disapearing friend

[DrDarkMatter]

hi guys, I have not posted here much recently because I am not really lifting much, I am really trying hard to cut fat so its been a lot of cardio and interval training since November 1st.

I have dropped 12 kg and gone from 105 cm to 94 cm waist so I am almost at my 90/90 goal 90kg and 90 cm, but I do miss lifting.

I am trying to lift heavy once a week ( well heavy for me)

I have an embarrassing question, I thought a long time about whether to post it here, I dont really have any place else I can ask, I am not going to ask my personal trainer, she is drop dead gorgeous and I would never be able to face her again lol lol

ok so here goes.........................sigh.

when I am doing heavy lifting like deads or squats and I am getting to the end and I am really fatigued and pushing hard in my last sets and reps my dick disappears, I mean that it pulls itself inside the skin like its trying to go back inside my body, I am a circumcised man so I dont have a big foreskin but its still acting like that, its trying to go inside and disappear. its the strangest thing, and its ONLY under heavy duress of lifting this is happening.

has anyone else heard of this before?

[Ninja]

Wow are you for real?

Na man never heard of this, maybe your pelvic muscles are just crazy developed haha

[DrDarkMatter]

ya man, its for real, I originally thought it was just a one off when it happened a while ago as I did not lift heavy for a couple of months while I was just cutting and doing cardio, but it did it again the other day when I was going deads on my last reps when I was pushing hard to get the last ones in. I am thinking I am going to need to talk to my doc maybe.

[AgentOrange]

How do you know this, are you lifting naked? lol

[DrDarkMatter]

lmao! um no definitely not lol, I can feel it, the first time it happened I felt it and I looked and I was like wtf, its gone lol

[DIANABOL]

Srs question: What happens to your testicles when your penis withdraws into your body? This is a very interesting case indeed.

[DrDarkMatter]

hi, nothing, its just my penis goes up inside the skin. I can look down and its lost like half its length and gone inside its outside skin.

you bring up and interesting point though which I didn't think of. I didn't notice if there was any change in feeling to my testes, I don't notice anything physical to them but I have not thought about trying to notice any different feeling with them.

[Jpayer]

Wow, weird as!!!

Its for reasons like this that I have a rule to always lift with a hard on.

In all seriousness, see your doc man!

[DrDarkMatter]

ya pretty messed up eh?

[DIANABOL]

Is your friend quite short anyway?

[DrDarkMatter]

man this is going places I am not sure I want to go but I started it so here goes, no I would say not. but at rest is not very big.

[I Declare War]

Sounds like a good adaption to me. Body under load, dick goes and hides. Makes it harder for ya dick to get ripped off I suppose

No point going to see your doc about this that I can see. It's not causing you any problems from what I can tell. It's just how your body is.

[DrDarkMatter]

ya maybe, I did write my physio/nutritionist and asked him this morning, I will see what he says.

I can kind of understand it I guess, like vomiting after a hard work out, no blood in your stomach and body tried to get rid of whats in there. Maybe its the same kind of thing, I just hope it never happens when I am training with my PT lol lol

Dark matter cannot be seen directly with telescopes; evidently it neither emits nor absorbs light or other electromagnetic radiation at any significant level

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DIANABOL]

LOL I know what you mean.

Last question: How do you get your friend to come back out? Does he pop out voluntarily when he's ready or do you have to force him out?

[DrDarkMatter]

lol I pop him out, I am sure it would by itself if i let it but it feels strange so I do it.

[DrDarkMatter]

so I hear back from my physio/nutritionist and he said

"Its not common (that I know of) BUT that said it is also nothing to worry about.

When under duress (physical stress) the sympathetic nervous system gets very active and floods blood away from unnecessary organs, like the gut and reproductive organs and that is a very normal response.

When relaxed, things normalise and blood flows back to those organs.

Penis size (when small and engorged) is ALL about blood flow.

So long as it is getting hard when aroused, then all is good."

so it is like the nauseous feeling from lack blood flow to the stomach thing.

[train hard]

Is this real life? fuk sake

[DrDarkMatter]

LOL

I am tellin ya man, I was kinda freaked out by it when it happened for the first time, then I started thinking about the supplements I was talking and if it would be that but I was only taking things WPI and creatine and ON BCAA's and some mineral supplements like a lot of Zinc and Magnesium ( I cramp up a lot)

but it only happened when I was really straining for the last few reps on the last sets and my heaviest set.

so I kind of thought in the back of my mind that it might be blood flow related but I posted this before I wanted to know if anyone had heard of it in the bodybuilding community.

[DrDarkMatter]

Once I get down to my goal bodyfat and weight I will start lifting again and try to gain some mass so I am kind of expecting this to come back on my leg and deads days :roll: :shock:

[Outdoorfreak]

Apparently this is more common than most of you blokes would like to admit.

It's called something like Penis Retraction syndrome - or something like that...

Can affect any man in stressful scenarios, including when you are lifting heavy weights.

You can go to a Urologist if you're worried about it...it might be the result of an infection. Could also be the result of muscle or nerve issues in your back, so a Chiropractor or similiar may be of help.

[DrDarkMatter]

huh, thats very interesting mate, I do have some nerve issues in my lower back which my Chiro is working with me on, I have a bone spur which is causing me some nerve problems, very interesting, thank you!!!

[AlBundy]

Dont worry about it. It's normal for us males when our nervous systems are stressed for our dicks to go into protection mode. Adrenaline/physical stress causes vasoconstriction and shrinkage. You get the same effects from stimulant class drugs sure more than a few on this forum understand the term pill dick. I don't think it matters what size your cock is as a male seeing this phenomenon is worrying if ya don't know the cause.

[Chemo]

Wow, full on topic. Wouldn't worry man the penis has a mind of its own, its always changing sizes, hot cold, blood flow, pelvic position.

As long as its not effecting your sex life, I think you'll be fine.

just try get a half mast so when your trainers around you don't feel so :oops:

Lol

Interesting when you said the last few reps can make it retract.

Is it a quick transition?
