When men get old, do their penises shrink quite a bit??

Oh God I hope not. Getting old is hard enough. You forget where you put the remote, start calling Twitter "The Twitter." Wait a minute...I do that now! My penis is going to start shrinking at an alarming rate!

No. They don't shrink with age. As Seinfeld told us, there is some "shrinkage" after we go in the pool or take a polar bear swim in the icy cold ocean. But as Viagra ads and the movie It's Complicated tell us, older men have hot, active sex lives with no fear of penis shrinkage.

Why the concern? Are you dating an older man? Are you a young man concerned about the fate of your member? Relax. Everything is fine.

Although, they do say the penis can shrivel up and die from lack of use. Just something to keep in mind.

It shrinks with weight gain. Many men gain weight as they age and you can loose an inch for every 35lbs of extra weight!

Technically that's not true. Penises aren't like breasts-- they are not composed of fatty tissue. Fat on the lower abdomen can cause it to look smaller, as the base is being covered up.

Anyway, it should be noted that I'm not a doctor. But based on my research, and vague memory of 8th grade sex education, I am pretty certain that the penis doesn't shrink with age.

As an old fat guy (I just turned 61) I can somewhat back up Adrias comment.
Because the base of the penis is attached to the pelvic bone, as you expand some of it gets coverd up. Effectively shorting it's length.

The shrinking with weight thing is kind of true. The base of the penise iks ancored to the pelvic bone, so as he expands it covers it up, effectivly making it shorter.

If the older man is physically fit and keeps his sex life active there is no shrinkage. My man is equipped at 50 and is a better lover now after 25 years than when we first met. He keeps his body tone and it's a complete turn on!

Well...being a 75 year old man...200 pounds heavier than i was when i was 20...and if that was true about the 35 pounds shrinks it one inch...than i would be at a negative 2 inch penis right now. Def not true. My honeys still love my sexual appearance down there.
