A while back (maybe a couple of months ago) here in GQ, someone posted a thread called something like “penis related question” that enumerated some symptoms his little friend was undergoing – abnormally tight dry ring of skin back of the circumcision scar, inflammation, etc. I have a friend who seems to be suffering the same thing, and I was going to try to find that old thread to see if there was any helpful advice. Alas, I have completely failed to make the search function work on this site. Would one of you amazing people who can get the search function to cough up for you be so kind as to help me find this link? Thank you. * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef ---

Don’t know what it is Cheffy, but an ex (who was a large guy, go figure) had a similar problem when he got a yeast infection on his penis. His doctors prescribed a daily iodine wash in the shower. It is common for larger guys especially if they have a peakaboo penis(nice scientific term detailing the fact that some men have a penis that retracts within their bodies when they are not erect). If I had a problem like that, I would go to the doctor right away because it may be a sign of something more pervasive. HUGS and a Kiss for the cutie that is Cheffy!

Ruffian, surely you can’t have reached adulthood without hearing that the size of a man’s flaccid penis is no predictor of its size when erect. Cecil himself has said that things tend to even out; smaller penises often grow amazingly, while the ones that are bigger when soft usually don’t grow as much. The peekaboo penis phenomenon, as I understand it, is due more to an overweight man’s body obscuring the penis than to actual retraction. anyway, I’m sure you can imagine that if there are people with peekaboo penises reading this thread, your remarks would land somewhere between embarrassing and insulting. * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef ---

I had a friend who had a large red ring completely circling his penis so he went to the doctor straight away. The doctor saw it and started laughing. My friend asked the doc if it was serious and the doc told him it was lipstick. Ba boom! ---

Wow, I had no idea I’d prompt that kind of response. But then again, we’re discussing penises. It can get personal. I did think, later of course when nothing could be undone, that a man with a “peekaboo” penis may have read my comment and been offended. Understand that was not my intent. I was just reacting with genuine surprise–I’ve never heard of this phenomenon. I am well aware that the size of a flaccid penis is by no means indicative of erect size. Some are simply more flexible than others. 😉 However, I had never heard of “peekaboo penis,” and coming off my “Where is a cat’s penis” thread, retractable penises were on the mind. I had the image of, essentially, a man whose penis retracts much like a cat’s–one completely invisible, no matter how closely searched, unless aroused. I most certainly didn’t know it was associated with overweight men, and I most certainly did not intend to sound mocking of overweight people. I spoke (so to speak…um…type…um…whatever) out of ignorance, a huge no-no here. As a SDMBer for over 2 years, you’d think I’d have figured that out by now. My apologies to anyone offended. Is there a proper medical term for “peekaboo” penises? I’d like to do some research on them online. * * * Teaching: The ultimate birth control method.
