The size of the penis is one of the great curiosities that surround the life of man since he is small. This is something that has been highly mythologized and that causes great doubts and insecurities in all those men who believe they have a small penis. The reality is that the vast majority of men are normal, and only in very few exceptions can we speak of micropenis. But beyond reality, many boys are concerned about the measurements of their member.
You ask yourself How old does the penis grow?? In the following oneHOWTO article we will explain how penis growth is, we will talk about the different stages and we will answer your question.
How old does the penis grow?
Although no study can demonstrate that depending on the origins or ethnic groups there is a direct influence on the size of the penis, the reality is that the average length of the male member varies -often quite conspicuously- from a country to another. In the following article you can see the penis size by country. Beyond the final size, the truth is that all men, have the penis they have, they have a limit point from which they will no longer grow.
The limit is very difficult to mark, since it changes a lot from one person to another and, among other things, has to do with the hormonal production of the individual, your lifestyle or the type of diet you eat. That is to say, the more hormone production, the bigger the penis will be, while those who suffer from hormonal production problems will be more likely to have smaller penises.
The studies that have been done in this regard explain that, approximately, the average penis measures about 10 centimeters in a flaccid state and rises up to 12-17 centimeters when it is erect. But, to what age does the penis grow? The answer to this question is that the growth of the penis does not vary with respect to the growth of any other part of the male body, that is, that the penis continues to grow until the age of 19 or 20. This time is when boy-to-man development comes to an end and although there are exceptions that may keep growing until 21, the gain that can occur during this time does not usually reach half a centimeter.
How long does the penis grow? The growth phases
We have already said that the penis grows evenly with the rest of the body, that is, in those times in which the entire body grows more so does the penis, taking special relevance the years of the puberty, when there is a greater production of hormones. To understand it, you have to look at the growth periods of the penis, which we could divide into two stages.
During the first years and until puberty, the growth of the male member is noticeable through the length, that is, it goes growing along. At 12-13 years of age, when puberty usually begins, hormonal production intensifies enormously, this being the time when the penis grows, a growth that will last until 16-17 years. When this first stage ends, growth becomes less noticeable, especially at the level of length, but as we have said before, up to 20 years the penis continues to grow. In these 3 years, growth is basically in thickness, it continues to do so in terms of length, but basically grows wide.
Taking into account everything that we have explained so far, if you are not yet 20 years old, you should not worry about the size of your penis since it is still in the process of development, waiting to reach its maximum level. On the contrary, if you have already reached 20 years of age and your body development has been normal, it is most likely that you have already reached the size that you will have forever.
Next we will explain to you what is the normal size of a penis.
