No, not showers (y’know, those funny cleansing devices that create a multi-streamed jet of water), show-ers versus grow-ers.
Some guys have a really, really tiny tadger when soft, yet manage to grow to normal (or, in the case of at least one person I know, relatively mammoth) proportions.
Other guys have a big ol’ chunk of meat that dangles proudly 'tween their legs at all times, yet when the moment of glory comes around, they don’t increase in size a whole lot.
So, guys, what type are you? For the record, I fall into the former category… pitifully dinky normally, yet just about average when I start a-boingin’ around.
But I’ve got lots of experience in the field, since I spend too much time at a clothing optional beach.
The problem is how to answer without seeming boastful.
I am a grower… which comes in handy during the bare buns run. I’ve found that my mini-B can shrink right down during physical activity when it’s not needed, such as playing soccer. During a relaxed, drinking beer, no chance of accidental dismemberment moment, it expands (while still flaccid) to being one head past a bag. Stage 3 is a cervix-bumping tool.
Ditto, Barbarian.
When I’m just a’walkin around the house starkers (hey people, I live in DC-it’s freakin’ hot and humid) I think the little guy knows he won’t be asked to do any heavy lifting, and goes into standby mode. My wife mentioned something about this the other day-“I know you’re hung and all, but sometimes I’ll just look at ya, like when you get back from the pool, and wonder-where did he go?”-the last said in a plaintive “Come back, Shane” voice.
I’m pretty sure I posted this somewhere in here, but…
No, I didn’t measure myself, I had a curious ex-.
This was in the summer, so to chime in with the others, when it’s cold out, after swimming or whatever, it would look more like a fur coat with a button (though I suppose I can’t say the “fur coat” part anymore.)
Grower here…but I had a roommate in college who, when flaccid, dangled mightily (so he said…I never saw it). He used to say that women didn’t want to see a magic show…they prefered to see a preview of exactly what they were getting. Then again, he talked a LOT.
Yeah, grower here too. Particularly grateful for the way it goes into hiding when involved in athletics, as Barbarian pointed out.
OTOH, sometimes I ‘grow’ for almost no reason at all (I’m still 20, looking to grow out of these ‘surprises’), and become a ‘show-er’ for a few minutes. That’s life, I guess.
Grower. Definite grower. I can’t find the thread where I discussed this, but I’m the one who introduced the concepts of “telescopic penis” and “turtle” to the SDMB.
Lil MB is Most unimpressive when not needed. In fact, I’m glad to know that there are other growers out there. Can we start some sort of support club? (Too many jokes there…I’ll just leave it alone.)
From the lady’s estimates, I quadruple in in length and double in width when the situation calls for it.
Pictures, please. We’ll tell you exactly how much you have to worry.
And be nice to Little SPOOFE. He tries really hard, don’tcha fella? Yes, you do… yesss, you do! Oh, you siwwy widdle thing… Aww… what a cute little guy! Now he’s slobbering all over the… uh… nevermind.
Harumph! I’ve never laughed a naked man…I mean, not one standing in front of me in real life. Now, on-line…bwaahahhaaahaaa. You’re mine, boys, all mine.
:rubs hands together gleefully:
My step-mom used to peek down my dad’s swim trunks when we’d go swimming and say, “Where’d he go, Dale, where’d he go?” and then reach in try to “find” him. Cruel, I know.
This can be…arranged. As for your proclivity for going bra-less, this is a good thing and should be encouraged, but not in a thread about penis size, or else we’ll have to adjust all the numbers according to growth.
