I agree... 5 inches of soft cock is where men start to be a show-er... but it is really about the ratio of hard vs. soft size that makes you a grow-er or a show-er. If someone has a 4 inch soft cock and it only gets to about 5-ish when hard, they are still a show-er even though they are only on the low side of average.
It's all about how large you get when hard... and that has EVERYTHING to do with your insulin resistance levels... the more insulin resistant you are (diabetic or having the diabetic gene even though it might be dormant ie. type-2 diabetes) the more you will be a show-er because the ravages of having too much sugar in your blood stream weakens your arteries and if one has hypoglycemic tendencies (pre type-2), then they will not be able to harness enough blood pressure to REALLY fill their penises and provide them with a truly skin stretching erection.
Those with heart defects and allergy and or asthma issues will also tend to be show-ers since they too will have impeded blood flow and a supressed circulatory system.
Not to get all medical on y'all, but I was just thinking about why people are show-ers vs. grow-ers and I think my theory is pretty sound.
Wow, Tripod!
Hmmm.--You've got me to thinking. AND reflecting back through the years. A number of the guys whom I've known in my life--family, friends, business acquaintances, others....(those whom I've either suspected were "hung" by either noticing their bulges or catching scant glimpses of them, etc.) virtually ALL of them matched at least some of the medical conditions you cited...eventually.
Many of the guys I went to school with in the 1960's and 70's who were impressive in the lockerrooms in fact DID go on to later have diabetes, circulation impairments, heart attacks and (some) even had early strokes!
NOT to scare anyone here, of course.
But since circulation is directly tied into "how we hang", you just may be on to something!
Huh. 'Wonder if THIS subject would not make an interesting college thesis? "Does HANGING foreshadow a future medical crisis for a man?" :biggrin1:
(Can you just imagine how your professor would react?)
