Or the back of the frog’s throat.
Sometimes. Not as often these days. BPH will do that to you.
That’s what I thought when I first read the thread title. Read Grower as rhyming with Shower. Then had to think what that word was about. Guess I need to get my mind back in the gutter.
As for my choice, the OP didn’t put a choice for “Neither”. 
Couldn’t prove it by the gang of fairies hanging out at the 24 Hour Fitness where I work out. I’ve learned to not go there between 0800 and 1030 unless I want my junk checked out and commented on by at least a half dozen individuals.
Actually, it doesn’t.
1.) I’m familiar enough with penises to be aware that most of them point more-or-less up, not down, when erect. However, I conveniently ignored that knowledge in order to make what is refered to in some circles as “a joke.”
2.) A small percentage of men **do **have penises that point more-or-less down when erect.
Congratulations: You’ve just demonstrated that a woman knows more about male anatomy than you do.
In fairness, it’s not their fault you’re a gay icon.
I fail to see that this is true.
I’ve gotten toilet water on my dick before, and it was because I was hard. It was pressing against the front of the bowl, though, and not the bottom.
I know there are erections that have a downward curve to them, but I wouldn’t say they point down exactly.
Morning wood and a full bladder; the only time a man wants his erection to go away.
Cue Superman theme 
Si
Grower. Even though I’m well hung and firmly on the far end of the bell curve, I still experience about a 100% increase in all dimensions during most normal erections. It would be no fun at all to be a show-er.
My husband is very nearly an “innie” in flaccid state. When he’s erect, he’s just above average.
Zippers must be the bane of a shower’s existence. I’m a happy grower.
I once dated a feller who was a champ grower. First time we got busy, I was all disappointed when I saw it, but I soldiered on anyway, and it just grew and grew and grew. I named it the Stealth Cock™. 
Not true-- I don’t generally make a lot of commentary on someone’s penis unless I find it to be pleasing to me; I am more of a nonverbal communication person in general, so it’s more likely that I’ll have a devious look or will spend overmuch time demonstrating that I’m pleased with my partner’s arousal. However, IME, if it’s erect and big enough to fill my hand, I’m happy.
Seen more growers than showers in my life, and I must admit that the occasional shower makes me a little apprehensive until aroused, as my brain is hard-wired to think “wait a minute, if it’s that big now… :eek:” if I see it in the unaroused state at first.
1.) **Rand **is claiming that all penises point up when erect. He is, to the best of my knowledge, a man.
2.) I’m claiming that some percentage of penises point down when erect. I am a woman.
A woman (me) knows more about erections than a man (Rand) in this instance. Q.E.D.
I’d pull up a cite for it, but I’m not going to Wiki “erection” from work. Pretty sure you can find a table with percentages for erect angles if you check, though. Try the “erection” article first, and then check “penis” if it’s not there.
I was about to say - “long and soft” in the morning? I literally cannot remember a morning when I woke up and I didn’t have a hard-on. It’s kind of embarrassing if you’re sleeping over at a party or (Og forbid) on a sofa.
I’ve always said, the first morning I wake up to Mr Floppy, that’s when I’m old.
As to the question… grower, I guess. But there’s a whole range of flaccid states. A cold morning when you’ve been out for a bike ride? Acorn territory. Know that it’s going to be on show? I’m sure most men will admit to “fluffing themselves up a bit”… 
Gay man here - I’m pretty sure I know more about erections than both of you (:D) and I can confirm that some of them do indeed point down.
Maybe the ones that point down function as dowsing rods. They’ll always find a wet spot.
Well. I read the wikipedia article on erections (aside: thank god for “Turn on private browsing”), and, indeed, the angle of the dangle is a more complicated matter than I had previously considered. Some peens do indeed stand at attention by pointing to the ground. I have been educated.
