It's not your fault: winter penis is really a thing

No, it's not a typo, I'm not talking about a winter carrot. You've probably heard the jokes from men that their great pride shrinks when they hit cold water. I can imagine that this happens in a kind of shock reaction, but now it turns out that men walk around with a smaller thing all winter, compared to summer.

How much smaller does it get?

The difference from the normal state is quite large. You really can't miss it if your lover has this issue. The length of a flaccid penis can decrease by up to 50% in extreme cold. The volume will also decrease by about 20-30% due to the skin contracting. So it's really reassuring that this only applies to the flaccid sack and penis, and that it's really just temporary. Once the body warms up again, it ‘grows’ back to normal.

It's a very clever action from the body

By shrinking like this, it's easier to retain heat and thus protect the precious parts from the cold. So it doesn't mean there are health issues, quite the opposite! The only annoying thing is that it's a bit harder for men to keep the penis erect during the moments when you are warming each other up. But of course, you can help with that.
