For every man, the issue of his male strength and male dignity is extremely important. That is why, even from adolescence, men begin 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 often arises: at what age does the penis grow?
At what age does penis growth stop?
It is believed that a man's 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. Exactly at the age of 17, the growth of the penis ends in men. 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 teenagers happens individually and can start at different times.. Basically, the formation of a male skeleton and secondary sexual 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 enlarge, the formation of the foreskin ends, and the skin of the scrotum becomes rougher.
Everyone 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 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 issue becomes very important, since the development and finished formation of the body does not meet the expectations of the man. In such cases, as a rule, young men use 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 genital organ of the boy is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first period of life, i. e. up to 9-10 years, the penis grows by only 4-5 centimeters.
Most of the growth and development occurs in adolescents during their period of maturation. 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 time that a young person 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 then the length may decrease slightly.
Do not worry if, when you relax, the length of the genital organ seems quite small. Often, during awakening, the penis grows several times and becomes longer. The fear of young people about the size of the male organ is quite understandable, however, we should not dwell on this, because, as practice shows, a very large penis can damage a woman's internal organs and, in accordance withcircumstances, just bring it. 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 penis growth. This is not surprising, because the growth of the sexual organ and its development is an individual process that can change. The following circumstances can affect the growth of the penis:
- Genetics. Hereditary characteristics are transmitted to every person, but you must 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 disruptions that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the development of the main sexual characteristics, and perhaps even to a delay in maturation.
- Chronic disease. 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 well, it is better to contact a specialist in this matter to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drugs - all this can lead to disturbances in the development of the body. Diet and routine also have a big impact. 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 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-excited state is considered to be from 7 to 10 centimeters. During erection, the correct 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 measuring less than 10 centimeters when erect. Also in urology there is a term - "micropenis" - a definition of a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in an erect state.
These indicators are only averages, so you should not depend on them. Moreover, 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 should you do if your penis does not grow?
Often in adolescence, young men 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 in intervals. Growth may slow or stop altogether for a while, and then accelerate significantly. 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 not recommended to take any serious action, especially surgical intervention for penis enlargement. During the period of adolescence, you can influence the growth of the genital organs 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 recommended to consume more of the following foods:
- Seafood. Any fish or tasty food such as shrimp, lobster, crab, mussels will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be noted that it is good to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables can boast a high content of lutein. It is best to eat them raw, so there is an opportunity to get the maximum vitamins and nutrients.
- Greeneryfresh.
- berries. You can eat any berries, it is good to combine them with cottage cheese.
- meat. You can eat any mutton, but it is better to choose less fatty varieties. It is important to steam the meat dishes.
- seasoning. 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 ingredients that are nutritious and useful for the male body.
It has also been scientifically proven that cigarettes seriously affect the development of male genital organs 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 advisable not to use bad habits during the rest of your life.
What causes the penis to grow?
Today you can find only a large amount of advertisements that offer a variety of means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered creams, ointments and miracle pills that are supposed to make the penis grow almost instantly, according to the advertisements. However, in reality, these promises turn out to be mere gimmicks to lure customers. In reality, there are only two options for penis enlargement - wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
These methods should be used only when the penis stops growing, that is, when transition age and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo penis enlargement surgery, 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 stretched surgically, due to which it grows 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 initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.
The second option on 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 reclined position. While wearing an extender, additional cells of cavernous spongy tissue appear on the penis, due to which growth occurs, both in length and in width.
The only disadvantage of such a device is that you have to keep it for six months; in a shorter period of time, the desired effect cannot be achieved. You should wear the extender every day for 4-6 hours. This will help increase the size of your penis by 4 centimeters within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ will also increase significantly, since within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissue.
The corpus cavernosum is a special spongy tissue that reacts very sensitively to temperature changes, as well as to the content of various substances in a person's blood. As a rule, the best methods of penis enlargement are specifically aimed at increasing the cells of the corpora cavernosa. This is the simplest and safest way to increase the size of the penis.
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. That is why, before taking any penis enlargement product, you should consult a specialist to see if it is at all suitable for you and if it can help.
