In this video, Dr. Jen Caudal, a practicing family physician, discusses the potential effects of not having frequent sex on the male penis. She explains that infrequent sexual activity can cause the tissues around the penis to become less elastic and can lead to some shrinkage, resulting in a shorter penis. Additionally, she points out that infrequent sex may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction later in life. On the positive side, Dr. Caudal mentions studies suggesting that frequent ejaculation could lower the risk of prostate cancer. Overall, she emphasizes the importance of sexual health as an integral part of overall well-being.

Today, we are going to talk about what happens to your penis if you don’t have sex for a long time or if you have sex infrequently. I’m Dr. Jen Caudle, a practicing family physician and health expert. Let’s jump right into it.
The first change that can occur if you don’t have sex frequently is that the tissue around your penis can become less elastic and shrink. This can result in your penis being 1 to 2 cm shorter. Infrequent sex can lead to decreased elasticity and shrinkage of the tissue, causing your penis to shrink.
It’s important to note that I’ve done some videos on the average penis size, so if you’re interested, check out those videos. Now, let’s move on to the next point.
The second change is that infrequent sex may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction later in life. While this is not a one-size-fits-all situation, studies suggest that infrequent sex may lead to a higher risk of erectile dysfunction in some individuals.
Now, let’s briefly discuss why erections are important. Erections occur when there is increased blood flow to the penis. This blood flow is vital for overall penis health. Strong and longer erections contribute to a healthy penis. If you don’t have frequent erections, you may be at a disadvantage compared to others who do.
It’s worth mentioning that I have other videos on sexual health, including changes that occur as the penis ages and information on erectile dysfunction and low testosterone. You may find these videos helpful as well.
The fourth and final change we’ll discuss is related to ejaculation. Studies suggest that men who ejaculate more frequently may have a lower risk of prostate cancer. While some studies refute this, it’s important to note that ejaculation is generally considered a healthy process for our bodies.
To summarize, not only is it essential to take care of our physical and mental health, but also our sexual health. Sexual health is an integral part of overall well-being. Erections, blood flow, and ejaculation all play crucial roles in maintaining penis health. This discussion only scratches the surface, as there are many other aspects to consider, including the psychological benefits of sexual intimacy.
If you have any questions, I encourage you to consult with your doctor. Use this video as a starting point to discuss any concerns you may have. And remember, safe, consensual sex is always advocated. Take care of your sexual health for a healthier overall lifestyle.
