If a penis always retracts extremely from anxiety and stress, can this become damaging after some point in time?

Get a check up: I would see my primary care doctor and explain your concerns with him or her. They will be discreet and understanding. If necessary they may recommend a specialist.

Anxiety: Very unlikely,the fight or flight response, which is normal but gets over activated in anxiety, causes blood to shunt away from the digestive tract and reproductive organs. When you calm down blood goes back to normal. But please get a checkup from your Physician to rule out any organic issues, and if needed, prescription for safe medication to help manage anxiety.
