One study found the mean flaccid penis length to be 3.5 inches (8.9 cm). Length of the flaccid penis does not necessarily correspond to length of the erect penis - some smaller flaccid penises can grow much larger, and some larger flaccid penises cannot grow much larger. Sounds fair to me, so remember this next time you go to the gym shower ;)
The penis and scrotum can contract involuntarily in reaction to cold temperatures or nervousness, referred to by the slang term "shrinkage", due to action by the cremaster muscle. The same issue affects cyclist and exercise bike users, with prolonged pressure on the perineum from the saddle, and the straining of the exercise causing the penis and scrotum to contract involuntarily which is sometimes referred to as "gym balls" or "saddle balls". An incorrect saddle may ultimately cause erectile dysfunction.
Penises that are short when flaccid but more average when erect are generally known as growers, where those with greater flaccid lengths that increase little when erect are known as showers.
So if someone sees your flaccid penis always remember to tell them that it's a grower! :)
