flaccid

Soft and droopy

Flaccid means soft and limp, lacking firmness or tension.

A flaccid muscle has lost its tone; a flaccid penis is not erect.

The word extends to anything lacking vigor or force: flaccid prose, a flaccid handshake, flaccid leadership.

Pronounced with a hard or soft c—both are standard.
