You will usually find in length around a 2 inch gain from flaccid to erect. That’s why guys with 10 inch penis’s usually are around 7.5 to 8.5 flaccid.
These numbers are generalisations though, some may make a superb 3 inch gain from flaccid, but I suspect they would be in the minority.
Why do you ask?
I would say the likelihood is quite common.
From the study mentioned above:
“The data indicates that during an erection, the average increase in penis size was 197.9%. However, for men whose flaccid penis measured 80 mm (3.1”) or less, the increase was 263.2%, compared to 165.3% for those greater than this length (p<0.0001). This principle is demonstrated in Figure 8, which reveals a strong negative correlation between flaccid length and the percent increase during an erection.”
Note the difference in growth between “growers” and “showers”, or the difference in percent growth between those with shorter flaccid and longer flaccid.
Many, many men gain more than 2 inches from flaccid to erect, especailly if you consider some cold weather turtling. I can personally EASILY grow over the 263% quoted in the study from a cold turtle to a full erection.
Please note that the AVERAGE length gain for the growers was 263%, meaning a gain of over 3 inches on AVERAGE, not a “superb” gain as lightbringer suggests.
So if you are all turtled up at 3 inches, don’t be intimidated by a guy flapping a 5 inch non turtled flaccid around. If you use the the AVERAGE numbers from this study, that might make you 7.9 inches, and him 8.25 inches, both very large erect penises. Then all it takes is for him to have a slightly less than average gain percent, or you a slightly greater gain percent from average, and you are equal or bigger than him.
