For every man, the question of his masculine strength and masculine dignity is extremely important. This is the reason why men start to worry about the size of their penis from adolescence. If the nose and ears grow with age, other organs may remain unchanged or even shrink throughout life. In this connection, the question often arises: until what age does the penis grow?
At what age does the penis stop growing?
It is believed that the male genitals develop during puberty, that is, at the moment of puberty. This period usually starts between the ages of 9 and 14 and ends at the age of 17. In men, the growth of the penis ends at the age of 17. However, in some adolescents, growth may continue until the age of 22-25. This is usually associated with a late onset of puberty. After 17 years, the thickness of the male penis increases and its length decreases by about half a centimeter.
Adolescent puberty occurs individually and can begin at different times.. Basically, the development of the male skeleton and secondary gender characteristics begins at the age of 12-14. At the same time, the penis begins to grow and gradually thickens. After that, the genital organ grows by about one centimeter per year. At the same time, during puberty, the male penis not only grows, but also develops: the testicles enlarge, 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 be a source of both pride and self-confidence for the representative of the stronger half of humanity. That is why many people are interested in the age of penis growth. Sometimes this question becomes very important, since the finished development and shaping of the body does not meet the expectations of the man. In such cases, young people usually resort to various means to enlarge their penis.
How do male genitalia develop?
To understand the growth of the penis, it is enough to trace the entire path of its development. In men, the penis develops in the womb, around the third month of pregnancy. After the birth of the child, the length of the male genital organ is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first stage of life, i. e. up to the age of 9-10, the penis grows by only 4-5 centimeters.
Most of the growth and development in adolescents occurs during the period of maturation. Puberty begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, hormones begin to act actively, as a result of which the penis enlarges and other sexual characteristics appear.
At the age of 15-16, teenagers experience so-called wet dreams - ejaculation during night sleep. At this time, a young man is considered ready for sexual activity. Until the age of 18-19, the penis continues to grow, the foreskin forms, the testicles enlarge, and the skin color of the scrotum changes. The growth of the genital organ stops at the age of 22, and then its length may decrease only slightly.
Do not worry if the length of the genital organ in a relaxed state seems rather small. Often, during excitement, the penis multiplies and becomes longer. The fear of young people about the size of the male organ is completely understandable, but you should not dwell on it, because, as practice shows, too large a penis can injure a woman's internal organs and, accordingly, can only bring it with you. pain. Also, often the size of the penis does not play a role during intercourse.
What affects penis size?
Many factors affect penis growth. This is not surprising, because the growth and development of the genital organ is an individual process that can be different. The following conditions can affect penis growth:
- Genetics. Hereditary characteristics are transferred to every 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 various hormonal disorders that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, leads to disturbances in the development of primary sexual characteristics, and perhaps even to a delay in maturation.
- Chronic diseases. Chronic diseases can often 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 with this issue to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drugs - all this can lead to disturbances in the body's development. Diet and routine also have a big impact. Therefore, it is advisable to lead a healthy lifestyle and do sports during adolescence.
What penis size is considered normal?
According to statistics, most women are completely satisfied with the size of a man's penis. However, in the case of men, these data are not significant, for them the size of the male organ is still very important. Therefore, 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-excited state is 7-10 centimeters. When erect, the correct size of the penis is 14-16 centimeters. In this case, the thickness of the erect penis should be 3-5 centimeters. A small penis (in medicine) is a penis that is less than 10 centimeters when erect. There is also a term in urology - "micropenis" - the designation of a penis whose size in erection is less than 6 centimeters.
These indicators are only averages, so you shouldn't get hung up on them. In addition, for most women, the length of the partner's penis is less important than other characteristics of the person. After all, most women look for the potential father and husband of their future children in a man, so they pay little attention to the size of the genitals.
What to do if your penis is not growing?
Young people often start to worry during puberty if the size of the penis does not change. It is important to note that during puberty you do not have to worry about penis growth. The fact is that during this period the development of the genitals occurs at intervals. Growth may slow down or stop completely for a while and then suddenly speed up. In addition, the development of the penis alternates between growth and thickness, so sometimes the increase in length is not noticeable.
If you are still not satisfied with the size of your penis, it is strongly not recommended to take any serious measures, especially surgery to enlarge your penis. During adolescence, you can influence the growth of the genitals 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 leads to faster penis enlargement. During adolescence, it is recommended for adolescents to consume more of the following foods:
- Seafood. Any fish or delicacy such as shrimp, lobster, crab, shellfish will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be noted that it is best to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables boast a high lutein content. It is best to eat them raw, so there is a chance of maximum vitamin and nutrient intake.
- Foliagefresh.
- 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 least fatty varieties. Steaming or boiling meat dishes is important.
- Spices. Red pepper and curry seasoning are the best in this case.
It is best to include as many fresh foods as possible in your diet. As a general rule, when stored in the refrigerator or freezer for a long time, most products lose all the nutrients and beneficial ingredients for the male body.
It has also been scientifically proven that cigarettes seriously affect the development of male genitalia, and not in a positive way. That is why it is important to stop smoking during the development of all sexual characteristics. And of course, it is advisable not to resort to bad habits for the rest of your life.
What causes the penis to grow?
Today, you can find a huge amount of advertising that offers various means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered miracle creams, ointments and pills that are advertised to make the penis grow almost instantly. In reality, however, these promises turn out to be mere tricks to entice customers. In fact, there are only two options for penis enlargement - wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
These methods should only be used when the growth of the penis has stopped, that is, when the transitional age and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo surgery to enlarge his penis, he can choose whether or not to use special implants.
The fact is that the operation is possible when the inner part of the penis is surgically lengthened, as a result of which it grows by 3-5 centimeters. Basically, such changes are quite enough for men. In some cases, men consent to the use of implants; this mainly occurs when the initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.
The second possibility to influence the growth of the penis is to wear an extender. This device is certified and used by many men. It works by locking the penis in a position where it is erect. While wearing an extender, additional cave-like spongy cells appear in the penis, resulting in an increase in length and width.
The only disadvantage of such a device is that it has to be worn for six months, the desired effect cannot be achieved in a shorter period of time. You should wear the extension for 4-6 hours a day. This helps to increase the size of the penis by 4 centimeters within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ also increases significantly, as the soft tissue increases significantly within six months.
The corpora cavernosa is a special spongy tissue that reacts very sensitively to changes in temperature, as well as to the different content of the man's blood. The best methods of penis enlargement usually specifically target the growth of cells in the corpora cavernosa. This is the easiest and safest way to increase the size of your penis.
However, it is worth understanding that changes in the size of the penis usually occur during the day. This is again due to the reaction of the cells of the corpus cavernosum to the environment. That is why, before taking any penis enlargement product, consult a specialist to see if it is suitable for you at all and if it can help.
