Urologists took ultrasounds of hundreds of penises to come up with a scientific definition of the phenomenon.
The team was hoping to spot something in the men’s medical histories that could predict their tendency to have either type of penis. But,
alas, they failed to find any correlation between added penis length and age, weight, smoking status, or other health conditions. Showers did tend to have larger flaccid penises in general, though . Conversely, growers tended to have a thinner tunica albuginea, the thick fiber layer that surrounds and protects the spongy penile tissue. This difference in the tunica albuginea might mean that growers have more elastic penises, but the authors say more research is needed.
It’s possible that there are other factors behind being a grower or shower that the team wasn’t able to investigateor vice-versa. Either way, their research does seem to answer a common“In the meantime we have defined what constitutes a ‘grower’ or a ‘shower’ in a scientific way, which will be important for the future,” said
