Let's say this....circulation is needed elsewhere. Do you get sweaty down there? This can also cause shriveling. Make sure you stay hydrated. Also, make sure that you are wearing appropriate support for your "members" of the family down there.

It may be that your blood supply is going to areas of the body where it is more needed.
You can increase your blood supply by drinking at least 2.5 litres of mineral water every day.

During exercise the body needs to increase the delivery of oxygen, nutrients and blood to active muscle tissues (i.e. heart, lungs, legs etc) it also needs to increase its activity to remove heat, Co2, water and metabolic waste. An increased cardiac output will maintain your blood pressure by supplying your vital organs (i.e. kidneys - which maintain blood pressure by autoregulation). So, in short, the reason your penis shrivels during exercise is because your body needs to ensure that all the vital organs are perfused to maintain life and sadly the penis isn't needed to maintain life (in this regard!)

mine does too. I think its learned its lesson from being kicked so many times whilst out running & now it knows to keep tucked away
