For every man, the issue of male strength and male dignity is extremely important. That is why, even from puberty, men start to worry about the size of their penis. If the nose and ears grow with age, then other organs may remain unchanged throughout life or even shrink. In this regard, the question is often asked: at what age does the penis grow?
At what age does the penis stop growing?
It is believed that the male genitals develop throughout puberty, that is, at the time of puberty. This period, as a rule, begins between the ages of 9 and 14 and ends at 17. At the age of 17, the development of the penis in men ends. However, for some teenagers, growth may continue until age 22-25. As a rule, this is associated with a late onset of puberty. After 17 years, a man's penis increases in thickness, while its length decreases by about half a centimeter.
Puberty in adolescents occurs individually and can begin at different times.. Basically, the formation of a male skeleton and secondary sex characteristics begins at the age of 12-14 years. At the same time, the penis begins to grow and gradually thicken. After that, the sexual organ grows by about one centimeter per year. At the same time, during puberty, a man's penis not only grows, but also develops: the testicles grow, the formation of the foreskin ends, and the skin of the scrotum becomes rougher.
Every man subconsciously wants to be a winner, a leader. It's no secret that the size of the penis can become both a source of pride and a cause of self-doubt for a representative of the stronger half of humanity. That is why many are interested in the age at which the penis grows. Sometimes this matter becomes very important, since the complete development and shaping of the body does not meet the expectations of the man. In such cases, as a rule, young people resort to various means to enlarge their penis.
How do male reproductive organs develop?
To understand how the penis grows, it is enough to follow the entire course of its development. The formation of the penis in men occurs in the womb, around the third month of pregnancy. After the birth of a child, the length of the boy's genital organ is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first period of life, i. e. up to 9-10 years, the penis grows only by 4-5 centimeters.
Most of the growth and development occurs in adolescents during the maturation period. Adolescence begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, hormones begin to behave actively, due to which the penis expands and other sexual characteristics appear.
At the age of 15-16, teenagers experience so-called wet dreams - ejaculation during sleep at night. It is at this time that a young man can be considered ready for sexual activity. Until the age of 18-19 years, the development of the penis continues, the foreskin develops, the testicles enlarge and the skin color on the scrotum changes. Growth of the genital organ stops at the age of 22, and then the length may decrease slightly.
Do not worry if, when calm, the length of the genital organ seems quite short. Often, during stimulation, the penis grows several times and becomes longer. The fears of young people about the size of the male organ are quite understandable, however, we should not dwell on it, because, as practice shows, a very large penis can injure a woman's internal organs and, consequently, make herbrings pain. In addition, often the size of the penis does not play any role during sexual intercourse.
What affects penis size?
There are several factors that affect how the penis grows. This is not surprising, because the development of the sexual organ and its development is an individual process that can vary. The following conditions can affect penis growth:
- Genetics. Hereditary traits are transmitted to each person, but you need to understand that they are manifested not only in appearance, but also in the structure, growth and development of various organs.
- Hormonal levels. Here we are talking about different types of hormonal disorders that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the development of primary sexual characteristics, and perhaps even to a delay in maturation.
- Chronic diseases. Often, chronic diseases can affect the development of the body as a whole and the functioning of individual organs. Therefore, if you suspect that the development of the genitals is not going as it should, it is better to contact a specialist on this matter to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drugs - all these can lead to disorders in the development of the body. Diet and routine also have a big impact. Therefore, in adolescence, it is recommended to lead a healthy lifestyle and play sports.
What penis size is considered normal?
According to statistics, most women are completely satisfied with the size of their man's penis. However, for men such data are not important; for them the size of the male organ is still very important. That is why many are interested in the question: how long should a man's penis be?
According to average statistics, the normal size of the penis in a non-stimulated state is considered to be from 7 to 10 centimeters. When erect, the appropriate size of the penis is from 14 to 16 centimeters. In this case, the thickness of the erect penis should be from 3 to 5 centimeters. A small penis (in medicine) is a penis that is less than 10 centimeters in size when erect. Also in urology there is a term - "micropenis" - a name for a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in an erect position.
These indicators are only averages, so you should not get attached to them. In addition, for most women, the length of the partner's penis is less important than other qualities of a person. After all, most women are looking for a potential father of future children and a husband in a man, and therefore pay little attention to the size of the genitals.
What to do if your penis does not grow?
Often in adolescence, young people begin to worry if the size of the penis does not change. It is important to note that during puberty there is no reason to worry about the development of the penis. The fact is that during this period the development of the genitals occurs intermittently. Growth may slow down or stop altogether for a while and then accelerate sharply. In addition, penile growth alternates between growth and thickness, so sometimes the increase in length is not noticeable.
If you are still not satisfied with your penis size, it is highly not recommended to take any serious action, especially penis enlargement surgery. During puberty, you can influence genital development by changing your diet and daily routine.
With the help of certain foods, you can increase the level of the testosterone hormone in the blood, which will lead to faster penis enlargement. During puberty, teenagers are advised to consume more of the following foods:
- Seafood. Any fish or delicacies such as shrimp, lobster, crab, clams will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be taken into account that it is better to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables can boast a high lutein content. It's best to eat them raw so there's a chance you'll get the maximum vitamins and nutrients.
- Greeneryfresh.
- Berries. You can eat any berries, it is best to combine them with cottage cheese.
- Meat. You can eat any deli meat, but it is better to choose the less fatty varieties. It is important to steam or boil meat dishes.
- Spices. Red pepper and curry seasoning work best in this case.
It is best to include as many fresh foods as possible in your diet. As a rule, when kept for a long time in the refrigerator or deep freeze, most products lose all the ingredients that are nutritious and beneficial for the male body.
It has also been scientifically proven that smoking seriously affects male genital development and not in a positive way. That is why it is important to stop smoking during the period of formation of all sexual characteristics. And, of course, it is good not to resort to bad habits during the rest of your life.
What causes penis growth?
Today you can find just a huge volume of advertisements that offer a variety of means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered miracle creams, ointments and pills that are supposed to make the penis grow almost instantly, according to the ad. However, in reality, these promises turn out to be just tricks to attract customers. In fact, there are only two options for penis enlargement - wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
These methods should be resorted to only when the penis stops growing, that is, when the transitional age and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo penis enlargement surgery, he is given the choice of using special implants or not.
The fact is that an operation is possible when the inner part of the penis is surgically stretched, due to which it increases by 3-5 centimeters. Basically, such changes are quite enough for men. In some cases, men agree to the use of implants; this is mainly the case when the initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 cm.
The second option on how you can influence the growth of the penis is to wear an extension. This device is certified and used by a large number of men. It works by securing the penis in a stretched position. While wearing an extension, extra cavernous spongy tissue cells appear in the penis, due to which an increase occurs, both in length and in width.
The only drawback of such a device is that you have to wear it for six months; in a shorter period of time, the desired effect cannot be achieved. You must wear the extension daily for 4-6 hours. This will help you increase the size of your penis by 4 cm within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ will increase significantly, since within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissues.
Corpora cavernosa is a special spongy tissue that reacts very sensitively to changes in temperature, as well as to the content of various substances in a man's blood. As a rule, the best penis enlargement methods specifically target the growth of corpora cavernosa cells. This is the simplest and surest way to increase penis size.
However, it is worth understanding that changes in penis size usually occur during the day. This is again due to the response of corpus cavernosum cells to the environment. Therefore, before taking any penis enlargement product, you should consult a specialist to see if it is suitable for you and if it can help you.
