Are dicks usually tiny when they are flaccid or have I just met unmanly men?

Superb Opinion

  • A flaccid penis can fool you. When working in industry, we played basketball, and had showers afterward. I got to see a lot of flaccid penises and wondered how much they would grow when 'hard". One of the 'would-be-studs, had the smallest penis, I think I have seen, when flaccid.

    Sometime later, I was talking to a girl that apparently, he had fucked a few times, and they must have had a problem, as she was not complementary. She said "Robart" (his last name) 'he would have 'fall-out' in a thimble". Based on that, whether she was pissed at him, when she said that, I'm guessing her had a very small penis when erect. So, HIS small flaccid penis WAS small when HARD.

    Two other men I saw, had fairly long, thick, flaccid penises, and I wondered about their size when erect. I read, several places, that you cannot predict the erect size of a penis based on its flaccid size. I had a threesome with a Hispanic couple in Fullerton, California, back before the Covid mess. The husband had a very small flaccid penis, and when erect it was about the size of a man's thumb, both length and girth, although that may not be exactly correct, it was close to that size. I was surprised.
    On the other hand, my best woman friend, back east, said that ALL men's penises looked big to her when erect.
    Contrary to what we read here on GAG, I have met several women in my life that are more than a little curious about penis size, how it "grows" during erection, and the difference in sizes between men.

  • Yes and no. Some guys are growers and some are showers. There are a lot of factors in flaccid vs. erect length. Temperature, age, weight, girth all play a role in how big it looks either way. I can't even walk around in some pairs of pants well when I get hard and on freezing cold days it is like a bear in hibernation gone into a cave. Usually really skinny guys will be showers. They don't have anywhere to hide it. Average and heavier guys won't be. The older they are the lower their balls hang. The lower and larger the balls the shorter the penis looks. There is like a goldilocks age and weight where the balls don't hang much and you are skinny so you look like a freak if you have a big one. Those kind of guys show up in porn all the time. Some kind of 6' tall 20 year old guy that weights 125 pounds will be in a porno totally shaved. All this to make him look huge before and after he gets erect. That said the average dick size is only like 5-6 inches erect and only a few inches flaccid. So you aren't going to see porn dicks often. Girthy penises may not look very long but looks can be deceiving. Some guy with a thin penis will look long but in reality will be average. Anyway, too many focus on penis size. Most women love clitoral stimulation and that is where men with penises of all sizes should focus their energy.

  • It's normal for dicks to be small when flaccid. It has nothing to do with manliness.

    There usually are two types of dicks,
    Those that a small when flaccid and grow when getting aroused.
    And, those that a big even when flaccid, and simply grows hard when aroused.

    • u forgot to mention my type of dick' the ones that are small when flacid, and also small hard

  • It depends on the guy. Growers and showers. My husband is tiny but grows to a good size. My boyfriend is big and floppy and grows to be huge lol. But I've seen it both ways, guys that are big and floppy that don't get much bigger when hard 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • I think I like it big when they are soft. If not it looks too girly

    • I know that men are very self aware of their size when soft.

    • Yea but when they send me dick pics if they send me tiny flacid what does it even do

  • Flaccid penises are smaller than when they are erect… I don’t think a small flaccid penis equals lack of manliness. Let alone, a small penis does not equal a lack of manliness.

  • On average a man is 3.5 inch when flaccid. Although this varies a lot with temperature and other factors. It actually varies in flaccid size quite a bit. So, if you took multiple measurements of a guy throughout the year. An average guy will average out to 3.5 when flaccid.

  • Dicks when flaccid can be smaller than a finger, depending on the person and weather. If it is cold, it gets smaller.

    • The smaller flaccid do not grow to be very big

    • Seriously if it's that smalll it feels like I am with a kid

    • LoL... you're either full of BS or haven't been with many guys. My dick flaccid if cold can get as small as 1.5" but averages 2.5 to 3" flaccid, but always grows to 6.5 to 7" when erect.

  • Why are you able to see a dick while its flacid?

  • to my mind, they are all different in size when flaccid, however I think when erect there isn't much difference in size, anyway who cares, its the performance that counts, and of course how you feel about the guy in general

  • Penises are usually two to three inches when flaccid, yes.

  • Hi Tayla,
    Penises come in two types: growers and show-ers. Growers are penises that are very small when flaccid, but grow quite large when erect. Show-ers are penises that hang fairly long when flaccid, but don’t gain much length when aroused. Growers often have firmer erections than their show-er counterparts, but both types of penises stiffen when aroused, and function the same otherwise! It sounds like you have encountered men with growers. And having a grower type penis doesn’t make a guy unmanly!

  • Both

  • Men generally come into 2 categories growers or showers.

    Growers generally start small and get a lot bigger. I. e. they grow.

    Showers start nearly the same size as when errect. I. e. there show-offs.

    You probably have just been with growers

  • They are small and compact when soft

  • That's a loaded question. Since when does small dick = unmanly?

  • There are growers and show-ers lol. I don't know the statistics but I'm pretty sure it's 50/50

  • When flaccid 95% of penis’ will be small. It’s called “being a grower and not a shower”
    It’s completely natural and it doesn’t make them unmanly.

  • depends, i think its about 50/50, flesh and blood penis, but they are all smaller flaccid tham erect.

  • Lol some men are growers not showers but dick size and balls are not a testimony to "manliness" man is a provider, a protector and the rock or the entire family..


    Fun fact I used "testimony" because women used to not be able to testify in court only men, and they had to sweat on their "testicles" they were telling the truth

  • Sone guys are growers some are showers.

    • But if it's like 2.5 inch even if it doubles it's just 5 inch

    • Yeah not very big then.

  • Out off all the men that i have sex with i have to say that they all try their best. Really i found you judgmental in a way, just like most girls and believe myself that all men should just be having sex with ONLY MEN, and just cut the women off

  • Nah you're just retarded. 75-80% of men are growers...

  • There are two types of dicks

    Blood dicks (normal ones) - They are small when flacid, and grow up when hard

    Meat dicks (rare ones) - They are big when flacid, and they just get hard when hard

    • So u r saying most dicks are tiny when flaccid. But these r like 2.5 inch

    • Yeah

    • Ohhh that's disappointing
