Caitlin V: Five things you probably don't know on showers
versus growers. I'm kealan V your sex and relationship coach
and I will be the first to admit that penises are fascinating.
And let's be real men have been comparing and contrasting
themselves based on their dicks since the dawn of time. So in
today's video, I'm going to tell you some things I bet you didn't
know about your penis and penises in general and as a
literal expert on penises. Number five shocked me so much
that I made this whole video about one of the most
interesting and least research things about this precious part
of the male anatomy is the difference between growers and
showers to recap, in case it's been a while since you were in a
men's locker room, growers are men whose penises are smaller
when flaccid and grow significantly went red and
shoulders on the other hand, don't experience as much of a
change in size when they get an erection. Hence the show part as
in like, show it off. If you're watching this, and you're a man,
I want to start off by telling you that it truly doesn't matter
which camp you fall into being a grower or shower doesn't impact
your ability to please your partner. So now that that's out
of the way, let's dive into some of the more interesting and
lesser known facts about these two. Number one, all men are
technically growers. Yeah, all men grow, some just grow a
little bit and some grow a lot more. There actually isn't a ton
of research on this topic, which I thought was kind of
surprising. But in a 2018 study, research published in the
International Journal of impotence measured 274
participants and got some interesting data. Now 274 is a
lot of men, but it's not a huge number. So I'll say that these
numbers are accurate for the men that were studied, but they may
not be accurate globally also worth noting that these men were
being treated for erectile dysfunction. And while Edie
doesn't affect the size of a penis does feel like a detail
worth noting all that said the study does give us some insight.
So when a racked all men do experience some growth in their
penises, but this study determined an average and then
use that as a dividing line separating the growers from the
showers. And according to this study, the average man's penis
grows 1.5 inches when erect. So in this case, it was determined
that if a penis grows any more than 1.5 inches, you could
classify that man as a grower. And if he grows less than 1.5
inches, then we could call him a shower. Number two, it has a lot
to do with skin elasticity as you might have imagined, whether
you're a grower or shower has a lot to do with genetics and
specifically, it has to do with the elasticity of your penile
skin. Men who are growers tend to have more elasticity in their
skin and that's why the penis is able to grow and contract. On
the other hand, men who are showers don't have as much
elasticity and they don't need it to accommodate an erection
makes sense, right? Shorter, some pretty extreme surgical
procedures. There's actually not much you can do to change
whether you're a grower or a shower. But more importantly,
there really isn't a reason to want to change in either
direction. However, there is actually one way that growers
become showers, which leads me to my next fact. And if you are
thinking to yourself right now, well, I'm a grower and I think
it would be so cool to be a show or like I would love if my
flaccid penis was a little bit bigger. Even if it didn't get
that much bigger when it was a wrecked there is actually a
couple of ways that growers become showers. Which leads me
to my next fact number three, your grower or shore status can
change over time. Essentially, growers can become showers over
time naturally. And this is due to a little process called
aging. Yeah, as men age their penises actually may become
slightly larger in appearance when flaccid. And this is for
the exact same reason that our skin loosens and sags over time.
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the penis is no
exception. Although the changes aren't typically drastic, you
may notice over time that the grower starts to show a little
more. And if you want to speed up that natural process, I
highly recommend that you check out the Bathmate I have a
affiliate code I would love if you use that if you decide to
purchase one. Essentially the Bathmate stretches out the penis
so it stays larger even when it is slanted and gets bigger when
it's erect. You can check them out on your own. You can see my
whole video on the Bathmate here and on that note number four it
doesn't impact the size of your penis. Whether you're a grower
or a show or does not I repeat does not affect the size of your
penis when or act in fact, the classic penis is affected by a
lot of external influences in a way that erect penis is just not
for example, we all know what happens down there when you go
for a dip in a cold lake. The truth is you really can't tell
how large a man's penis is from just looking at it in its fasted
state in penises are pretty wild. They're interesting. Like
I said before, they're capable of expanding and contracting
depending on things like temperature states of arousal
even hormone No changes. And although some penises are more
sensitive than others when it comes to these things, none of
them affect the size of the penis when it's fully erect. And
there's no way to tell how large a flaccid penis will be when it
gets hard. So the age old locker room comparison is actually
never accurate unless everyone's wrecked. There's no real way of
knowing who's packing what, and everyone erected a locker room
sounds like the setup for porn or something out of euphoria,
season two. And just a little side note here, there's so much
in our culture that has led men to worry about the size of their
penises. And this is just your friendly reminder that all of
that is BS. And actually, did you know that you yourself are
literally in the worst place to accurately assess the size of
your penis. I mean it research shows that when you look down on
your penis, you're actually seeing it from the smallest
possible angle, it's going to look smaller to you looking
straight down than it does to anyone else who's looking at it
from the side. So think about this as sort of a funhouse
mirror effect and make sure that the next time that you're
comparing your box and tackle to someone else is that you're
actually looking at it from the side in a full length mirror so
that you can make a more accurate appraisal anyway,
sexuality pleasure eroticism it has so little to do with the
size of your penis connection, skill and communication make you
a great lover, not how big you are. And now that we've got that
established, let's get to our final fact about growers versus
showers that actually made me lose my shit and question myself
as a coach and penis iceberg. Number five, show goers may be
more common than growers white. This is taken from the same
study that I mentioned earlier. According to the research 74% of
the men they measured fell into the showers category and only
26% were growers. This shocked me. Maybe it doesn't shock you.
I feel like I've seen a lot more growers insurers in my personal
experience, but I'm curious to know maybe leave me a comment.
Let me know if you're a grower or a shower and maybe we can get
some data at least from the Caitlin V subscriber pool
dataset. I'm curious to know regardless of which one's more
popular, neither one is better. And that's that. I suppose,
though, that this one fact explains the proliferation of
the tight gray sweatpants and the DIC print trend. So as
inclusion I have a message to all the women out there which is
don't judge a book by its cover. And don't judge a boner by its
placid state. Don't judge a boner by don't judge a grower
don't judge his show or by his grower. Don't judge a man by his
penis. There you have it. Growers versus showers. Let me
know in the comments if you were surprised and which category you
fall into, and don't forget to subscribe so that you'll get all
my content on all things sex and relationships. I'm Caitlin V.
I'll see you here next week.
