Flaccid Length
Flaccid Length
This is a huge topic for many of us newbies considering an implant. The answer I came up with was not what I had expected but I can live with it. Time to sort out truth from myth. You guys who have had your implant 1+ years we need your expert help! Is it true that your flaccid penis fully deflated is now only about one inch shorter than your fully inflated penis? Studies and research on the LGX shows this to be universal. I had really expected it to remain, well, normal. So what is the truth? Thanks

Re: Flaccid Length
My flaccid length gained 1.5" when the implant was put in (going from 2" to 3.5"). My erect/inflated length stayed the same (5"). For many of us the longer flaccid/uninflated penis was a nice side effect. So I went from being a "grower" (small and then more than doubling when going from soft to hard) to being a "show-er" (soft length being closer to the hard length).

Re: Flaccid Length
Yes the length difference between flaccid and inflated is not much.

I also have the lgx. Flaccid length is more normal than other models. Although my flaccid is bigger & fuller than pre-implant it can be fully deflated to 1.5 to 2" less than fully when inflated to erect state. Everyone is different but my understanding with other models there is less of a difference. Hope this helps your research but only time will tell for you.

And, here is the ONLY thing that ALL implanted have in common... they once had a dick the could do nothing with and now they cal screw themselves silly regardless of how much length was gained or lost... let's keep our eye on the ball shall we, hummmmmmm.

Re: Flaccid Length
Doug,
I was getting consumed by measuring my dick all of the time to see if the LGX had started its potential expansion yet so at the 6 month mark I decided I woul not measure again until my one year anniversary. I am currently just shy of 10 months. At 6 months my deflated length was 5” and fully pumped was 6” so my size corresponds to what you are saying.
There are variables. There are far fewer guys with malleable implants and their measurements are constantly the same. Within the different brands and models of implants there are different results. As David mentioned in his response, he used to be a grower. I am curious if a poll was done of the hard/soft variation in growers vs. show-ers if that matters in this 1” difference.

Re: Flaccid Length
Thanks guys, I used to embarrass easily and a long flaccid = horney in the shower. Now not so much, really don't care Larry is right still it is a mental adjustment.
