What determines penis size
What determines penis size
Many teenagers are interested in what determines the size, length and width of the penis. After all, this is an important moment in a man's life, and mass culture creates images that negatively affect adolescent self-esteem.
Penis and its usual dimensions
When a male penis is not erect, its length usually ranges from five to ten centimeters. The average indicators of the excited member are discussed much more often, and you can find out the results from various statistics. Most studies still give a figure that is approximately 15 cm.
This length is ideal for the depth of a woman's vagina. It is also worth noting that the smaller the penis in a calm state, the more it increases in an erect one. The curves and shape of the penis are different, and for them there are no normal or average indicators. The average penis width is 3.5 cm.
Before puberty takes effect, the penis grows very slowly, simultaneously with the overall growth of the body. Then it begins to rise sharply, usually until the age of sixteen. There is often a slight jump in length after adulthood. In old age, the penis may lose some size.
They are filled with many capillaries, and when the brain receives stimulation impulses, these small vessels fill with blood. An erection occurs - the penis is ready for insertion into the vagina. The foreskin covers the penis, performs a protective function. She secretes a special secret - smegma, which protects the penis from bacteria and chafing.
Penis size myths
People have come up with many myths to determine how to understand what is the size of a particular man's penis. Among them:
- Dependence on the length of the nose;
- The larger the foot, the longer the penis;
- To determine the size of the penis, you need to look at the man's thumb;
< li>The taller and more muscular the man, the larger the penis; - There is an opinion that homosexuals have a larger penis on average. This is also not true.
All these myths about the size of the penis have been debunked in the course of statistical studies. It is not always possible to say unequivocally how a large body weight affects the size of a man's penis. On the one hand, there is an unequivocal relationship between fat in the pubic area and how it hides the visible part of manhood. On the other hand, fat cells are deposited in the abdomen precisely because they are affected by testosterone. And in this case, the penis may initially be larger.
The negative point of fat is that if the boy was already heavier than his peers at puberty, most likely the lipids in the body made it difficult to produce testosterone. And in this case, the penis could not grow enough relative to the average.
What really affects the size
Most sexologists and andrologists are still sure that the main point is genetic. Statistics have noticed a large percentage of similarities between the sizes of sons and their fathers. The second factor is how high the level of male hormones is in the period before and during puberty. If the course of their production was disrupted, and they did not adequately supply the body in men, it is possible that the penis will not grow as much as it could. The sad moment for many men in this is that although testosterone levels can be increased, but if time is lost, the penis can no longer be forced to grow by any hormonal changes.
If a boy does not develop a penis sufficiently, the reason may also be traumatic effects on the body, surgical interventions.
It's not just the male ancestors that determine how much the penis will grow, but also the nationality of the young man. Most statistical studies nevertheless unequivocally state that representatives of Negroid nationalities have a larger penis, while Asians have a shorter and thinner penis.
How to influence penis growth
Therefore, when a boy is faced with doubts about whether his penis is growing normally, or compares himself disappointingly with peers, he often has no one to talk to.
But if a young man during the period of active growth of the penis could express his problems to his parents, and they would go to the doctor, a solution would be found. Most often in such cases, the doctor would calm the boy and save his self-esteem and self-esteem as a man. In pathological and problematic cases, measures would be taken, for example, hormonal treatment in moderate doses.
In addition, there are simpler measures to adjust the size of the penis during their growth. For example, balanced plentiful nutrition, clean air. A healthy lifestyle is important - alcoholic beverages (especially beer), drugs and nicotine impair the functioning of the male gonads. You need to make sure that the diet has enough vitamins and minerals. Nuts, herbs, dairy products, beef meat will bring the greatest benefit to a member in the future.
It is worth making sure that childhood injuries are treated in time and do not affect the growth of the penis in the future. A large amount of fat will lead to the fact that testosterone will be produced worse. In addition, in any case, at the onset of puberty, you should be examined by an endocrinologist. After all, penis size is not the only important thing, there are much more significant moments determined by hormonal levels.
In the life of a man, there are also psychological levers for positive changes in testosterone production.
In order for male sex hormones to be produced with renewed vigor, you need to feel like a man. And for this there is only one way - achievements, victories, growth over oneself, overcoming difficulties. Therefore, competitive sports, and any other vigorous activity, will bring benefits during puberty. The modern lifestyle of a teenager - computer games and spending hours on the Internet negatively affect the growth of the penis.
What sexologists say
The reasons why men worry about the size of their penis and whether they fit into the medium or large category are mostly purely psychological. Such self-esteem problems may not disappear even after a man has found the love of his life, and the girl is quite pleased with his size.
The source of these psychological difficulties is that penis size for men is not so much a tool for the sexual satisfaction of a partner as an indicator of the status and significance of its carrier. This moment has a deep meaning in the unconscious, and it is difficult to deal with this problem. To understand that your status is not equal to the size of your penis, you need to achieve something in life, seek self-realization.
Not all representatives of the stronger sex follow this path. Therefore, the market for sex products and plastic surgery provides a large number of services: all kinds of nozzles, pumps and surgical operations. In any case, no one canceled the famous words that the main thing is skill. Try to find the right approach to the girl. And maybe even if she didn't gasp at the sight of a penis at the first meeting, the ability to "turn on" a girl will make her sigh passionately many more times.
