The two types of penises... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

CityOfAngels · 10-21-2004, 02:52 AM

I've heard there are two types of penises:
1) When erect, it doesn't get much larger than its flaccid state. Is usually larger than #2 while flaccid.
2) When erect, it gets very much larger than its flaccid state. Is usually significantly smaller than #1 while flaccid.

I (unfortunately?) am equipped with #2. While flaccid, it's only a few inches long. When erect, it literally grows in both width and length; width usually about 2x the flaccid size, length usually 3 to 4x the flaccid size. Because of this, I've always been uncomfortable changing my boxers in any sort of locker room, and whenever I go swimming, I make sure my shorts stay on at all times. I've been thinking of posting in the Exhibition forums, but I'm sure people wouldn't appreciate seeing an erect penis, which is the only state I am comfortable showing it in. Whenever a girlfriend asks to see it, I usually try to get a little foreplay in with her before I whip it out, just to make sure it's erect when she sees it.

Anyone else have to deal with this? I know I'm just way too self-concious about it, but I'm wondering if I'm alone on this here. My ex-girlfriend was even surprised AFTER we had sex for the first time because what she saw at first wasn't what she saw later on. Of course it didn't matter to her, but hey, sometimes it matters! Hehe.

Dude don't worry about it.
In the gym or the shower most guys aren't going to be making an effort to check out your equipment. And if they do well that's on them. If you've never had a complaint about size before does it really matter if you are a grower and not a shower?
It's not like a woman is walking around asking guys to whip their junk and measuring them while flaccid to see who she's going home with so when you REALLY think about it doesn't matter much.
Now as far as the pictures...just try to get a little blood flow going to "flesh out" your equipment if you are feeling self conscious about it. I'm a grower and just a tiny bit of blood flow to the region and it starts to get noticeabley larger but it doesn't go to full mast unless I'm ready for action.

Oh no no I'm not asking you all about my dick size. I'm just wondering if other people have this same problem. I'm not showing you my penis, nor am I giving you size specifications. I am actually quite comfortable with my penis-size, but am only comfortable showing it in certain situations.

I know this sounds like a "Is my dick size still acceptable?" thread, but it definitely is not in any sense.

P.S. If any mods think this post is unacceptable, I am very sorry for the confusion. Again, this is not directly about my penis size, but rather certain situations involving it. I don't wish to break any rules or show signs of ignorance. I'm just seeing if other people relate to these situations.

It isn't a problem, it's just the way it is.

Myself? I'm a grower and I've never had any snide remarks about my member in it's flacid state (couple inches or so compared to 7 erect). Girls don't care about it flacid and if they do they're just showing their immaturity (along with any guy that tries to make fun of you in the locker room).

[QUOTE=THGL]It isn't a problem, it's just the way it is.[QUOTE]
The problem isn't the size. The problem is the empty insecurity that could come with being a grower.

As for posting in exhibition, I guess my main problem is I'd be wanting to show my 'real' size; I'm just a guy who likes to show off when I can. The only way I could do that is to show it erect, which I assume a lot of people wouldn't appreciate.

ShaniFaye · 10-21-2004, 08:11 AM

Ummm....las time I checked there were several posts where the guys were erect....and I appreciated it greatly

Irishsean · 10-21-2004, 08:23 AM

Mines the same way man. If anyone gives you crap about it, just tell them "Yeah my dick is only 2 inches long, but my tongue is eight inches long and I can breathe through my ears!"

mikmckna · 10-21-2004, 08:33 AM

Lots of "Growers" here... me too and my wife LOVES it that way. She likes to "Participate" in the raising of the flag!

jamessh1 · 10-21-2004, 09:31 AM

I'm yet another grower, and just like the initial poster I am not comfortable letting my member be seen in any public forum (locker room etc.). I', not 100% sure why I'm so shy about it since chances are no one is really concerned about it anyways, but I guess there is the thought in my mind that a smaller flaccid penis represents more than just a penis (possibly a measure of masculinity or something else). I wonder what the percentage is of growers compared to the larger flaccid penis's....

I think the 'two types' thing is bullshit... it's a sliding scale of before and after change.

Grower here too...

I have a feeling that most men are probably growers. It's just a guess, but judging from the response to this forum, it's pretty one sided so far.

Could you expand on that thought? I'm not exactly sure what you think is bullshit. It is true that some penises grow more than others, while the others have an initial larger size. That's all I meant about the "two types" remark.

Maybe you thought I was saying there are literally two different types of penises, as in "My penis is completely different than yours with different parts, etc."? If so, that's not what I meant, and sorry if it offended you in any way.

Ustwo · 10-21-2004, 12:32 PM

I can go from looking well hung while soft to a couple of inches. Dunno why but it happens, doesn't matter much to me.

