FORUMS > Gay Men's Health Forum Rules

Went to the dr's yesterday and was put into the examination room, but I forgot to take a book. So I looked around to see what mischief I could get into. Oooo...the scales with a height measurer.

Hello!?!?!?! I am an inch and a half shorter than I used to be! I'm shrinking. Prolly due to the absence of testosterone for all those months resulting in bone loss in the vertebrae and maybe even shrinkage in the pads btw the vertebrae.

I LOVE SHORT MEN...but it doesnt mean I wanted to become one...not that there is anything wrong with that.

That is very strange, and you are definitely too young to shrink. So as your testosterone levels get back to normal do you just become a normal horny gay male, but 1.5" shorter (at least it does not shrink another part of the body, that would be a real bummer).

I guess normal but shorter...

As far as the other possible shrinkage, I have heard prostate cancer guys who have had surgery say they lose about an inch in length... ...dont ask me why. I dont know about guys who went thru radiation and hormone therapy, like me. I can say I wake up with great throbbing woodies in the morning...never thought to measure them yet...and orgasms are getting fiercer as time goes on.

So... you gonna change the stats on your profile to reflect the decrease in height?

I have changed it... I just cant believe I have shrunk.. .... but I had the nurse check it out for me...5'8.5 ...

It blows me away!

you're getting older, time to hike those pants up to your nipples

Timberoo saidyou're getting older, time to hike those pants up to your nipples

the pants arent hiked up to the nipples, the nipples have come down to the pants! now we know why old men's pants are like that ....hahahahahahahaha ...

Two things make your experience statistically meaningless:

1) These height measuring scales are never calibrated. They can be INCHES off. Unless you're measuring yourself from a consistent baseline any measurement is meaningless.

2) Your height naturally varies as much as a 1/2 during the day as your spinal discs compress under the daily strain of supporting your back. You are at your tallest in the morning. Astronauts gain an inch in height after spending extended time (multiple days) in zero gravity.

So: ignore it.

Did you drink that bottle?!

LOL

One pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small
and the ones that mother gives you
don't do anything at all

that's funny, looking at you makes me do the opposite of shrink, Caslon.

I agree with Iguana. I know for a fact that I'm 5'9" and when I went to my new doc here in LA he measured me at 5'11". I called him on it and he admitted that his equipment hadn't been calibrated in a long time.

Anyway Caslon, even if it's true you will be short, but sweet. Well, not TOO sweet I hope. After all you have sort of become the tough-love RJer. So yeah, short but tough... and sweet.

Could also be the shoes that you're wearing?
