Blood penis and flesh penis
What is a meat penis (also: shower)?
What is a blood penis (also: grower)?
The term “blood penis” (alternatively: blood penis) is a colloquial term used to describe a penis that is relatively small when flaccid, but increases considerably in size during an erection, sometimes doubling in size or more. The opposite of this is the so-called “meat penis” (alternatively: flesh penis), this penis is relatively large in the flaccid state and does not enlarge as much during an erection.
In contrast to the “blood penis”, the size of a “meat penis” hardly changes during an erection. The blood that flows into the erectile tissue merely ensures that the penis becomes erect.

Is a blood penis sick?
No. The terms blood penis and meat penis are often used to describe the different types of penis size and changes in men. These are fixed at birth and are inherited. Both types are completely normal and have no direct impact on sexual function or fertility. Neither is related to erectile dysfunction or occurs as a result of prostate disease.
I no longer want a blood penis, what can I do?
If your blood penis seems too small and causes you problems, you can have a penis enlargement performed. Although this does not change the nature of your penis, it does enlarge it overall.
The term meat penis therefore does not refer to a blood penis that has undergone penis enlargement, but rather both terms describe two different types that are present from birth.
What if you compare a blood penis and a meat penis?
It is of course true that women are generally more attracted to a meat penis to begin with. A man with a meat penis is therefore more attractive – see menu item “Male attractiveness“. This is simply due to the fact that a growing member instinctively indicates readiness to mate, i.e. it influences sexual desire. In other words, the meat penis looks more ready to mate because it looks as if an erection is already building up. In addition to the purely reproductive component, this is often seen as a “compliment”.
More experienced women are of course aware that the size in a flaccid state does not give any indication of the size when aroused.
