Hi, Thanks for writing in. You are doing well for your age. At 49 having a penis 4.5 inches when soft and 5.9 inches when hard is above average. The penis, like most organs is made of muscles and soft tissues. In males, a good erection can be achieved till about 65 - 70 years age. If you are getting good erections then there is no reason to worry. At 18, you were just entering adulthood and at that time, due to strong influence of testosterone and nutrition, the muscles are much more active than at 49 years. Also, you might have been lean at that time, and presently you weigh around 220 lbs which is slightly overweight for your age. It is also possible that due to being over weight there is apparent decrease in measurement of penis size because of deposition of fat in waist and pubic regions. There is no need to worry.
