Grower or shower, which one are you?

I’ve been doing some research on the ratio between growers and showers in men. If you’ve never heard these terms before, they’re quite simple. If you’re a grower, it means your penis size increases dramatically (as much as 200%) between flaccid and erect states. If you’re a shower, then there is a very moderate size increase (or sometimes none) between your flaccid and erect state.

Personally, I’m a grower myself. My flaccid is on average 4 or 4.5 inches in length, and increases to 8 inches at maximum erection. Before I started PEing, my flaccid would be about 3 to 3.5 inches, and increase to almost 7 when erect. So due to PE, I’ve gained about an inch in length on my flaccid. As far as studies go, I’ve read some conflicting ones.

According to this playboy article, most men are growers, up to the tune of 79% in fact! However, the survey those numbers are based on certainly wasn’t scientific in the least. It looks like it was just a Men’s Health survey.

Another more Scientific study from urologists at Tulane University School of Medicine, the University of California at Irvine, and Mahidol University in Bangkok had different results. In their study, growers were the minority coming in at 26% of the 274 patients, while showers were the majority with 74%.

Another interesting fact, is that according to this study, growers had larger erect penises than the showers; 15.5cm vs 13.1cm. However, I should point out that the growers in the study were slightly younger than the showers so that could explain the difference.

Anyway, I’d be interested in seeing what the ratio of growers to showers is on this forum. Thanks! :D

I was once a grower, now a shower.

I have always been a grower, but now, after I do my pump routine, I turn into a shower and I like it!

After I pump, I turn into a shower as well. But that effect lasts for a few hours before going back to my regular state.

I suppose it’s possible to go from a grower to a shower though, but it likely highly depends on a man’s elastin to collagen ratio in his penis.

I doubt someone like myself can ever truly become a shower permanently no matter how much I gain, because I probably have a roughly equal elastin to collagen ratio in my penis…..and I’m perfectly OK with that.

It seems that to be a shower, you need to have a dominant collagen to elastin ratio.

I started as a grower and after years of PE, I am still a grower. Even after pumping, I am still a grower, though my girth doesn’t increase much.

I pump early in the morning from 5:30 to 6:15 and the results last until I go to bed at night and being a shower for that long makes me happy. :)

My hall bathroom has the tub, toilet and sink all on the same wall which also features a full wall mirror, so when I take a piss, I can easily check out the current state of my flaccid hang. Needless to say, that is my favorite bathroom to use. ;)

Wow, so far growers are dominating the polls big time! It would seem that showers are a rarer breed, at least on these forums.

My post pump size increase typically lasts around 12 hours total, and that’s for both flaccid and erect. However, it seems my flaccid girth is more affected by pumping than length.

Definitely always been a grower.

I’m kind of between. My BPFL is 5-5.5 and then it goes to 8. Not extreme grower, but not even close to showers.

I was a grower. I still consider myself a grower, but I am now less so. I started doing PE with a flaccid that was likely only two and a half inches and when fully erect I would hit six inches. I now hang at around five inches most of the time, and can hit seven and a half to seven and five eighths. So I think I went from approximately forty percent of my erect length, to sixty six percent. Which is nice.

I’m definitely a grower. Even after a year and 4 months of PE im still a grower.

On average I hang around 4 inches, so my erect state almost doubles in length.

I wouldnt mind turning into a shower after some time, but now that I’m fairly confident with my size, it’s not an issue for me. I’d even go to a nude beach with this little guy peaking out, I’ll just walk around with that “it’s much bigger than you think” face on. Haha.

compared to my 2.5 inch flaccid you wold be considered a shower.

Accidentally voted shower - i am a grower.

I guess the bad part about being a grower is that someone could think you’re small if seeing it in a bad light. But it’s also kind of cool with the expansion and the feeling of becoming so much bigger and hard at the same time.

I’m small either way, I guess I’m neither.
