Question:
Ever since i ended my last relationship, it seems the size of my penis has reduced. Reading some of the questions on this site i surmise that perhaps it is more psychological that biological, but are there any proven cases where the size of a penis has reduced because of a failed relationship? My second concern is that my opinion of my own sexuality and attractiveness is low. Although i feel slightly depressed at times, i have used this low confidence in sexuality to focus on other aspects of my life such as academics. using psychiatric conventions, is this a common phenomenon and am i showing signs of any major depressive or obcessive syndromes? In order to be a better person, i wish to be a little less active about my sexuality in the future, do you think that this is healthy?

I think you raise some interesting questions. Please know that is it not uncommon to feel a bit depressed after the end of an important relationship. In terms of penis size however, this is not altered physically by a relationship -but as you suggest, you may feel psychologically as if your penis is smaller.
In terms of your second question: yes, I do think it is common for someone who does not feel attractive to find other things to focus on and to fill their time. I worry that this is a diversion from dealing with your own lack of self-esteem. Perhaps you could talk to someone about how you are feeling - a professional counselor can help to determine if you are depressed or just going through a normal phase in your development.
Perhaps you could begin by reading a great book such as: The New Male Sexuality by Bernie Zilbergeld. I do think your idea of waiting to become sexually invovlved until you feel more confident about yourself is a good idea. Best wishes!Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
