Genital Retraction Syndrome

    Genital Retraction Syndrome describes a person that is overcome the fear that his or her external sexual organs are shrinking, retracting into the body to the point of complete disappearance, and/or removed. This includes men feeling that his penis is retracting/disappearing, and women feeling like her breasts are getting retracting/disappearing. Although it has been seen in females, it is far more typically found in males.


    Another peculiar thing about this condition is its ability to spread within a population. For this to happen, groups of men/women will begin to believe that his or her genitals are shrinking or completely gone. The members of the group will inevitably start to talk with each other about it and, before you know it, everyone thinks they have Genital Retraction Syndrome.



   
 The causes of this syndrome are believed to be food poisoning, excessive masturbation, sexual intercourse with a prostitute, and witchcraft. It is appropriate now to state that the disorder is most common in places like China and Asia, where there is a lack of medical information.


    Western psychologists claim that Genital Retraction Syndrome is related to the stress that comes with sexual anxiety. As most of us already know, [cold weather and] emotional anxiety may cause the genitals to shrink, thereby “confirming” the presence of this disorder.


    That being said, there has been no scientific evidence to support the existence of this syndrome. While many victims have brought harm to themselves in an attempt to reverse the syndrome’s effects (i.e. elongating his or her genitals with the use of a clamp, weight, or something similar), the syndrome is considered to scientists to be fabricated.
