Retraction and Turtling
On various blogs, discussion groups and forums, turtling or retraction are often discussed both in the context of how to treat this issue and in the context of how it can affect the process of penile augmentation or girth enhancement. Below we will discuss what these terms mean, what causes turtling and retraction and then what treatments are currently available. There are treatment options for those looking to address these issues. Additionally we have treatment for those who are “growers not showers.” At GetMoreGirth (GMG) we are here boost your confidence and improve your sexual satisfaction.
Penile Retraction and Turtling
Penile retraction, commonly known as turtling, is when the penis shrinks or retracts into the body. This retraction is primarily present when flaccid. Turtling is caused by several factors. Cold, stress, anxiety and some medical conditions all can cause turtling. Turtling doesn’t affect the size of your penis at all, but it can make you feel self-consciousness, especially if you are smaller to begin with. Penile retraction is also a concern in that it can potentially affect the outcome of an augmentation procedure.

Causes of Penile Retraction and Turtling
Several factors can cause penile retraction and turtling:
1. Cold Temperatures: Cold causes the penis and scrotum to shrink. The smooth muscle in the shaft of the penis and the cremaster muscle act to pull the penis and scrotum towards the body when it’s cold in an attempt to conserve heat.
2. Stress and Anxiety: Stress and anxiety causes muscle smooth contraction. So, when you are stressed or anxious your sympathetic nervous system, the flight or fight system kicks in and pulls the smooth muscles of your penis and scrotum inward. It makes sense in that it is your bodies way to pull those important parts of you away from danger.
3. Weight: Fat in the pubic area, specifically supra pubic fat makes the penis look smaller. This is not actually retraction or turtling but when combined with actual turtling it affects the perceived size of the penis.
4. Genetics: Turtling is a result of the sympathetic nervous systems control of the smooth muscles in your penis and scrotum. How active your sympathetic nervous system is in response to factors such as cold, stress and anxiety and how much your nervous system affects your smooth muscles all depends on your genetics.
Treatment for Turtling
At GetMoreGirth we can’t change your genetics, but we do have treatment options for turtling.
– Botox: Botox and other neurotoxins can be used to treat turtling. The Botox is injected into the smooth muscle at the base of the penis and in the scrotum. Botox then acts to prevent muscle contraction and turtling in response to stimuli like cold and anxiety.
– Tadalafil: Tadalafil, or Cialis is also helpful for turtling. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis and scrotum making them less contractile. As a bonus it also improves blood flow to the penis and erection quality.
Grower Not a Shower
The term “grower not a shower” describes men whose penises are much bigger erect as compared to when flaccid or soft. This is a different issue than turtling, but it impacts men in that same way. It makes them self-conscious about their penis especially when they are not erect. The large difference between the flaccid and erect states impacts a man’s confidence. Also, who doesn’t want to look bigger all the time. At get GMG we can make you a shower!
