That is "shrinking" genitals! My testicals are about 30% smaller over the last two years. Flaccid penis is about 20% smaller. My scrotum is uncomforably tight and pulling my testcals up into my body. Getting and maintaining an erection useful for sex is very difficult, even using viagra, etc. I'm in good physical shape. I'm not overweight. I walk 3 miles a day weather permitting. Sexual activity is expected of me as I find myself single for the last ten years. It is not for sport, it is a necessary part my life. Where can I get testosterone supplements. There must also be other answers....
