Urologists have observed that complaints about erectile dysfunction among men can increase by up to 20% during the winter months.
What can be done about this issue? Suggestions include wearing warm underwear, spending less time outdoors in frigid temperatures, and managing stress. Many doctors believe the problem can stem from what is often referred to as the "big head" rather than the "little head." If shrinkage does not resolve after warming up, it could indicate underlying health issues like hypertension or vascular problems.
Hibernating and staying indoors until spring is not an option!
Do you experience shrinkage? What solutions would you suggest?

Fact and I have proofs🤭
@Minnimei How did you deal with it?
@sexyldy1000 Nothing I can do but warm it up🤭
When I was a child I learned from my father how it is important to dress for properly for cold weather . He was from Canada and grew up on the family farm in Ontario. To this day I still use what I learned particular on my previous job.
With my manhood needs to be warmed up when he is cold , my wife enjoys using her body to warm him and the reward of the stiffness it brings ❤️
@jc_powerman Thank you for sharing your experience and the wisdom passed down from your father. Dressing properly for cold weather is indeed crucial, especially in Canada. Stay warm and take care! 😊
Hubs works out on the farm at least one day of every week year round. In the winter months, he wears long johns and work pants until below freezing and then adds insultated carhartt overalls or coveralls. When moving around, this keeps his "willy" suitably warm up against his body and protects it from the wind. I don't really worry about shrinkage as it is still perfectly fine by the time it is ready to be buried in my warmth.
@CL_Love It is great your husband has found practical way to stay warm during those chilly winter months on the farm. Layering up with long johns and insulated gear is definitely the way to go. No doubt you would enjoy warming him up!
Wishing you both a warm and wonderful winter season!
A cold wind blowing and rain soaked jeans have a real reducing effect!
@easyrider4008 Yikes! I bet they do. How do you fix the problem?
@sexyldy1000 Find a lady with warm hands!
Shrinkage is real but not really a problem as warmth alone will cause expansion to normal at rest dimensions. Some sexual heat properly applied leads to full expansion.
Sending you big Happy New Year hugs.
@justskin1 Shrinkage is indeed a real phenomenon, but it's usually temporary and resolves with warmth. Applying heat can help restore normal dimensions. Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Looking forward to your forthcoming in-depth (or NOT - as the case may be) reporting on this issue.
@CleavageFan4U I am expecting men to provide their perspective on this phenomenon.
actually found that a cooler bed (in winter time) gives me a nice erection. it is counter intuitive. When I lived in Ottawa, always kept the window in my bedroom open a crack in winter time. I would make it up to my partner by keeping her toasty all night long
@pussylovergta16 Thanks for sharing your experience! It's interesting how different things work for different people. Glad to hear you found a way to stay cozy and happy during those chilly Ottawa winters!
"Willy warmers!" Hilarious! 😂
@JN63JPN I have vague Christmas memories of Mother giving my Dad and brothers handmade ones 😊
My breasts have never shrank in the cold. Or not that I can tell. I haven't measured Cowboy in each season so no idea if he shrinks in the winter. I suppose I can seek volunteers
@PonyGirl1965 It's interesting how our bodies respond differently to the cold. As for Cowboy, I'm sure he's quite the charmer in every season! And seeking volunteers? Now that's a spirited approach! 😄
Thanks for adding some humour to the discussion. Stay warm and keep those comments coming!
Complaining about ED is not the same as shrinkage. I'm fairly certain that it 'turtles' ... pulls up and in, where it's warmer, like a turtle pulling into its shell
@superbjversion2 You're absolutely right—erectile dysfunction and shrinkage are different issues. The "turtling" effect you mentioned is a natural response to cold, where the body tries to conserve heat.
"When the body is exposed to cold temperatures, the cremasteric reflex kicks in. The cremaster muscle, a thin layer of muscle covering the testicles, contracts to pull the scrotum and testicles closer to the body. This action helps the testicles maintain a warmer temperature, shielding them from the cold and ensuring that sperm production isn’t affected.
While this process is mainly intended to protect the testicles, the penis also retracts in response to cold temperatures. This is primarily because the penis shares a vascular and muscular network with the scrotum, causing it to contract as well. In cold weather, the penis shrinks in both length and girth as a way to minimize heat loss and preserve warmth." Ahh....the beauty of the human body in action......
@redswallow777 Absolutely, the human body is fascinating! The cremasteric reflex is a perfect example of how our bodies adapt to protect vital functions. It's amazing how the body has built-in mechanisms to maintain optimal conditions, even in cold weather. Thanks for sharing your insightful explanation.
Aside from the aftermath of dips in cold lakes and pools, I've never experienced shrinkage.
Although, that "Willy Warmer" might have come in handy last weekend when we had insanely cold weather. 😲😂
@Paulxx001 Sounds like a ‘Willy Warmer' could be a lifesaver during those frigid temperatures! It's great to hear you generally don't experience shrinkage. Stay warm and cozy!
Could help
My partner doesn't seem to have this issue.
@smartasswoman Here’s to staying warm & happy. A win-win for both of you! 😊
They do shrink when it's cold I have seen it, and there isn't much you can do but try to warm it up for them..
Great article today, thanks for sharing it with us, I am sure it will come in handy.
I hope your Monday is a momentous start to the last week of this year..
@Tmptrzz It's definitely a common reaction to cold, and having someone who understands and helps warm things up is always a plus. Glad you enjoyed the article and found it helpful. Stay warm and cozy! 😊
I've not noticed penis shrinkage but my testicles go into hiding when very cold!
@spunkycumfun It's quite common for the testicles to retreat in response to cold temperatures. The body's natural reflexes are designed to protect vital functions and maintain warmth. Stay cozy and take care!
