Why penis 'grows' after weight loss as Jelly Roll's wife Bunnie Xo opens up about sex life

Here is why the penis appears to 'grow' after you lose an excessive amount of weight.

Why are we talking about weight loss and the impact it has on penis size, you ask?

Well, you have Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie Xo, to thank for that, as the Dumb Blonde podcaster recently dished out details about her sex life with the country singer after he lost over 275 pounds.

Speaking about the confidence boost she'd seen in her husband of 10 years, Bunnie told The Howard Stern Show back in February that Jelly Roll's manhood now looks 'severely bigger'.

"I will tell you that it is very true that when a man loses weight, it grows a lot," she said.

"Oh God, he’s gonna kill me," she added, laughing.

Does weight loss actually impact penis size?

Now, the immediate reaction after reading the 46-year-old's admission is likely, 'I now know more about Jelly Roll than I ever wanted to,' followed by, 'Does weight loss actually make your penis grow?'

Here's what you need to know.

According to LifeMD, losing a lot of weight can certainly make a person's penis appear significantly bigger, as in Jelly Roll's case, but this doesn't mean the appendage actually grows.

This is because losing weight often leads to a reduction of the 'fat pad' above the penis, revealing more of the genital itself.

As for changes in penis size itself, weight loss cannot cause the organ to grow, as this is determined by factors such as genetics, hormones and puberty alone.

So what does this mean for Bunnie's claims about Jelly Roll's manhood?

Well, that can also be explained, thanks to a condition known as 'buried penis syndrome'.

Buried penis syndrome is pretty self-explanatory, with excess weight leading to the true length of the penis being hidden underneath a layer of skin and fat.

Losing weight significantly impacts this condition, which explains why Bunnie noticed a difference in the size of her husband's manhood.

What are the other sexual benefits of weight loss?

Aside from your manhood having an enhanced appearance, weight loss can also lead to increased libido and the ability to maintain an erection – the latter of which Jelly Roll admitted to.

Speaking about his weight loss journey during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Podcast, the 'Save Me' singer said: "I couldn’t even get aroused, I was so big. I was having to play Twister to have sex, left foot here, right foot on the edge, ‘are we in there yet, tell me if you feel something’, it was bad."
