If you’ve recently hopped on Google, or Reddit to find out if you’re imagining things or if your penis size can increase as the weather warms up you are not alone. It sounds great in theory. But is this all just a pipe dream (pun intended)? We are here to give you the real deal on the magical summer penis.
Logic says
You don’t really need us to tell you that cold shrink’s things, so the opposite applies when it comes to heat. When anything gets hot it swells and expands, including your penis.
Men Say
As the temperature rises, some men swear the heat has a flattering effect on their penises, adding inches in length and girth down below. According to Aaron Spitz urologist and author of The Penis Book: A Doctor’s Complete Guide to the Penis; “It makes sense to me because of the underlying mechanism of how a man’s penis can expand and contract in size,” he said. “The size of the penis can increase and decrease as a result of the relaxation or contraction of the many tiny blood vessels that comprise the inside of the shaft of the penis.” Warmth, he said, “increases relaxation of these blood vessels, which increases the blood flow through them, filling out the penis more and giving it a longer, fuller appearance.”
Science Says
As fascinating as this subject may be, there’s no definitive scientific evidence one way or another on summer penis. While there could be some truth to the idea that penises appear bigger in the heat, there isn’t enough research on the subject for doctors to say whether it’s absolutely, completely real. Your testicles absolutely do hang a little lower when it’s hot, though. Chances are what you are experiencing is vasodilation. Meaning you are slightly swollen due to extra dilation of your blood vessels. The increased blood flow will expand the corpora (erectile tissue).
A giant penis is not necessary for sexual pleasure for you or your partner, and a few millimeters extra in girth or length is unlikely to affect your sexual performance in any way. However, if you were wondering it is a real thing. Whatever the season, if you want to look larger, consider shaving or waxing: Removing excess hair around your penis will accentuate your package
