Is is true that unlike the rest of a boy's body, his penis grows more in his 2nd decade than in his 1st?

Question

All my life I've known that a boy's penis is much larger in adulthood than it was in infancy, and when you consider how small a baby is in comparison to a man, it makes perfect sense. However, what they DON'T tell you is how and when it goes from the average size of 1.5" (flaccid) at birth to 3.5" at age 18, so I guess I always assumed it grew in tandem with the rest of the body -- 2" by age 4 and 3" by age 10 so it retained the same proportion with his height. However, I recently read that at the onset of puberty it is still fairly close to the size it was in infancy and early childhood (1.5" to 2"). Then, during the years of puberty, it nearly doubles in length while only the last 20% of the adult height is achieved. Freud's "latency period" in gradeschool corresponds with the lowest penis-length/body-height ratio of the lifespan because there is a lull where the sexual organs grow much slower than do the rest of the child's body. How true is this?

Answer 1

Right during puberty it will grow so fast you don't even realize it until you look down and say WOW! I remember when I was about 12 and measuring it at about 3" and thinking how much my life sucks. Then one day when I noticed it was bigger I measured it again at about 6" and it has stayed roughly that size ever since.

I have heard some of the goofiest rumors from girls that I just have to laugh at. Like for instance one girl asked me if it was true that every time a guy has sex does their penis get 1/4 inch longer. I was like, well then my penis would probably be the length of a football field, lol.

Answer 2

it really is genuine from the books i have examine. And it really is smart. The hormones that reason a boy's penis to advance are those that are lively for the time of puberty. So it shouldn't advance that a lot of their youthful years. also, i does not have self belief Freud on a lot. He replaced right into a cocaine addict who had options of raping his very youthful fiance (He replaced right into a lot older than her). maximum of his theories were disproved through present day psychologists.

Answer 3

That is because during puberty, the release of testosterone and other sexual hormone cause an increase in size of sexual organs, start some sexual processes, and cause for secondary sexual traits (body hair) to appear.

Answer 4

I would argue that the development of musculature is easily equivalent during a boy's second decade. Look at the biceps of a 10 year old and compare them to a 19 year old!

Of course, pubic hair, chest hair, armpit hair, arm hair, beard -- nonexistent in first decade, significant in 2nd decade.

Some of the most amazing growth in males is ear hair and eyebrow hair beginning in a man's 40's! Simply amazing.

Answer 5

almost all that growing you talk about is between 14 and 20.not much change after that .and not much before either

Answer 6

this is a math question>>> I am RN, male.you have no morals and way too much curiosity.. Find some modesty for Christ's sake..

Answer 7

Great question in mathematics.!
