Consider seeing a: Urologist for ur condition- phimosis, which needs circumcision. Taking otc nsaids/motrin may help in the meantime. Take care! http://www.Medicinenet.Com/script/main/mobileart.Asp?Articlekey=172031.

Yes : Weight gain , obesity and less use of the penis make it become smaller and wasting of the muscle, cause the penis is a muscle if you don't use it it becomes smaller do to the muscle becoming inactive.