When we have been at a nude beach my wife doesn't like when its doing the shrinky thing, she wants to be hanging out with the well hung guy hehe.

lukethebandgeek · 10-21-2004, 12:42 PM

I never really noticed how much it grows...

I've always thought that other men's penises were tiny when flacid when I've seen them, so I'm not self concious about my own dick size.

HockeyGuy · 10-21-2004, 01:37 PM

DEI37 · 10-21-2004, 02:46 PM

Grower...I hate it. At parties, I can get a little self conscious about it. It usually rises to the occasion when needed, but it's odd sitting there with a 2" flaccid dick.

boredom · 10-21-2004, 03:41 PM

Im a grower, i stopped caring about it.

Flyguy · 10-21-2004, 04:18 PM

I'm a grower too. I've never really thought about it to be honest. When it's flaccid, it's just there until I need it for something.

lunchbox · 10-21-2004, 04:18 PM

I'm a grower, Halx is just being as ass imo because he's got like a 9" dong flaccid and a monster when erect...

ratbastid · 10-21-2004, 04:44 PM

Yeah, it's a real bummer to have to walk around swinging the kind of pipe Hal swings...

Me, I'm a grower. My flaccid state seems to vary a lot with temperature, stress, how recently I had an orgasm, etc. I've never really had any issues being seen naked by the guys when flaccid. They're not looking.

Halx · 10-21-2004, 05:51 PM

EVERYONE'S a grower.. that's the point. That's what the penis does. There is no 'other type'

I never said they both don't grow, but rather the ones that are larger while flaccid tend not to grow as much. For example:
Guy A has a 2 1/2 inch flaccid penis. When erect, it grows to be 6-7 inches.
Guy B has a 6-7 inch flaccid penis. When erect, it grows to be 7-8 inches.

It is noticeable when one guy's penis grows 3-4 times it's flaccid size, while another grows about 1/4-1/2 it's flaccid size. It's the rate of growing that is different.

Nice avatar, btw.

Shizukana · 10-21-2004, 10:23 PM

Tally up one more grower.

Halx - I understand what you're saying, and yes, penises DO all grow when erect. What he is referring to is... a "grower" has a penis that at least doubles or triples in size while erect, while a "shower" (rhymes with grower) is one that simply goes from say, 6 inches flaccid to like 9 inches hard. Basically, guys that are well hung when flaccid "show" more of their overall dick size, whereas growers might appear to be small while flaccid but grow to be just as big as the "shower" when both are erect.

(That was probably more than anyone needed to hear... but I just wanted to clear up what I'm perceiving the debate or question to be about... I've had this conversation with some friends, male and female, so the terms are pretty familiar.)

mattevil · 10-21-2004, 10:43 PM

as long as it's good size when it counts who cares

Nancy · 10-21-2004, 11:24 PM

wow. I didn't think that guys ever gave this issue much thought but as I read some of your replies I can see why.

Personally I love a grower and prefer it like that. It's just feels great to be taking off my clothes in front of a man slowly and see what an effect it has on his penis you know? It's just such a great "compliment" to get as a woman - wouldn't you agree Shanifaye

Well if Nancy approves, then I don't think I have anything to worry about. It's chicks like her that I try to impress anyways.

Halx · 10-22-2004, 12:46 AM

here's what I'm saying

Penises are designed to compact to as small as they can get. If "Long" John Silver cant retract to like 2 inches flaccid, then he has a defective penis. It's a natural defense mechanism. When you're threatened, your penis needs to be able to fuckin' retreat. So, in essence, EVERYONE is a grower. Don't you see? Mother nature didn't make any of us with naturally dangling participles. We all have the "nibbles", "licks" and "gulps" stages of erection.

with all respect to Halx.....I've experienced both kinds, many times and yes it does exist....there are def two disticnt differences to the way a guy can be.

As Nancy says....there is not much more satisfying to me than when Dave isnt in a state of arousal and I can just take off my shirt or pants or both or have bent over to get something and turn around to see the "turtle" as I call dave's when its little, turn in to a long necked dinosaur hehehe. Dave is above average in size when erect, but looking at him flaccid you'd never ever know it because it has a tendancy to disappear into itself ....you guys know what Im talking about Im sure.....and its no where near as big around as he is at arousal....but damn when all I have to do to turn him into a beef stick (you know those things that you buy in the store for like party trays that has the skin you have to peel off of them) is undress or whisper in his ear its a GREAT thing for me.

Truth be told I've always preferred the grower type

You said it all here, so stop thinking about it.

I would have said (although I dont make a habit of looking at others that close !!) that the vast majority of men are #2.
They are SUPPOSED to be smaller when 'not in use' - you are in the majority!!

Find something useful to be worried about

omega2K4 · 10-23-2004, 10:17 AM

I'm a grower too. I think Halx just thinks it is bullshit because he has a massive cock either way.
