Question:
Aside from the question 'does size matter' - does size 'change'?

Could anybody share with me whether there is the perception that for a guy, after he loses much of his weight, his 'manhood' appears to be bigger. For me, the fleshy area in my pubic area causes me to appear pretty short. When depressed, it helps reposition things. I wonder if the weight loss will cause this fleshy area to reduce and make things look more interesting there. Weird question, but it is one of the many self conscious things that an overweight male, or at least me, have gone thru in this life. Thanks for your understanding...    — Lynn P.

I'm 126 pounds down now and it appears to be bigger to me. I think it's because of the shrinkage of the fat pad...JR

Even though you were writing to men for an answer, the mons area (the fatty pad that both men and women have, though men have their penis grow out of the middle!) does gain weight too...I have noticed just the 70 pounds I have lost has changed the appearance, and I notice sex feels much better now that pelvic contact is closer. I am sure you will notice a difference as you lose weight, and I am sure you'll have plenty of energy and opportunity to test your theory! Good luck to you. P.S. Any sex question you can think of can be answereda at www.sexuality.org.

In a magazine article I recently read(can I recall the author or mag? No.) the topic was weight loss and the impact on physical appearance. Most notable in the article with regard to your question was whether weight loss changes the 'length' of the penis. It is not that the length has changed rather the visible length has changed. The article stated that as little as 15-20# loss can translate to a 1" - 2" gain in length.
