weight loss and penis size

[rzande1]

hey everyone. I hard once tha with every so many pounds you loose you gain an inch of visible penis. does anyone know what the ratio is?

[osuche]

At a certain point, that logic would have to break down, right?

Otherwise there'd be a huge penis and nothing attached to it. :rofl:

Shhhh! Some women would probably prefer us that way! :kissass:

[1nutworld]

I'm of the opinion that there are many women who believe that is the ONLY example of the male species in existance

*checks penis* I was wondering why I seemed to be fluctuating so much lately...

Yeah. This is completely false in just about each and every way possible. I've slid up and down the scale for a 25Ibs range and my penis has always been the same. And I've never, ever heard of anything even close to this in all my medicine books...and I research the sex chapters quite thoroughly :D

And I spend enough time with it to notice, so yes I'm sure.

I'm guessing some joker thought this up and came up with a bonehead theory. I can just imagine it... "Your erection is effected by the bloodflow to the penis. So if you lose weight, the blood will flow in extra volumes to the penis instead of to the fat that was there before."

Too bad subcutaneous tissue (fat) has a very, very low blood supply. And the odds are that if there was extra blood freed up by losing weight, it'd go to more vital areas, like the lungs and brain and intestines (Yes yes, I know our erections are vital to US, but not so much to the body overall).

Still, it'd be kinda awesome if this were true. It'd give us guys a reason to get off our lazy fat asses and work our beer bellies off.

*pokes beer belly* now that's just sad. I don't even drink any beer.

A little over a year ago I got really sick and lost just over 40 lbs. in about three weeks and "little IowaMan" didn't seem to grow at all. :(

I have heard that this is true. Not that I have any personal experience in it :) but males build a fat pad over the pelvis, which would cover some of the base of the penis. One would then think that with weight loss, this fat would disappear, and then more penis would be visible. As per the original question, the rate of this... it would be rather personal, I believe, fluctuating from one man to the next and depending upon where his body fat builds up.

And osuche, where do you think dildos come from? :spin:

[maddy]

I'd tend to agree with FallenAngel on a theory level... i think it's more of an appearance issue than a scientic/medical one. But what do I know... I'm a girl :)

"...you gain a visible inch..."

Depends on how you measure visible. A buddy of mine used to give me a jab when he saw a guy with a mondo beer gut poking out and say, "I wonder how long it's been since he saw his dick..."

The question is "visible" so...if a big ol" belly is keeping the joy pole hidden then there would be a correlation between weight loss and visibility.

I'm glad that mine is 100% visible...

This isn't an actual increase in the penis, though, it's a decrease in everything else. I'll roll with you on the angle of the pad on the abdomen, because that can cause the penis to seem smaller than it is. But this isn't a matter of the penis itself. It's just like if a guy has super thick pubes all around his dick; it makes a lot of the shaft disappear from view. If he shaves his pubes all off, his cock is going to look considerably larger, but it's not going to have changed at all.

As treeview said, 'you gain a visable inch'. Key word being VISUAL! As far as gaining an actual, physical inch, weight has no effect at all on that.

If this theory was true, men'd be passing women as the sex more concerned about their weight, by far.

Yeppers! I was married to it.

You certainly have a better view of it. :p


To respond to the question...I wouldn't know. I haven't fluctuated in weight more than five lbs in the past 21 years.

I have heard this before and if it's true my boss's dick would have to be a foot long for him to even see it. The man is pushing 500 lbs.

[dicksbro]

Maybe it's just with less around the middle, the lower parts are more visible. :rolleyes2

Based on the theory proposed here, that with every so many pounds you lose you gain an inch...wouldn't that be the other way around, that he'd have a small penis since he hasn't lost any weight?

Or are you refering to a different 'this' that you've heard of?

I'm probably quite lost. Cary on.

[rockintime]

..."little IowaMan" didn't seem to grow at all. :(

LMAO...since you're such a baseball fan, I'm surprised you don't call it "Louisville Slugger" or "The Grand Salami".

