I shower every day. Sometimes twice. ---

True to form the shower number doesn’t expand and the grower number just keeps getting bigger. ---

He grows. A shower is a man whose penis is already nearly at its full size while flaccid. He shows. ---

What about those of us who have small flaccid penises, but whose fully erect penises are also tiny? Where is our option? Hiding our insecurity behind giant piles of cash should be a 3rd option. Yeah, I’m an asshole. Why do people ask? ---

Shower. Also, I’m trimmed up, since a palm tree in a desert looks taller than the same tree in a jungle. Not that I need any help, of course ---

Very much a grower - in fact when I used to do nude modelling and I would do shots of me hard the photographer commented he’d never seen someone who varied so much between flaccid and erect state. Just as well because flaccid I’m a maggot. ---

This, minus the modeling. The kind of creepy modeling with erect wangs that I’m going to stop thinking about. (;)) In all seriousness, I’d be curious as to the degree of growing that the average person experiences–I’m given to understand from various women in my life that I’m at least somewhat unusual in that I experience something on the order of 500% growth from flaccid to hard, and most guys don’t vary that much. ---

I look like a baby when soft, but just slightly above average when hard. So, grower. Joe ---

I don’t know bro, if your flaccid peen is as big as a baby, that should put you fairly solidly in shower territory. 🙂 So, showers, tell us about your life as a shower. Any unfortunate zipping incidents? Is your wardrobe restricted in any way? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-shower-or-grower/543256.md?page=2)
