Hello guys!!!

I'm currently 10 months circumcised and my age is 22.

Recently I've discovered that the fat above my penis is covering some part of shaft..

Can anyone help me with why's my penis is going inside that fat layer day by day ..

I'm worried about my size too

The picture I attached is fully erect penis and measures just 4.9 inches ... Please someone help

Are you gaining weight for any reason ? If you are that may be the reason as putting on weight may increase the pubic fat area or make the abdominal fat sag and push the pubic fat forward . This is nothing to worry and if you lose weight , the part of the shaft that is present within the pubic fat should become more evident . If you are more worried you might check in with your doc as technically the penis size cannot become shorter. Don't worry .

I've gained weight not gonna lie. I'll start exercising asap. Is 4.9 enough? I'm constantly worried!

There's no "enough" or "right length" so definitely don't worry about it . Also if you push back on the pubic fat you should be able to feel the "lost length". During sexual intercourse this pubic fat gets compressed so don't fear that you have lost the length . Losing weight will certainly make the penis look larger . From what I know it takes around 7-10kgs to make a noticeable difference. All the best !

It is not at all unusual for a penis (circumcised or not) to appear to lose length when one is overweight. The build up of abdominal fat is simply hiding the upper end of your penis shaft - there is no actual loss of length.

Losing weight cuts down the abdominal fat and the penis's actual length re-appears.

Even the smallest penis is normally perfectly adequate for all the tasks it is supposed to do, so at 4.9 inches you are ok since the average adult penis is between 5 and 5.5 inches.

your 4.9 inches is fine. I’m at 3 to 3 1/2 inches when erect (pills get it erect) after prostate cancer/removal surgery and another surgery down there. No bladder control so the nurse said shaving pubic hair off keeps skin from staying wet and will make penis look bigger.. keeping weight down helps also to make it look bigger. Enjoy your 4.9 inches. Somebody out there is smaller that’s me ,but I and my wife are doing are best to enjoy my 3 1/2 inches ..

Hi mate.I am sorry for what happened to you and I hope you will continue to enjoy sex for many years using the pills. I want to ask you do you know which nerve is damaged after the operation? Is it the CAVERNOUS NERVE?

If someone really CARES about you and WANTS to be with you, that’s all that matters. Anyone whose only concern is the size of your dick is very shallow and not worth your time!

All I understood by that was LOVE matters .

You're right btw

Beware of the experienced woman who are more conditioned to cultural ideas than ideas based in love. I.e. needing a foot long snake to be happy.

I read a story by a very attractive young woman just last week who preferred a shorter penis for comfort as her own cervix is too discomforted for long lengths of penis. Her Russian boyfriend was 3 and a half inches.

Everyone's anatomy is different, both men and woman. We should celebrate and be grateful for what we do have. :)

Research nutrition and get a walking program of no less than 45 minutes 4 times in a week. Your penis is being concealed under the fat layer but it hasn’t shrunk. Don’t be hard on yourself, but do adjust a few lifestyle practices. At 22 your body should respond well. And....
