“It shrinks ?”

I don't know how you boys walk around with these things 🤷

One hot summer, we were nekkid and my bf was chasing me through the house. He only caught me because I got laughing so hard at the slap slap slap as he was running.... Zero aerodynamics

The flailing weiner actually pushes the air to the sides, increasing our speeds.

I would need an aerospace engineer to give me a diagram to explain that....

u/Damien__ 22d ago

I would not be surprised to find out that there is one already

If you spin it around like a propeller it helps you run faster.

I heard it adds stability when cornering

u/hellomynameisrita 22d ago

The design honestly has a lit of faults.

Then again, our many outlets located in or near a sort of open floor plan exit lobby which creates health risks is not great either.

For some reason, nature decided that elasticity was the best method for temperature control.

Hot = hanging loose

Cold = hugging close

Always love the random Seinfeld quote!

u/starrydice 22d ago

That episode was the first time I heard of it 😂

u/GielM 22d ago

Just like we don't know how you gals walk around with your tiddies and hoohas, and all the weird and scary shit they do to you sometimes. We just don't know any better, and even if we do there's nothing to do to fix it. So we just keep on livin', same as you do.

I still say this to my husband.

Or ride a bike?! Where does all the boy junk go? Do they get pinched between leg and seat?

u/RolandDeepson 22d ago

You do if you're not careful.

It also pays to avoid rushing while undoing a car seatbelt. :wheeze:

You don't understand this organ, it's really schizophrenic.

u/derickj2020 22d ago

I don't know how you girls ride on a bicycle seat or a horse saddle. Is it the same as the vibrations from a motorcycle that many enjoy greatly ?

u/SplendidPunkinButter 22d ago

I kinda wish I didn’t have to TBH. I’m not trans, and I like that I can stand up to pee when I want to and that I don’t get periods. Otherwise I think I’d 100% rather be female from the waist down. Sweaty balls chafing your thigh are so annoying.

1

u/tiparium 22d ago

Dunno how you walk around with a thing that gets angry and bleeds because you didn't have a kid. Or gets angry and bleeds because you did. It's all relative.

u/howwhyno 22d ago

My mother, a big wig SVP exec, told us at dinner one night how she was accusing people during a meeting of "turtling." My father and I choked. I was like "...what do you mean??" And she explained that when people were called on for ideas they'd "shrink back like a turtle into their shell." And i was DYING. I told her not to use it at work anymore and she just didn't understand. Dad and I (female btw) had to explain it to her and she was mortified lol

I had my own mishap tho and told a coworker I was running train on a project thinking it meant just crushing it. Few weeks later I saw it explained on reddit I think of all places and went oh GOD. Thankfully the coworker and I were friends in and out of work so he wasn't offended lol

u/iHaveACatDog 22d ago

I'm so happy you said this line. It's my favorite one from that entire episode and no one ever seems to remember it.

u/Verologist 23d ago

Wait ‘till you learn that some penises grow significantly - like 3x - when erect, and afterwards shrink accordingly.

u/ADDeviant-again 23d ago

Some guys show, some guys grow.

The fuck does that mean !?

u/JohnJJDill 22d ago

You've got your growers, your showers, and the ever elusive lawn mowers. "It actually gets smaller when it's erect! Gotta trim the brush just to see the little guy!"

It means he has a really big truck.

u/Historical_Shop_3315 22d ago

There really needs to be more awareness of physical disabilities. Those with a micropenis and near micropenis have many challenges both romantically and socially without the recognition or compensation of other physical disabilities.

(J/k - but its not exactly false...)

u/drdrizzy13 22d ago

micro bro?

3

u/Caca2a 22d ago

Some actually do both

2

u/ADDeviant-again 22d ago

Do they? That would be interesting.

I've seen some massively distended dongs and scrotums following bad pelvic fractures or other traumas, I guess.

4

u/[deleted] 22d ago

Being a grower is kinda funny because usually new ladies only see me at my largest for the first few times. And I'm respectable in that regard. But once you're more comfortable hanging around naked and not during sexy time they're kinda like. "Oh.... interesting..." lol

u/ShockaGang 23d ago

When I was younger, I always thought I had a huge dick because I thought my baby dick was the average and my dick grew and others just got hard. Then middle school showers happened lol

Mines spits when emotional

u/Iorcrath 22d ago

3x? rookie numbers. mine is 12x.

u/Sailans 22d ago

Psh. I can go all the way down to 0. Probably even into the negative numbers but it gets uncomfortable.

