I've seen three true showers over the years. We have visited multiple nudist locations. All three men had full, 7 inch cocks in normal, non sexual situations and were not hard.

Basically, when hard, they plumped up slightly and became erect. One of their wife's grabbed mine when it was tiny and the look on her face when I grew almost as large as her husband in her hand while we held each other was priceless!

There are a lot of studies out there regarding size and size differences, but a common number that shows up is 1 1/2" (4 cm) as the average difference between flaccid vs erect length. Therefore, if your penis increases in size less than 1 1/2" (mine increases by nearly an inch), you are considered a shower. Naturally it therefore follows that if the difference between your flaccid and erect is more than 1 1/2", you are considered a grower. These numbers don't care what your actual length is, this is a general definition of the terms growers vs showers.

For my part, I am 10 cm at rest and barely 15 cm in erection, i.e. 50%.

Afterwards, I don't know if it's relevant to think in terms of percentage. Or, you have to exclude extreme values (smallest guys could have rates higher than 300%).

This is the first time I've seen this explanation despite this topic coming up on LPSG a dozen times before, and I like it the best! So even if you're generally smaller you can still be a grower.

My flaccid size can be as small as 1 inch (in the cold), about 2.5-3 inches normally, of as high as 4+ inches in some circumstances, but since I always get to 7 inches when hard, I know I'm a grower.

Maybe sometime this coming winter, after coming inside after shoveling snow, I'll ask my wife for a blowjob, so we can both experience the 1 inch to 7 inch transformation! :D

;Pretty much what Lapdog said . my resting unroused size is 1 to 2 inches. While my excited time to get some work done size is a fraction under 7.

To me, a grower comes in two forms: Length, or girth. And the "golden grower", the messiah of growers and most vaunted, grows in both length AND girth.

What does that mean to me?

Well, a "girth grower" is essentially someone that looks like they have a small, to average at best girth, only to suddenly get hard and then dramatically increase in thickness, revealing a commanding fat, dick well beyond any normal thickness. These are the kind of guys that start at around 3.5 inches of girth when soft, but then balloon to 5.5 to 6 inches or more, of girth. It's like watching a balloon inflate, it's breathtaking.

A length grower is similar. When their soft dick is viewed, it's easily dismissible as nothing special. Small or average. But then, it gets hard. And it gets longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, as it stands at attention, leaving all who view it's glory awestricken with the impressive size before them. These types of growers may have a soft dick size of 2.5-3.5 inches. But then when fully hard, grow to 7 inches or even more.

And then there is the prodigal child, the "golden grower"; this is the most beloved of all growers. This grower has the experience of BOTH, but combined. This grower looks small and unimportant when soft. But when he gets hard, he gets longer, and longer, and fatter, and fatter; it's a spectacle of pure bliss. These types of growers are amazing to behold and should be cherished above all else to anyone that is turned on by the idea of a grower. There is nothing more humbling than having an average, or maybe just slightly above average man, compare his soft dick to a "golden grower", and then watch them both get hard as the golden grower slowly overtakes, and then eclipses the other, dwarfing him in size tenfold once they are both hard.

So what what does it mean to be grower vs. a shower? Growers start small, and then grow dramatically, where as showers, show almost everything, and barely change in size when hard.

I never really thought of both factors contributing to being a shower, as most people comment on length growth.

My girth is 3.75 inches when flaccid, but expands to 6 inches the full length of my shaft, 6.5 inches right at the base. So I'd consider myself to be a girth grower
A length grower is similar. Small or average. But then, it gets hard. And it gets longer, and longer, and longer, and longer,
At anywhere from 1 to 3 inches soft, growing to 7 inches hard. I've always been in the length gower category.

So based on your descriptions, I'm one of those rare "golden growers". I can live with that, and I can confirm that every single woman who has experienced turning me into a "golden grower" has really appreciated the end result and complimented me on it! :D

I must say that I love the term golden grower! As someone who doubles in girth and nearly triples in length, I should be the poster child!
I also grow a ton and like the term haha. Love seeing other growers! Sometimes wish I could be a huge shower for a day haha (pumping would be the closest thing i guess!)
