According to the Kinsey Institute, the average erect, adult penis size is 5 to 6 1/2 inches. “Showers” are the same size flaccid or erect. “Growers” are typically 1 – 4 inches flaccid but — when they’re hard — they grow. I’m a straight woman, and I really like penetration. So, here’s where the calculations come in. Go Ask Alice, Columbia University’s sexual health site, says the average vaginal depth is 3 to 4 inches. But, we know the cervix and uterus rise during arousal — thus lengthening the lady canal an inch or two. Get it? Whip out your calculators and rulers. For the straight folks: shove a 5 – 6.5 inch erect penis inside a 5 – 6.5 (or so) inch aroused vagina. It’s a near perfect match. Waaaay too many heterosexual men worry about penis size. For the most part, most guys are juuuust right.
So, here’s the question, given the end result for “showers” and “growers” is roughly the same size (and fits comfortably into most vaginas), which would you rather — a “shower” who lets you know exactly what to expect or a “grower” who whips out a compact tool that surprises you with a BAM once it’s hard? My preference? I like both. Two of the biggest men I’ve ever been with were showers. They were long, thick, hard and delicious. That said, I’m also a fan of growers because I enjoy gawking at the physicality of arousal. Growers turn me on as I tug, squeeze, lick and suck them until they swell into big, hard, muscular fucking machines. What’s your preference? Or, if you’re one of the earth’s bedicked creatures, tell us: Which are you? A shower or a grower? (Psst! It’s okay. We’re all friends here; you can tell us. It will be our little secret.)

Kinsey Institute and Alice does not mention what matters to me. GIRTH! Length meh. Thick, yes!
Yeah, but TOO think can be uncomfortable. Dude, don’t make me talk about my French Canadian ex again!
Definitely a grower here…
YAY for growers! :)
I’m with you – I LOVE to watch it grow. I don’t mind showers, but give me a grower any day.
I don’t think growers know how much women like them!
I’m an “impresser”.
Ooooh, GREAT answer! You totally get the gold star for the day.
Definitely a grower here, But I think if you asked men they would mostly all want to be a shower. That thing is impressive in an open locker room.
IÂ have also known showers that have gotten hookups with the ladies just because they have never seen a shower and expect it to become larger once engorged. There are many woman that want to try a really big penis even if it turns out to only be once to see what it feels like.
Baba Doodlius, you have stolen my opening line. Oh well, life goes on anyway.
I like to watch their faces as it grows from about two-and-a quarter inches to about 13, so I guess that I am a ‘grower’.
WHAT?!?! I call bullshit; there’s not way you’re 13 inches. That’s impossible.
I guess that you will simply have to come to the Los Angeles area to see it for yourself.
Nope, changed my mind. As I recall, you doubted my veracity when I told everyone about having been shot through my eye (where do you think my username “cyclopslb” came from?). Since you doubt so many things, perhaps you are too busy doubting to accept and appreciate that there are many amazing, wonderful (perhaps even credulity-stretching) things in the world. I would not wish to stretch your credulousness in the face of facts. Sorry, but I must now withdraw my offer to show you my majesty.
Tease ;)
Just revisiting some old posts and feel that I owe you an apology for the tone (mean-spirited) of this post.
My girlfriend at the time (and still) is six-one, 175 (drop-dead gorgeous {smart, too}) would not allow me to interact with another woman except in her presence (fine by me). She is also bisexual and would insist on joining. I recall from one of your earlier posts that you are strictly, “a dick chick,” and do not engage in that sort of activity. That is too bad since she is very good at what she does. I do not want to ever subject anyone to something that they find objectionable (and I do not ever send/post those kind of pix.
ANA BEEHEBEC
I guess I’m a grower. 6.5 inches of curved fury!!!
Curves penises add an extra “oomph” to the fun.
Grower here too….no idea what I usually start at, maybe 3.5″ or so, but end up around 6.25″ or so. Nothing to write home about , but it gets the job done just the same.  ;)
ANOTHER GROWER! I love this. Seriously, you guys are awesome.
