At 27, the symptoms you describe are more commonly related to erection quality and sexual-performance anxiety than to an actual reduction in penile size. Regular masturbation by itself does not cause permanent penile shrinkage or erectile damage. When an erection is not completely firm, the penis naturally appears shorter and smaller, and its non-erect size can also vary considerably with temperature, stress, anxiety and blood flow. The fact that you sometimes develop erections with sexual thoughts or stimulation is reassuring, although difficulty maintaining sufficient firmness during partnered sex can occur when anxiety and fear of failure become part of the sexual response. This can create a cycle of anticipation, reduced arousal and loss of erection.

Health Tips
Maintain regular physical activity, adequate sleep and a balanced lifestyle, and minimise excessive alcohol, smoking and other factors that can negatively affect sexual function. During masturbation, avoid making erection hardness or ejaculation the sole objective; a relaxed and natural approach is preferable. Most importantly, do not judge your sexual capability solely by penile size or by a few unsuccessful attempts at penetration. Erectile confidence and sexual performance often improve substantially when the anxietyâperformance cycle is addressed appropriately. Thank you
