The anxiety about penis size is so widespread that it has become a common part of life. We all worry about being too small or too thin, and we long for the day when we can have a penis that fans will be addicted to and enemies will be intimidated by. If we reach a certain age, will there still be time to fulfill this dream? When exactly does your penis stop growing?
In fact, the penises of most of us are fine. It's just that we are too worried. We will show you the data on when the growth of the penis stops, as well as how to make the most of the one you have.
When does the penis start to grow?
For me, it’s usually when they call me “Daddy."
Oh, you meant…
Well, in terms of growth over your life, your penis will hit its first growth spurt when puberty hits. When puberty hits and how it changes you is different for everyone. Some get whacked with the Testosterone stick early at the age of nine while some folks are late bloomers at around 14.
How big your growing penis gets and how fast is up to your hormones as well. Testosterone levels play a big factor in the speed and age of your biggest growth spurt. That being said, the overall size of your junk, like almost everything else about your body, is determined by genetics.
When does the penis stop growing?
This makes sense because adolescence is the period when our bodies undergo the most significant changes. Therefore, the final growth of the penis should occur towards the end of adolescence.
Just like the beginning of adolescence, the development of the penis varies from person to person. However, once the penis has developed to a certain extent, it will stop growing. Generally speaking, this usually occurs around the age of 18 to 21. You might notice an additional growth in your penis around your early 20s, but it won't be very obvious.
Significantly gaining weight can make your penis appear smaller. Moreover, due to the aging process of the body, more changes may occur in the future. However, by the time adolescence ends, your penis will basically remain in its original state.
What is a small penis?
A small penis is not merely referring to a penis that is smaller than the average size.
People with a small penis will have their stretched penises be 2.5 times shorter than the average length. Therefore, if the average stretched length of the penis is 5.25 inches, then the stretched length of an adult's small penis can only reach 3.67 inches or less.
A small penis is usually caused by a lack of testosterone in the uterus, and may be accompanied by other hormonal imbalances. The most common condition is gonadotropin-induced gonadal dysfunction (also known as hypogonadism).
For those who are currently in a state of panic and frantically searching for a ruler, calm down. First of all, truly small penises are very rare. Secondly, even if you have one, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you have a small penis, you can still enjoy a passionate sex life.
If you do have a small penis and are dissatisfied with it, you can try to accept yourself through treatment or by joining a support group. You can also consult a doctor to learn about treatment options such as hormone therapy or surgery. But be sure to discuss all the risks with the doctor carefully. We are talking about your penis, so it's best to be cautious.