I’m a grower — about 2″ flaccid, to about 7.25″ fully erect.
I used to obsess over penis size (perhaps watching too much porn as a youth was the problem) but as I grew into sexual (mental) maturity (there is a difference) I learned three things:
1. Banging into a woman’s cervix with callous disregard more than a couple times is one quick way to lose sexual partners. VERY quick (dispelling the whole “length” myth).
2. Width matters more than length to most women I’ve talked to (thank goodness I’m more “night stick” than “pencil”).
3. If your oral game is tight, there is a VERY high probability of “replay” no matter what a woman says about her preference for penis size. After 3-4 strong orally-induced orgasms, most women will take whatever you have to offer, phallically, and be good!
You are sooooo right about the cervix stuff. I’ve found, if a guy is TOO long, I don’t like having sex in certain positions because it’s uncomfortable.
Indeed. Thick penises are delicious. But, I’m not a big woman. So, too, thick can be too much :)
You said, “After 3-4 strong orally-induced orgasms, most women will take whatever you have to offer, phallically, and be good!” <— CO SIGN!!!
Grower…..
I love my grower readers!! :) TEAM GROWERS!
If your birth canal lengthens by ONLY an inch or two, then you are not receiving adequate foreplay.
The flip side of that coin is that you are receiving basically adequate foreplay, but it is lasting less than an hour…….
:)
Grower…. but if the guy is good in bed I’ll pretend it doesn’t matter! SEX is always good
Sex is always good? Hmmm, I don’t know about that :) I’ve had bad and not-so-good sex (i.e. zero foreplay, lasted only a minute or two, then the guy passed into a deep come-like sleep).
Now that’s a new one for me.Whats “showers” and “growers”? sorry am i naive in asking?
Â
All i know, i am a white male residing in NYC in my forties and penis is almost 8 inches when aroused. Funny that i get a hard on in an instance and immediate pre-cum.
Showers†are the same size flaccid or erect. “Growers†are typically 1 – 4 inches flaccid but — when they’re hard — they grow.
Showers “show” what they have. Growers “grow” into a bigger size.
Look around in the shower room next time you’re at the gym.
I need a cold shower now. Thanks Twanna.
You like that one, huh? ;)
Then i am a Grower.
However, i always want that when i am with a woman, it should be flaccid and she should squeeze, lick and suck it until it swells and gets hard. But it never happens because i get an erection in an instant. I wish it can get hard in her mouth
Â
I’ve had that experience several times. It’s fun.
Grower here. I’d say it goes from about 2″ flacid to a touch over 6″ when it’s fully hard (though it looks bigger since I shave most of the hair off down there).
With a post like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if you get pictures from pervy men…in fact, I’d be downright shocked if you didn’t.
I am going to be honest as i figure no need to big note myself i have what i have and can’t change it plus after reading comments above i feel a little more re-assured
Â
I am a 25 year-old Australian Guy who is a Grower i am about 2.5-3inch flaccid and about 5.5 hard which if going by above is right in the middle of average i am also
uncircumsized which apparently is because of my father also is and all the males in my family and the fact i am a 1st generation Aussie being my father was french and my mother english and most men from this part of europe are uncirumsized as is most of the world population
with the exception of the majority of the US
“Let it grow, let it grow, let it blossom let it flow….”
Im proud to say I’m 5’4″ and my grower powers let my dick transform from like 5″ to 9-10(depending on the girl)…and I think this is so funny…for , well since I noticed my dick got bigger I always thought (when i was aware of of the size change happening) “make my monster GROW!” And ladies, reading today, it really is like an unspoken rule of don’t look at each others junk…the insecure guys probably look and don’t say nothin cause they have p-p’s not shlongs…ha!
Grower here……
It grows to about 8 inches…..get very thick and hard….
I’m definitely a grower … probably about 4 inches soft … and 7 erect … sound okay?
