A member asked:
My penis retracts two thirds of the way inwards when i become angry, nervous or during fear. could recurrent priapisms be the reason behind this?

NO: Priapism is an exceptionally prolonged,often painful erection. Psychological factors such as anxiety, stress, depression, anger, frustration, etc will cause quite the opposite effect: penis reteats or retracts.
