Guys, how much does your d*** "grow" after getting an erection?

How big is your d*** soft compared to how big it is when it's hard? How much does your d*** actually "grow" from an erection? And, does a guy's d*** size while soft reflect how big he will be when hard? If I were to see a man soft and he had a "small" d***...does that mean he will still be "small" when hard? I'm a virgin, so it isn't like I have seen a guy naked in person and then also see him with a boner... So I'm just wondering.

  • When I'm soft it can be as small as the tip of my thumb when it's cold, or oddly, when I'm stressed out.

    When I'm hard, and I have measured, it can be eight inches when it's a raging hard-on. Rare but worthy of photographs and medals. It's always thick. But the run of the mill erection is usually slightly over seven inches.

    The Masters and Johnson studies show there's a difference between races in elasticity, but for the most part us white guys shrink the most. That's why there's so many comedies where some white guy ends up shouting:"But I was in the pool! It was cold!" or something along those lines. Black guys have it good, in that they're on average an inch longer, and they don't shrink much when soft.

    For me if it's hot, or some strange number of factors combine, I'll hang at around five inches.

    Yes I know it seems like I'm bragging, but those are the stats, I don't care if you believe me or not. I've got a big d***. I am just fine on the bus, a bicycle, on foot, or in a boring sedan. I don't need the flashy sports car, and I know my relationships will last longer on average just because of the thickness and the fact that I was insecure about it for a long time: I got to know how to use my fingers and tongue even better than my cock.

    Unfortunately the insecurity has crept in to even that aspect of my self image, and now I think of myself as only good for one thing, most of the time. So I avoid women 99% of the time. Let them think I'm tiny. Just don't break my heart again. It's big too. I just can't seem to earn enough, or express myself well enough, or enthrall them enough. Eventually it's like they're only hanging around for the sex. I had a wife who had sex with me every day even when we slept in separate rooms, right up until the day she moved out, took my kid, and ripped out my heart. And at TMI, I'm signing off.

    • Good luck to you.

    • Yeah, it's okay now. Been over ten years. And many women have enjoyed the thickness. ;-)

    • Good! :)

  • "And, does a guy's d*** size while soft reflect how big he will be when hard? If I were to see a man soft and he had a "small" d***...does that mean he will still be "small" when hard?"

    No. You cannot ever judge a man's size until you've seen it in full erection. There are multiple factors that dictate a guy's size while flaccid, mostly to do with temperature.

    Flaccid it's about 2-2.5 inches, 7 in erection for me.

  • depending on the size of there penis when soft depends on there size when hard.

    if a guy is really small when soft his penis will be from small to average when hard.

    now if a guy is about 4-5 inches when soft his penis is going to be above average. a guys penis is not going to be really small then grow to this massive thunder d***. if a guys is about 2-3 inches when soft he is going to be about 5-7 inches dpending on how horny he is.

    if a guy is 4-5 inches when soft he can be from 7-9 inches depending on how horny he is.

    in conclusion depending on how big he is when soft depends on how big he is when hard

    • I disagree with this. The flaccid size can vary greatly amongst men. The erect size there is a lot less variation.

    • No, soft size has nothing to do with erect size. A guy can be hanging 4.5 inches in hot temperature, 2.5 inches in the cold, 2 inches when he's nervous, 3 inches in average room temperature. He could be a grower, he could be a shower blah blah blah. Flaccid size varies way to much from men to men and situation to situation.

    • What if there is really no difference

  • some guys' grow a lot they are growers some have pretty large ones when they are not hard or they just don't get that much bigger when hard they are showers

    the penis is very different when it is hard

    • Mine isn’t

  • I'm at 4.5" when soft, almost 7.5" fully hard. There are varying degrees of soft though. Comin out of the pool or a really cold shower makes any guy really small for example. The penis is indeed a strange muscle/organ.

  • It differs with every guy. Personally, my d*** is only 1-2 inches when not erect but 6 inches when hard. I'm content with the erect size but it doesn't exactly help my situation in the locker room so it's a bit embarrassing :/.

  • 3 1/2 inches soft (depending on temp) and 8 ish hard.

    No, some guys grow more than others its safe to say that a guy with a large d*** when soft doesn't often grow much when hard but a guy with a smaller soft d*** is likely to double in size or more.

  • Not much I’m only a inch

    • Damn... I'm jealous as hell. Mine's about two inches.

  • There are showers and growers. I'm about twice as big hard as I am soft, so just depends...

    • so you are about what...5inches?

    • I don't broadcast, but way bigger than 5

    • 5 cm

  • The flaccid size varies. The erect size is average, a bummer for me, but that's okay, I make up for it by not dating women who prefer above average penises.

  • There are two kinds of guys - showers and growers. Some guys relaxed are the same length as hard. Some guys grow a lot such that the relaxed state is much much smaller (like less than 1/3).

    We are all dealing with what we are dealt. One way to find out what you are working with is to give it a good bit of attention and then you'll know.

  • There are show-ers and there are grow-ers. Some grow only half the size, some grow x5 the size of when they're flacid. You will never know.

  • Like 3 inches or more.

  • lol I have no idea of the size difference when it grows. I guess I have to find out XD

  • like a good 4-5 inches? It just varies from guy to guy. But with any erection is all based on blood circulation. So I'm guessing the better the blood flow then the larger perhaps.

  • It varies a lot between different guys, but by my measurements, I start off at a little over 3", and get to about 6" when fully erect.

  • hahaha OK when I'm soft I'm 2 inch and so one inch girth and when I'm hard I'm 5 inches with 3 inch girth and lol welcome to the club I'm a virgin two add me up and we can talk

  • soft 3 inches,hard almost 7 inches.

  • Personally there's a big difference between them

  • can't judge a guy's dick size based on when he's soft.. the size when their hard can be pretty extreme though it depends on the guy.. my cock is quite the grower.. it's about 2 and a half inches soft, but close to 8 and a half inches when i got a raging boner

  • Honestly it's 3 when it's soft and it grows to 7 in action.

  • I consider myself a major grower. I start off at 4 inches soft then i grow 3 times its size. Which would make me 12, I'm over a urinal jug. I wear magnum xl and i have 3 to 4 inches that the condom don't cover up. I'm this size when I'm drunk, sitting down my dick almost to my chest. I don't know how i get that long but it do. Some women like it some don't but i know how to use it. I try not to hurt them. I try not to rush the stroke because i don't want to make them bleed, stomach hurt, or pussy sore.

  • I hate being a grower not a shower especially at the Dr. Office when a cute nurse is in the exam room ( like today). I am only 1 inch when soft but when hard I am over 6 and as thick as a sleeve of ritz crackers. I want to go back to that little hottie nurse and whip it out while fully engorged so she knows what I'm really packing. I don't want to bang her ( well maybe I do lol) but I am tired of people thinking I'm not what I really am. Thanks for letting me vent

  • Hi I have a 4 inch penis when erected and wanted to know if that was enough to please a girl? I have been really stressed lately