[rockintime]

Was going to just give a link here but since it was a blog site, wasn't sure if that was proper, so here's the info that was in it:

"Dr. Oz on Oprah: 35 lb weight loss equals one inch of...
...growth in a man's penis length.
'I never heard THAT before!' Oprah exclaimed to Dr. Oz as he returned to her show, advising overweight men that extra girth around the belly and groin area can actually subtract from the length of the penis."


Hmmmmm....

Well...not that I don't trust Dr. Oz, but I figured a test was in order...
since I certainly wasn't going to LOSE 35 pounds while typing this post, I still decided to do an independent test...
Set my scale so it SHOWED I was 35 pounds lighter...and LO and BEHOLD...

ANOTHER INCH!!!!!

(I'm sure it had nothing to do with the 5 viagras I gulped down). :D

:rofl: There was a day when he had a baseball nickname but now he gets a bit self conscious out in public so he just goes by little IowaMan.

Its the guy who does all the health stuff on TV - Can't think of his name. He was on TV the other day and in his book he claims an overweight man who loses 35 pounds will gain an inch of visible penis length.

If this is really true - Its time to lose 70 pounds!!!

Again, the key words here are 'overweight' and 'visible'. If fat builds up on your pubic area, to the point of which you're obese, then that's going to crowd around your cock and make the base become obscured by the surrounding fat. And if you lose that extra padding, it'll become visible again.

If you're 70 Ibs overweight, and you lose it, then yeah, you'll gain a VISIBLE inch, but not a functional inch. The penis doesn't change, everything else is. It's just an optical illusion...a rather pleasing and fun one, but an optical illusion nonetheless. And if you're 70 Ibs overweight, there are other possibly (but not necicarrily) more valid reasons to lose that weight.

And if you're not 70 Ibs overweight, you're penis won't even look different, except for the fact that it'll be attatched to a really hungry skeleton. And who wants that? :huh:

[CrouchingBuddha]

BTW, I'm not trying to be an ass here and rain on anyones parade or anything. I just don't want anyone trying to run with this idea when it's not going to help any. The last thing Pixie needs is for all its men to suddenly become anorexic.

Oh yeah. :withstupi

[WildIrish]

:yikes:


I just realized that the camera adds 10lbs!







Than means my penis is slightly larger than it appears. ;)

That's only if the camera doesn't add 10Ibs to your penis :D

That explains why my back is so sore. :p




Not to mention her front. :yikes:

[GingerV]

<-- looks over at the 4 lbs of pork loin she's about to fix for dinner....has a sudden image of what the 10 lb penis would look like, blanches, and primmly crosses her legs.

YIKES! ;)

[IowaMan]

Okay, so the topic is whether or not a penis will gain size after weight loss. Is it possible for the opposite to happen? Will the thing get smaller if the guy loses weight? Here's why I ask.

Over a year ago I lost about 40 lbs. after getting really sick. I've put about 20 of that back on and thought nothing had changed "down there." I was looking around here and came across some pics another Pixies guy had posted and thought, "HOLY CRAP DUDE!" Got me wondering how I would "measure up" so I started thinking of a special Pixie and BAM!!! there was Little IowaMan in all his glory, or so I thought.

Things seemed to be normal for him but the final tally was less than it used to be by about an inch. :confused: He used to be just over nine at full strength but yesterday he was stretching to hit eight. WTF????

I mean, when I did the measuring I was feeling pretty crappy, would that have anything to do with it?

I'm not necessarily concerned about it or anything but it sort of threw me. Felt like George Costanza and his shrinkage. But this was before I took about a half hour bath. :rofl:

[Matticus]

I think the myth started over "usable" size as opposed to visable.

If a person is really over weight, they may not be able to use as many inches on their loved on. Hence, it grows (in the view of your mate) when you lose weight. :loveshowe
