Flaccid gains vs. Erect gains

My flaccid grew from 5,3-5,5 till around 6,5 I grew more in my erection, but my flaccid gains are also good.

am I a grower or a shower? was 5,5 flaccid and erect 7,8 inches I am 6,5 flaccid and 9,0 erect. (BP of course)

I have gained much more flacid length than erect length. I think jelking and hanging work well for flacid length but not erect length, at least for me.

Someone here pointed out “if you feel your ligaments with your fingers while flacid and then erect, you know the ligs do not limit your erect length” (paraphrase). this makes sense to me. We stretch our ligs by hanging straight down or between the cheeks (btc), but our erections point up. I think that ligament stretching does a lot more for making your flacid come out of your body farther, but when you are erect it seems to me that the tunica is limiting length more than the ligs.

Drinking water is great for you, but it’s always nice to have more permanent flaccid gains. :)

The tunica consists of different kind of fibers; elastin and (can’t remember the name). The elastin works kind of like bungee cords - they are woven inbetween the other fibres, and pulls the flaccid short when not erect, but they aren’t strong enough to hinder the erection itself. One could well speculate that stretching etc damages the elastin fibres enough for them to loose their rubbery quality - and so you hang flaccid longer.

Search and read some of ModestoMan’s threads for more info.

Elastin and Fibrin?

Excellent theory. IT makes sense to me, that you break, or unravel the elastin, so you don’t shrivel up as much, giving you a longer flacid. That would explain why flacid gains don’t usually correlate to erect gains as well.

Also mine.

As a former bodybuilder I used to drink tons of water, but my flaccid penis has always been small .
About 2 inches or less in the locker room, where I had the impression to see flaccid penis long 6-7 inches. This problem has influenced a lot all my choices and all my life.

I was never a bodybuilder, but my small flaccid size sure influenced my life. Like avoid any potential “situations”. Its the main reason I am here.

All my length gains have been erect. My flaccid gains have been girth. Then again recently I’ve been drinking a lot of water - maybe that’s affected it.
