Is this hereditary?

[cosmictraveler]

I've always thought boob size was hereditary. Is penis size?

Not to a plastic surgeon, they make anything larger or smaller or even make things disappear altogether.

traits can be hereditary, but this doesn't mean that there is a straightforward relationship between the genetic component in question and the phenotypic result.

That is not how the development of organs, tissues, structures work.


Genes operate in a environment where there is a lot of crosstalk between lateral regulatory pathways. These modify the action of an individual gene. The result of the crosstalk can be anything from no influence whatsoever, a modulated result damping the effect, a modulated result increasing the effect, and anything in between.

This lateral cross talk and combinatorial control is dependent on the genetic background.

Does it mean all can't acquire?

What do you mean by that?

 

[Kumar]

What do you mean by that?

If there is a genetic basis or predisposition, can't all acquire by manipulation big penis..?

 

[spuriousmonkey]

Sure, but it might mean you get big ears and a floppy anus as a side deal.

There can be some range resulting all these still bigger or smaller.

 

[Kumar]

Interestingly, most penises are very much the same size when erect.The man whose non-erect penis is smallish will usually achieve about a 100 per cent increase in length during sexual excitement.The man whose non-erect penis is on the largish size will probably manage about a 75 per cent increase.

Indicated, but above don't look like correct.

Sorry trying again.

Is it predisposition?

 

[spuriousmonkey]

Is it predisposition?

It's more like a genetic 'mess'

It's more like a genetic 'mess'

Whether predisposition is also a genetic mess?

Whether genetic mess causes variations in blood flow resulting variations in parts?

Moms never seeing their children naked past puberty is one of the strangest things about modern life.

I'm not sure it's working out too well, that aspect. It's like we're imitating the weird side of rich people's lives of the past.

Well, religion has made a good job making people be embarrased of their bodies, like there´s something wrong with it.

See, this is totally unfair because my sister has HUGE boobs and mine are only average... damn genetics Does anyone have a paper or reference for breast size genetics? I'd love to understand exactly how I got the short end of the stick here... All I get when I google it is breast -cancer- genetics... close but not quite!

According to my Mom, I have my father's mother's boobs. :bugeye: Not only in size but positioning on my chest. I never knew there were low set and high set boobs. Now I notice all the time.

I think covered up bodies make the body more mysterious and therefore sexier.

That is because you weren´t born in a nude society... you are just more confortable with what you grew up with.

According to my Mom, I have my father's mother's boobs.

She doesn't want them back?
