Why does my penis shrink during exercise?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Shrinking penis: Since blood is diverted away from non-vital organs during strenuous physical activity, it is not uncommon for a man's phallus to "shrink" during exertion/physical activity.

Blood flow: During exercise increased blood flows to the muscles being used and decreased flow to those which are not.
