For those that don’t know, growers versus showers is about flaccid versus erect penis size. Growers, like me, tend to start small with erections that are much larger than their flaccid size. Showers are nearly the same size flaccid or erect, but their erections are just hard. According to a study published in IJIR here on nature.com, they classified a grower as someone with more than 1.5 inches difference between erect and flaccid. A Shower is someone with less than 1.5 inches difference between flaccid and erect.

Grower vs. Shower Study

Growers versus showers, the scales lean toward the showers. According to the study linked above, of their participants 73% were showers. They do clearly state that with such a small sample size (ha!) that it’s impossible to determine the ratio world wide. For us growers, this means that we are in the minority. Sometimes our partners are surprised by the appearance of a small penis. Or one that appears small. Being a grower, I’ve experienced some embarrassment about my flaccid size. As it turns out, my erect size is in the 99th percentile. I also wasn’t taught about growers and showers growing up, so I didn’t know I was normal.

This article at healthline also reviews what determines growers versus showers. First, they mention tissue elasticity, which is the capacity for your penile tissue to stretch. Then, they mention collagen, which makes up over half the tissue in your penis. Lastly, your overall health and bloodflow are an important factor in erect size. The study referenced is actually a study on erectile dysfunction.

Measure Yourself

To determine if you are a grower or a shower, measure your penis. Start with it flaccid. I prefer the bone pressed method. Measure along the top of the shaft starting with the end or the ruler pressed against your hip bone behind your penis. Then, get erect however you prefer. I would suggest getting help with your partner on this, have some fun! Measure again, using the same method. If you are unable to get an erection, you can take a stretched measurement. Simply stretch your penis out and take that measurement. If the difference between the measurements is more than 1.5 inches, you are a grower.

The study was too small to determine if this had an effect on the erect penis length. The important thing is that you are happy with your size. With growers versus showers, it’s important to remember that the end product is what’s important. Also, now that you’ve measured, I’m sure you are anxious to know that average penis size is 5.5 inches, worldwide. Also, the vast majority of woman prefer an average size penis. Anything too large or long can hurt when having sex. Just keep that in mind.

It’s important to remember that being happy with yhat you have and having confidence in what you are doing are the most important parts of sex. Remember thatto you, she is a completel person and it’s not just about her pussy. So for her, it would make sense that it’s not just about what’s between your legs either.
