Obesity and the Small Member Even in today’s health-conscious culture, obesity continues to be a major problem. According to a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1 in 3 adults in America are considered obese. Clearly, obesity is a general health concern, but for men it can also be a male organ health issue. And beyond health, there’s another factor to consider: men who are obese tend to present with a small member. Small member appearance Does this mean that obesity causes a man’s member to shrink? Not exactly. Instead, being overweight causes the manhood to appear smaller than it actually is. Part of this is an illusion and has to do with seeing things in comparison. For example, imagine two men standing unclothed next to each other, each with a tumescence measuring six inches long and having the same girth. Assume they are the same height, but that one has a waist measuring 34 inches and one a waist measuring 44 inches. Because there is so much more mass “framing” the tumescence in the second instance, it is going to appear smaller than the tumescence on the first, leaner man. But there are other, more insidious ways that obesity contributes to the appearance of a small member. As stated, being fat does not make the manhood actually shrink. However, as a man’s belly grows, so does his midsection pad. This area grows out over the base of the member, hiding that portion underneath a layer of fat. It’s estimated that every 40-50 extra pounds a man gains hides about an inch of his male organ in this way. So his manhood may still technically be six inches long – but with an inch hidden away, it appears to be only five inches. How else does a small member result from obesity? Well, obesity is associated with tumescence dysfunction. Blood vessels are weakened by excess fat, so that his hardness is not as full and strong, thus when the member becomes firm, it often is not as long as it was in the past.
