Is it common knowledge for you ladies that there are growers and showers? A guy can "hang out" at 3 inches and grow to 7 where as another can can be a soft 5 but only grow to 6. (these numbers are examples only). NOT starting ANOTHER size/size insecurity thread here AT ALL. Just a simple yes most of us know or no most of us didn't will suffice lol. -JRod is just curious:-) Mine is a grower not a shower which kinda sucks sometimes. Hahaha

Yes. I am sure a lot of women know that some erections can be more obvious, as in the case of a 3 inches flaccid and 7 erect male.

Yes, my ex was a grower, my BF is impressive both ways! The way I see it, the only people who see you flaccid and don't see your 'growth potential' are those you are not aroused around, so who cares?

I've never heard a girl complain about a man being either.

A funnier question would be how much do you shrivel up while in ice cold water up to your neck. Everything disappears for the most part and my testicles seem to be drawn into my body. From that point, I can definitely say I'm a grower of multiple times. Of course, going directly to sex from such a dip in the water would be impossible until I warmed up some.

^ lol all I can think of is Seinfeld.

Jerry: Do women know about shrinkage?
Elaine: What do you mean like laundry?
Jerry: No, like when a man goes swimming afterwards.
Elaine: It shrinks?
Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!
Elaine: Why does it shrink?
George Costanza: It just does.
Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.

To all of the girls at my 30th birthday party who saw my willy when the stripper pulled my shorts down after stripping me down to my underwear (after I expressly told her not to) it was cold in that bar, really, really cold. They must have left the air con on or something.

To be honest, I totally did not know this at first. Actually, if I'm being completely honest, the first time I saw my boyfriend's penis I didn't even know that's what they looked like haha so I may not be the best example. But I guess I assumed that during an erection, all they did was sort of, idk, swell up and get stiff? My boyfriend is exactly like your "grower" example. For awhile I only saw my boyfriends penis when it was hard at about 7 inches. It was kind of a shock to me the first time I saw it all tiny and floppy haha I had no idea that they could "grow" so much

I was like this with my first GF, she didn't see me flaccid for about the first two months!

This will just validate how much size is not an issue. My hubby is a grower and I really mean grower. He can be as little as 1 inch and its not after jumping into the ice water. The funny thing is I never even took notice of it because I has happy with the sex we had. Only about 2 years ago (after being married 10 years) did i notice it and had a sense of alarm that he was shrinking. Also, this is the time my sex drive kicked back up and I was feeling very unsatisfied sexually. Actually, his size hadn't changed at all and he is still a nice size (I think 6) when he is erect. Its just when there are other issues, we look for a reason and often misplace the blame.

But no, I did not know men could be growers or showers.
