Interesting and Informative Facts About the Penis

Both men and women are intrigued by the male sex organ called penis. The length of the penis, its width, how it grows and why it grows has always been a subject of debate among men. Nowadays, even women take active interest in the size of men's penis. An attempt has been made to give you more information about penis and clear some of your doubts regarding the penis size.

At what age the penis growth start?

Your penis starts growing even before you are born, that is in-utero as it is developed during pregnancy. And, like any other body part, the penis grows from childhood to teenage and finally adulthood. However, most of the penis growth takes place during hormonal developments between the ages of 10 to 14 years of age. The testicles enlarge first and then pubic hair starts growing. The penis grows in length first and girth slightly later. Teenagers have to wait for 1 or 2 years after they stop growing in height before they know their final penis size.

What is the average size of a penis in flaccid state?

The average length of a penis in a flaccid state in a mature adult is 3 to 4 inches long under normal conditions. The penis may become temporarily smaller due to cold and exhaustion.

What is an ideal size of erect penis?

Your penis is capable of lengthening and increasing in overall size during sexual arousal. The longest fully erect penis (scientifically validated) is 12 inches (30cms) while the smallest normally functioning penis is ½ inch (1.3cms). An average erect penis is between 5 inches and 7.5 inches, when it is measured from the pubic bone to its tip and between 1 inch and 2 inches in girth. It has been observed that men with a smaller penis in a flaccid state will usually find that their penis will be the same size as the next man in an erect state.

Can the penis size be judged by body, hands or feet size?

According to research, it is a myth that penis size has a correlation with the size of the body, hands and feet. Some people do tend to believe that if a man has bigger hands or if his shoe size is big than the man will have a bigger penis. However, this has not been scientifically validated. Hence, you should not judge the size of a man's penis by just looking at his hands, feet or how tall he is.

Do vacuum devices really enlarge a penis?

Vacuum devices which are primarily used to treat impotence also help to increase penis size naturally. However, the results are not visible overnight. The device needs to be used consistently 3 times a week, for 20 minutes each session over a period of 6 months before you see satisfactory increase in the size of your penis. However, many studies show that vacuum pumps only cause a temporary increase in the penis size, usually lasting for 24 hours. Besides, you'll need to use the device very cautiously. Using vacuum pumps roughly or excessively can result in side effects such as burst blood vessels that cause swelling and pain.

Can you estimate erection size when the penis is in flaccid state?

It is difficult to ascertain the size of the erect penis by looking at a flaccid penis. In fact, it has been observed that penises that are small in flaccid state gain greater length they are erect. A study, conducted on the topic involving 80 men showed that average increases from flaccid to erect lengths ranged widely in men, from less than a quarter inch to 3.5 inches longer. Another study concluded that shorter flaccid penises gain about twice as much length as longer flaccid penises.

Are surgical procedures trustworthy to enlarge penis size?

Penis enlargement surgery aims at exposing the penis more outside the body. Surgeons achieve this by releasing the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone. This allows the penis to protrude on a straighter path, further outward to give a longer physical appearance.

However, penis enlargement surgery is fraught with the risk of penile damage and even impotence. Doctors discourage penile surgery in men with normal erectile function. It is only suggested in case of abnormalities or severe erectile dysfunction.
