on the size of your penis. In general though, its periods of sudden fear or major stress, or severe nausea that can cause a lot of blood to flow out of the penis suddenly which makes it smaller. I'm not sure what effect prolonged stress has on the size of the penis, but I do know stress can reduce your sex drive, and cause erection problems.
When you are under stress the peripheral circulation is reduced as more blood is diverted to the muscles. (Our stress systems assume that we will have to fight or run very fast to deal with a stress - they don't take account of exams.) Having less peripheral blood can cause your penis to shrink very small.
hey, after reading ineligible's post, I realised I actually did know something about this from my psychology class.......The ANS (autonomic nervous system) has two "parts" - the parasympathetic and the sympathetic. When placed under stress, the sympathetic system comes into action and accelerates the heart rate, slows down digestion and other processes that can be withheld for a later date, constricts blood vessels, and raises blood pressure. It bascially, as Ineligible said, diverts more blood to the muscles that would need it.... and in turn it neglects other things including the penis, which is why people have sex difficulties when under alot of stress!!!
Awww crap... Im doing my GCSEs and year 10 exams aswell. Stress causes small penis.. small penis causes stress...vicous circle.