Grower here. I’m 20 years old, 3 inches flacid, 6 inches hard, and i think i’m 2.5 inches thick. For a while i was worried about my size, but after i got around a bit i realized most women consider 6 inches, ” a nice cock.” I had heard that from 7 different women, but i was perfectly content to hear it after the first 2 : )
I’m grower =) I used to be teased in high school because other guys that saw me in the locker room thought I was small. I went through a long period of my life thinking I was small too. When women would talk dirty to me and say how big I was during sex, I thought they were just trying to set the mood. Well.. ex girlfriends were telling me not too long ago that I was big.. and until finally a woman broke up with me because she said she couldn’t take it – the pressure and friction was causing her some trouble with her bartholin glands (which was TMI for me.. bleh… look it up). She was pretty tight. So anyway, after that feedback from a couple exes and the reason for the breakup, I measured myself hard at about 8″. I always thought I was average size and had a bit of an insecurity about it. Well, not anymore :P
bartholin glands can apparently become irritated and blocked and require minor surgery to correct… =( sorry, I just had to clarify that because I know someone would be thinking – well he didn’t know how to get her wet. uh huh.. I got her wet alright.. and she was pretty excited having a boyfriend with a big dick for a couple weeks, but just got frustrated when she had to see her gyno.
Well im Proud of what ive got :) lol…
Grower. 3-6/don’t mind it so much anymore.
Grower here as well. however I would rather be a shower. when flaccid its anywhere from 1″ to 2″ and a modest 6″ hard. I have been with over 100 women and have never had any complaints. I was always uncomfortable in the locker room showers. Some of the other guys had these big shlongs that they would parade around. At the time I was unaware of showers and growers. I just assumed those guys with the big shlongs must massive cocks when hard. I feel a little better about it now. One thing no one has mentioned. Maybe its just me. because its so small when flaccid, it sometimes wants to go inside like a turtle head and its quite uncomfortable and a lot of the time it pulls the pubic hairs in with it and it hurts like hell. Cheers to all the fellow growers!
same here
I’m definitely a grower and also definitely have shrinkage or if i workout a lot…..if i take a long bike ride, i ain’t showing much…….anyhow, my favorite grower story is the first night i slept over my girlfriends house in college, the next morning she was looking at my dick with very confused expression.
……There’s no way that’s what was in me last night.
What are you talking about?
your dick, where is it?
it gets bigger when i get hard
They get bigger? I’ll never understand those
grower here as well i was made fun of in the locker rooms before i knew i was a grower for a long time i thought i had a small dick i am 2in flaccid and 8in hard.
A grower. My ex had pain sometimes after intercourse,size above average, but not huge, bedding upwards, big head. but other GF have been happy. She just had a more shallow vagina. I think most ladies actually can accommodate somewhat more than listed.
But the measurements quoted are on point. From many print & Internet sources I have read overwhelmingly TWO answers: about exactly 6″, & about 5.5″. The Kinsey study quoted basically averages that. i really think that it depends upon measurement method & source: men who measure themselves TEND to add a significant % to the #, I am sure usually it is unconscious (ego) bias. Circumference: it seems to be right around 4.8″, 4.85″…
flaccid is reported around 3.75. Sometimes the penis is “stretched” as an approximation of erect length. One query: I am not aware that many “showers” do not grow at ALL. I think most grow markedly less than growers. And generally those with big wangs do grow less than smaller guys.
Often those who report, or submit to measurements, are more likely to be bigger, ’cause society makes that “better” & more pride is involved. What surprises me about the comments above is the DEGREE of growth claimed by many. To go, say, from only 2″ to 7-8″ is definitely unusual.
