Girth inhibiting length

I have read a lot of posts on this forum suggesting that girth can inhibit length gains. I am curious, what is the evidence for this? I have tried searching, but a redirection to where this is covered would be much appreciated.

I’m 6”+ EG, and haven’t had any trouble gaining length from hanging.

I can remember a rubber band analogy being used, ie, that a thicker one is harder to stretch.

Don’t know how true this is but it makes sense. Maybe it just takes a bit more work if you have

a good girth to begin with.

It would make sense if the physiology of the penis was exactly like a rubber band. It isn’t. It’s far more complex.

I’m sure it’s different for everybody. However, if many people on here are claiming this from experience, it may be true.

I can see how it would make sense though. So to be on the safe side, work on your length first then girth.

I am 17cm (6.7”) in girth now and I gain rather quickly in length. I believe the theory is nonsense.

Great, this is encouraging. Has anyone tried to give an explanation of why the penis would behave like a rubber band? From a cellular perspective that doesn’t seem to make sense. Now if the tunica actually got bigger with girth gains, either through an increase in cell number or size, then that might imply more force is necessary for a longer unit (since more cells/larger cells are being dealt with). Has anyone talked about a girth/length trade-off more than anecdotally? Have a lot of people reported having good girth gains and then no length gains or is this just a fringe theory?
