Shrinkage after exercise

[danboy775]

Does anyone else on here suffer from a shriveled dick after a good workout in the gym?

I have started using the gym everyday at work, however after a good run and some weights my cock shrivels up and sometimes even feels cold, this is not cool in a communal changing room if you know what i mean!!

I thought that by exercising, this would promote blood circulation to the groin area and would have the opposite affect to what is happeing to me!!!
Is this turtling, will a jelqing routine stop this from happening?
Advice please!!

Yes, same thing happens to me, especially after a hard cardio session, I think it must have something to do with circulation, with your blood being pumped to your muscles you've been working. My penis gets really cold even though the rest of my body is warm/hot, doesn't feel right at all. I have tried searching on this issue before without great luck, so I'm not sure it is too common. Would also like advice on this issue.

Yup, very normal. For example, if you really work your chest in the gym and that muscle group is really pumped with blood, then your body is concentrating on transporting blood to your chest. This excess blood is taken from other parts of your body, parts that don't really need it at that time. Since you are not having sex, your penis doesn't need the blood, hence the shrinkage.

Now doesn't that seem logical guys? The blood tends to go where it's needed during exercise.

Yep, this happens to my dick after doing push ups. Annoying, but true.

The body only has about one third enough volume if all of our circulatory system was to be dilated all at the same time, (ever heard of someone going into shock with out any blood loss?). As it turns out our body is pretty smart and it does in fact shunt blood to areas of need form areas of low need. Arms get pumped up with a upper body workout, that blood has to come form some were. Feel tiered after a big meal, the body has shunted blood to our GI tract to deal with the increased work load digesting that big ass steak that was eaten. I've seem a number of posts stating that penis size decreases after and good workout.

In short, I agree with what has been said above.

Cardio and weight exercise promotes Adrenaline secretion which acts as a vaso-constrictor. In fact, one of the first steps to treat a case of priapism is to do squats or climb stairs.

If your cock is warm and full of blood after a good workout, your kidneys might not be doing a good job.