From every survey I have read, & seeing porn stars & observation, even a full 10″ cock is quite uncommon. That is at least as long as the average man’s forearm. Exaggeration abounds. John Holmes, legendary ’70′s cocksman, was famed at 13.5″, but he said he was around 10″,
Humans are bigger than any primates, but are testicles are medium size: this ios clearly associated with degree of monogamy. Chimps have giant balls, helps to displace & supplant the sperm of rivals.Â
Woman on average have a preference for a little bigger, & width is more important: but it really depends upon the individual, & it does not tend to be amongst the most important thing for most.Â
i used to be a grower in my younger ages but now that im 19 im a shower 5 in soft 7 inch hard
I am most definitely a grower. But the length seems to relate directly to the arousal and mind travel while doing it. When I measure myself, during periodic masturbation, I got a reading of 7.5″ for my my stiffie, from 3″ chillin’ with Mr. Softy. I used to pester my girlfriend with wanting to know if I was enough for her, and she always said I was more than. Once she got me hard orally and took her own measurement, and she said she got closer to 8-something! I thought she was trying to ease my insecurities yet still insists it’s true. She too then said I vary depending on exactly how horny I am. I’m takin’ her word for it. :)
showers are the best! i loveeeee showers! growers are tiny as heelll!
i’m a monster grower . In cold water my dick have 3 cm… When i’m erect my dick riches 20-21 cm and is very thick
I am a virgin so i was worried about my size. I am about 5,6 tall athletic build so i felt women avoided me cause some size myth. Woman normally told me i come off as the cute younger brother type. I happen to be a grower about 2-5 inch flaccid and 6.5 – 8inch hard(depending on temperature and excitement). I masturbate about 1-14 times a day 6 times on average daily a year. I was scared i wouldn’t be able to handle a woman. Now after coming here i hope she can handle me.
On the small end of 3″ flaccid (skinny). 5.6 – 6″ when hard.
“Grower”!!!!!
Well I am a 44yr old Grower Approx. 2.75″ Flaccid and between 6.75 & 7″ of perfectly shaped manhood when hard.. I have had a self esteem issue, Because growing up, in the locker room at the “Y” I noticed my father and grand father were so large.. I now know they were probably showers.. so to over come this feeling of inadequacy I learned not only how to use it properly but I became an Oral Aficionado. Also starting young I found that it means more to the woman when you care about satisfying her completely… Guys I know we all need reassurance that we are doing our jobs, remember women don’t like guys that are never sure of them selves so asking if she liked it once in a wile is OK… But if you ask all the time she will drop you quicker than Shit…
I don’t understand why my comment was removed. I didn’t say anything negative and thought I was adding a productive comment to the thread.
This is one very disappointed grower here… I’m sure this comment won’t make it in either, but what exactly do you base your moderation policies on? Seems kind of sad that my thoughts were edited out… they were definitely positive.
:(
Definetly a grower. 2.5 flaccid and about 7.25 erect
Team grower!!!
Definetly a grower. 2.5 flaccid and about 7.25 erect
Team grower!!!!
I think the Kinsey group said only 20-30% of men are showers, so it stands to reason most responses, like mine, state they are growers.
Hi this post is rather old, but i found it interesting. With that being said i am a very unique grower. I am 1/2 inch flaccid (i know VERY small) 9 1/2 inches hard. It’s very werid but i love the look on a chick’s face from a smiling laughing gesture to a wide eyed HOLY SHIT stare.
I just got 17 (it has been 4 months) and I definitely think I am a grower.i looks kinda small and it is embarrassing some times but in the inside I know that I own a (15 cm) nearly 6 inch monster and guess what the best part is! I’m still growing! I ended up in this web page trying to clear up my mind so I can more concentrated in studies( tough year ahead). Thanks for the useful information.
I think I am a grower too, flaccid state is around 2.5 to 3 inches but when erect it goes at anywhere between 5.5 to 6 inches long. I have never known why it behaves as such but this information in this article has helped me a lot.
I also love to see my gf wonder at the size or erect dick as she still wonders how it gains in length! I am also impressed by it but I used to think men with showers are well endowed only to discover it does not mean much. But I have to admit I am comfortable with my size as I personally enjoy seeing women in pleasure than pain!!
Grower! 3in flaccid,Girth 6in 6.25 hard. However, when I’m penetrating a women it grows to about 7.25. I think her moaning or the increase of blood flow or having an orgasm sends some type of message to my brain which makes it grow more and it also increases in girth. I think us growers are unique!!!
