A member asked:
Can you get penis atrophy or shrinkage due to a lack of usage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is what it is! if you are a healthy person and are celebate, there would be no reason to believe you would have any change in or function of you penis. It should work just fine and be the same as it ever was if you begin to be sexually active again.
