What is do dicks float in water?

It's a common question whether or not penises float in water, and the answer is: it depends.

  • General Buoyancy: A body's ability to float is determined by its density relative to water. If an object is less dense than water, it floats. If it's denser, it sinks.

  • Factors Affecting Penis Buoyancy: Several factors influence whether a penis will float:

    • Erection State: An erect penis is generally less dense than a flaccid penis due to increased blood flow and expansion of the tissues. An erect penis is more likely to float than a flaccid one.

    • Body Fat Percentage: Overall body composition also affects buoyancy. A person with a higher body fat percentage will generally float easier, potentially making the penis more likely to float as well.

    • Water Density: The density of the water itself plays a role. Saltwater is denser than freshwater, so it's easier to float in saltwater.
