The REAL Grower or Shower Poll

[Physdoc Retired Moderator Member of the Month July 2019 Find all posts View Profile Close Physdoc]

We go to nudist places and hang with swingers. The ladies often talk about growers and showers and that it's hard to tell what you'll get by looking at a flaccid cock. It makes me curious whether more guys are growers or showers. Let's focus on length.

I think I'm a grower. I grow about 2.5" from BPFL to BPEL on a normal day. But if I have any shrinkage going on and my BPFL is less than normal the difference can be alot more.

Curious to see other's answers to see if we can see a line between growers and showers.

Comments welcome. Your vote is NOT public.

Wow! What I've heard from the ladies is that they like growers because it makes them feel great to cause that big of a difference and it's EL that counts, anyway.

You know what weirds me out ? About 90% of guys considers themselves growers.

I hadn’t heard that. I was hoping we could find out one way or the other with measurements in the poll. So far, 58 views and only two votes. Arg.

Voted 1-2". Bone-pressed flaccid is around 6.75", and erect is 8"

Sigh . Look guys with average difference between flacid and erect always consider themselves growers . So do the all the guys with more than average difference and so do most of guys with less than average difference .

So how are measurements going to accomplish anything.

3 or 3.5 flaccid to 6.5 to 6.8 BPEL. BPSL is over 7.

Problem with this poll is the categories are too broad. For instance, many studies show the average flaccid length is around 3.6" and the average erect length is 5.5". Now one can argue one way or the other about these averages, but these are in the ballpark regardless. Don't need a calculator to see then that the average difference in length going from flaccid to erect is about 1.9". Most polls that I have seen show that approximately 80% or so are growers, leaving the rest as showers. Therefore, a shower has to be less then 2" in length gain. The question is by how much.

Yeah, agreed. I tried to get seven choices, but for whatever reason the poll-maker page popped up with just five and I went with it. I would have also liked to know the percent growth in addition to the measured growth, but that would have made it too complex and required people to do math. At least this is better than simply asking people to self report as either a grower or shower, like another poll I saw on here.

I thought there was a spreadsheet of people's progress in FL and EL somewhere on here, but I couldn't find it. That data would help answer this question if we charted it and looked for a break-point in the data.

You still have not stated the difference that you would regard makes a guy a grower or a shower .
Or if it is modified by% growth .

I don't have a hypothesis for where I think the line is between grower and shower. I was hoping studying some data might inform where that line might be. Even with that, there would be disagreement. Women I've heard talking about it seem to think a grower as a guy who goes from average or below to something impressive. That definition of grower would seem to exclude guys with a big % growth, but who are still shorter erect than what a woman thinks is "impressive." So, even with data, we'll probably still have questions.

Like I said most guys will claim to be a grower . This area is so slushy it seems pointless .
