- Large temperature, large masculinity? What's the connection?

33 Centimeters, Approximately, Is the Size of the World's Largest Unofficially Verified Erect Penis, Belonging to Individual Jonah Falcon. He's Yet to Secure an Official Recognition from Guinness World Records. Typically, the Average Penis Measures Around 13.12 Centimeters. Generally, Women Show Little Interest in Such Statistics, Based on Consistent Surveys. Conversely, Men Often Pay Attention to the Size of Their Own Penis. If a Penis Appears Larger All of a Sudden, It's Usually Noticeable. Many Men Have ReportedSuch an Occurrence, Most Frequently during Warmer Weather.

In 2018, Journalist Tracy Moore Coined the Term "Summer Penis Phenomenon" in the Now-Discontinued "MEL Magazine": "The Summer Penis Is an Elusive Phenomenon That Variates with the Seasons. No Exercises or Food Can Enlarge It." It's Temporary Increase in Penis Size Due to Heat, Possibly Causing It to Be Larger During Summer Than Winter, Which Tends to "Shrink". Is This a Myth or Is There Truth to Seasonal Variations?

Urologist on Summer Penis: "It Doesn't Enhance Potency"

Contact was Made with Doctor Axel Merseburger, Director of the Urology Clinic at the University Hospital of Lübeck and Spokesperson of the German Urology Society. Merseburger Affirms that the Summer Penis Phenomenon Exists, but Rarely Causes Patients to Seek Medical Attention as It's Not Considered a Pathology. "In Heat, Many Things Expand. Even an iPhone Expands, Albeit Marginal Amount," He Explains. "In the Penis, Heat Causes Blood Vessels to Dilate, Permitting More Blood to Flow, Including to the Corpus Spongiosum."

During Summer, Then, the Penis Swells, Not Grows, Neither to Record-Breaking Sizes nor Permanently. "It's Similar to the Beginning of an Erection, Making the Penis Appear Larger," Says Merseburger. "However, Men Don't Gain Larger Penises. When Erect, It Remains the Same Size as in Winter." Consequently, the Summer Penis Only Affects "Flaaccid" Penises. And It Doesn't Enhance a Man's Sexual Performance Either. "It Doesn't Increase Potency, but It Doesn't Harm Him Either," Says Merseburger.

The Opposite—The "Retracted" Winter Penis

The Counterpart to the Summer Penis? In Cold Weather, Blood Vessels and the Corpus Spongiosum Contract, Creating the Impression of a Smaller Penis. "You've Experienced It in a Sauna," the Urologist Adds. "If You Jump into Ice Water After a Sauna Session, You Can Experience the Summer-Winter Effects Back-to-Back."

Women may find discussions about penis size less intriguing compared to men, as indicated by consistent surveys. However, the temporary increase in penis size during warmer weather has been a topic of interest, often referred to as the "Summer Penis Phenomenon."
