Why does my penis shrink when I take speed?

It isn’t unusual for men to notice that their penis seems smaller when using speed or other drugs, such as ecstasy. People are surprised because these drugs are often linked with increased sex drive. This side effect is usually caused by a reduction in the flow of blood to the penis.

If you’re planning on taking drugs, it’s always important for you to find out about the risks and effects. Speed is a stimulant, which means it increases brain activity and the rate at which your body functions. It may create a buzz, but there are also a lot of side effects, like difficulty in getting and maintaining an erection. This has to do with the impact of the drug on the size of your blood vessels, which are basically narrowed in diameter. As a result, the blood has difficulty flowing through and this can make your penis look more like a little finger.

If this happens frequently and you’re worried, you might want to think about talking to your GP for advice. Of course the best way to keep this from happening and to avoid long term side effects is to stop using speed.

At the same time, if you would like to talk to someone about reducing or stopping your use you can contact Frank on 0300 123 6600 or a local support service.
