Blood penis or flesh penis - two terms that are often used but rarely really understood. Yet they vividly describe how different a penis can look when flaccid and erect. This guide explains the differences clearly, respectfully and with a touch of sensual curiosity - so that you can better understand and enjoy body diversity.
What is the difference between a blood penis and a meat penis?
A glance at the underwear usually reveals the flaccid size - but deducing the subsequent erection size from this often leads to misjudgements. This is because the two penis shapes react differently to arousal, grow at different rates and look different - without this saying anything about pleasure, function or sexual ability.
The terms are widely used, but many people rarely classify them correctly. In fact, they describe very vividly how both types behave when pleasure comes into play.
The meat penis
Around 20 % of men have a meat penis. Even when flaccid, it appears large, plump and present. You could say it makes an impression before arousal even arises.
During an erection, it hardens and grows a little, but often remains close to its original size. Anyone expecting a strong "pumping up" is sometimes surprised - or disappointed. This is because an impressive resting penis does not automatically mean an exceptionally large erection.
The blood penis
Around 80 % of all men have a blood penis. When flaccid, it is usually rather inconspicuous, smaller and attracts little attention. However, it has a special ability: the ability to grow.
When aroused, it fills intensively with blood and its erectile tissue expands considerably. The result can be a significant increase in length and girth - sometimes so much so that an erect blood penis far outstrips a meat penis from the same group of people.
The extent of the change is mainly genetically determined. The flaccid size therefore hardly allows any conclusions to be drawn about the later erection size.
Functional differences between blood penis and meat penis
Even if the growth is different, both penis shapes function equally well during sex. Both can develop stable erections, both can be used with pleasure and both can provide fulfilling sexual experiences.
Functional differences depend more on the individual anatomy, state of health and arousal - not on whether it is a blood or flesh penis. It is therefore impossible to say for sure which type is present when erect.
Aesthetic differences between a blood penis and a meat penis
Many people find a meat penis particularly attractive when flaccid, as it is visibly present. For some, this visual appeal is an advantage - a "presentable" penis that immediately attracts attention.
However, the blood penis compensates for this with its strong erectile ability. Some men with a meat penis are amazed when they see the size of a blood penis in an erect state. Both variants have their own aesthetic appeal - and both are perfectly normal.

Conclusion: Two forms, one goal - pleasure
Blood penises and meat penises differ primarily in terms of appearance and growth behavior. But functionally, they are in no way inferior. Both are completely normal, both can provide fulfilling sexual experiences - and both show how diverse the male body can be.
The important thing is that neither type is "better" or "worse" - they are simply different. And that's exactly what makes sexuality so exciting.

Erklärt Einiges
Haha, auch nicht schlecht! Was es nicht alles so gibt. Gut zu wissen! Mein Ex hatte demnach einen Fleischpenis. Der war echt ordentlich ... Mein neuer Partner weist einen Blutpenis auf. Ich muss gestehen, der Unterschied ist schon echt enorm, also so im schlaffen Zustand. Anfangs fand ich es doch ungewohnt, mit einem kleineren Penis umgehen zu müssen. Aber wie der Beitrag ja schon beschreibt, er wächst ja ganz gut ...
klärt gut auf
Schön aufklärend geschrieben. Das könnte man fast schon für den Sexualkundeunterricht nutzen. Ich finde solche Aufklärung gehört zum Sexualkundeunterricht dazu. Oder sollte es zumindest. Gerade in den Umkleidekabinen der Jungs werden ja doch immer wieder Vergleiche angestellt. Die Jungs mit dem Blutpenis schauen da natürlich doch etwas traurig drein. Dabei sind sie ja während des Liebesspiels später weitaus im Vorteil. Ich denke, ich werde das Mal in meiner Schule mit dem Kollegium besprechen, inwieweit diese Thematik mit aufgenommen werden kann.
Fleischpenis
Ich dachte immer, ich sei einfach nur gut bestückt. Mein Penis ist echt ordentlich. Wenn ich 30 cm sage, ist das wirklich nicht gelogen. Habe mir niemals Gedanken darüber gemacht. Ich finde es echt interessant. Wobei mir nie so bewusst war, dass mein Penis im erigierten Zustand nicht wesentlich größer wird. :/
Vielleicht habe ich aus meiner Position einfach den falschen Blickwinkel? Ich denke die Frauen achten da nun auch nicht so genau drauf, wenn der Penis von Hause aus schon eine beachtliche Größe hat.
