Shrinkage after a Gym workout

Hi guys, I've been doing some searches because I thought this had to have been asked before, but I couldn't find any so here goes.

After I workout, weightlifting, running, even yoga, my penis and balls shrink quite a bit as though I was cold. It takes a while for it to come back to normal. I was wondering if there was any way to prevent/counteract this. It's not a huge deal, but especially when I'm working out with my girlfriend I'd like things to look as enticing as possible!

Well I think it's quite normal, it happens to me after I lift weights, especially if I have some tight boxers under the pants. Blood is rushing towards other areas (your muscles) leaving places where it's less needed (your penis).

Of course soon after 10 minutes or so and doing a few helicopter shakes it should go back to normal.

The same thing happens to me. I think WildBlue's explanation makes perfect sense.

That stands to reason and is pretty much what I figured. Thanks.

Unless you are lifting naked with your woman a nice warm shower with some shakes should have you looking up to par when she sees it. If you are lifting naked with her concentrate or your penis won't give the blood back for the bigger muscle groups. Either way be safe and enjoy.

Mine shrinks a bit with exercise, but at least due to PE, my shrunken size is the same or bigger as my pre-PE shrunken size, if that makes sense.

Worst though is when it shrinks after being on the pool, and when you get out everything clings to you.

I actually tried lifting naked when I did back day this week since I have my own set of weights here at home. I still shrank a bit. Perhaps I should try it the next time my girlfriend visits so she can watch

I don't experience any shrinkage, I think it's because I edge, mostly 3 consecutive days, finishing on the third, and almost always after PE, unless it's a rest day.
It's only been two months ( properly ) of my routine, but the only time I didn't have a fuller thicker flacid, was when I finished an edging session before PE and didn't edge the two days after.

I think it's partly the blood leaving your genitals to supply the areas of the body your exercising, but I think it can be a response to violent or strenuous activity also as a means to protect the reproductive organs. Plus the less that's on display should mean you can perform your chosen physical activity unhindered. I'm what you would call a grower too, as long as it works when you need it, I wouldn't worry too much.

We've done naked yoga, certainly a fun couples activity. Betcha can't get all the way through a routine!
