A member asked:
Can my boyfriends penis actually grow much from flaccid to erect?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The process of erection involves the engorgement of the penis with blood but does not change the structural elemens of the penis. So while of course, the penis enlarges with erection, afterwards it is back to the normal state and repeated erections will not produce permanent basic enlargement.