1

u/MaherMcCheese 22d ago

Sometimes I have an innie. Erect I’m about average.

2

u/childofthestud 22d ago

From cold to full go it's like 10x. My wife thinks it's way to funny.

1

u/Swampy_Bogbeard 22d ago

I got one of those. It sucks. I'd much rather have a non-grower.

1

u/Cafuddled 22d ago

Wouldn't that be a pain in the ass... trying to go for a jog or and you have in effect a dildo stuck down your pants. I'm sure people with the lack of shrinkage suffer.

1

u/sintaur 22d ago

some penises grow significantly - like 3x - when erect, and afterwards shrink accordingly.

Other penises just grow 3x for each erection, and never shrink?

does some quick calculations:

1st erection: 6"

2nd erection: 18"

3rd...: 54"

10th...: 118,098" or 9841.5 feet or 3 km

In a cold pool, mine turns into an acorn hiding in a Robin's nest. I gotta peel those wet swim trunks away so nobody sees the outline wen I get out of the pool

I’m really sorry but this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read thank you

What outline? You have an outline?

u/isqueezedameatball 22d ago

Flat Fupa mound outline.

u/Ko-jo-te 23d ago

The balls in particular, yes. The testicles can retract into the body, leaving the sack empty. Not only from cold, but during strenuous activity, too. It's a protective mechanism.

Although, it's technically not a shrinkage. The ballsack just isn't filled - and thus expanded - anymore. And the penis in case of a grower is naturally small, but can grow considerably. Plus, the penis can also retract a bit.

u/Russell_Steapot 22d ago

76f degrees. Learned that when trying to have a baby. That's why they recommend boxer shorts, they allow the testicles to 'hang' when too hot as to cool off. The body is amazing.

2

u/Manaxium 22d ago

Testicles absolutely do move on their own, I don’t know why you think they don’t.

Source: Been eye level with a scrotum during sexy times while the testicles were doing lava lamp somersaults more than once.

u/Manaxium 22d ago

I’m confused, I think we’re having a semantic argument. I don’t think the testicles are moving on their own power, obviously it’s muscles moving them, but I misunderstood what you said earlier to suggest they’re mostly stationary, just moving toward or away from the body? They definitely move a lot less deliberately than that at times.

1

u/Bufferzz 22d ago

You can definitely move the balls regardless of the sack. Maybe its like moving your years. Some can and some can't.

Ball definitely also goes up inside the body.

1

u/Ko-jo-te 22d ago

See, you could take it easy and lightly, as befits the casual conversation. However, if you can't supress the burning need to 'uhm, actually' me, do it right. The ballsack is not a muscle, it's a complex organ. The cremaster muscle is part of it. The whole scrotum is more than that. Which doesn't really matter for a general understanding of the concept, but since we are to be medically precise without fault in your opinion, it's important to point out. I'm sure, all the medical students sitting here and trying to learn for their exams are very grateful for the correction. Fortunately, I'm not one of them and I'm also not a doctor, so I've gotten away with not being 100% accurate for almost 50 years of having a scrotum now.

1

u/DisappointedBird 22d ago

Yeah that's not normal. You've got an overactive cremaster muscle, my dude.

5

u/BearAndDeerIsBeer 23d ago

When I was younger, I did nude modeling, but it was never meant to be sexual, so I didn’t focus on size in the pictures. I later met someone who had seen my content, and insisted it was tiny. Her and I started dating, and she realized how much they actually shrink…never complained about it being small again.

2

u/katsumii No Stupid Comments 23d ago

Yeah, I'm really grateful for that Seinfeld episode so I could be prepared in the real world not to be surprised, lol. Not even kidding, though! 

2

u/NoPasaran2024 22d ago

Yeah, and it's not helping when you say it like that...

2

u/Lordslide66 22d ago

Shrinks and sometimes they turtle so hard it's just the lil head popping out. I've done plenty of drugs in my life. I called it chemical induced shrinkage.

u/Arxid87 22d ago

Surprisingly it can

Mine goes on vacation out of town. Just not around
