We’re all struggling in this heat. From sweaty backs to tube train infernos, it’s almost impossible to pass the day without at least some time spent leaning your front up against the windows of the frozen aisles in Tesco. But it might all be worth it!
Adding a few inches is everywhere on Grindr, but in this heatwave you could well be growing an inch or two. A lot of guys out there are experiencing what has come to be known as ‘summer penis’ where the heat has their member expanding. It only makes sense, have you ever jumped in a shower to have it shrivel up like dried apricot? Well this is the opposite of that.
Sexual health experts have supported the claim, also stipulating that increased sweating and water consumption makes male organs appear… bloated. According to the author of The Ultimate Guide to Male Sexual Health, Dr Dudley Danoff, hot temperatures cause blood vessels to swell, adding that there’s a reason ‘people don’t take honeymoons to the north pole’.
As always, twitter had to weigh in on the matter:
Summer penis come at me

But party-pooper urologist Dr Jamin Brahmbhatt from the PUR Clinic, Florida disagrees and states that penises stay the same size, regardless of weather. And yet, he also states that the skin at the organs surface contracts to maintain heat which is why it may appear larger.
It seems as though there isn’t one straight answer, but let it be known that we’re eager to do all the research necessary this coming August. Bring on the summer romance.
