For every man, the question of his masculine strength and masculine dignity is extremely important. That is why, even from adolescence, men start worrying about the size of their penis. If the nose and ears grow with increasing age, other organs may remain unchanged throughout life, or even shrink. In this regard, the question often arises: to what age does a penis grow?
At what age does penis growth stop?
It is believed that a man's genitals develop through puberty, that is, at the moment of puberty. This period usually begins from the age of 9 to 14 and ends at 17. It is at the age of 17 that the growth of the penis ends in men. But for some young people, growth can continue until the age of 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 young people occurs individually and can begin at different periods.. Basically, the formation of a masculine skeleton and secondary sex characteristics begins at the age of 12-14. At the same time, the penis begins to grow and gradually become thicker. Subsequently, the genital 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 enlarge, the formation of the foreskin ends, and the skin of the scrotum becomes rougher.
Every man unconsciously wants to be a winner, a leader. It's no secret that the size of the penis can become both a reason for pride and a reason for self-confidence for a representative of the stronger half of humanity. Therefore, many are interested in the age at which a penis grows. Sometimes this question becomes very important, since the completed development and formation 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 reproductive organs develop?
To understand how the penis grows, it is enough to trace the entire path of its development. The formation of the penis in men occurs in the womb, approximately in the third month of pregnancy. After the birth of a child, the length of the boy's genitals is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first period of life, that is up to 9-10 years, the penis grows by only 4-5 centimeters.
Most of the growth and development occurs in young people during their maturation period. Puberty begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, hormones begin to behave actively, due to which the penis enlarges 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 point that a young man can be considered ready for sexual activity. Until the age of 18-19, the growth of the penis continues, the foreskin develops, the testicles enlarge and the color of the skin on the scrotum changes. The growth of the genital organ stops at the age of 22, and thereafter the length may decrease only slightly.
Don't worry if the length of the genital organ seems quite small when you are calm. Often, during arousal, the penis increases several times and becomes longer. The fear of young people regarding the size of the male organ is quite understandable, but one should not dwell on this, because as practice shows, a too large penis can harm a woman's internal organs and, consequently, bring her only pain. In addition, the size of the penis often does not play a role during intercourse.
What affects the size of the penis?
There are several factors that affect how the penis grows. This is not surprising because the growth of the sexual organ and its development is an individual process that can vary. The following circumstances can affect the growth of the penis:
- Genetics. Hereditary traits are transmitted to any 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. Chronic diseases can often affect the development of the body as a whole and the function of the 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 problem to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, drugs - all this can lead to disturbances in the development of the body. Diet and routine are also very important. Therefore, in adolescence it is advisable to lead a healthy lifestyle and play sports.
What penis size is considered normal?
According to statistics, most women are absolutely satisfied with the size of their husband's penis. But for men, such data are not significant; 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-excited 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 measures less than 10 centimeters when erect. Also in urology there is a term - "micropenis" - a term for a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in an erect state.
These indicators are only averages, so you should not get hung up on them. Furthermore, the length of a partner's penis is less important to most women than other characteristics of a person. After all, most women are looking for a potential father of future children and a man in a man, and therefore pay little attention to the size of the genitals.
What to do if your penis is not growing?
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 need to worry about penis growth. The fact is that during this period the development of the genitals occurs at intervals. Growth can slow down or stop completely for a while, and then accelerate sharply. 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 the penis, it is highly recommended not to take any serious action, especially surgical intervention to enlarge the 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 hormone testosterone in the blood, which will lead to faster penis enlargement. During puberty, young people are recommended to consume more of the following foods:
- Fish and shellfish. Any fish or delicacies such as shrimp, lobster, crab, clams will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be taken into account that it is best to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables boast a high content of lutein. It is best to eat them raw so there is a chance to get the maximum vitamins and nutrients.
- Greenfresh.
- Berry. You can eat all the 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. It is important to steam or boil meat dishes.
- Condiments. Red pepper and curry spices work best in this case.
It is best to include as many fresh foods as possible in your diet. As a rule, when stored for a long time in the refrigerator or deep-frozen, most products lose all the components that are nutritious and beneficial for the male body.
It is also scientifically proven that cigarettes greatly affect the development of the genitals in men, and not in a positive way. Therefore, it is important to stop smoking during the period of formation of all sexual characteristics. And of course, it is advisable not to resort to bad habits for the rest of your life.
What makes the penis grow?
Today you can only find a huge amount of advertising that offers a variety of means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered miracle creams, ointments and pills that are supposed to make penises grow almost instantly, according to advertisements. But in reality, these promises turn out to be mere tricks to lure customers. In reality, there are only two options for penis enlargement - wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
These methods should only be resorted to when the penis stops growing, that is, when menopause and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo surgery to enlarge his penis, he is given the choice of whether or not to use special implants.
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 accept the use of implants; this mainly happens when the original length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.
The other possibility of how you can influence the growth of the penis is to wear an extender. This device is certified and used by a large number of men. It works by securing the penis in a state where it is stretched. While wearing an extender, additional cells of cavernous spongy tissue appear in the penis, due to which an increase occurs, both in length and width.
The only downside to such a device is that you have to wear it for six months; in a shorter time the desired effect cannot be achieved. You must wear the extender daily for 4-6 hours. This will help increase your penis size by 4 centimeters within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ will also increase significantly, as within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissue.
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 methods of penis enlargement target specifically the growth of cells in the corpora cavernosa. This is the simplest and safest way to increase penis size.
However, it is worth understanding that changes in the size of the penis usually occur during the day. This is again due to the cells in the corpus cavernosum reacting to the environment. That is why, before taking any penis enlargement product, you should consult a specialist to see if it is even suitable for you and if it can help.
