Sometimes I get anxiety attacks and it seems like my penis is going into my body, like disappearing. Is it?!

Your body IE penis is responding to the fight or flight experience of a panic attack
it will come out upon relaxing

It's impossible, in that it's never been recorded and I sincerely doubt that you are the first.. Assuming you have normal muscles (or at least, not SEVERELY DEFORMED) at the base of your penis, you won't lose your penis inside your body.. Contrary to popular belief, there isn't an empty space for your penis to sink into - and all of the penis you see when you are erect, you see when you are flaccid.. Nothing comes up from inside your body when you get an erection, but what you have outside just fills with blood..

You are suffering what is known as "penis anxiety" - the mistaken belief that one's penis is shrinking or sinking into the body.. It's a fairly common anxiety - in fact, it seems to happen in waves, where a large number of males in one area suddenly report penis anxiety at around the same time..

These anxieties are never founded in fact.. Your penis will not shrink or disappear inside your body, never to return..Health Question & Answer

Yes, and no.. When the human male is frightened (and that is basically what an anxiety attack is) the body automatically goes into 'fight or flight' mode (extra adrenaline) and what is the MOST IMPORTANT part of a man's anatomy as far as reproduction is concerned ...... his penis and testicals.. The 'adrenaline' causes both to 'pull into the body' for safety sake.. The good news is that once you are not frightened any more, they drop back down to 'normal..' All you are is a NORMAL MALE, and I do hope you are getting help for those anxiety attacks, but don't be frightened about 'losing your manhood' ...... actually what is happening is that your body is PROTECTING your manhood from any possible harm..Health Question & Answer

Your penis cannot simply disappear! Normally in a situation like this an individual has a mental condition paired with a physical anomaly.. Your fear of losing your penis will simply result in your penis shriveling up and drying out.. It will fall off naturally without any prying or pulling, however, like a scab it may be stubborn.. If this happens and your penis fragment remains attached take a pair of tweezers or shears and pluck/snip it off..Health Question & Answer

this is a dangerous problem, my ex husband had it regularly, when it occured i would simply hang onto the end and stop it fully dissapearing, into the body.. unfortunately one day it did dissapear and as he could not sexually please me, we divorced.. go to your doctors, you do not want to lose your penis..Health Question & Answer

Sounds like the infamous "turtle effect.." It is just a temporary protective reflex reaction to stress/perceived threat.. Men's bodies do this in response to cold, too - like when you get out of the shower and experience "shrinkage.." Don't worry, the turtle always comes out of his shell, once the danger has passed..Health Question & Answer

OMFG!!! that's it i'm tying my d*** to a cinder block during the night..

Seriously though you do need to see a doctor.. As blood flow is constricted it can shrink so that it seems smaller but as for sucking itself in i havn't heard of that..

disclaimer: don't try to fix the problem by strapping your d*** to a brick, that stunt was performed by paid proffessionals in a controlled environmentHealth Question & Answer
