Hi, I too have simmilar problems with shrinkage. In 2003 it was discovered that I have low testosterone levels as well as that I suffer from ED. A urologist put me on monthly testoserone injections as well as prescribing caverject to help with the ED.

My blood pressure medications are causing a problem with erections as well as shrinkage. I am married and have a good relation with my wife.

I strongly don't believe that pronographic material will make a difference. If anything it could be harmful as one may be left with unrealistic expectations.

A sexual relationship is meant for a husband and wife, non of the other nonsense should even be considered. In that case I much rather have the ED and shrinkage. For myself the shrinkage is mostly visable in a flacid state, once erect there is enough there that it does not interfere with intercourse.

Currently for myself, I have a suprapubic catheter in and intercourse poses a problem. I do believe the statement of Don't use it you loose it. I'm not sure how much longer it will be before the catheter can come out again.

All the best.

I happened to get this in my mailbox and had a similar problem over 5 years but I fixed it. for me it was a combination of not being around women for a very long time and high blood pressure. My testosterone levels dropped and the urologist said that that is where the phrase "if you dont use it you lose it" came from. (you need to get your hormone levels up as well to keep him going.. you may have low estrogen and even low testosterone levels yourself believe it or not) I too found that once I was exposed to a woman's pheramones again my levels immediately went up, my semen volume increased and lots of routine oral sex ( like I was use to ) began to change things back to the way it was before. I too lost a few inches and was always big for my size. It has been very detrimental as a man to have this happen and I would give your husband as much support as possible since he had no control over what was happening to him. It is also brought on by high blood pressure as well and can result in impotence so he should get to a urologist, get some testosterone supplements and have his BP checked and controled. It will take time but he should be able to come back if you do these things from what I have been experiencing. I've already gained about one inch back in two months after being idel for years intentionally (head games with women.. needed a break). You need to let him masterbate whenever he feels like it.. let him watch internet porn or something to help get his levels up and to keep him big as often as possible. Don't be jealous.. have fun with it.. play games.. take turns.. give him oral sex while he watches.. Men are visually stimulated unlike women who are emotionally stimulated..make him sexual again and it should turn around. Good luck..
